Just Another Manic Monday
So my new logarithmic sage didn’t come through for me today. I mean, my day was fine and all, but I expected a little extra something after my serendipitous encounter with the Starbomb Surprise.
Fortunately, on my walk home, I found that there was more wisdom to be had....
There’s a particular lamppost near where I work that seems to attract prophetic postings more often than its nearby kin.
Several months ago, for example, someone posted a large sign that declared ”KOFI: BUSH BEHIND BARS!” You know, just in case the Secretary General of the United Nations stumbled upon it while cruising down University Avenue. And just in case the US reversed decades of precedent and allowed the UN or the ICC to have full jurisdiction over our executive branch. As misplaced as it may be, you kinda have to admire the sheer degree of optimism that went into making a sign like that.
More recently, the lamppost was covered with signs warning of the eeeevils of CHEMTRAILS! I can’t stress enough just how intensely concerned someone in Berkeley is about chemtrails.
But those signs are long gone. Today, an unassuming flier asked a simple question:
Got Orgone Generators? -5
Okay, so perhaps it wasn’t that simple. For one thing, I hadn’t the foggiest idea what an “orgone generator” was. And the “-5” at the end was a touch surreal.
Under the headline sat two photos. The photo on the left had a series of oddly shaped cones and muffins on some sort of grid. The other photo was a picture of the sky (remarkably chemtrail-free!) And the photos were clearly related because, well....
I remained perplexed.
Finally, a few short sentences were all I had left to unravel this mystery:
Ionizing, ambiance enhancing, good energy boosting, subtle yet effective, there [sic] really all that , and much more. Bluer skies where you have them in your yard.... They work. Lots of energy for everyone...sleep better at night.
Energy, better sleep, bluer skies. What’s not to love?
Well, I don’t know yet if memorizing logarithms or surrounding myself with ambiance enhancing wondermuffins will finally bring my life into balance. But I did learn one thing from today....
I need to walk to work more often.
