Strange Weather Patterns

I'm no meteorologist, nor do I need to be in order to say that the weather has been funky lately.  How far back does "lately" extend to, that is a matter of opinion that I'll leave to the meteorologists to bicker about.  But yes, things are weird, that's for sure.

The importance of dreams

This post is a little rant unconcerned with the news or real events.  It's real life stuff, nonetheless, even if it talks about dreams.
