Its been quite the week. You know I used to think human emotions were chemical in nature, but perhaps that's just era I grew up when every chemical that could be imagined was made by the likes of Dow and Dupont. Dupont used to have an ad slogan, "Better living through chemistry" which adopted by 60's and 70's hippies as a kind of slogan for every color of pill they'd take as they used their bodies as a pharmaceutical playground. In the steam age emotions were steam, "he blew his top".... "boy was she boiling!"... metaphors that somehow grip the times they were created in, and continue long after that fad of science or engineering has long gone. Our language is full of them.

I don't think emotions are chemical at all. I think they are magnetic.

Andreas and Thor of the SA warned there were huge magnetic changes taking place. The concern was navigation and electrical anomalies. Yesterday I went to Cedar Park just outside of Austin. I thought I'd renew my Costco membership card, expired three years ago. Its about a 30 mile drive from here. Right as I was about to get out of the car I got a phone call from an unknown number, they didn't say anything. Sheesh! I got to the door and the man who checks the card says "You can't come in here!" I said "What? Why not?". "We've got no power ...electricity is out! Its a security measure." They were clearing the story. Seemed like the entire city of Cedar Park had no electricity, and it was a really hot muggy day. Cops at each intersection directing traffic and non working traffic lights.
