island life

It has been raining now for days. As a result of the rain and mercury going retrograde, my house of the spirits cut off communication with the outside world. The internet and phone have been off for two days. This is the first post out. We've been an island.

Tonight it looks like the storm is passing. There were small cyclones down in South San Francisco and a water funnel appeared up the coast. If a frog is in a pot where the water is steadily heated until boiling, it will not know the point to jump out, and will die. Like the frog, we are steadily getting accustomed to stranger and stranger conditions. Frogs jump out of hot water if thrown in, knowing the right action for survival. If we were thrown into this time period from ten years back, would our actions be different?

The phone rang a few minutes ago, I'm hooked back into the web and the net. No longer an island, I join the mainland.
