Another great sunny day. But a strange one yesterday. Earthquakes on the East Coast! Now that is weird. I remember when we were camping in Colorado many years ago, and we came upon this marker that said a campground had been on the site and in 1958 the campground was destroyed and people killed by an earthquake. I'd thought such things only happened on the West Coast. Our national unease right now seems to be reflected in our landscape.
Last night I had a dream, probably influenced by the quake, that a dark swarm of clouds was overhead, with lightening and swirling tornadoes agitating the sky, and we all knew that something apocalyptic was afoot. I woke up, thinking the dream was a bit like War of the Worlds or one of those movies that I love to watch. What I like about those movies is that the human race comes together for one purpose, and it is not to destroy each other. Of course, it usually means annilating a visitor species, but at least we recognize finally that we are all in this enterprise together. And it's crystal clear that only an invasion from outer space can accomplish this amazingly obvious revelation.
So today, I'll be watching carefully to see if there are any signs. Maybe even wear an aluminum foil hat, so alien species can't read my mind. Of course, why anyone would care to, I've no idea. I bore myself silly, and I should think I'd have the major interest in my thinking. But no, I prefer to read others' thoughts in books or on the screen. My goofy brain is hardly fit for profundity. But it suits me, and it's all I've got!
