Sad news about Chuck Norris' passing in the newstoday, as both of my parents died at the age of 86, which now in my mind is the maximum age I can expect to reach.
I can't think of a single Chuck Norris movie I liked except for maybe 'The Way of the Dragon'and even then, I saw that one as a teenager at the drive-in when the west was into Kung-Fu fighting, and I don't even remember Chuck being in it.
I find it amusing that countrieson the northern side of the equator dictate the holidays by whatever season they happen to be in to us countries on the southern side of theequator.
I have to be honest and say that there are few "alien abduction"stories that I actually believe.
And I'm sure people like Mike Clellandand Whitley Strieber are sincere in their belief that aliens have been "visiting" them, but where is the proof, other than their stories that they tell to whoever will listen to them?
While the "alien experiencer" crowd can be fun to listen to at times, it's pretty hard to tell folktales from fact, but there are a lot in that field who are just full of whatever these aliens are allegedlytrying to extract with their probes, I think.
I like listening to podcast episodes about synchronicity, but the trouble there is that you get all kinds of people from the "alien experiencer" to the "chaos magician" to the"Flat Earther"trying to mix their weird beliefs into the field of synchronicity studies, which just muddies the waters I think for people who take synchronicityseriously.
After writing up this post and posting it, the latest 'Neon Galactic' podcast hit my Apple Podcast playlist as I was going to bed, and I had a listen to it.
My front yard looks good and is full of wildlife, but my backyard is in need of some replanting, but I do have a lime and lemon tree doing OK at the moment that should bring lots of future fruit for me to squeeze into juice.
I want to make my backyard more butterfly friendly, so I'm reading my 'Create More Butterflies' book to find out what trees I can place in my backyard.
"Orangesand Lemons Day is a cheerful, bell-ringing tradition centered on St. Clement Danes Church and a nursery rhyme that has echoed through generations. It blends two things that rarely share the spotlight: church bells and citrus fruit."
