We are under a high wind advisory, a winter weather advisory, and a wind chill advisory. In all the years I have been living in this area, I can't remember a time when we had all three of those going at once. This is one of those moments I would like to throw a climate change denier outside without a coat to stay with my 9 feral cats and ask them if they still believe it's junk science! No fear for the cats. I have some boxes with blankets for them and they are smart enough to use them. They will not freeze on my watch!
This is the kind of weather I experienced for months at a time in Michigan when I lived there for 12 years, and we are well south of there from here. It has been cold, and I have a buddy in Ohio who I have not heard from in days. I've called and texted him like mad. The last time we talked, he expressed concerns about his electricity being turned off. So I'm not in a good place mentally.
All of these changes are so obvious, and yet there are people who don't want to do anything about it. It breeds a different kind of anger for me. And not really for me at the same time. It's for the people that will inherit the world that I have been building for quite a number of years now. When my little nephews ask me if they will be able to live in this area in the future, what am I supposed to say to them? "If you liked Michigan, you'll love it here?" How about that? How about, "This will be beachfront property in another 20 years or less?" Does that sound like something you want to say to a young person? How about, "No, you will have to live in a dome on the other side of the Blue Ridge Mountains and pay large sums of money for desalinated sea water, just to survive." These are not things I want to tell them. For now I just tell them that I think so, but I'm not sure. And they really don't know what to do with that answer. But I refuse to lie to them. They might remember my generation as the ones that destroyed the Earth, but I will not let them remember me as a liar.
Don't you just hate when your Valentine's Day turns out like this?! Love you guys!

Tough Decisions
Hello everyone,
A small few of you may have noticed my absence for the last 8 months. I apologize for not keeping you more informed. It has been very busy for me lately, although I have hundreds of game screens to edit and post. I am glad to see the member of the Assetto Corsa club have been keeping things up. That's why I gave them so many admin powers. I knew they would come through!
In short, my father passed away on 28 September 2015 at 13:11, after a very short bout with colon cancer. It came on pretty fast, and took him out pretty quickly. During that time, I was very indisposed taking care of him, his wife, and my seriously au
Why?
Why so many bad dreams lately? I usually don't put a lot of value on dreams, but in the back of my mind I have always thought a little something about them. But lately, they have all been pretty negative. Things that would not be a pleasure in real life.
I know that dream studies are important to some. My mother (may she rest in peace), was one. She studied them almost scholarly and could give you some of the background implications based on what you told her was the main theme. But she always qualified it by saying that there was no empirical evidence that dreams was omens, or predictions or anything of that sort.
With that said, I h
In the World
Dreary days with no snow get to me lately. Depression is a hell of a disease. It's like being in a box with a book of matches. Every once in a while, you can light a match and see around you, but your time is limited to how long it takes to burn your finger. So you can see sometimes, but not for long. You are limited in how many times you strike a match. You don't want to run out of light before you figure a way out.
Snow offers a bit of light. Soft, beautiful, and pure. It really puts me in a different place mentally. Not to mention it gives me an excuse to be cold.
Devious Journal Entry
Space people... universal love. Where has everybody been? I know where I've been. Four years. Funny how you get used to having access to a computer. 2,000 emails later, I'm just starting to feel like I'm around again. Being in public is different. I feel like everybody knows where I've been. For most of you it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. It's a long story though and I'll tell it some other time.
Meanwhile... thanks to all of you who have wondered and found some way to let me know you've been thinking about me. It's nice to know you matter to somebody. When you screw up and find yourself on and island, you really find out

Man, I feel your pain. Some people are just plain blind. AKA a lot of people. AKA most people. AKA generally speaking, all of society and culture. Everybody says, "Today, I'll make sure to do one thing for the earth." *A few hours later* "Ehhh, there are plenty of people who are doing things for the earth... Yuh know... tree huggers... hippies... Yeah, I'm good. One less person? No sweat."
Well, people, if all of you do this, it ain't lookin' so good. >.>
You know that saying one man's trash, another's treasure? Well where I live, we don't get snow. Period. So I must say I'm a bit jealous of your low temperatures!
Hope your other days go well, if not Valentine's day. PS Sorry for the delay.
PPS Kudos to you for the clever title. Phantom Tollbooth, anyone?
