Laptop in the .....

washroom, I'm typing on the porcelain throne.

My hero, Dirk Gently, styles himself as a holistic detective. Dirk believes in the 'interconnectedness of everything '. His famous line ' It may not have been where I was going but it was where I needed to be '.  Criminey , the story of my life.

To wit. I mentioned , singer - songwriter, Blossom Dearie. M was reading ' Stories from the Vinyl Cafe '. The ' Vinyl Cafe ' is a fictional record store and also a radio show and travelling production.
Dave the husband and record store owner talks about Blossom Dearie as one of his all-time favourites. Neat. Interconnectedness, comes through. Who woulda thunk, huh ?

In the news:  Days are getting longer and the ice is getting thinner.
we've past the solstice, so a little more daylight every day.
In the Arctic, the ice is dangerously thin. Air surveillance reveals the thinnest ice since they started keeping these air view recordings.
Goes back to 1977, not the last Ice age, of course.
you know this reportage really confirms my contention that although true, no  scientist let alone a lay person can truly understand the causal nature of such events.
Recall, the generic scientist brought us the atomic bomb, DDT and plastic. I'm not sure which was the worst, touche, mes amis !
Weather boy is dressed for cold plus brolley( as they say in England ). BTW. yesterday Wb had a snowman for company.
We have bright skies and little wind ( trees are not swaying ). Winter, but nice winter if you have gas and food and are not flooded out as in SW England or w/out electricity as in parts of Quebec.
