Musings

I am edgy, worried, and tense. My blood pressure must be elevated. I’m going to Think Pink, and hope for increased calm.

I’m working hard, inside my head, to create a Halloween costume to go with these dragon fruit. Rrrrrr.

Am I wrong to guess that this homeowner, who has a pair of planters flanking the walkway leading from the sidewalk to the porch, and both have this crunchy beige “vegetation”…am I wrong 🤪 to think they’re specially planned Halloween decorations? 🤣

We saw (not heard) so many diverse views today. I have managed to pick two images; they are not representative. Look at this soupy fog in the valleys when we began our drive in the Appalachians.

I didn’t expect anything like this display at the state-line welcome center where we entered Tennessee. The message (perhaps): watch out for ghosts, dolls, and pumpkins!

Yeah, this is a Hulu promo image. Yeah, we’re happily watching OMITB (again). Cute pig. Look for Paul Rudd with a super-heavy Irish-accent (and tweed flat cap).

Most recent binge-watch: “La Grande Maison Tokyo” (fiction). Tonight’s binge selection: “Lost Treasures of Rome” (science/NatGeo).

Gravity is a dependable engineering principle. Oh, wait. Apparently it’s not a force, but a curvature of spacetime. Yikes.

I’m wondering how many fly traps are deployed in the debate arena.

Cherubim evolution shifted from earlier sphinx/lion/bull (ish) figures with eagle wings to the winged chubby babies of Christian imagery—like these. That’s sure a softening.

My NIL is nil. Well (duh), I’m not a college sports figure, so of course it’s nil.

This topic and the terminology springs from reading Joe Drape’s and Allison McCann’s article “In College Sports’ Big Money Era, Here’s Where the Dollars Go” in the NYTimes, dated 31, Aug—although I just found it today. BTW, NIL stands for name, image and likeness, if the acronym isn’t in your everyday vocab.
