I have been having internet problems tonight. My cable modem keeps going offline, though it does eventually come back. I assume it has something to do with the high winds we had yesterday, though they have calmed tonight.
Larry King is doing an alien show tonight "Are aliens a threat?" Not sure who the guests are yet, so you may have to tune in to find out. Although, if anyone emails me about being on or knowing who will be on, I will post that info later today.

You Are a Basic T-shirt |
 You are a very humble, low maintenance person. You find contentment easily. You are easy-going and very social. You like being around other people more than anything else. Some may accuse you of being lazy, but you just don't work any harder than you need to. You are happiest when things are kept casual. You think formality is a lot of unnecessary fuss. |

You Are an Angel of Death |
 You tend to have a dark sense of humor, but you are not as morbid as some people would expect. You are bold and courageous. You're willing to do what others won't do... and to face what others won't face. You are very observant and wise. You have amazing insight into other people's lives, but they are also scared of what you know. You are eccentric, extremely quirky, and a bit of a loner. You have unusual interests that others don't share. |

Aliens and Coyotes
Judging by all the related posts it seems to be Stephen Hawking day here at TDF. That is what happens when MSM reports an alien related story, it is suddenly important because they reported on it. And it is important in a certain way because to people that aren't obsessed freaks like us (or like me anyhow) -- all they hear or know about aliens and ufos may come from the MSM.
Just as I was writing this a pack of coyotes were out behind the house howling at Pooka, who is out in the yard. I know they can't get in the yard and she can't get out and I have seen Pooka when she is loose chase a whole pack away, but I still turn on the big yard light to scare them away. When Pooka is in - I don't mind them howling. When she is out - I do. I feel like they are talking smack to her. :-) One of them was really weird sounding, not like the typical coyote. He seemed to be the leader and started howling first and then later the others joined in. Pooka barks at them, but I can tell by her bark that she isn't really concerned. She is way bigger and chased packs like that up into the mountains for years before we put up the fence. Of course, I worried each and every time, which is why we now have a fence, but she always came home without a scratch on her.

 You are a very visual and creative person. You couldn't stop making beautiful things, even if you tried. You are constantly inspired and driven to create. It would drive you crazy to follow too many rules at work. You have to do things your own way. If you're given room to be yourself, you come up with amazing things. You never stop making art, so you might as well get paid for doing something you love! |

Tooth Stuff
I am less one wisdom tooth! The actual pulling wasn't too bad and it does still hurt, but far less than the pain before it was pulled that went all the way up into my head. Still since it was a hard day I did the quick blog update with no graphics. I am actually more tired than in pain, so I am off to sleep.

Aliens and Stuff
For some reason the news peeps are going crazy over that Stephen Hawking story. I guess it is because he said aliens probably do exist, but then made it sound that they would have no reason to explore and visit earth -- except to conquer it. Anyhow, I do have some other comments about that at UFO Mystic. After all, can't miss out on the big media alien story.
I did a bit of work on a new website today. It is all Regan's fault because she started a new typepad blog - Cafe Esoterica, for her podcast. That made me long for something webbie to do. I have already played with typepad, so I thought it was time to come up with a new website with a blog. I hate to admit it, but I am using click and build because I don't want to spend that much time on it, but I may get really into it and use real software. One of the reasons I am not is that I only have iWeb software on this computer, which I have played around some with and didn't really like. Anyhow, it is called Menagerie of Mystery. Still working on it and tossing around ideas about it, not yet ready for prime time yet.
I do finally have my dentist appointment today! Please send me your good vibes and hopefully it won't be too bad. Thanks!

Your Spring Sense is Touch |
 You're usually the first to notice when it changes over to spring. There's something about the air that just feels different. You are very perceptive and you tend to be in tune with all of your senses. At times, it feels like you have a "sixth sense." You like to lie back and experience spring to the fullest. Just feeling the newly warm sun on your skin makes you feel relaxed. There's nothing like that first warm day to lift your spirits. Spring is the most optimistic time of the year! |

Ha! I Knew It: Skeptics Infiltrate McMinnville UFO Fest
I love this! That they actually admit to "monitoring the festival." Obviously, skeptics care a lot more about those in Ufology and what we are doing than we do about them. I can't imagine going to a skeptics conference for any reason. To me, it would be one of the most boring events on earth. I would rather stay home and trim my toenails.

You Are a Açaà Berry |
 On the one hand, you tend to be very controversial. People are always talking about you and trying to figure you out. On the other hand, you are quite wholesome and humble. You don't know what all of the fuss is about. You are unsettled in your life. You're not sure what you want yet, and you're a bit of a searcher. If there's one thing you know, it's that you crave adventure and travels. You want to see as much of the world as you can. |

Every once in a while I go through the links referring to this site to see if there are any new and interesting blogs linking, tonight I found Authentic UFO's. I didn't get to read through the entire blog, but it looked like there was some pretty interesting stuff there. I will be following it and adding any future cool posts to the news flow here.
Still suffering with the tooth and therefore not doing much of anything. I have never looked so forward to a dentist appointment as I am the one on Monday. I have a fever too, which I hope is related to the tooth and not some other ailment. According to my google search it is normal to have a fever with a gum infection - so maybe it isn't my tooth and is really my gum? Not sure if that would be better or worse. I have never had a gum infection before.
The one good thing about my tooth/gum problem is that it doesn't keep me from sleeping. Actually the opposite. For the first time in years I lay down and fall right to sleep and I sleep for like 10 hours! I have had some odd dreams too! A couple of nights ago I had a dream about two UFOs, one saucer and one shaped more like a barbell and they were doing some sort of weird mating ritual dance in the sky. Well, at least that is what it seemed to me, in the dream, that they were doing. Thinking about the dream later, I kinda of wondered why I came to that conclusion in the dream, except that it was kind of like that, but sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. :-)
OK, I will get some sleep now and see what sort of weird dreams pop up tonight.

