New Year's Day

 

10 a.m. Monday New Year’s Day headlines Japan has issued tsunami warnings after major earthquakes today collapsed homes and sparked a fire the Parker Solar Probe is the first spacecraft to have flown through the sun’s outer atmosphere which is paradoxically 300 times hotter than the sun’s surface weathering unimaginable conditions including temperatures close to 1,400 degrees Celsius and solar winds charged with high-energy particles gun buyers will have to wait longer street racers face tougher penalties and there’s a change to your voting rights those are among the new Washington laws that take effect today Iran deploys warship to Red Sea amid soaring tensions Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s New Year’s Eve kiss will make your head spin round

10:40 a.m. after breakfast I heat a pot of water to pour down the bathroom sink keep it from clogging heat excites molecules ideas excite words what’s an idea an idea is something imagined or pictured in the mind heavy rain at night in Tokyo Albert Einstein writing on a blackboard in Pasadena herds of wild horses galloping in Sweetwater County Wyoming molten lava spewing from a fissure north of the evacuated town of Grindavik Iceland

10:11 p.m. I finish watching the French news which included a story about the wind turbines installed near the Addo Nature Park in South Africa home to thousands of wild animals lions leopards black rhinos hyenas buffalo and elephants the turbines were built by a French company EDF Électricité de France unfortunately the turbines disturb the elephants elephants use infrasound to communicate females call males via this infrasound when they’re in heat so that they can reproduce but the noise made by wind turbines disrupts this communication and so there’s worry that they will become aggressive and fight I remember the wind turbines by the Columbia River Gorge in Washington State and how distracting they were as we descended into the gorge on I-90 it felt like my eyes were about to start spinning around in their sockets

9:20 a.m. January 2nd, 2024, 43℉ I have my usual breakfast scrambled eggs and a slice of white bread slathered with butter and Bonne Maman Four Fruits Preserves it’s raining it’s not a heavy rain it’s a light rain so we can run in it without too much difficulty and there’ll be a lot of goose poop and puddle dodging I like puddles I don’t mind them the puddle is a parable of language it reflects the sky without disappearing into the sky at least not until later when it evaporates and ceases being a puddle and becomes a cloud until then it remains a puddle a puddle of water with a particular shape and depth and calm and if it isn’t calm then it’s something else a hiccup of lightning or a foot smashing an evergreen but wait a minute you say a puddle can’t create itself it has to come from rain pennies from heaven means an angel is thinking of you this is true and it’s the same with language and writing it falls from the mind in words that form puddles called paragraphs and streams called speeches
