    Do You Dream In Colour / Color? With Or Without Sound?

    I have had monochromatic dreams but it seems to be nighttime or twilight in the dream when that happens. I play several stringed instruments, some better than others. One of the most vivid and real seeming dreams I can remember, probably 20 years ago, involved me playing the heck out a fiddle...

    The Two Varieties Of Tabby Cat

    Color does not make a breed. Some breeds have certain color schemes as a part of its standard, but just because a cat is a certain color scheme does not make it a certain breed. Most kitty colors are evidenced across most all breeds. That said, most cats are some kind of mongrel which makes them...

    The Two Varieties Of Tabby Cat

    Here is my Sweet Pea, a long haired Calico. She turned up one evening about half grown severely wounded and almost dead. She's a lucky girl and knows it.

    U.S. Military: UFO Investigations, Knowledge & Disclosure

    Why is the US gov “normalizing” or changed their tune on reporting and researching UFOs? Pretty simple really. Advancements in drone technology available to just about any potential enemy. There’s no need for speculation about off world tech to justify an increased interest in strange stuff...

    There Is Something In The Woods

    Lol, theres no reason to be terrified or never go camping. I’ve hunted, backpacked, and camped all my life. These are just things you need to be aware of depending on the specific location and local environment. Poisonous snakes- are a potential danger even in your back yard, tread with...

    There Is Something In The Woods

    Around here there’s too many verifiable dangers in the woods to worry about the paranormal stuff. Poisonous snakes, bears, cougars, scorpions, wild hogs, gators, bad weather, an accident, getting lost, getting mistaken for a deer and getting shot by a hunter, just a few off the top of my head...

    Things (Sounds, Textures, Etc.) That Set Your Teeth On Edge

    As a musician, for me it’s a bad mix combined with excessive volume, esp in certain high and high-mid frequencies. A poorly mixed and excessively loud rock band is downright painful and can give me an instant headache.

    The Alligator Thread

    Putting gators on the endangered list way back when has proved to be way too successful. Back in the 70s the wildlife agencies stocked gators in our North Alabama waters to control the beaver population, thinking our winters were too cold for them to reproduce. But they did, approx one out of...

    Prof. Brian Cox On Ghosts

    Since I’m across the pond my only exposure to BC is YouTube. But it seems to me he suffers from the same condition as many science popularizers who become celebrities. They can get a bit too far up there own ass. A condition not restricted to science types, but an affliction common to...

    Strangeness In Vehicles: Things Experienced While Driving (IHTM)

    No wildlife on the outskirts of a quaint English village? Not even a raccoon or opossum? Admittedly you dont see Bobcats or Owls every day here in Alabama, but if you drive slowly on an isolated road at night its not out of the question.

    Strangeness In Vehicles: Things Experienced While Driving (IHTM)

    Ive experienced a Bobcat plopping down out of a tree onto my car hood. I was going slow down a country gravel road on a dark night. We stared at each other for a brief moment, then he took off. Once on a similar dark road out in the National Forest, our headlights shined upon the hugest Owl...

    Crossroads, Selling Your Soul, Voodoo & The Blues

    I made a motorcycle trip thru the Delta back in 2019, I think it was, before Covid anyway. Im afraid any mojo at The Crossroads is most likely long gone. Now there’s a gas station, a convenience store, a fast food joint, and a discount furniture store on each corner. Also the roads are paved...

    Hail & Hailstorms

    I was once traveling on my motorcycle thru a long empty stretch of eastern Colorado high plains prairie when I ran into a hailstorm. No shelter for a hundred miles, not even a tree. Also no traffic, I was really out there. All I could do was pull over and hunker down. Thankfully it never got...

    Are We Still In The New Age?

    As far as I have been able to determine the line drawn by astrologers to divide the ages of the great procession is a somewhat fuzzy one, 500yrs +/-. There doesnt seem to be any real agreement. Choose your poison and go with it I guess.

    The You That Might Have Been

    My only big regret is not getting any art and musical training as a youth. From an early age I was drawn strongly to the visual arts and music. But my parents actively discouraged it.

    1970s: Why So Dark?

    Complain about 70s music all you want but it was way more diverse than today. Sure there was pop pablum but there was also the Allman Bros, skynyrd, Springsteen, the Dead kept trucking on, Pink Floyd, ELP, Steely Dan, a ton of great singer songwriters, etc.

    1970s: Why So Dark?

    The 70s were my teenage years. It was a decade of do your own thing and debauchery for the most part. The social idealism of the 60s was past but everyone seemed to be ok with paddling your own canoe. The music was great. I had fun. Then disco and the 80s over commercialized everything, plus I...

    Is There Anything You've Grown LESS Sceptical Of?

    As far as Fortean stuff goes, I cant think of anything I've become less skeptical of. For a while in my 40s, I flirted with organized religion in the form of Evangelical Christianity, but that didn't last more than a few years. I came out the other side just as skeptical and cynical as I was...

    Do Forteans Share A Myers-Briggs 'Type'?

    Thought I’d bring this old poll back up because I’ve kinda been on a Jung/Cognitive Traits rabbithole dive the last week or so.

    Learning To Read & Early Childhood Reading
