Graphic VIDEO here

This Woman was minding her own business and was stabbed in the neck 3 times. She bled to death.

Tha assailant reportedly said “Got that white girl” as he walked away. Helluva motive for murder.

Well established criminal.

I did not ever imagine such evil could exist in this world. I’m very unsettled by this.

Yesterday and today have been good mornings. I’ve walked the dog, run a little swam a little and did a little yoga.. Pre dawn has been beautiful with flat flat flat calm sea, and light from an almost full moon.

I’ve lived in the Cayman Islands almost 30 years, and I’m still grateful to be here every day.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Alas, woe is me! Another Monday! I think we got shorted a day this weekend.

Friday I went to a memorial for an old friend, Graham. A long standing member of our recovery community

Saturday was a housecleaning day and Saturday evening I had a small group of friends come over for filet mignon and thick tuna steaks on the grill

Sunday was beach yoga and laundry and cleanup from the party.

And now it’s back to work! Have a great week!

You gotta see this video. Japan’s new 310 mile an hour train.

Dont blink or you’ll miss it!

Happy Friday! Have a good weekend!

I finished the older classic by Ray Bradbury Fahrenheit 451. It was quite good. Dystopian. (That’s a word I learned from Goodreads).

in this book, our future, the firemen don’t put out fires the fire hoses squirt kerosene and they burn the houses down when they find books inside the houses books are illegal. Our main character, a fireman named Montag, switches to the other side after he meets a woman who opens his eyes when he’s walking to work and apparently has been stashing books all the time. And then……

it is quite a good book, the only thing wrong with it is that it ended too soon.. I especially like the picture on the cover, the book / pack of matches. Quite clever!

Have a great day!

I always thought that a Friends Quest on Duolingo was where you added friends. So now I have 999 friends on Duolingo and can’t add anymore.

Recently found out that a friend’s Quest is when you and a friend work together to complete 20 lessons.

Normally I don’t care, I do my one lesson a day and maintain my streak. But I happen to know that Christy works at the local hardware store. She’s the one who told me what her friends Quest is. So now it’s one chance and 999 that we are paired up in a friend’s quest, but I don’t want her to have to do all the work. So I’m going to try to do at least 10 lessons in the next 4 days..

Have a great day!

A Samsung Galaxy S24.. Want, not need. Want = obsessed with.

Maybe if I bought a new case for my S23, that would cure the obsession had a fraction of the cost.

Here are some Sunrise photos from this morning.

Happy Tuesday !

That I could wake up feeling better than I did when I went to bed..

Sometimes?

Just once?

I think I woke up screaming last night. Not screaming scream, but Aaaaaahhhhh!. I woke myself up. Sleeping to me is horrible, full of nightmares and negativity. I always wake up feeling like crap. I need my morning yoga and meditation just to pull myself together enough to make it out the door. I don’t know what I did before yoga and meditation.

Then I get home from work exhausted, stay awake until I’m not tired anymore, then go to bed. Insane

Happy September 1st!

I knew I went to bed a little earlier than usual yesterday, I wasn’t surprised that I woke up earlier than usual. But I felt like I was awake for hours, then fell asleep right before the alarm went off.

That seems like a nightly occurance. I’m asleep, but aware, and I think in my sleep that I’m awake. Then the alarm goes off and only then do I realize I was asleep.

But it’s not very restful.

Happy Friday ! I’m expecting my new sunglasses any minute now!

I want to start a Y12SR Meeting here in the Cayman Islands. I’m pretty ready, I’m looking for a place to have it and a name for the group. Below is a list I’ve made, felt really too happy with any of them.

Some of those above are just downright embarrassing, the list is a result of brainstorming ya know… Good ideas and bad., Somehow, I feel like I’m not even in the ballpark yet.

Yny Ideas?

Have a great day!
