Between Here and There
Saturday the 5th - Dream one in which I am having an extended conversation with a Dave Garrett or a Dave Barrett and he tells me to be sure to remember that he died at 9:22. Okay, dude! Look, I even wrote it down.
Dream two in which I am looking at a model of a spaceship - done as a needle and a droplet of water, to illustrate the state of the ship as it passes from one universe to the next. I am perplexed that within the droplet I can see a ring of needles like a refraction inside the medium, when suddenly my POV changes, and I see that the ring of needles at an angle isn't a visual artifact, like a set of mirrors might provide, but that
1. the ship and the universes are stable in transition and
2. the needle really does proliferate in a circular pattern in the new medium.
It had not occurred to me that the two aspects could be simultaneously true for an object half and half out of both.
SO, yeah, wtf. I have no idea what that is about. I wanted it to be sexual, since I deserve a good sex dream, darnit, but nope. Needles, c'mon! Gotta be able to get some kind of sexual symbolism out of .. nope. Rats.

Went to the Maryland State Ag Fair and watched cows watch us. Scritched a piglet's head. Peeps peeping. Ducklings quacking. Rabbits stretched out panting in the heat. Ate ice cream.
Saw the Clydesdales in their stalls - dang those things are monstrous! D petted some equine noses, and one mare named Princess Something decided either he smelled good, was deliciously salty, or that he had food secreted about his person and if she lipped him enough he would give it over. (Goats feel the same way about him, I note, and would eat the shirt right off him if they could.) The mare didn't seem to want to eat the shirt, per se, but she definitely was exploring it, and licking his arm. Most impressive sight at the fair was the Clydesdale who let down his wedding tackle for us, and it was dappled in color like the rest of him. Do you ever get blase about the sight of a horse penis? It was freaky.
It was blazingly hot at the fair grounds, so we left after about 3 hours, before the chicken display. I enjoy "talking" to the chickens.
