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

Tonight, I have a million and one thought running through my head.\u00a0 So many in fact, I\u2019m having trouble narrowing down what to write about.\u00a0 I swear, sometimes I think I am ADHD.\u00a0 There are times when I get totally distracted.\u00a0 Things that have gone whoosing through my little brain tonight\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2022 How many people live off the grid?\u00a0 Where are they?
\n\u2022 South Carolina is the most violent state in the U.S.
\n\u2022 The time I spend in Seven Mile Creek today, and hauling rocks out of that creek.
\n\u2022 Hot weather makes me feel good. Right down to my toes.
\n\u2022 Thunderstorms and lightning strikes can be intimidating.
\n\u2022 My first memory is from when I was three.\u00a0 And then I don\u2019t really remember much for the next couple of years of my life.\u00a0 Youth Amnesia.\u00a0 It exists.
\n\u2022 The truth about the center of the Tootsie Pop.
\n\u2022 It doesn\u2019t seem fair that Pluto got kicked out of our galaxy.<\/p>\n

Okay, I do have to talk about that one for a minute.\u00a0 Pluto.\u00a0 What the heck?\u00a0 Pluto was my favorite planet, and NOW, the scientists said it is not really a\u00a0 planet.\u00a0 It is now considered a \u201cDwarf Planet\u201d\u2026\u00a0 So out of the Galaxy it goes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bull-puckets, I say.<\/p>\n

I mean, we don\u2019t kick Dwarf People out of society, because they are too small.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, I think it is \u201cpolitically\u201d correct to call them \u201cLittle People.\u201d<\/p>\n

So why can\u2019t we just call Pluto a Little Planet, and love it like we always did?\u00a0 It still goes round and round the big sun, just like the rest of us.<\/p>\n

And the Attention Disorder continues to shine through.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So.\u00a0 Tonight, maybe just a couple of photos, and a few comments on them.\u00a0 Before I get swept away and right a piece as long as War and Peace.<\/p>\n

\"oliooeoeoe\"<\/a>
\nThis shot is of Ollie.\u00a0 She follows me everywhere, but she is deathly afraid of storms.\u00a0 Tonight as the lightning was crashing around, I had to go out to the coop, to put the chickens up for the night.\u00a0 She stayed right with me, an eye to the sky.\u00a0 And when we got back to the garage, you could see the fear on her face.<\/p>\n

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

And this is Mothman.\u00a0 He reminded me of The Mothman Prophecies.\u00a0 West Virginia, 1967.\u00a0 I have been to The Mothman Museum in Point Pleasant.\u00a0 Not by plan, but by detour.\u00a0 Whether it is true or not\u2026 either way\u2026.\u00a0 Moths can be creepy.<\/p>\n

SO.\u00a0 There it is for the night.\u00a0 My disconnected rush of random thoughts… on a Saturday Night.\u00a0 Did I mention the Big S’more Rescue in California.\u00a0 Okay, enough.<\/p>\n

Maybe life is random, but I doubt it.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
