Ah, the joys of living at the bottom of a very slight hill at the first big rain of the season. Water up over the curb! #cawx

If any of my friends into #remoteviewing want to give it a shot, I've managed to misplace my puppy's vaccination records between my work desk and home (and that's without opening my backpack!). Maybe it apported out of there.

Anywho, I'm open to suggestions and clues.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

1975: Harlan Ellison visits Michael Moorcock in London. The Englishman sits Ellison in front of the TV when Dr Who comes on & insists Ellison “be quiet & just watch”. By the late 1970s,Ellison is such a fan of Dr Who that he’s taunting US scifi fans with declarations of its superiority over US fare.

Seems the perfect time to migrate and expand an old Twitter thread of mine about the greatest art heist of the twentieth century...

'INDIANA WHO: CRUSADE OF DEATH!' An adventure in art-theft starring Julian Glover... and Julian Glover.

I refuse to take "radical left" as an insult. They're calling us radical! We! Are! Rad!

I am about to start reading a 1973 novel (novella? 170ish pages...) that, up to now, most everyone believed the only copy was in the USAF academy library in Colorado!
If the name Donald Carpenter rings a bell in #ufology circles, this is one he wrote under Merlin Mesmer Merlino!
