Alas, this is not the 'Big Article' I've been promising, but in the interest of creating regular content, I've got something else interesting for you. My excuse in delay is that writing a lot involves much reading, and it's difficult for me to hold my body still enough to read for very long without shifting. That, and I've been occupying myself with having many more adventures lately.
` One of my adventures occurred a few days ago, when Matt and I went to Town Hall to see Lawrence Krauss humorously expounding on Standard Theory, the most accurate theory ever. It's the greatest adventure of how scientists discovered the structural properties of the universe, on great and small scales.
` As with Stamets and Schwartzberg, I shall have to write something up properly about this, but... here's a video of him on another day, with a different pair of red shoes. He describes how our familiar 3-dimensional universe was discovered (largely by accident) to be a 'shadow' of a larger, 4-dimensional universe. Yes, really.
Although I've not been on Facebook in ever, partly because I've been working on the same article I've been working on for months, I did tag him there. Ah, technology. But then someone who recognized Matt actually gave me a frickin' book, and Lawrence signed it and eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I will write about all that, but first I must finish the article I've literally been promising people, even in person, since just before I had that two-month sinus infection-thing. I really think I'm over it now. Just in time to relish the aromatically-flowered shrubs and trees in bloom!
` As to its subject matter, well, let's just say, my new deadline target date is 'Bicycle Day'! Seems manageable, as long as I can stop being so addicted to weeding (the garden) and spending large amounts of time outdoors and watching animals, clouds, and Seattle's large population of rainbows.
Speaking of, on this lovely sunny day, Matt and I saw a male-female pair of Northern Shovelers swimming in a circle, presumably creating a vortex of debris, which they were feeding on. We stood and watched them for some time, although I did not get a video for the YouTube channel. It probably has to do with being in the moment or some junk. Of course, there are other videos of this on YouTube...
` A few days before, we saw a crow chasing a squirrel back and forth, first to one bush, then another. At last, the squirrel sprinted from a bush near the water and sprinted across the path, into the woods, with the crow hot on its tail. At last, the squirrel somehow got out of reach and the crow just stood on the ground, watching it. That squirrel must have really pissed off that crow.
I've said that I would resist updating you on various news items, but I think it has been long enough. For one thing, my health is doing better than practically ever in ever. My back is getting stronger and less fatigued, meaning less work for the rest of my body.
` This has been the first day in perhaps years that I've woken up after
eight hours. Last night, I managed to stay awake long enough to take a
shower and then grind the callus from between my toes so they don't grow
together. It's fun!
` I even brushed my teeth but didn't floss,
figuring that I wouldn't be able to sleep very long. I actually slept
from about 9pm to 5am. And after getting up and stretching and making
myself a sandwich, I went back to bed and slept another couple of hours.
And as for me contacting the police about Dr. Benninger of Gaslighting Extravaganza notoriety. The guy is still in business, and perhaps also still into molesting people and having them sent to the mental hospital when they try to tell on him. Who knows?
` My main focus in life continues to be recovering from a lifetime of physical/emotional brutality, and I'm doing well. My teeth are still in amazing condition, although I discovered there are stains on the backs of my incisors due to my massive largely-medical consumption of cannabis.
` The shard of glass-like thing remains stuck in my foot, but I am now rid
of three annoyingly large skin growths that liked to break open and bleed
sometimes.There doesn't seem to be anything really 'off' other than physio-mechanical problems, which, after about 4 1/2 years of physical therapy, are nearly over.
` The main weak spot is the right side of my back, and the right side of my right leg. My torso is more torso-shaped and un-dented than it has been for almost my whole life. It feels amazing. My face almost seems normal now, my upper lip barely curls down at all, and I expect it to stop doing so in a matter of months.
And by then it will be onto the next thing.
