• Temporal Anomalies

  I have been enjoying a series of time travel dreams for a while.  If they get any more enjoyable than the one last night, I won’t be able to stand to wake up.

  As the system was being calibrated, anomalies would show up.  A room’s furnishings would be different from day to day, our clothing styles shifted around, the contents of a bulletin board varied, etc.  I especially enjoyed it when we were wearing medieval court fashions.  There was a drawer where we kept our tools and equipment, and its contents would vary from time to time, too.  Things got tense when I went to the drawer to fetch a tool we needed, and found it empty.  Then my companion discovered that it had a false bottom….

  Chickens also figured into the scenario, but I don’t remember quite how, just that they were there.

  I’d been involved in this series for some time when Greyfox mentioned reading about a discovery in quantum physics, that something occurring in the future would affect the past.  Fascinating.

  oceanstarr commented on our power outages:

  ROFL – all those people going without power for one bird’s nest.
  Somehow I think I would be less irritated at the inconvenience thinking
  about the birds.

  Since I learned about the nest yesterday, it has been a load off my mind.  I had imagined all sorts of scenarios including somebody shooting at the transmission lines or insulators on poles, or other forms of sabotage.  Members of the co-op are in controversy over plans for a new coal-fired generating plant, and feelings are running high.  It is a relief to hear that the outages are the result of an osprey nest.  None of them has lasted more than a couple of hours, but they have been occurring almost daily.
