Who knows?

Mom once told me about a road incident in which a dude on a Harley Just APPEARED in front of her car- crossing her path. He bolted out onto the street in front of her after sneaking through some backstreet, or something. So she had no choice but to slam on the breaks to keep from hitting him. As her tires screeched he turned his face to her and flipper her off.

She said that "the finger sign" is "not from my generation, so it doesnt mean anything to me. Im no more offended by it than I would be by a baby in a high chair hitting me with a rattle, but I am baffled by it".

She opined that drivers in cars must do that on purpose - rush at him with cars and screech their tires. But I dont think that is a thing drivers do. Play chicken with their cars at him just because they dont like biker dudes. He is just a jerk who likes to defy driving conventions.

You hear about "road rage". But you dont hear about pedestrians on the sidewalk getting "sidewalk rage" and beating on each other for jaywalking. And thats probably because even if you dont speak you still communicate with other pedestrians via body language. In a car there is no body language. So you cant really read other folks and they cant read you, and they misread you, and then you misread them misreading you, and so on.

My neighbor was walking by my house as I stood on my porch. She looked directly at me and said, "Hi". I answered "Hi". She yelled nobody was talking to you, BIT*H!!"

Might be.

But she coulda said nothing to RightGalaxy and just pointed to her phone, and resumed talking to the person on the phone. And obviously she didnt need to say the B word.

My today's weird overlapped and bizzare dreams, while overhearing real life sounds, and still feeling my discomfortable body in real life.

Twice; I slept 4 hours and another 4 after.
And losing my sense of time, yet I still feel it all the way through.


It's not the dreams that baffles me.
It's whatever was happening at me when I sleep.

I do not understand. What I ate and drank, what I felt and thought, when and where I slept didn't changed.
Why am I dreaming rather vividly while sensing my body this way?

The most baffling part was that I feel a bit refreshed. Which is rare by itself.
But the lost sense of time is what truly marks that my sleep restored me than stressing it.

What is baffling me is:
Who is in Fnord’s new picture’?
Robert Duvall?

thought it was him himself, but felt it rude to ask :oops:


thing that baffled me:
why do i keep waking up and drifting in and out of sleep.
why is the heat making it difficult to sleep, but when i turn on the AC i start feeling
sick and sneezing making it even worse.
it has been a cycle of this.

when i scrolled up, i saw Edna has written in a similar vein. but not exactly the same

so will post anyway
:mrgreen:
