A good night's sleep

We have all been there.  Tired after waking.  But you just woke so how is it you are tired?
There is PhD level research on this subject.  Many a quack has a theory.  Mattress manufacturing is $15 Billion industry.

Yet there are sleep deprived people walking like zombies all around us.  What is going on?  Every month it seems some charlatan comes with a new patented method to help us sleep better.  From nose implants to gadgets to perfume and create melodies in the room to hand crafted steel coils made in European factories (which could mean Bosnia but who understands geography?  esp after missing sleep) that go in to sheep skin mattresses for the best sleeping experience ever!

Now there is a movement fueled by showcasing supply chain economics to those than can barely add 2 and 2.  Take the middle man out and get it direct online.  Save hundreds.  We will show you how.  We will actually just give you $500 back - now that was easy.  That itself should help you sleep better.  Never mind the $3,000 you signed up for on an installment plan.  If you are like half the Americans then you are probably broke so you are not going to be able to afford that monthly payment.  But never mind that we come and take it away - the mattress that is.  We already made a killing on the financing so it really does not matter what coils you slept on.

We will recycle those to the next fool who wants to sleep better - tonight!

All first world problems for obese, brain function retarded people on the planet.  If you are dead tired as the expression says you can sleep on an Indian railway platform with bugs crawling up your ass.  And not miss a beat.  Wake up on time aka when fully rested to start the routine of being dead tired all over again.

Now if you want to experience that you have to sign up for a meditation and yoga class which is coming to a center near you.  Cost only $500 - available with four easy payments.  Do the math.  If you are awake.

New England is gleaming in the fall

 This autumn the weather gods cooperated as we took a family trip in the northeast to see six states that qualify or makeup what is known colloquially in America as New England. Mass, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island (tiniest state in the union). The outing helped tally up the states we either lived in, visited or have worked in to 47. Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest.  Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one.  Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list.  Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD  - school f

Searching for a lavish 'fill in the blank with other adjectives and gender' in bed

 Many of the readers of this blog have experienced this. Strange sounding messages popping up in your text or WA or emails all day long from some exotic sounding locale with an out of this world individual looking for love, sex, money or other paraphernalia to get a high. I mean granted that electronic spamming is a low cost enterprise and all but the sheer volumes and the variety in these exhortations is beyond imagination. Having a desire to engage you in some sort of sexual payola or invest in some arcane crypto scheme must be a profound algorithm that someone from Oklahoma to Odessa is cranking on through the night and watching one in a few million fall for. Otherwise this nonsense would not exist I suspect. It would be funny to watch the lifecycle of some such persona that creates said content and that of a prospect for this invite becoming an unwilling or willing participant. Then that whole thing could go on some social channel and earn likes and subscriptions for someone else a

Lakeside frivolities

 We moved to the Charlotte area not knowing where exactly our new home would be. Turns out it was by a popular lake formed by the damming of the Catawba river which flows north to south in the Carolinas. Local electricity generation utility built a series of dams along the waterway for hydro and couple nuclear plants as well to supply the state grid.  The lake our house butts into is Lake Wylie. While tract home build has picked up in the Carolinas the developer often carves out parcels that they can get their hands on leaving behind privately owned lots that the individual owner may not want to sell. Our house is part of a subdivision but backs into actual lake front yardage that has always been part of legacy family owned properties who chose to build a cabin or getaway and did not sell to a corporation wanting to build in the hundreds. As such we can see the water through the year but it does not afford actual water access.  That privilege is to our neighbors who still maintain thei
