I Shouldn’t Complain
But you know me. I’m gonna complain a little. Or a lot. Or somewhere in between.
Winter is here in Minnesota, but only barely. It’s been warm and there ain’t been snow. So far.
Last winter…
[Shudder] I don’t want to think about it!
This winter I have a snow removal service due to the generosity of my older brother. He figured I would have to shovel at the house my wife and I are selling, so he would take the burden of doing the house we live in by paying for one more winter. Wouldn’t you know it, because the snowfalls we have had haven’t left enough snow to trigger the service into action, I have been clearing the snow at both our old house and our new one.
Is that irony?
How Spot Someone Who Is Not A Trekkie
Fox News was calling everything they don’t like woke again. What’s new?
Despite her claim, I seriously doubt Fox News host Emily Compagno has ever seen an episode of Star Trek.
A Dimland Radio Pedantic Moment: What Would Happen Next? Logan’s Run
I enjoyed spoiling It’s A Wonderful Life on the last so much, I decided to spoil Logan’s Run from 1976.
We all know the story. It’s 2274. Humanity lives a pampered life of luxury and a never-ending pursuit of hedonistic pleasure. They just can’t live past 30. Some people don’t want to die at 30, so they run, searching safety in a place called Sanctuary. They are ruthlessly hunted and terminated by a security force of Sandmen.
Logan (Michael York) is a Sandman. Jessica (Jenny Agutter) helps runners find Sanctuary. Thrown together as Logan is assigned to become a runner to find and destroy Sanctuary, can these to crazy kids make a go of it?
They discover that people don’t need to die at 30! People can live! And those two nuts destroy the system and free the people. The people are free to live and age naturally.
But, how will they survive?
Cold Reading, The Passage Of Time, And Memories
My wife’s parents visited a “psychic” many years before I met them. The story was impressive sounding from the first question asked by the fortune teller. And they were right!
I wasn’t there. I didn’t hear the session. I don’t know what was said. And, though I’m sure that’s how they remembered the reading, I doubt that’s quite how it went down. Memory is not video tape. The farther away in time we get from the event we are remembering, the less accurate our memory becomes.
The “psychic” was probably doing a cold reading and my in-laws’ memories embellished the story just a bit.
Nobody’s psychic. Probably.
I also told the tale that got me in hot Z Talk water during only my second show. It’s tale of the Z Talk Radio psychic who attempted to do her psychicing on me.
