Friday the 13th!

Thought you might like to know that approximately 3.3% of all Fridays fall on the 13th day of a month. So they are not all that rare, really. The ratio for the last 400 years was 688 out of 20,871 Fridays. In case you're keeping score. 

Suggestion for the National Weather Service

Barometric pressure drops of can trigger migraines in some people. Arthritis flare-ups too.

The “average” sensitive sufferer reacts at 6–10 hPa. 

On Wednesday 11 November the pressure where I live was quite high. It had been predicted to go to 1023 hPa by mid-afternoon but I don't have a screenshot. Now tomorrow morning is supposed to be 1003 hPa. 

A drop of 20 points over 48 hours is significant. I am already (writing this Thursday morning 12 November) feeling it in my bones — like where I broke my fibula in 2006. And the pain in my finger joints is flaring up... Not that I am really complaining, since st least I'm still on the sunny side of the sod. 

See that coastal flood warning on the weather screenshot above? That's our Weather Service. They try to do good. They want to do good. So here's a suggestion. Predicted drops in barometric pressure could trigger a NWS Weather Advisory that sensitive individuals should be aware of possible weather complications. That way, mental awareness might help calm an otherwise mysteriously building sense of pain, dysphoria, and doom, and overall outcomes inprove. 

In the meantime, keep an eye on the weather glass. 

Uhhmmm. . .

Okaaay then. Maybe not the most reliable reseller. 

Plus, is anything real anymore?

Amen. 

Pomposity

"...There are no sermons in stones," it says.

Hm. Except this one, it seems. Unearthed beneath the pecan trees at the John Muir House.

My Imaginary Motorcycle

I don't have a motorcycle. But Google Maps thinks I do. 

I really need to get out and ride my Imaginary motorcycle more often! 

Scrabble Tile Spill Brands

Here is the 21st Century retail search experience. This one happens to be Walmart. What we have here is searching brands of men's lightweight jackets on sale. This is a random screenshot. It says there are 417 results. Some of the names are really weird. One was called Hanes. "Hanes" — really? Who thought that one up?!
