It seems to me that almost all my dreams these days are lucid dreams. The reason for suggesting that is the fact that I always know I’m dreaming, and nothing surprises me while I’m in the dream.
Last night, I was a member of the crew of a rocket that should have launched with about a hundred passengers. It was obvious, early on, that this rocket was not going to launch and instead may have to be aborted. There were five of us as the crew, and we prepared for the rocket to explode. Then we realized that it might not blow up, followed by concerns that it might anyway. (Sounds like the plot of a movie, eh?)
In the middle of the dream, I woke up, checked the bedside clock and then returned to the scene of the drama. The passengers started filing out of the rocket. Someone had opened the escape door. Within minutes, only the crew remained. We looked at each other and I said, “Well, that was a close one.”
Oh, and the time on the bedside (digital) clock? 5:55 am.
I’ve noticed lately that there are more and more “AI-enhanced” YouTube videos circulating. The giveaway to me is the hand gestures. The lip-synching is almost perfect, but the hands don’t gesture naturally. And, if you look at the background traffic passing a window, as one video portrayed, it was obvious that the vehicles were on a loop of some sort. So, even Kamala Harris is being ‘deep-faked’.
I challenge you to even find that video now, and yet it was published only a couple of weeks ago. But, just to show you what an AI-enhanced video looks like, check this one out, featuring Rachel Maddow:
I think what’s happening is that the audio comes from podcast recordings and some outlets have added visuals. But that’s concerning, because it implies that these are not ‘real’ in the normal sense of the word.
If you look at the details below the video, you will see a clue:
How this was made
Altered or synthetic content
Sound or visuals were significantly edited or digitally generated.
Who, or what, can we really trust, anymore? Be aware, folks.
I have been reluctant to ascribe this date to the end of a very dramatic six month period in 2026. But with recent ICE actions in Minneapolis, and the public outcry over shootings of alleged “domestic terrorists”, the Easter 2026 prophecy of the Lady in White in Chris Bledsoe‘s UFO encounter of 2012 seems to be coming true.
Astrologically, though, the timing doesn’t work for me, but I’ll let you see the event chart, so you can decide for yourself.
Admittedly, ‘something’ is happening on that day, especially with the double Yods pointing at the Mercury/Venus conjunction, formed from inconjuncts to Saturn and Uranus. Hmm. We’ll see.
I’d never heard of this miscarriage of justice before yesterday, when Ellie Burck posted a video on YouTube discussing this cold case.
Honestly, how could her death ever have been deemed a suicide? The knife wounds in the back of her neck would have been impossible to do to herself. I suggested to Ellie that splitting the difference between the time she was last seen (timestamped) and when she was pronounced dead (by a doctor) might yield some interesting insights.
That Sun/Mars (blow to the head) conjunction in the 7th House (open enemies) of her fatal chart is interesting. What I wasn’t expecting was the echo in her birth chart (conjunct her North Node) in Gemini, as seen through the lens of her fatal chart’s 12th House. Had she been murdered before, in a past life? Was she afraid it might happen again, thereby unconsciously pushing someone else’s buttons?
The fiancé is the most likely killer. But he’s not helping the reopened investigation. It’s not hard to work out why. Maybe, I should look at his birth chart, too, just to see the dynamic between them. However, his birth details are missing. Sam Goldberg was quoted in the article in People Magazine:
However, Ellen’s fiancé, Sam Goldberg, who found her deceased in the kitchen of their shared apartment after telling investigators that he initially found the door locked, told CNN in an e-mail statement that he believes that her death was a result of “mental illness.”
“When Ellen took her own life it left me bewildered,” Sam told the outlet. “She was a wonderful and a kind person who had everything to live for. When she died a part of me died with her.”
“Unimaginably, in the years that have passed I have had to endure the unimaginable passing of my future wife and the pathetic and despicable attempts to desecrate my reputation and her privacy by creating a narrative that embraces lies, distortions and falsehoods in order to avoid the truth,” he continued. “Mental illness is very real and has many victims.”
“I hope and pray that you never lose someone you love like I did to a terrible disease and then be accused by ignorant and misinformed people of causing her death. If you’re really writing a truthful story, dig deeper, and please do some good by raising awareness for mental health,” Sam concluded.
So, the question is: who exactly was suffering from “mental illness”, Ellen or Sam? I wonder.
In the first season of this story, Ephram and Andy butt heads almost all the time. Ephram, being just 15 years old, is missing his mom, who died in a traffic accident. Before her death, Ephram witnessed his parents fighting. He presumed that his father had been having an affair. Andy finally shared the secret that his son never knew: his mother was the one having an affair.
On the day his wife died, Andy had booked into a local NY hotel, in order to take a breather from the fighting. His cover story was that he had a conference in Boston. Ephram tried tracking Andy down, and when he couldn’t his suspicions were raised.
There are always two sides to every story. The truth is usually what is hidden, to protect the innocent.
Our Toyota Corolla is 7.5 years old. For seven of those years, she has had a sheltered garage to sit out winter storms and deep freezes. This winter is the first that she’s braved the outdoors. In the last two weeks, her engine has frozen three times so much that the battery wouldn’t turn it over. Yesterday morning, the battery completely died. This morning the CAA came to give our dead battery a boost. Luckily, it worked.
Just in case, we’ve purchased a brand new battery, which will be installed today. We are also considering a block heater for the engine, just in case. Hopefully, this will renew Ruby for another five years.
At the moment, the CHCH reruns are featuring 1975 of this program. We’ve been through three episodes of Archie going missing (while Carrol O’Connor had a contract dispute with Norman Lear), we saw The Jeffersons ‘movin’ on up to the East Side, and we saw a rare moment of tenderness between Archie and Edith (last night) after a couple they know discussed splitting up. It’s hard to precisely judge the effect of this show on Americans. As a Canadian, newly married with a child, it seemed preposterous. How could someone be that prejudiced?. Then, you just need to really listen to the opening theme song, “Those Were the Days” to begin to understand Archie’s motivations.
Boy the way Glen Miller played, Songs that made the hit parade, Guys like us we had it made, Those were the days, And you know who you were then, Girls were girls and men were men, Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again, Didn’t need no welfare state Everybody pulled his weight, Gee our old Lasalle ran great, Those were the days
Looking back from the perspective of 2026, even I can be nostalgic for the mid-70’s. (We never had it so good.) But if you were suddenly thrust back into that time, like Sam Tyler in “Life on Mars” you would really understand how awful life was, then. That’s why “All in the Family” is a useful time capsule.
The years it was aired gives a clue. I was still living in England during these years. We’re starting to view all 89 episodes on Netflix. It’ll take a few days.
The pilot episode was filmed in Calgary and Canmore, Alberta. Thereafter, it was filmed in Colorado and Utah. We’ve only seen four episodes, so far. I suspect we’ll watch until the very end.
For the third time in two weeks, our satellite TV lost its signal. When I called Bell the first time, they decided to send me a new Smart Card for the receiver. Really? After a day, the TV stations appeared again, but I didn’t make the connection between the effects of snow and the loss of signal.
The Smart Card was exchanged, and the switch was completed by Bell via telephone. The TV stations were still missing, so we went through the way to redirect the satellite dish. About an hour later, everything was back to normal. That is, until two nights ago, when the signal was lost again. The penny finally dropped: SNOW!
I cleaned the snow off the dish, and then I repeated what I’d been shown late last week. It worked.
We got our channels back just in time to watch the episode of “All in the Family” where “The Jeffersons” started its own nine season run as a spin-off. It was the episode where they were “moving’ on up” to the East Side (the show’s theme song). The year was 1975. Fifty years ago.
