I think my allelles are a little short. I just read that short allelles make you enjoy life less. Also, there some kind of interesting news today that the governor of the state of California is getting a recall election. Which is sort of interesting, but on the other hand, I can't help but think he is any less venal, pompous and corrupt than any other politician, so whether Davis gets thrown out or not probably won't matter. Plus there was such a grab with both hands for the energy money its hard to cheer for either side. For the first time since I started writing this, I went back and read my last few entries. I was struck by the fact that I keep repeated the same points over and over, with a focus on the weather, which I think is boring. So henceforth, barring anything like an earthquake, I won't mention the heat or lack of it anymore. Plus I have been set straight by certain people that Pasedena, where I was, is hotter by ten degrees than the rest of LA. I guess it does bear mention that the farm was in the news, because a tornado came through with 157 mile an hour winds that tore a half mile wide swath through rt. 32 in Catskill and ended right at the hotel, Friar Tuck Inn. It is sort of weird to read about places you know getting destroyed by natural disasters, but hopefully by talking about it and not being superstitious I won't be in the headlines here any time soon with an earthquake. God forbid. There was just, as they reported on the news the other night, a little rumbler here. But I guess I can't worry about that, especially when I have other things to worry about like skin cancer and trans fatty acids. The main thing I'm worried about these days is if I never get a night's sleep, will I go insane or die? because I can't seem to sleep through the night and it's starting to make me crazier all the time. Perhaps there is a simple solution to this, but I don't know what it is.
