Dreaming

Just another day. Still, there is some promise to it. I do have an appointment this afternoon to consult with a neurosurgeon and that may (or may not) represent a solution, a cure, for the painful condition of spinal stenosis. Yes, it’s another old folk’s problem!

It’s also another day with fierce hot winds and that is scary these days. Fire is on everyone’s mind, especially as some of the northstate fires are only contained and not officially ‘out’. A wind like this can revive embers that have been lying dormant under a thin blanket of dirt for a week or so.

Despite the wind, I was outside and looking at the stars this morning. Delightful! Apparently, the revolving beacon at Haight Field, the local airport, has been turned off and the sky is fully black…except for that pesky sliver of the moon. And that should be gone tomorrow night.

Of course there was a ‘big surprise’ in the news yesterday. Senator Obama was declared the official presidential candidate of the Democratic Party. I’m sure that there will be more big news from Minnesota when Senator McCain is declared the winner on the Republican side. Amazing stuff. It doesn’t get any more exciting than this, folks! And that’s sort of sad.

I’m still waiting for that unknown candidate that will turn in an application for the job of POTUS and under the heading, Party Affiliation, it will be stated, None. Now that’s my kind of candidate! But, I dream…
