  • Irma making one last stop–in Texas!?

    Irma making one last stop–in Texas!?

    Hurricane Irma has ventured on a remarkable 5,000 mile plus journey from the African coast all the way through the island nations of the Caribbean..Florida.. the Southeast United States. And now TEXAS!?


    Seriously.. Check out this current national satellite composite .. The low pressure that was once Irma is now slowly expanding enough that a portion of it has made it to Houston and other flood-ravaged locations that Harvey rampaged in August.




    There is no damage expected..even radar shows that little rainfall is taking place as IRMA finishes off her long voyage across the United States..

    But 5,000 miles?  Only an armchair analyst of weather, but that seems incredible.

    The trouble facing Florida right now includes power outages that may extend weeks, and 90 degree heat that is about to hit in many places where senior citizens and fragile citizens have no access to cool air conditioning.. 

    The situation facing placing like Barbuda and St. Martin are so much worse: People roaming streets with machetes or others looting.. the island nations have turned into desperate zones that seemingly have been forgotten.

    It is storm fatigue.. the summer of crippling category 5s.. And Jose? No way.. stay away.

    Sort of a strange little photo making its way around the internet.. 

    • The painting is called Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield
    • Mr Pynchon was a successful fur trader who founded Springfield, Massachusetts..
    • The painting is from 1937..
    • Most historians say the mystery object is a mirror – used widely in the 17th century
    • But that isn’t stopping people from pondering if the mystery item is actually a smart phone!
    • Look at the way he holds it! The way he stares.. Could it be an iPhone? or… maybe the other burning question.. An Android!?

    Removal of Westerly mystery object scrubbed, rough surf to blame

    Removal of Westerly mystery object scrubbed, rough surf to blame :

    Rocky’s Tree Service was planning to pull an eight-legged metallic object up from the ocean floor Tuesday night. But the extrication has been canceled due to deteriorating conditions on the beach, East Beach Association President Peter Brockmann confirmed.

    “We’ve had high surf and strong rip tides for the past couple of days. Not sure if [it’s] related to Gert, but [the storm] will make matters worse for the next couple of days,” Brockmann said.

  • Fireside chats and foreign accent syndrome

    Fireside chats and foreign accent syndrome


    Last night while gathered with a few friends over wine, we traveled the universe of strange topics. I brought up my amazement when I hear of people suddenly speaking fluent languages they never knew before after being in comas or hitting their head.. And no one believed me! It is true I argued! These medical mysteries do happen.. 

    So I second guessed myself. 
    Maybe I just am a victim of ‘fake news.’ So I went to some reports. And yes.. comforting to my ears, this language issue is real. It is called foreign accent syndrome. 
    This report appeared in TIME magazine in 2014: 

    A Georgia teenager who suffered a life-threatening head injury last month while playing soccer awoke from a coma speaking fluent Spanish for the first time in his life. Rueben Nsemoh, 16, shocked family members and doctors when he opened his eyes after a three-day coma and began uttering sentences in Spanish, despite having known only a few words before his accident. “It started flowing out,” the teen told TIME on Monday.

    “I felt like it was like second nature for me. I wasn’t speaking my English right, and every time I tried to speak it I would have a seizure.” “It was weird,” Rueben added. “It was not scary at all. I actually liked it a lot. It was really unique to me.”

    And more on the syndrome: The University of Texas at Dallas has a website dedicated to providing support to people who succumb to rare speech disorders.. A report from CNN about this also included this: Three years ago, police found a Navy vet unconscious in a Southern California motel. When he woke up, he had no memory of his previous life, and spoke only Swedish. In Australia, a former bus driver got in a serious car crash that left her with a broken back and jaw. 
    When she woke up, she was left with something completely unexpected: a French accent. And earlier this year, a Texas woman who had surgery on her jaw, has sported a British accent ever since. Next time I gather with the group of friends, 
    I’ll have some detailed examples to prove myself right.

  • IGNORE THE WORLD! CUT THE LAWN!

    IGNORE THE WORLD! CUT THE LAWN!

