"I want you to build an ark!"

Threw out 5" in the rain gauge Tuesday afternoon, and 4.4" Weds night. There is a small pond next to the house, and the force of rain coming down in NW pushed water under the garage door of the new house. Fortunately, Whit had insisted on putting up shelves, and most of the boxes were already up--

Zzzzzzz asleep standing up--very tired, much packed, a few more to go....

ZZzzzzz

*********

I was so tired, between packing and an exhaustive Pfrimmer session, that I forgot to take my LBb pills, forgot to soak in an apple cider vinegar bath (2 c. cider apple vinegar per bathtub, excellent for soaking out aches. Or use 2 c. Epson salts, if you hate the smell--similar effect.) At any rate, I woke at 5:45 am, got up and found my old lease from the duplex to use as a model for J and E taking over Lear House, and then soaked myself for 15 minutes. A little better, but if I'd remembered last night, I wouldn't ache this AM.

Another day of packing, many errands run while brain was working--the doctor told me to stop taking the Cat's Claw for a week, just to see if it's irritating my hands more than helping them.

Waltz and Bolero tonight--brain shut off 45 minutes into Bolero, but got some good Waltz info if I can remember it.

Reading Philadelphia in the AM....

After the Oil Runs Out

After the Oil Runs Out

By James Jordan and James R. Powell Sunday, June 6, 2004; Page B07

If you're wondering about the direction of gasoline prices over the long term, forget for a moment about OPEC quotas and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and consider instead the matter of Hubbert's Peak. That's not a place, it's a concept developed a half-century ago by a geologist named M. King Hubbert, and it explains a lot about what's going on today at the gas pump. Hubbert argued that at a certain point oil production peaks, and thereafter it steadily declines regardless of demand. In 1956 he predicted that U.S. oil production would peak about 1970 and decline thereafter.

Skeptics scoffed, but he was right.

Still that right-brained girl--but narrowing!

I used to register right-brained by an overwhelming margin--something like 2-1....

Are You Right or Left Brained?
personality tests by similarminds.com

Left brain dominant individuals are more literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.

Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.

Overall you appear to be Right Brain Dominant

The ideal is to develop both your left and right brain. Many people identify their personality with being more right or left brained. "I am just not verbal" or "I just don't like art". The right and left brain are just functions to be utilized, they are not who you are. You are the manager, coach, architect, developer of your functions. No matter how developed one side of your mind is, if you have deficiencies in the other you will be functionally crippled. Right brain deficiencies inhibit your comprehension of life - who you are, where you stand, what's the point. Left brain deficiencies will inhibit your ability to express yourself verbally to others, leaving you mute to the world.
