Into the bag, that is!! Tonite, the ghosties drift, and I'm gonna put on Most Haunted on the telly -- That show, I'm still wondering if it's just entertainment or a pinch of truth copped up in a whole bunch of imagination. Like the tilting tables tho. Those of you who know Pacheco Pass in California raise your hands. Well, I do, and it's very interesting. I've driven through it in the wee hours of morning... several times. I did not know the history of this road, and wondered why I felt positively spooked driving that stretch. I am not a scardey-bones, have driven alone at night many times. Many places. But that one stretch of road makes me feel awfully uneasy and anxious. Well, imagine my surprise, and 'no wonder!' when I found out that the highway is haunted. No, I didn't see anything, hear anything, just had the willie-jumps and foreboding -- couldn't wait to get to Gilroy. It just so happens the stretch is in a vortex. Lots of really odd and unusual things have been experienced in that area. The depression-feeling is palpable. Many did report seeing covered wagons, people wandering the road, lights, spooky stuff. But I will stand on saying, Pacheco Pass is a really strange experience!

64and a half
Okay you. Since you asked. What is it like to be 64 and a half? Years? Old?? If you didn't ask, well then pook, I am going to tell you anyway. My grandmother didn't tell me. I thought you just got old, wrinkly and eventually white. Then one day your heart went kerthump one last time. Mother told me, but I largely ignored her in spite of seeing how distressing true some of her predictions were. I wasn't going to be that way. But --- I discovered that I did postpone a lot of random pain until I reached the double nickel (55) but it caught up with me. Random pain is pain you get when you are minding your own business and all the of sudden a category 4 twinge courses up your knee. Or you get the bursitis and it goes away in two days but now you have heartburn. Then that stops but your toes hurt. You get the idea. Random -- no obvious earthly cause. You get those, and the docs blithely label em as arthritis. Then of course some of your friends you grew up with die. Keel over with Cancer or a motorcycle accident. You go to reunions to see who is still alive. You read the obituaries because you don't wanna go around saying "How's ol so-an-so?" and find out he's been dead for a month. You go to doctors more often and find that they don't know much either. All the know is tests, and more tests which may or may not pinpoint the problem. I find, for instance that one 'sign of Cancer' is coughing. Well, that's a sign for a lot of stuff -- much of it annoying but harmless. Symptoms tell you less than you think they should. "It hurts when I do this!" "Don't do it!"
And then my favorite... stay in bed. Look doc, I live alone. Who's going to be my nurse and errand runner and maid?? You volunteering? Something has to be done with assisted living. Our society is very uncaring for the elderly. "Take a Pill! be Young again" and some 65 year old freak is running down the road 'exercising' with a grin on his face. Yep. Take the camera away and he comes to a screeching halt, they carry him away, and the smile on his face is gone, only coaxed back by a big paycheck. Look. Build houses with mommy-in -law apartments on. Educate via guys like Dr. Phil that it isn't cool to abandon mommy and poppy in a state home. People sometimes take better care of their animals! Make it a socially acceptable thing to have some old folks in residence!! Pay 'em a little! Getting old is not for wimps, people. Those venerable people need your respect and admiration! We will all go there if we keep breathing. Okay I did my monthly rant. Take care of your Moms.

MidOctober mutterings
Every day this happens. Some human somewhere gets himself or herself in a dilly of a fix. If by some chance you have not, it's because you can't get out, or even off your chair, bed, whatever. It's good to see that scary costumes are popular again on Halloween. We've kinda gotten over the most immediate scare of 911. What we have going now is earthquakes and hurricanes. Kinda hard to dress up as those. Read that people should have their DNA analyzed to see just what they should eat. Danged good idea. Too bad that most people who need this service can't afford it. Some people just can eat cake! Gorge on it!! Some of us should never even get downwind from one. Did you know your sense of smell makes your body anticipate what it perceives? Then the digestive apparatus gears up for the food?? You can gain weight on weeds if you are smelling chocolate, gravy, and hot dogs.

scold
a little chocolate is good for you!!! The Darker the better!! and shame on the M&M people for introducing the lovely dark chocolate bits and then discontinue! Yes, I am one of THOSE people. Gimmee my DARK chocolate.
For all you who try to sell me something in comments, or get me interested in what you got going on commercially, you HAD BETTER at least give me a short review on my blogs!! (BIG SMILE) Gotta draw that, and put it in my picture file, huh.
Oh! My friends brother, his apartment in Southern Texas near the gulf. Last news on it, untouched. Power on, water on. His, and my take on the whole thing --two hurricanes, that while awful in many places, was exaggerated. Some parts barely got any lasting damage at all. While this isn't making light of the many deaths, injuries and property damage, still some media will exaggerate beyond fact. The yellow kid* strikes again!
*For those who aren't a certain age, look up 'yellow journalism' in newspaper history)

Boo!!! Do have fun, and for all you fathers among you, and those mothers who are guilty --don't help your kids divvy up their candy and help yourself to the best ones!!! HA! This year I think I will go as a mysterious Knock -- open the door and no one is there...Boo! I will look before I open my door. I do not want to invite my doppelganger inside! Happy Halloween and Smashing Pumpkin day!
October Meanderings
Like leaves, crunching and falling, all sorts of organic colors -- I do like the season with its apple-crisp air, but I don't like what comes after. I do not like snow because I cannot walk in snow. I can drive on snow and ice better than I can walk on it. My problem. I love the new white blanket, the non-smell, the big doilies falling from the sky, but once it's on the ground... HELP!
Born and raised here, I have noticed Global Warming. Here it isn't too bad once you realize it's going to be DRY! Tough on farmers and aranchers and gardeners but at least I can get out without falling on my non-padded rear end! I"m a fluffy person, weigh far more than I should, but I got an old-man non-existant butt. (Nice picture, huh.) Gotta protect those hip bones! Gotta learn to flip in the air and land on my generous tummy!
Well anyway -- More on quantum stuff -- all the Murphy's Laws do address the phenonemon. Also why we cannot prove Psychic ability. It relies on probability and is by nature random, but with a high predicability if you know how to measure it. Like trying to catch a greasy cat. Psychic ability does exist. The trick is: Prove it. Well, prove it isn't. If we want to travel someday like STARTREK, in transporters, we had better consider quantum theory.
Good stuff to ponder upon near Halloween.

snowbranches
wintry stuff in Wyoming starts in October -- sometimes it can be awfully lovely.
Hey, Been watching story of Einstein, and how he had trouble with the Quantum Mechanics, well actually I think I've discovered proof of Quantum mechanics. Life. The experience of life is full of probabilities. String theory, Just because everything happens identically, it doesn't mean the outcome will be identical. Life, the process, is proof that quantum mechanics is part of Physics, even though it appears not to adhere to laws in physics. It has to do with the random particles that caroom around in space, playing havoc with DNA chains causing mutations. Life. It's all organic, and being organic, you are dealing with probabilities not absolutes. It's like being a snake. Some of this stuff you have to unhinge your jaw to swallow.
