Wow, Safeway delivered my things. And didn't get lost. I had ordered things I can't buy as:
  1. They are too heavy
  2. They are breakable
  3. GrossOut doesn't have them
  4. I can't make it down that aisle

I was heavy into the kale, okra, lima beans, pickles. I mostly bought non-fridge stuff as I just binned everything in there, which was sad. I bought yoghurt, grapefruit juice, and eggs. I bought coffee and milk. For some unknown reason they delivered two boxes of Eggos, which I hadn't ordered.

Raglan's influence travels far.

A woman plans to marry a partially
demolished building in Seattle on Sunday.

"Yes, I'm in love with a 107 year old building!," writes Aivaz on the wedding invite page on Facebook.

Aivaz writes that her relationship with the building began when she and a group of around 200 occupied the warehouse claiming it as a community space.

"The warehouse is slated to be demolished in a week to make way for luxury apartments whose destiny is to disintegrate our unique creative culture and render our neighborhood even more unaffordable. Why couldn't we have had a community artspace and museum there instead?" writes Aivaz.

River of Blood

'I was ... thinking could this really be what I think it is?'

I had this same reaction circa 1970 when I was out riding and stumbled across a huge pit filled with rotting calves behind a dairy.

Had no intarwebz for 10 hours or so,; it was either magically restored or restored by one of the 45452343524 modem/router resets I did. I usually just let it come back in its own time (it's mostly power-related) but I know Steven Down Below likes me to thrash it when it misbehaves so I am a harsher miastress.

Lucy wrote a poem in her sleep:

let your smile be your umbrella - my birthday version!

let your smile be your umbrella
let your grimace be your shoe
let your smirk be your sombrero
and you'll find a love that's true

let your frown be your long underwear
and your sneer your pocketbook
let your grin be your ballet shoe ribbon
then you'll know you're off the hook!


 
'Really? How interesting!'

Ages ago when I last saw the neuro to try my best to get the CCSVI treatment, I mentioned to her that often at about oh, say 2 or 3am I can wiggle my righthand fingers, which Frank says has to do with the meridian active at that time of day. She said, 'Really? How interesting!' or something. I could tell she believed me but had never heard such a thing before.

Last night at a much earlier hour - possibly before midnight - I suddenly had much greater use of my right hand and my right leg, which hasn't often been part of the 3am upsurge. It's always just enough to keep me going though this life seems pretty stupid to me.

I get much, much worse if I'm cold or too warm.

I was thinking about reincarnation, which has always seemed a fanciful conceit to me, and that it definitely would need two parts. An early part would have the move-from-incarnation-to-different-incarnation aspect, but later rebirth would be in the same form to give you leave to attempt other paths within the same lifetime. Maybe it's all tied to the multiverse theory. Anyway, I truthfully don't feel the individual spirit survives although it would seem to be a nice idea from this viewpoint of little understanding; I think there's an ecstatic joining as energy separated unnaturally by a physical body is once again able to meld with the universal (or multiversal). This body has no more significance tha an old gym slip, and is as thankfully cast off.


 
Continued ...

Me: I bet you've seen a lot of strange purchases as everyone gets impulse buys* and comfort food.
Checker: Exactly.
Me: Does the store have a generator?
Checker: No. We lost power Saturday at [time] and it was out until [time]. Then it went out at around 10 last night and didn't come on until after 3 this morning!

That last outage is the same as my last outage, meaning the problem must've been upstream. By itself it wasn't a huge thing but for me, topping a five powerless day ordeal it was a nasty thing.

* Tim's Cascade Potato Chips - not sure why I bought them. It was like they were a cruise ship captain and my cart was a lifeboat: they just fell in.

I bought spinach, romaine, steak (I'm starved for red meat), Triscuits, milk, sliced toast bread of unremarkable variety, plain German biscuits, yoghurt, gorgonzola, brie... Tim's Cascade Potato Chips...

Fud
I drove to the Grocery Outlet and bought actual FOOD. My time and strength are limited but I did surprisingly well.
I'm looking at it now. What a novelty!

Me: I bet to you've seen a lot of strange purchases as everyone gets impulse buys and comfort food.
Checker: Exactly.
Me: Does the store have a generator?
Checker: No.

...is trying to make a Safeway delivery order when their website goes down :(


 
Then it cut out at about 10 pm as I was frantically trying to put together a Safeway delivery order.

Power came back on at 3:45 am.

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
