Okay. If you are interested in further exploration, I suggest “Portals” by Lynne Hume and “Updated Slipstream Time Hacking” by Benjamin P. Hardy. If nothing else, you might find the concepts amusing and/or intriguing, and remove you from whatever hampster wheel your mind has been stuck on and in. I can only add, I care about you, and “BE HERE NOW.” And yes, it’s August, and I’m only praying that no one is stupid enough to start any fires. This is the time of year when I cannot wait until snow covers the ground and we are safe again. And no, I’m not in the part of Washington where it rains — I’m in the part where sometimes we get 12 feet of drifting snow which keeps us from going anywhere until the County decides to get off their butts and plow the twenty miles of road to the main highway (which they NEVER do when it is still snowing, or when school is out for vacation or snow days).
