• I had a confusing dream last night. The point of view kept shifting back and forth between a living character and a ghost. So at first I was in a huge mansion where I was to clean the second floor before the building was sold by its owner. I was on a gorgeous wooden staircase that went on and on forever, or at least went up far past a level I would have considered the second floor! lol In fact, between the first floor and the next floor, there was at least enough room for another floor. So I followed this guy up the stairs and listened while he told me what I had to do, which consisted mostly of cleaning the beautiful wood and slate floors. However, once he left me on my own, I started to find rooms which seemed to have been recently inhabited… dirty clothes, closets full of clothes, bric-a-brac, and boxes, unmade beds, etc. And weird things like bits of string and lightswitches, molding, carpet fuzz… And I’d noticed some rooms missing these things.

  
  

  I realized I’d have to clean up the rooms before I could get down to actual cleaning, so I gatherd up the dirty clothes and walked across a hall to another room which turned out to be a classroom. I asked what they normally did with dirty clothes. The class had not yet begun, and was only half filled, but the teacher looked annoyed as if I had interrupted her. She pointed to a laundry basket under a student desk pushed against the wall. I put the clothes in the basket and quickly left.

  
  

  Then the dream switched tracks and I followed this ghost around the mansion. He seemed to be one of those stereotypical twitchy comedy-show “homeless” black guys. If I had just seen him in real life, I never would have know he was a ghost, but in the dream, I knew he was some kind of poltergeist. However, as I followed him around I seemed to be the ghost. He was completely unaware of my presence, and I didn’t seem to have any form. At one point, I even seemed to inhabit his body. He was the one collecting the weird odds n ends I’d found in the closet. He pulled the molding off a door and took the string off a pull-light, all the while muttering, “She no’ married yet, she sho’ don’ need ‘dis!”

  
  

  It was a very strange dream. heh

  Got some news articles for you all here….

  
  

  If I owned my own land, this is the kind of house I’d want… What a Load of Rubbish 

  
  

  Two new books of interest too. I haven’t read them yet, but the reviews look good… Trash Test Dummies

  
  

  Think the current administration cares about the environment or our future? Think again… The Godly Must be Crazy

  
  

  My car just passed it’s inspection and emissions test, but I’m hoping to get a Greener car when I can. I guess if I can’t get an actual Green car or a hybrid, I can get a Honda… Honda gets activists’ ‘greenest’ award

  
  

  And the final article… While I deplore the annual murder of countless trees during the season of Yule, this is a step in the right direction… Trafalgar tree is a true ever-green

  
  

  So I leave you with this food for thought until the next time I have something to share. heh
