IT WAS A BIT CLOUDY HERE, MUCH LIKE THE NIGHT THAT I TOOK THIS SHOT. THIS IS THE "RED MOON" THAT SHOWS UP EVERY YEAR OR TWO. I LIVE IN TOWN AND THE LIGHTS ON THE GROUND KEEP ME LOOKING UP FOR THE MARVELS IN THE SKY.
I NEVER DOUBT THAT THE SKY WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE, JUST A FEW CENTURIES AGO, THAN IT IS NOW. FOLKS THAT LIVE NEAR ME THINK THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY NECK FROM TIME TO TIME, WHEN I SPEND TIME LOOKING UP. THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SKY, DAY OR NIGHT.
AT NIGHT THERE IS BEAUTY AND MYSTERY FROM HORIZON TO HORIZON. AND EVEN IN THE MID DAY HAS ITS OWN SHOW. A FEW MONTHS AGO I WATCHED A JET BEING REFUELED DIRECTLY OVER HEAD. IT IS LIKE JUGGLING HAND GRENADES AT 30,000 FEET.
NOW, ABOUT THAT FLUE.... DON JOSE, REST AND DRINK WHAT EVER MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER. TREAT YOUR SYMPTOMS. THEY ARE YOUR EARLY WARNING SYSTEM. NIQUIL AT NIGHT IS A GOOD THING, HOWEVER; IF YOU WATCH THE COMMERCIALS, PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE THEY ARE WHEN TAKING IT. IT IS ALWAYS IN THE BEDROOM. IT IS THAT WAY FOR A REASON.... IF I TAKE IT IN THE KITCHEN OR BATHROOM,... THAT'S WHERE I WAKE UP. THEN I HAVE A WHOLE NEW SET OF ACHES AND PAINS TO DEAL WITH.
IF YOU HAVE A STOPPED UP NOSE AND CANNOT BREATHE WELL, DO WHAT I DO,,... PAY ATTENTION TO THIS:
BUY A NEW BOTTLE OF ANY BRAND OF DECONGESTANT NASAL SPRAY. AND A BOTTLE OF BENADRYL [ANTIHISTAMINE] , POUR ABOUT A HALF TEASPOON OF THE ANTIHISTAMINE IN THE DOSAGE CUP, THEN GENTLY SQUEEZE THE SPRAY BOTTLE AND PLACE THE END OF THE SPRAY BOTTLE INTO THE SMALL CUP AND SUCK UP THE ANTIHISTAMINE INTO THE SPRAY BOTTLE AND SHAKE WELL.
ONE SHOT IN EACH NASAL PASSAGE AND HOLD ON TO SOMETHING FOR ABOUT TEN SECONDS.
THE WORLD WILL SMELL LIKE CHERRIES FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE,.... THEN YOU CAN BREATH EASILY, FOR SEVERAL HOURS.
IT WILL NOT KNOCK YOU OUT ALL DAY AND IT WILL CLEAR OUT YOUR SINUSES.
I HAVE DONE THIS FOR YEARS FOR ALLERGIES [ RAG WEED ] AND IT HAS NEVER FAILED ME. I TOLD MY DR, THAT I HAD BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS, WHEN HE WAS ASKING HOW I WAS ABLE TO MISS THE FLU SEASONS. HE LOOKED AT ME FOR ABOUT TEN SECONDS AND SAID, "THAT SOUNDS INSANE", THEN HE SAID THAT IT MADE PERFECTLY GOOD SENSE FROM A MEDICAL POINT OF VIEW, IF YOU CAN GET PAST THE CHERRY SMELL. IT CREATES A TOPICAL APPLICATION OF ANTIHISTAMINE WITHOUT THE DROWSINESS.
JUST BECAUSE IT WORKED ON ME DOESN'T MEAN THAT ANY ONE CAN STAND IT, (IT HAS A KICK LIKE WHITE LIGHTENING FOR A FEW SECONDS.)
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
NOW, RELEVANTCHAIR, I LIKED THE "PERCH" SHAPED ARROW HEAD. I ALSO LIKE THE ROAD RUNNER. ONE OF MY EARLIEST MEMORIES WAS TRYING TO CATCH ONE. MY GRAND MOTHER GAVE ME AND MY BROTHER A SALT SHAKER AND TOLD US THAT IF WE COULD SHAKE A LITTLE SALT ON THE BIRD'S TAIL, WE COULD CATCH IT. IT WASN'T UNTIL I HAD CHILDREN THAT I REALIZED THAT SHE WAS GETTING US OUT FROM UNDER HER FEET IN THE KITCHEN. IT STILL WORKS TODAY.
DON JOSE, YOU ARE IN MY
. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
I'LL PROBABLY GET ANOTHER HAND SLAP FOR MENTIONING MY FAITH, MODERATORS FROWN ON IT.
TAKE CARE.
