Spooky Action @ Distance

Spooky Action At A Distance

 

I have a couple hours to kill, and have been given another hour to my 25 hour day, which will pass quickly enough, as I will turn off the ringer on the phone, turn the volume down on the radio and computer-aided screens that surround my easy chair, where at the moment I happen to sit.  One blog after another, is my replacement therapy for 60 minutes of sorting through the candy and the pictures taken at the Halloween events that ended October and brings to me Chill and Thrill and More election and war news, if indeed I tune in.

 

Turns out Spooky Action From A Distance is a no-show for me, as the external is less compelling than measuring the ice sheets at both polls, and yes  doesn’t look like the polls are aiding candidates that are gearing up for a run at the prize we call The-American-Presidency.  Sure, they have debates and we have replay.  Wars are nothing new.  Jobs are scarce, and not always high-paying, but then again, some of us think we can live on a can of tomato soup, and the cat curled up in our lap, as we greet the new day, turn up the heat, and repeat.  Replay and Spooky From A Distance reminds us what we do for fun.  Drones and Spooks and Camera, and as far as I can tell, it’s a small town scene to send your children out, dressed in costumes and mask and flashlight with GPS attached, for a night of fun.

 

And now I sit, looking over the video and the recapture of ground won in 1991 and 2000-something, and realize we sent almost everybody home.  Now they are back, and we can watch if we care to.  Or tune in Sunday News programs that have the Wanna-be-People in suits and tie invade our living room.

 

Still early and I have the audio turned down, so will read the SAP in my favorite language, if I am truly interested.   But I am not.  Spooky From A Distance is my way of layering my blogs and hoping that too much information goes unnoticed in the aftermath of Gaining-An-Hour or more, so am switching the hours around so that we can do more with less.  Same 60 minutes enhanced, and so it seems the desert has bloomed once more, and we can see it from where ever we are, if of course it is not blacked out and redacted.  Is what it is and Spooky From A Distance is not everybody’s favorite show. 

Ask my cat.  “Do you dream?” 

 

Gas and Guns and Oil North-of-Nowhere, but now we can see it for what it is.   Halloween Replay and won’t have to wait another year.  Replay halfway around the world, and time difference no long matters.  Spooks in our home is possible now, and so is Football in London, and yes is another Sunday watching The-Detroit-Lions losing to a Kansas City team.  Shame we have to wait for Kansas City baseball until later in the day.  Big day for Kansas City in New York City and in London.  Not such a big deal for me, as  I have the volume turned down.

 

Drinking tea and hoping for better, but won’t find it in Replay.  And that is how it is for me today.  One more blog to fill that extra hour gained.  Is how it is today, in my easy chair with the cat, hiding out and enjoying the moment as best one can.  Without checking out what happen last night and in the wee hours of the morning, I realize we can bury the dead and cross that road when needed.  Later we can edit and revise and spook-a-fy the scene to get the effect we wanted and the support from the people, who authorize such things.

 

And read about it or see it on Sunday when  Clinton and Bush and Others show up with Halloween hangovers take over, and talk about how good it is and will be when they are running the highest position in this great land.  And it has me thinking. 

“ What’s for lunch.”

 

And the sleeping cat turns over and I now can see, traces of spray paint on his tummy, and I realize it is just not what I thought it would be, back in the day when Spooky Action From A Distance was presented as the ultimate fun.    Then it changed.  They took the fence down, and added replay.  Now I can see everything, and yes.  Must report.  Its Scary and it frightens me, what is coming next.  Halloween 2016.    Enhanced and Super-Sized for affect.  

That’s You, with spray paint removed, but still a bit streaky, and still a bit gray in the smoke and haze of oil wells, now on fire.  Just like before,  but now captured by drones and overhead camera, for the viewer at home.   And I am thinking.  The sleeping cat doesn’t care, and neither do I.  Have the volume turned down, and have seen this from before.  Halloween is over.  Next.  Kansas City in New York City.  Kansas City in London.   Hard to say what is important now, as Replay is taking over and it is difficult to keep my focus, with a sleeping cat on my lap, and the lunch hour approaching, in real time.

 

And I say to the cat in my quiet voice,  “Spooky Action From A Distance and me without an appetite.”    “Imagine That.”
