Be warned:in this very rich environment where you can immerse yourself so completely, your emotions will become engaged -- and not everyone is cognizant of that. Among the many excellent features of SL, there is no auto-return on hearts, so be wary of where your's wanders...

1st Monday in June

Today is the 2nd day of the 23rd week, the 5th day of the 6th month [and the first Monday], the 156th day of 2017 [with only 202 shopping days until Christmas], and: 
  • Apple II Day
  • Baby Boomers Recognition Day
  • Festival of Popular Delusions Day
  • Hot Air Balloon Day
  • National Attitude Day
  • National Gingerbread Day
  • National Moonshine Day
  • National Veggie Burgers Day
  • Thank God It's Monday Day
  • World Environment Day
ON THIS DAY:  In 70 Titus and his Roman legions breached the middle wall of Jerusalem in the Siege of Jerusalem.  In 1817 the first Great Lakes steamer, the Frontenac, was launched.  In 1851 Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery serial, Uncle Tom's Cabin, or Life Among the Lowly, started a ten-month run in the National Era abolitionist newspaper.  In 1883 the first regularly scheduled Orient Express departed Paris.  In 1915 Denmark amended its constitution to allow women's suffrage.  In 1933 Congress abrogated the United States' use of the gold standard by enacting a joint resolution (48 Stat. 112) nullifying the right of creditors to demand payment in gold.  In 1956 Elvis Presley introduced his new single, "Hound Dog", on The Milton Berle Show, scandalizing the audience with his suggestive hip movements.  In 1981 the "Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report" of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported five people in Los Angeles, California, have a rare form of pneumonia seen only in patients with weakened immune systems, in what turns out to be the first recognized cases of AIDS.  In 1989 the “Tank Man” halted the progress of a column of advancing tanks for over half an hour after the Tiananmen Square protests.  In 2003 a severe heat wave across Pakistan and India reached its peak as temperatures exceeded 50 °C (122 °F) in the region. 

 

I didn’t actually PLAN to stop writing over the weekend.  In fact, it is my intention to post every single day so any hiatus whatsoever is unscheduled.   Sometimes I get derailed because I read the news – a nasty habit that I have acquired and can’t seem to shake because I kinda care about what’s going on and have pretty strong opinions about it whether it is politics, economics or environment.  Unfortunately, my viewpoints do not appear to be mainstream, primarily because there doesn’t seem to be a mainstream these days just very raucous blathering that contains little factual content or context.  Sometimes I get derailed because I am just feeling a little down, or maybe I decided to stretch out and read which tends to encourage dozing, or maybe I am binge watching a favorite show [side note:  yes Sense8 is worth the time to watch, you can fast forward thru the raunchy parts if that is not your thing], or maybe I am just living a 2nd Life either in world or games.  Sometimes I am just plain busy living rather than commenting, although I may continue to share articles and pictures and such that capture my somewhat wayward attention and pique my interest throughout the day.

 

And then it seems as though I turn around and the weekend is gone.

 

 

 

Of course, I didn’t actually plan not to be on the exercise bike every single day either or to eat foods that are not in my diet plan….  But that is definitely another topic for another time, neh?
