\"Line<\/a><\/p>\n

A good friend of mine had a dream last night. He said Mary & I were in it… and that the three of us were running around, buying old cars, fixing them up… and such. I had Farah Fawcett hair. Mary… a version of Tammy Wynette. Any my friend Justin… well….. let’s give a nod to Barry Manilow on that one.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to this…. \u201cThe average person who lives to be 75\u00a0will have spent six years dreaming.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the Sandman would have it….. I dream a lot. \u00a0 A big WAY lot. In fact, I will probably spend 8 years dreaming by the time I am 75. I just know it.<\/p>\n

Dreaming is, I think, just an extension of our conscious energy. I a subconscious way. \u00a0Kind of like going to the IMAX Theater… by mistake.<\/p>\n

I like to think about all the possibilities of energy in our universe. \u00a0For instance. \u201cThe Sun takes 220 million years to orbit the galaxy, a journey it has made 20 times so far. \u201d That’s a lot of traveling of a lot of energy. \u00a0That’s a whole lotta sun shinin’ down on me….<\/p>\n

But energy can be very big, or very small. \u201cPlato thought that the smallest particles of matter were tiny right-angled triangles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that’s funny to me. I thought the same exact thing. \u00a0Yep. \u00a0Me and my boy Plato. \u00a0(Sidebar: \u00a0I thought his name was Playdough when I was little. \u00a0 Playdough and Soccer Tees.)<\/p>\n

Speaking of small right-sided shapes…. \u201cWombats have cubic feces.” \u00a0This may have had something to do with why Plato thought the way he did about small particles.<\/p>\n

You wouldn’t think by looking at a wombat, that they would have square poop. But they do. Once again, you just can’t judge a book by its cover…. For instance….. \u201cAn orange is a berry but a strawberry isn\u2019t.\u201d How about them apples? \u00a0 And I think Wombats eat all three.<\/p>\n

This next factoid made me sad. I’ve heard of a scaredy cat… but this takes the cheese. \u201cThe common shrew protects itself from predators by dying of fright.\u201d Scared to death. \u00a0Counter-intuitive, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

And. And. And. And….. speaking of counter-intuitive….. \u201cSummer on Neptune lasts for 40 years, but the temperature is minus 328\u00b0F.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am thinking….. This must be summer. In Neptune. Because it sure ain’t the land of oranges, sunshine, and Farah Fawcett. \u00a0That sounds more like….Southern California. \u00a0….in my opinion….<\/p>\n

Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance. \u00a0–\u00a0Plato<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
