Daily Notes- November 20th- Sunshine. Chill.

So....sunshine outside but not in the darkness of my heart. I read the entire newspaper today.  UGH.

I also paid the one bill the Post Office....has delivered.  Junk mail arrives in abundance.  And that's how the Mail is being Sorted....... by Oh Joy.  Which reminds me to try and buy Christmas Stamps so I can mail cards so they arrive before New Year's Day.  We did receive a Thanksgiving card from our Bankers in a Timely Fashion as it must have been mistaken for Banking Mail..

Something happened to TiVo in the middle of my sports show and I couldn't watch anything.  I let the tv rest for awhile and then tried again.  Nope.  The regular (non TiVo) tv was working so there WAS tv.  It just was having trouble getting past Tivo.  Later I wiggled the connecting cords- didn't unplug as I KNOW THAT IS NEVER A GOOD MOVE......EVER .......and regular tv program resumed and I was VERY VERY Thankful.  And watched NOVA and then two holiday movies.

I watched the NOVA program on Black Holes yesterday.  As BEAUTIFUL as ever.  The Milky Way. Dark Matter and Einstein's Theory of Negative Matter.  Which is interesting in that Einstein didn't do very well at University with Mathematics.  It has been suggested that his wife sat in on his Math classes and took his exams. Yes, the same wife he said was "crazy".  It could be fiction--The Other Einstein is the book.  Not relevant as I am only commenting here on the visual beauty not the Math. Or the Physics.

Satellites are being created and sent out into the Cosmos.  Taking millions and millions of beautiful pictures of what is Unseen.  Unimagined.  Eventually our little solar system will be sucked into a black hole in a hydrogen fueled explosion. along with the entire Milky Way.  And everything we are or were or could have been...poof.

But while the ride lasts....we have these beautiful images of what's "out there".  I think I will request NOVA programs on Space, Planets and the Milky Way be shown in my last days and hours alive. I will write that in the Estate Planning Book.  Yes...that's an excellent plan.  But far into the Future.  Unless I get hit by a Bus.  And, Brunswick, where I live, has only one very slow moving senior citizen bus with maybe 12 seats. We're a One Bus Town.
