Misheard Thing of the Day:

"High Speed Diabetes."

Thoughts Before Bed:

There's a lot to unpack from this weekend. Lots to unpack. Not just suitcases.

Thoughts Before Bed

I'm laying in bed, 500 feet from the Pacific Ocean. It's midnight, so I can't see it. But I can hear it, like the gentle rumble of air conditioning.

You read in books about the "Call to the Sea," the longing captains have to send themselves the unknown. It's very real, and I caught that bug the first time I ever saw the Pacific Ocean from here about ten years ago.

At that time, it was just a few minutes, staring into the forever waters at the end of the world. Now I've shared some extended time with that ocean, and that fascination has not waned. I feel there's something out there I want to see. Maybe something that would like to see me. And there's always the temptation to just walk into it, and swim as far as it will take me. Mostly I feel very small compared to the gigantic waves I see.

I love the ocean. I will need to visit this place again.

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Double Wall Coffee Mug. Consider this. The Great Wall of China is thought to be the greatest wall of all time, but that only has one wall. This mug has twice as many walls. Incredible.

@Aradia - Since the Hall of Mosses was closed we had to find somwthing else. This was the freaking RANGER'S STATION in Forks....

@Tekk - It's way out here by Forks called Kalaloch lodge. I'd say it's beautiful but we got here in the dark of night. You can hear the ocean roaring not too far away, though!

"For those who must ride out the storm, some significant portion will die, and the survivors will carry the psychological scars of this emergency for the rest of their lives. This is the material reality defining all non-cis people in Texas, regardless of how hopeful, faithful, or positive someone wants to be."
