Teenage dream on Facebook.

I started a Facebook account to be able to access my club. Rejected first request to befriend.  Don't want friends. But second request was from a woman in Romania, a hairdresser?! Of course a woman I did not know, but this seemed such an unusual request that I accepted.  Have not accepted any other request since.
As I was telling this story to a group of people (of course excusing myself for not accepting..) I remembered that in fact my dream in my teenage years was to have a girlfriend who was a hairdresser or manicurist.  Well, at my age now I can have hairdresser  girlfriend only on Facebook. And of course would not accept any other friend to share our intimate circle.
Why was I dreaming of a hairdresser. Why not a blond, or a tall, or anything else? I believed then as I do now that hair dressers know all there is to know about life. (It was dream to understand life...HA!)  And they have these perfumed hands....

sailing on summer solstice

Don't remember the name of this book I read many years ago, but I remember the hero, a Chinese poet,  celebrating solstice by drinking and reading poems to the setting sun. Impressed me and since I have been trying to pay my respects to the sun on solstice day.  This year decided to sail. Splendid. Booked a sailboat for today. Turns out the solstice was yesterday.

Plague, cholera, holera

Cholera.  This is what scares me most, although it seems that contemporary medicine is relatively successful in treatment.  How do doctors get the diagnostic right? Since they probably never seen such cases how long does it take till they figure it out?.

Wisconsin

Despite the polls, was preapred to write Walker Walks. But he won decisively.  This is hard to swallow. But in reality these unions have gotten totally corrupt and corrupting. Unions in local government! But to cut their basic rights is not the proper way of combating corruption. Wisconsin had a reputation for citizen's involvement in civilized politics. Getting down the drain in a rancid smell of tea par..tisane.
