Am I In An Alternate Reality?

Dear World:

We, the United States of America , your top quality supplier of the ideals of liberty and democracy, would like to apologize for our 2001-2008 interruption in service. The technical fault that led to this eight-year service outage has been located, and the software responsible was replaced November 4. Early tests of the newly installed program indicate that we are now operating correctly, and as expected became fully functional on January 20. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the outage. We look forward to resuming full service and hope to improve in years to come. We thank you for your patience and understanding,

Sincerely,
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Scientist say that when you enter fog you are actually passing through some sort meshing of time/space. You enter on one stream of time and exit on a slightly different stream of time. Not enough that you can tell (normally) but small unnoticeable changes are different and your life will be . . . altered just a tiny bit. Not that you will know it so don't worry about it.

It was pretty foggy this morning driving to work today so who knows who is reading this. All I know is that odd things started happening YESTERDAY.

I was walking through the Capitol of a major State government yesterday afternoon and was exiting through their tiny 100 year old doors to go outside. Tiny in the fact that people must have been MUCH smaller 100 years ago because it takes two doors to equal the width of one standard door nowadays.

Anyway I push the heavy door open and as I was walking through a female voice says HELLO! I stop and turn to say Hi to the voice but . . . I see nothing.

This confuses me. I look around and see nothing. I stand there for a bit looking for a speaker (the speaker of the house?) but nada!

I walk back inside but decide perhaps it was just a touch of dementia (even though I was tested at work last week and passed, or they tell me I did). I push the door open and HELLO! WTF? It's the door, it's squeak says HELLO! If you open it slowly it says squeak but at a certain speed HELLO! It WAS the speaker of the house.

But then as I'm walking and chuckling to myself a TREE tries to shake my hand!!




You know it's been cold when the trees are wearing gloves. I don't even know where they would buy a glove. How do they pay for them. But then let's not be stupid. Obviously a tree does not BUY gloves. Somebody dropped it and the tree figured . . .why not! No one else is going to use the glove.

I think it liked it.

Side note about winter. Take a handful of snow and wipe off your headlights. I bet they are all salted up.

I was just informed we are under an air quality watch today. I don't remember having an air quality watch drill. Not sure what I should do. Perhaps I will look out the window all day looking for harmful air.

Actually it's teeth cleaning day,I don't have time to look out the window. One of my alltime favorite days. MR. MELOTTE IS NOT FLOSSING ENOUGH!!

WE GOT A BLEEDER CODE SEVEN GET THE CRASH CART!!


Well - not THAT bad but there are times I think the Dental ASSistant is taking some anger issues on my gums. Since I started using an Orel B electric tooth brush my teeth have been awesome. I had an ultrasonic toothbrush for a while but it was pretty crappy. A LOT of money for something that just did not work that well.

Did you know the first recorded use of a toothbrush goes back to the China in the 1400s. They used stiff hairs from a hogs neck!! ahh the good ol' days!

Stefan Drafahl is credited with the first mass produced tooth brush in 1780. While in jail he used a rag with soot and salt to brush his teeth. He felt there had to be a better way so he took a small animal bone, drilled holes in it, got some bristles from a guard, passed them through the holes and glued them.

He soon became very wealthy (once out of jail).

Anybody watching "24"? Awesome day so far. The question is will Renee Walker - will the FBI woman be rescued and just disappear? OR will she come back to help Jack. They seem to make a good couple. Both like to torture people, seems like a match to me. Hate to be their kids though! GO CLEAN YOUR ROOM, NOW!!!

The many girlfriends in Jacks life.

Jacks first wife was Teri Bauer, who was later murdered by Nina.

When Jack and Teri "separated", he was with Nina (Jack never cheated). Nina later kills Jack's wife, and Jack of course, eventually kills Nina.

Jack then is with Kate Warner but has to leave Kate to go undercover. He gets hooked on heroin and falls for another woman. (just another reason to stay away from heroin).

Jack then meets the hot Claudia Salazar while undercover. He leaves, comes back, and she gets shot and dies while trying to help him escape.

And then there is Audrey Raines who has to watch Jack torture her ex-husband (always a problem with relationships). The ex-husband later saves Jack's life, and subsequently is pulled out of surgery and dies, on Jack's orders.

The good thing about Renee is that she seems to be able to handle herself pretty well, being able to kill and torture and not follow orders. I think it's a match made in heaven.

Gotta go :-( Off to the dentist!
