    I was relaxing and reading over this thread. I found it interesting that the world around me is $TRE$$ED and confused and I'm living my childhood dreams and enjoying my so called golden years.

    WHY most people choose to escape into a realm of fantasy and fiction is still something that I can't fully understand, but as time goes by and I gain a better understanding of this world and it's people and critters, I understand more.



    Don't matter if it's a fly on the wall, a cat, dog, other life forms or humans. Some are "smarter" then others.

    .....and we all try and believe that we are smarter then we actually are in fact.

    They covered that in psych 101 back in High School. Just basic stuff.

    It's called projection. More commonly seen in alcoholic personality disorder and those on the narcissistic personality spectrum. It's a psychological defense mechanism. We're all prone to it ... to one degree or another.

    Easy to recognize in others ..... not so easy to recognize in ourselves if we spend too much time alone and living in our head. It's easy to get lost in there.

    You have brought this subject up in the past.

    I can see very clearly how it explains the way you act with your replies toward me.

    I'm aware of how others TRY and understand me.

    I have NO peers as I've met no one that is as interested in the world and realm beyond their love/lust for fantasy and fiction.

    I understand you better then you do yourself.

    You have to view me as the unstable one as if I'm correct and you are incorrect that would destroy the world within your views and understanding.

    So as in the past with you and I it's time to talk about the weather and current events.

    It has been trying to sprinkle on my property, but the storm is just missing me as it seems to do a lot. When the storms hit, they hit good, but that happens far less then the storms missing my property. I can watch the weather on the computer and I check it often.

    As for current events. The telephone company was running fiber optic cable past me and they were crossing the road with the cable so I had a front roll seat to backhoes and workmen digging and feeding the cables to where they would connect them. They were busy mostly in one spot for about 2 hours.
