Shake rattle and roll

bjornwildeSo tonight I had a vivid reminder of an old Robin Williams stand up moment...
He was talking about how he was in the "washroom" mid- "thought" when an earthquake hit...His thoughts were"Dear God don't let them find me like this!"
Anyway, a few minutes ago an earthquake hit...I was...ummm...indesposed...and I was kinda sitting there waiting to see if it would get worse or not. Didn't have that moment of "Dear God don't let them find me like this."
This is wierd but earth quakes have always been fun for me...I love them...well as long as nothing bad happens...Its more like they intrigue me...I'm just sick that way.
So it was a new earth quake for me....A fluid shake rattle and roll as it were...no damamge, don't worry Hunny, not one glass broken, but there is another chip or two flaking of the ceiling...
Still kinda cool.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I love blusterous days and cold evenings...not so much because of the days or the temperate...but because of the nights they make...Clear and crystal...Venus was a becon tonight. But what was really cool was that while I was out there looking at venus a family of folks from down the street came by...The neighbors with the old golden lab...and they were looking at the sky too!
Turns out the father worked on several satelites and he took his family out to watch one of them pass by tonight...and he gave me a print out of what he was looking for with a URL! Flash backs of my Father taking me out to go look at the moons of Jupiter. = ]
--------------------------------------------------------------
I've had thoughts in my head again lately...I know dangerous occupations...But I was thiking, the theories about when childhood ends, at least the ones I know off, is either when you know you are going to die or when you lose your innocence. Well that's my exposure to pop culture talking...But I beg to differ...I think it is when we are no longer able to believe in the things we wish to believe in. When we have to struggle to believe in what we "know" is true and what doesn't fit into to group belief.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I've tried to explain my fascination to watching the stars to Zoe...I know she understands my fascination, but I have never really felt like I got the feelings across...I think I figured it out tonight...I look up at the stars and the pictures from Hubble and every other space input I can feast on because that is the only sense of wonder I don't have to work at...Every time I look up, I see wonder. I believe without having to try.