    Cecilia Wessels snapped the picture of her husband, Theunis, on Friday evening as the twister passed near their home in Three Hills.

    She says cutting the grass was on her husband’s to-do list, and as he started the task, she went for a nap. Wessels says she was woken by her nine-year-old daughter who was upset that there was something like a tornado in the sky, but her father wouldn’t come inside.

    Theunis Wessels says the tornado was actually much further away than it appears in the photo, and that it was moving away from them.

    There have been no reports of injuries from the tornado, although some other photos show downed trees and a barn with its roof ripped off.

    Salem’s Mayor claims to snap a photo of a face in a city street lamp..

    The creepy image looks like a face with a furrowed brow and a mouth in the shape of an “O,” scowling at the people below.

    The photo was taken outside the J. Michael Ruane Judicial Center, at North and Federal streets, according to a city spokesman.

    Perhaps it’s the spirit of a ghost trapped in the glass for all of eternity. Or maybe it’s just the light from the overcast sky shining into the object, playing tricks on the eye.

    THE MOTHER HEN: French artist Abraham Poincheval

    THE MOTHER HEN

    French artist Abraham Poincheval, who famously spent a week inside a rock and two weeks inside a bear sculpture, has succeeded in hatching chicken eggs after incubating them for some three weeks.

    Poincheval embarked on his latest project in late March of imitating a mother hen by incubating some 10 eggs with his own body heat inside a glass vivarium at Paris’ Palais de Tokyo contemporary art museum.

    At the time, he estimated it would take 21-26 days for the eggs to hatch and the first did so on Tuesday. A spokeswoman for the museum said on Thursday nine had hatched and the chicks were on their way to a farm.

  • The Easter Saturday conundrum: Lights Out. Then on.

    The Easter Saturday conundrum: Lights Out. Then on.

    A few days ago the light on the computer desk blew. My wife was sitting writing a check out for a bill.. no better time for a light to fade away than when you’re preparing to watch hard earned cash float down the river of bank fees and bill collection. Nonetheless, given the current state of busy affairs for my family, I have not been able to even remember to get to the store to pick up more light bulbs.. It was on my ‘thangs’ to do list.

    …and now it’s not.

    Because this morning, only moments ago as I write this post, the light actually came back on by itself. Really, it did.  A miracle bulb! Burns out! And re-flares itself!

    An Easter Saturday mystery.

    I am not lying, the light literally rejuvenated itself while my son was playing Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 (I call it Vegetables vs Corpses to annoy him) .. while I Was laughing about my joke of a name, and also secretly panicking because our dryer suddenly stopped working this weekend, the light literally resurrected itself from the dead.

    And while I am not trying to say this is a message from God or a spirit, there is some form of high strangeness that a light, dead, lights up again. Rising from the dead. And what makes this all the more weird: It happened three days after the light burned out…..

    Of course, since it is the modern world, the first thing I did was search Google. And found this interesting REDDIT post in the Glitch in the Matrix.. Someone with logic said this:

    There may be a logical explanation. Inside a light bulb is a filament: a thin metal wire, coiled up like a spring. Electricity causes the filament to heat up and glow. After many heating/cooling cycles, the filament may break and the light is “burned out”.

    However, the little metal spring may only be broken in one spot and could still be bouncing around inside the lightbulb. Sometimes, (due to heating, cooling, or vibration), the little spring will reconnect to the place it broke off from and you’ll get a little more life out of the bulb before it finally burns out for good.

    Logic is necessary during moments of mystery.
    And the light goes on.

     

  • ROGUE AIR FORCE ONE

    ROGUE AIR FORCE ONE

    Life imitating reality.. reality imitating life.

    Either way, some times things just happen that make you think a cosmic player is having fun.. that God is setting up coincidences to make us just laugh . Or Cry.

    When Donald Trump announced his military strike on Syria the other night, he was on Air Force One. It was interesting that he spoke to the press while a television screen on the plane was playing ROGUE ONE, the STAR WARS story..

    The movie continued to play while Trump fielded questions.  The internet, quick to make memes, really did not have to, this time.
