Dream about Midnitesun Midnitesun is here to visit. I tell her has she heard the joke about politicians and the flu vaccene, that they have priority to get it, because of all the handshaking they have to do, and slapping backs and kissing babies. Maybe we should protect the politicians from the babies? My kitchen is so dirty, so filfthy, that a spontanious chimical reaction starts. A fine, white powder is falling from the ceiling. She tells me: go to the hospital at once. because It might be chimical poisoning. She doesn't want me to die from chimical poisoning, so go to the hospital just in case. I go to the hospital, but instead of washing off the toxic substance, they just scrape a little for analysis. It consists of nasty little organisms, living in what might be sand or dust. Midnitesun morphs into a scientest who makes strange chimicals. She comes to me and says something like: Eg est der Midnitesun. But now she has to leave. I ask her if she is flying home. She says no, because it would attract too much attention. She will have to go to the airport like an ordinary person. She says she has forty dollars. I tell her that won't be enough, that she will need at least sixty now for the taxi fare out there. So she changes her mind and flies away. What's that! It's a bird ... It's ... It's ... ... SC |

Jaime, maybe it's time to call in the annual cleaning and maintenance crew? (laughing here) With the price of gas, it costs as much to drive as to fly, maybe even more for long distances in my old jalopy. Now, if all I had to do was jump in the sky, you know, Superwoman style? LOL, you'd have to ground all the regular planes cuz my GPS navigational system doesn't work in this fog. It's really thick here in the Willamette valley, feels like a big wet heavy blanket, and it sits about two to three feet off the ground. And it's as thick as the ice fog was in Fairbanks. Do you remember Carl Sandburg's poem, 'the fog comes on little cat's feet?' Well, this fog rolls in on BIG cat's feet. LOL. So, how was your Thanksgiving, mi amigo? |
