Thursday Dark

 

HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM CST THURSDAY. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. 

Isn't interdiction on the high seas an Act of War? "Not necessarily," rules AI. The last I recall is 1962, ships of the Soviet Union carrying missile base materials to Cuba and us intercepting them - - it was a tense Time and a relief when the Soviets did not respond as if it were an act of war, but turned the ships back. 

Thu Dec 11 3:50 AM here in 7H, 51°F feels like 42° Wind NNW 10 mph, gusts to 22 mph Moon 56% last quarter. 

Relief and a great happiness for me this past Monday morning when the doctor ruled No Surgery on the lower eyelid of my right eye. A factor of age, the eyelid is turning inward a bit such that eyelashes interfere with eye movement, causing me to blink, rub the eye, blink. A prescription med is easing it. I don't like the idea of anything happening close to my eyes, much less it actually having to happen, nomesane? 

The doctor appointments never end though: 8:00 AM at the dentist this morning.

Holiday Season predawn sustenance: alongside a mug of hot & black decaf purified and sanctified with a tiny pour of brandy, a fold-over sandwich of strawberry jam on Pepperidge Farms very thin white bread. As one of many trivial hobbies involving food, I enjoy sampling various brands of strawberry preserves, this Time jam that was on twofers. 

Strange how people's lives turn out to have been lived, so often totally out of synch with early expectations. The opposite in my case: I knew this before I was ten years old but from age twenty to forty tried unsuccessfully to evade and escape. It wasn't inevitable, but finally giving up was my life's greatest relief - - may The Peace be with you also.

4:18 Thursday, an extraordinarily busy day ahead, so going for a lie-down.
