Out of the Blue

Hamm, overslept today in spite of falling off early last night. Not sure what's up with that, it's not like I feel sick or overtired or anything. Oh well, it could have been worse; I could have been awakened by the G-Man, but I wasn't. At least I don't think I was.

I don't really see how this is anything new. As a young grad student in the Mojave there were several documented case where the sands just made people "disappear". In fact a colleague's wife just vanished one morning. She just walk off by herself and was never seen again. Tragically weird.

None of you understand! You are so blind!!!!! "She just walk off by herself and was never seen again." "Disappearances" Comeon people! There are alien abductions. Not magical sand or anything like that. Get with it! Open your eyes.

/tin foil hat off.

I digress.
