Yay hippocampus!

So after I got my massage on Thursday night? I came home and fell/slid down two stairs, because Vlad bolted under my feet. The bruise on my rear is spectacular.

But! I had a good talk with my doctor about migraines and stuff, we have a plan, I go for skull & neck X-rays next week, and she gave me a gentle ass-kicking pep talk about taking care of myself, physically/mentally/emotionally as well as I take care of others.

Tell them to get good angles of your skull so you can frame them and hang them!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hee.

So my friend for whom I was searching "hipster" just suggested the uber-hipster tinned seafood place, so yeah.

The local Socialists met at the library today! I walked by and the room was almost all men, which I found interesting. The (small) room was very full - I estimate about 35 people.

Interesting, flea. Did you get a sense of the participants' ages? Was it all 60+ former hippies or 20 somethings who have no memory of McCarthyism and Red scares? Or was there a range?

Looked young overall. I found myself wondering if they've recruited the Bernie Bro contingent.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We went to the Newseum today.(Was Gary's first time there, and my second-though the first at the current location). We saw the "Louder than Words" exhibit about music and politics. Was good, though I think we could have spent a lot more time there.

I follow a page on Facebook for activities in my home county of Greene County in Pennsylvania, rural communities and small towns in the foothills of the Appalachians, making their livings from small farms, the dying coal industry, a gigantic federal prison, and the fracking industry (spit). What was posted today was coverage of a 4H group doing highway cleanup along one of the many two-lane roads that run between the towns and farms and villages. 38 bags of garbage, 4 syringes, and many auto parts.

4 syringes. From the weed-covered edges and gullies of a couple of miles of a small country highway. I knew that heroin was devastating rural areas, but I didn't know it was enough to generate at least four syringes thrown out of a car window. How much more must there be?
