One of the reasons I am grateful for the internet is
that it is getting easier and easier for the “average”
person to get answers to the questionable, rather
than having to settle for what is presented to them.
I remember before the Internet came to be, and it
seemed like most people accepted what they saw

as the best and most accurate information of the day.… —-> Continue…
I carry a small filing cabinet wherever I go.
It’s called my wallet. Rather than cash,
scraps of miscellaneous paper fill it to the brim.
A piece of napkin, a post-it note, gas receipt, etc.
On each is written a reminder of something -
typically a random thought created in my head.… —-> Continue…
Sometimes
a picture says a thousand words.
So I’m going to let this one do that.
BUT FIRST, I must ask you;

Last week I’m at the store walking
around an aisle when all of a sudden,
a line from a movie pops in my head;
“I see dead people,
only they don’t know they’re dead.”

I haven’t seen the movie in 7+ years)
To which my mind echoed back this,
