It has been a busy day. Woke at 2:30 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep. Listend to TV, napped, played with cat then finally decided at 5 a.m. to just get up. Washed, dried and put back on all bed linens, washed clothes, vacuumed, cleaned kitchen, distributed meds, folded laundry, paid bills. Plus.

Got so much done so early that I figured I had to take time to catch up.

Had a chance to read the news. Items of interest:

NASA has video of coronal hole the size of 50 earths! I love to run across "size" articles. There is an incredible video on youTube called Star Size Comparison HD which takes you from the size of the moon to the largest known star. That's a mental trip that melts your brain. I had to watch it multiple times to try try to comprehend the mind-boggling progression. If that trip doesn't fry you, try Size Comparison of the Universe 2015. This video takes you from the size of a string (as in string theory) and/or quantum foam to the universe itself. Boom. Splat. Sorry, brain overload.

Another astronomy item was: (Headline from British medium) Kepler Astronomers Scramble to Observe the "Bizarre" Light Pattern Due To Possible "Extraterrestrial Civilisation" Sounds whacky and obviously slanted to attract attention. But the real story is just as cool. Some articles have an interview explaining how many of proposed  (versus possible) explanations have been eliminated as possibilities. (Hence the discussion of possible alien influences.)

Think I have discovered that Buddy is a magical cat. (Maybe even the one from Alice in Wonderland. The Cheshire.) One of his magics is that he can teleport physically. I'm beginning to compile instances as examples. Last night, for instance, I noticed him on the floor napping peacefully when he suddenly started to twitch and make gentle pawing motions. I turned to my monitor and search engined whether cats dream (they do). I turned back to Buddy to further diagnose his condition, but he wasn't there. I was surprised: no sound, but no cat. Went back to original task for a few minutes when I noticed that Buddy had silently rematerialized, only now he was in his little carrier (he likes to sleep in it sometimes so it's on the floor with its door bungeed open).  I'm letting this incident serve as the launching pad for a serious study on the teleportation abilities of cats.
