    You know, you're in old Germany, when...

    This is weird. In my small town in Hawaii, I have so far come to know three German women who have lived here many years. Two were military brides, the third ran away to Hawaii when she was a hippy. All three of them enjoy correcting my German (no offense taken.)

    REM sleep - dreams

    Leading a marching band symbolizes your feelings of heavy responsibility in leading a chaotic enterprise. The hospital shines a light on health concerns that are always in the background. Looking in each room for a person means that, subconsciously, you crave acknowledgement of your efforts. And...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    A real mystery. What were these things? What were they used for? My best guess is that they were used in some sort of game of chance. https://hackaday.com/2024/01/29/roman-dodecahedrons-a-mystifying-archaeological-find/

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Is the jury still out on electric vehicles? Batteries are still a problem? Battery disposal a problem for ten years from now? Here, a shortage of charging points is an issue. When we first moved here, a friend leaned on me pretty hard to buy an electric vehicle. I didn’t go that route...

    Amelia Earhart May Have Survived Crash-Landing

    The hunt. Is on, again! New sonar image might show the wreckage of her plane on the ocean floor. Experts seem to agree that this latest development warrants further investigation. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13013949/Amelia-Earhart-missing-plane-sonar-images-photos.html

    Coming soon… A TRILLION cicadas will soon erupt in U.S. Midwest and Southeast. The U.S. has not seen such a swarm since Jefferson was President. Is it an omen for 2024? I hear they taste great dipped in chocolate. https://dnyuz.com/2024/01/19/the-world-hasnt-seen-cicadas-like-this-since-1803/

    High strangeness! I am kind of inclined to take this one seriously. I say this because I know a few people who claim that departed friends/relatives have come back to let them know that they are okay in the afterlife. The rather “random” nature of this guys story is in-line with other stories...

    I agree. Although I’m aware of the criticism of Graham Hancock (I.e. “He is not a real archaeologist, he’s not a scientist or a historian. He is only a journalist“) I am nonetheless sympathetic to his general argument that there was, possibly, a human civilization some twelve to fifteen...

    Grab your Fedora and whip! Huge lost city found in the Amazon Jungle. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-67940671 Certainly upends what I was taught when I was a kid.

    Glass half full or half empty? If you read the entire article, some congressional representatives say the briefing did “move the needle” and that they did, in fact, learn some new information. (Yes, it’s noted that not everyone is of that opinion.) Hopefully additional details will trickle out...

    Strange bipedal creature sighting. That’s got to be fake.

    Debunkers say this newly released video is a dead bug smooshed on the lens. Counter argument says (a) it moves around on the lense, and (b) the thing only shows up on thermal imagery. It is invisible to the naked eye. This is only a short segment of the total video. Supposedly there is also...

    Big spotted cat caught on camera in Arizona. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/endangered-jaguar-spotted-in-arizona-previously-unknown-to-us/ According to the article, they’ve been seen in Southern California Too. What other unexpected beasties might be slinking about in the dark out there? I’m...

    Anyone else interested in the ancient world?

    Ruined Monestary of Eldena near Greifswald by Caspar David Friedrich, 1824. Hauntingly captures his contemporaries living among the ruins of the past. I have a soft spot for the Romantic movement.

    "Being Henry"

    I know a guy who spent seven years sailing around the South Pacific. His adventures occurred some years ago. Yet, now it seems that all he can do is talk about those years on a sailboat. Another friend had a glamorous career in international relations. You guessed it; now all he can do is...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Mike Sadler, founding SAS officer and LRDG navigator dies at 103. I just read a book about these guys (see “what are you reading?”). The parts about them navigating hundreds of miles through the trackless Sahara at night stuck with me. Mike Sadler was the guy who got them to their target with...

    When this current David Grusch whistleblower story started, I believe the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) said that Grusch’s allegations were “urgent and credible” (or something very close to that). At minimum it seems that in next week‘s hearing, the ICIG will have to clarify...