 It's not easy to stretch your brain, but who ever said that life was going to be easy? You work hard to learn more and challenge yourself. You find thinking hard to be fun! You enjoy long term projects and complicated problems. You are good at wrapping your mind around complex problems. People tend to be jealous of your big brain, but they don't see how much work you put into being smart. |

Tequila and Grey Matters
Damn tooth is still really bad. Not that there is any reason it should have magically healed since I couldn't get a dentist appointment until Monday. It seems to be my wisdom tooth. I guess that is why they tell you to pull them when they first come in because eventually they will have to be pulled anyhow, but I had no money for such things back when they came in and I still have all 4 of them. Joy! Two of them have never broke the surface, they are hiding there beneath the gum and just waiting for their chance to make my life really miserable because I suppose they would have to dig to get at those. Anyhow, just telling you all that to whine a bit and also in case I disappear for a few days -- you will know that it is simply that I feel too crappy or possibly am too drunk to update this blog. Right now I am experimenting with swishing tequila around back there, but it only helps for a few seconds so I will either have to drink a lot of tequila or take a bunch of Advil and try to sleep. Probably the latter.
Also, I have a new Grey Matters posted at Binnall of America about old (or vintage, if you prefer) UFO episodes from TV, mostly the I Dream of Jeannie one.

Just one last reminder to tune in for the Ancient Aliens premiere on The History Channel tonight. I personally feel that the History Channel has done a horrible job on PR for this show. If not for Giorgio Tsoukalos I wouldn't even know about this show. I don't watch THC all the time, but I watch Pawn Stars, American Pickers and normally catch a few other shows every week and I haven't seen one ad for Ancient Aliens.
Maybe I am just grumpy because I have had a toothache for the last several days and the soonest opening the dentist had is for next Monday. I think it is a wisdom tooth that I should have had pulled many years ago, but I am a chicken when it comes to things like that. Yes, I have some percocet, but honestly I don't know what people see in it - does nothing for me except make me feel dizzy. Advil and wine actually seems to work better for the pain. I thought about staying drunk until next Monday but eventually decided against it.
I haven't even done a write up for LOWFI on our UFO meeting last Saturday. Norio's mini concert was pretty awesome! We also ended up with 57 people attending and it was crazy because the community center people had to keep bringing out more chairs for us. I think on average we normally have around 30 people (probably a bit less) so it was almost double normal. Seriously, lots of fun -- I totally forgot about my tooth during the meeting and lunch after.
Well, I will quit babbling for now.

Altruism and Apple Pie
Former MUFON director, James Carrion, writes:
Damn Joe Capp! He is soft on crime again! Someone throw him out of his posh office! Yes, posh! Because we all know that Ufologists are some of the richest people on earth, that is why everyone is trying to lie their way in with their stories of seeing strange objects in the sky ~eyes rolling~ and why those people must be treated with an iron fist. We must keep all the riches and glory among those that deserve it.

Maybe Joe should volunteer his counseling skills at the local NYPD precinct and see how welcome his soft skills would be on the police beat where everyone is innocent until proven guilty or at least caught in the act.Really? Are we to treat possible UFO witnesses in the same way possible felons are treated? What exactly is the connection between police investigation of CRIME and Ufology? I suppose the world isn't big brother enough, perhaps we should make every UFO witness have to prove their sighting in court. Being that probably 99% of UFO sightings are never even reported because people are afraid they wouldn't be believed -- I think treating them like possible felons is just what is needed to get rid of that pesky 1% that actually have the nerve to report it.

You Should Procrastinate |
 Believe it or not, procrastinating is actually pretty good for you. So go ahead and do it. You work well under pressure, and deadlines don't bother you. In fact, the less time you have, the better. If you put off a task, you get it done more efficiently. There's nothing wrong with using procrastination as a way to motivate yourself. Whether you procrastinate or not, you'll eventually get the job done. The only difference is, if you procrastinate, you might do a better job. |

Pooka and I did some paranormal field tripping yesterday. You can read part 1 over at NM LOWFI. Part 2 should be up late tonight or tomorrow.
I think I forgot to mention, but I also have a new Grey Matters posted at Binnall of America.
I hope everyone enjoyed their tax day and weren't rushing around still trying to get things postmarked on time. Now that tax day has come and gone, I suppose I should get around to filling out that census that I haven't even opened yet. Although, we finished taxes a couple weeks back, it is only my dread and procrastination keeping me from opening the census.
Pooka and I are worn out from all our paranormal walking and hiking, so I guess that is all for now.
