WARNINGS FROM THE OTHER-SIDE

WARNINGS FROM THE OTHER-SIDE

  

Weekly blog and one of many in the new routine.  Changed horses in the middle of a river crossing, and forgot what I was doing, got swept up in the moment and swept away, as storm warning on the East Coast rattled my mind, as an earthquake on the west side of Vancouver Island, Canada, rattled my windows and scared the rats in the subway tunnel.   

Near my backyard, and even at 8.1 on the quake scale and then some after shocks, the damage was minimal.  And now they are saying, Hurricane Sandy and we handled it.  Damage.  Of course.  It was a big one.  But then we must remember, it is an election year, and if I have learned any one thing since Katrina and New Orleans being under water and the people stranded, I know.  When the media makes a fuss, they have been put up to it, and yes, we have a great propaganda machine and sophistication rises with the tide and the circumstances. 

And like I said, “It is an election year.”  When there is noise, be it white or otherwise, we know they are hiding something, or hedging their bets.  And here I am writing a blog about Warnings From The Other-side.  You might find it interesting.  Or not.

 

Not taking myself too seriously these days.  Had a flashback and storm warning and an earthquake tremor all in the same week.  Reminded me to count my blessings, and assume the position:  “No Speak.”  And this I did.  Writing a blog and writing a note, and it comes down to this:  Q time for….only the notes.   So my blog becomes an extended rant.  All the things I wanted to tell you on a personal level, need to wait.  But if I bundle it in a blog, who will know:  C-Note.  Blue Note.  Something to Note. 

And I wipe the tears from my eyes.  Lots of suffering and fear and now the clean-up.  Digging oneself out of the rubble and the damage.  Was there very much?  And this depends on who your source of information might be.  Election Year.  Spin is In.  Earth rotating on its axis, and it was a lot of rain and wind.  Storm came in.  Lights went out.  Happens all the time where I live. 

And nobody really makes a fuss.  Winter.  Storms.  Earthquake.  Always know we can rebuild.  And that is where they got my attention.  Storm Warnings.  Money and The Man.  Declare it bad.  Give some of the money from the public pot.  National or Local.  Buys votes.  Good deeds.  And so many things we could talk about, but like I said at the beginning.  Not taking myself too seriously these days. 

Storms come and go.  People be strong.  Wash away the event over a few beers.  Raise your glass and say, “Not too bad.  Car floated away.  But it was old.  Maybe the insurance will pay.  Maybe not.”  And I laugh.

 

Have my mind on other things.  Warnings From The Other-side.  Right Brain.  Left Brain.  Where is this coming from?  Fear and Tremors and Cold Sweat.  Flu season and winter ushers in a warning all its own.  Need a new car.  Just moved and no longer need to worry about the Mexican Drug Cartel, messing up my face, nor my day.  So far away.  Not really important to me. 

These Warnings From The Other-side.  Cat and Mouse.  Wait and See.  Hide and Seek.  All games I play during an election year.  Not going to make me change my game plan.  World Series for MLB baseball just completed.  Congratulations San Francisco Giants.  Clean Sweep.  Won the series in 4 games.  How good is that.  And baseball played in October.  Storm Warning.  Earth Quakes.  Elections.  What a shocker.  Yankees didn’t win.  Ok, they did NOT actually get to play in the World Series.  No hitting.  Story and players getting old.  Damn Yankees.

And yes.  Have other things on my mind.  Need to wash the dishes.  Stoke up the fire and pull up the hoodie, as I go outside to gather more wood.  Not on the east coast.  Didn’t experience Hurricane Sandy.  But if you take a minute and read between the lines, you will hear:  Warnings From The Other-Side.  My blog for today.  Tonight is Halloween and yes.  It could be scary.  Boo.  Boo. 

Boo Who?  Dark Night.

Election Year. 

Be careful where you walk. 

In the neighborhood.

Millions lost power.  Lights Out.

Kind of messy.  After the storm.

Its’ Halloween.  Protect your kids.

And is my warning from the Other-side.

Check the candy before the kids eat too much.

Scary Times.  Election Year.
