| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
| Creation Saturday! Explain (factually...or otherwise *Smirk*) why/how any common occurrence in nature actually happens. It can be pretty much anything you want, but it has to be real...the why/how part, however, doesn't have to be. Okay, I suppose we've all been listening to the doom and gloom weather reports re the latest hurricane to wreak havoc. We complain about these occurrences and wish them away. It's a destructive side to nature, and a frightening one, too. We are reminded that we have no control. Understanding the origins of severe storms doesn't lessen their impact. Personally, I have never weathered a violent windstorm such as a tornado, or a hurricane. Most of the time, I persevere through blizzards, and the occasional thunderstorm. They are not comparable to what has happened and is happening in the Atlantic. My neck of the woods has experienced more rainfall than usual this summer. I'll admit, I have referred to the extra moisture as a monsoon, but only because I need a word that signifies torrential-like, non-stop , flooding-conditions precipitation. Being continually damp, does put a damper on one's mood and outdoor activities. I miss the frozen type of precipitation. It does not seep into a basement, or flow through roof shingles. So, how/why does the rain fall? Hmmm, perhaps it is tied in with leprechauns and rainbows? The wee mischievous folk do more than hide cauldrons of gold at the end of those rainbows. Besides painting, with brushes and waterproof paint, the colourful paths to their treasure, leprechauns enjoy a good water fight. They toss great pots of water at each other. Eventually, the porous clouds become sodden/waterlogged and they begin to leak. It's like squeezing a soaked sponge, the water has to go someplace. |
