Okay.   Apparently I shouldn’t write about my scientific interests here.  In this column, or blog, or digital loose leaf notebook.

But dag nabbit.  I thought everybody loves to Time Travel.   Especially the part about the food.

Yep.   The thing I like most about it… is packing snacks for along the way.  Just like when we were kids, and we would pile into the old goldish-green station wagon for a family outing.   Mom would always pack a grocery bag “Full of Picnic.”  Bologna sandwiches, little bags of Fritos, and oranges.  Sometimes there might even be some sort of cookie…. like Archways.

Those were the days.  I go back to those days often.  Time Traveling is great for that.  But evidently, my scientific meanderings aren’t too popular on the Reader’s Choice List.

So tonight, I will talk about something else.  It is sort of scientific, but what the heck.

Let’s talk Godzilla.  The other night we watched the movie Godzilla.  The new one.  The remake.  The one with Brian Cranston.  I thought it was really pretty good.  As far as Godzilla movies go.

Remember the ones from the 50s and 60s years ago?  THOSE were classic.  It was a Japanese based film company… Toho LTD… which produced them.  But when they “Amercan-ized” them… well… THEN the fun began.

You would see the characters in the movie.. and their mouths would open and shut like they were talking…   And then 29 seconds later… you would hear the English voice-over. … “Watch out!  Godzilla is climbing on Tokyo.”

I loved those.  My favorite part about tuning in to them on Saturday afternoons, was snacking on Bologna Sandwiches, Fritos, and Oranges… while we watched.   Sometimes… we would even get an Archway cookie.

Okay.  Truth be told.  It doesn’t really matter what I am doing.  So long as the grocery bag “Full of Picnic” is involved….  it is ALL good.

There is a lot to be said in life for keeping a bag “Full of Picnic” with you at all times.  It is just like bottled sunshine, and fairy dust.  It adds magic to the moments in you life.

Whether you are Time Traveling…. or not.
