Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s always kinda weird to read a book and the day‘s date pops up. 😆 🎃

Re: the candy. We hope there are people who bring their kids around here. In our last place there weren‘t very many kids. But it‘s already nearly 6:30 here and no one yet. 😞

Go Dodgers. 😊

Good Monday morning. Game 7 of the 1960s World Series. Pirates v Yankees. And reading during the commercials. Last week was a rough one here, so I‘m hoping starting things right will help things along. 😊

Does the book count as scary if you read it at your 16yo‘s doctor appointment where their BP was high and the doctor says, “has anyone ever mentioned a heart murmur before?” after listening to his chest?

I think I impressed the staff with how calm I was. They have no idea that this is not my first rodeo and, in comparison to other Dx my other kids have had, it‘s pretty innocuous. 😆 Tests are OK so far, though. Still, I think it should count. 😜

The view from my back porch last night:

sunset and moonrise
view from the back porch — in awe
of nature‘s glory. 🌙

I hate to lose. And even worse than losing, I hate being stupid.

The seven days of the week are even named after the seven original planets. Sunday Mo(o)nday, and Satur(n)day are the most obvious, while Tuesday through Friday are more than a bit obscure. Tiw was an ancient Germanic god of war, as Mars was to the Romans, so Tuesday is actually Mars's day. Wednesday is Woden's day. Woden was the carrier of the dead--a Germanic grim reaper--fulfilling one of Mercury's less well-known jobs. (Continued in comments)

And it is no wonder that all of our basic units of time are based on the sky: A year traced the time it took for the sun to go all the way around the sky to reappear at the same location again, while a month (“moon-th“) is about the time it takes for the moon to circle the earth.

Took this picture on our walk yesterday. Nature can be so gorgeous and so violent--sometimes at the same time. Sort of like humans. I cannot see a god in this chaos as the administration further reeks havoc with P. 2025. Any god who approves of this current government is not a god I want any part of. Period.
Yet ... I do believe in rainbows. 🌈

I do not believe
in God because of rainbows.
Where's God in this mess?
