About a week ago I had a doctor’s appointment but before going in to see the doctor I saw a woman approximately seventy years old get hit by a sports utility vehicle. She flew up on the hood and hit the windshield before rolling off and hitting the pavement.
Three months ago I went for a walk early one evening, and I was almost hit head on by a man driving a pickup truck. Apparently he was too impatient to wait in the line of traffic so he pulled the wheel right and sped up in the shoulder. When I became visible in his headlights he pulled the wheel back left and smashed into the car driving next to him. I’m lucky. That was five minutes after I left my house.
Sometimes people are so caught up in their personal issues they forget to see the bigger picture. Life is short. Don’t forget to say goodbye or I love you or whatever else it is you think you’re too busy to say.

Rumors Spread…The Cornfield Corn Stalkers
This Saturday September 22nd at precisely 9:54 PM, the autumn equinox will occur marking the starting point and seasonal change from to fall/autumn.
When we think about this time of year things like harvesting, Halloween, back to school, or even the start of football season may come to mind, but there’s something stranger going on as that beautiful autumn sun transitions from Virgo to Libra.
You probably aren’t aware of it, but there’s an old myth about those creepy cornfields here in Pennsylvania. Legend has it that people have been obtaining corn-colored hair and exceptional telepathic mental abilities by properly transferring a rare power into their bodies from earth dirt in the cornfields.
On the ritual side of this, these people arrive twenty-four hours prior to the precise time of the equinox, and dig a hole deep enough so that they’re standing in it calves deep. Basically, they plant themselves for twenty-four hours.
So, if you’re out and about Saturday night at 9:54 you may witness strange beings clawing their way out of the cornfields. Human? Perhaps. Alien? Possibly. No one really knows what this old myth will produce. We shall see.
Sacred Geometry Gets Revisited
The Fibonacci is female, and the binary sequence is male. The Fibonacci sequence is obtained by adding two consecutive numbers to get the next number. 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89, etc. The binary sequence doubles each time, such as from 1 to 2 to 4 to 8 to 16 to 32, etc., doubling with each jump. Instead of adding to the last number like we do in the Fibonacci sequence, we double it.
Pitt Lost by 3!
After getting smacked up at home last week by the Nittany Lions, the Panthers had a good chance to come back this week and steal a victory against a decent North Carolina team.
At the end of the first quarter the game was tied at 7, and at halftime, Pitt led 28-21. Unfortunately, North Carolina exploded in the third quarter scoring 17 points, and then another 7 in the fourth. The result was a 38-35 Tarheel victory. Whats up Pitt?
