Ffolkes,
Today’s effort will be a short one, but only for what I consider an acceptable reason for slacking. Sometime during the night, I started to get extremely dizzy, almost nauseous, whenever I rolled over; the dizziness continued until I opened my eyes and fixed on a still object. The way it progressed, and noting that I had consumed nothing before bed liable to bring this on, it seems obvious that I am having some sort of disturbance in my middle ear, the seat of our sense of balance, and I’m reacting very strongly to even slight head movements, unless I move very slowly. It’s rather uncomfortable, so I suppose I’ll have to break down and go see a doctor today, so he or she can figure out what is up. Not my preferred way to spend a Sunday, but what’re yagonnado? Hey, maybe they’ll keep me in hospital for a day to observe; I’ll get to watch TV for a while, something I can’t do here at home, being unAmerican and not owning one. Maybe even get to see a football game; here it is week nine of the season, and I haven’t caught a single game. So much for vicarious living!
Anywho, what with the nausea and dizziness, typing is getting a bit problematic, so I’ll just end this here, and count on a very strong group of Pearls to carry the day….. enjoy!…..

Ill fares the land
To hastening ills a prey
When wealth accumulates
But men decay.

“You live and learn. Or you don’t live long.” — Lazarus Long
Oh stay! oh stay!
Joy so seldom weaves a chain
Like this to-night, that oh ‘t is pain
To break its links so soon.

“Bow to no patron’s insolence. Rely on no frail hopes; in freedom live and die.” — Seneca

“Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on “I am not too sure.” — H.L. Mencken
Doubting Thomas strikes again! All hail the dubious among us, for they have the right of it, and suffer less. And if not, they know how to shuffle and dance until sanity returns…… y’all take care out there…..
Sometimes I sits and thinks,
and sometimes
I just sits.
