A Weird or Normal Dream
I dreamt I was at a very big store, hanging out with Catherine, my former coworker, and Mary, our former boss. We end up sitting at a super long table in the employee basement and reconnecting. I think at one point how I’m glad I can be so far from them, and that Catherine should be farther away from Mary.

The Tiniest Thing
What is the tiniest thing worth? Will you know it when you see it? Will you know how much it might mean to someone else?

I could be a lucky penny left behind that brightens someone’s day.

When you add in vacant properties, the list probably balloons to millions.

Civili-musings
Why do civilizations fall? Why with a world around them, a people behind them, and major achievements in their name… do they decline? Why would anyone, any race of people, leave all that behind? Or why does something always happen that forces the people to do so?
