Michael's Fáilte

Welcome to these writing warmups, blatherings, rantings, meditations, perorations, salutations, latest and those on time, those narrative, declarative, interrogative, gollywogative and other outdated, belated, simulated musings, perusings, shavings and other close calls, with no disrespect intended, that's why no real names included whenever impossible to avoid the guilt that came in the crib for uttering something that would hurt or injure those in authority, being of everlasting servitude to all and sundry, having chosen the road not taken and the frost on the pumpkin long before the kettle turned black or the cat found its own tail fascinating,
Your humble servant, etc.

This morning

This morning the waves are weaker than yesterday which is curious when you consider how the moon is waxing and perhaps even more telling, the entire population of the northern hemisphere is breathing out at regular intervals and you have to admit that is a gravitational force to reckon with. Personally I don't subscribe to the theory I saw written on a student locker at the U of W back in the late 60s, that there is no gravity, the earth sucks—but it did give me pause for thought. I mean if all the cow farts in the known world can add up to an overwhelming toxic accumulation of methane in the atmosphere around our planet, who will stand up and denigrate the theory of the effect of mass breathing on gravity? Not to mention the effect of fogging up the glasses of all who are wearing them—a spectacle indeed!

Where was I? This morning the waves are weaker but you know I can only speak for myself really and I have been eating more of everything of late, just to keep my feet on the ground—a sure sign I'm an air sign in great danger of getting sucked into a lunar gravitational pull at any moment.
