Mushroom Magic
The weather this year is crazy. While they are having drought conditions in the western part of the US, here in the east it barely stops raining. Last Friday Chris and I went for a walk up the mountain, using the mountain bike trails, and we were treated to amazing visuals. The wet earth drew…

Lucid Dreamers
In today’s news I came across a post about lucid dreamers. There were two items that surprised me most in the article. The first was a comment: About 23% of people have a lucid dream once a month or more, according to a 2016 research paper published in the journal Consciousness and Cognition. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/lucid-dreamers-can-hear-and-answer-questions-while-still-asleep-scientists-find/ar-BB1dNIGb?ocid=uxbndlbing That…
