  • Living Without Gravity is Uplifting (3) NightSwimming

    There we were sitting on top of Bark chip Mountain and decided we needed to go do a little night swimming.

    The fear of getting caught
    Of recklessness and water
    They cannot see me naked
    These things, they go away

    It was right there, but Mr. Michael turned and looked at me with wild bedazzled eyes and said to me “ you’re not really good at electricity are you?”

    My obvious answer was no, and we started heading down to the stream for a little swimming and then things got weird. Slowly, and surely gravity started to not work again. It looks like I messed up the fuse box big time. I didn’t seem to have the full effect as we weren’t flying up in the air. It was more like floating. It was an easy commute down to the stream because cars and bicycles and even buses, seemed to stay pretty close to the ground.

    However, Michael, myself and our dog Luna were having a hard time staying grounded. I wrapped my head on a pine tree when we got distracted along the way. There sat a little bar the locals called the Frontier Tavern. We decided to go in and have ourself a beer.

    It was dark, and dour heartfelt music played on the jukebox. It was an old country song about trains and train stations. I liked that song and Michael said he did too. Luna didn’t seem too much care and she walked in, not expecting the owner to say a word.

    Which brings me to a joke

    I walked up to the bartender and asked her if we can have three beers. She asked us where our partners were. She assumed we were single.

    I asked her why she assumed I was single.

    She said because you’re ugly.

    We really need to get to that swimming hole.

  • Living Without Gravity is Uplifting

    In my previous post, I awkwardly described my first few minutes when I found out the Earth had no gravity

    It’s not a bad day when you end up hanging out in a tree with Michael Stipe. we both felt a little stupid hanging onto a tree. However, the rest of the world didn’t make any sense either.

    I forgot that on this day, we had fixed the hot water heater earlier. nothing seemed to be working in the house. The hot water heater didn’t work and I really need a shower by now.

    I called the repair person from the company who helped me fix the hot water heater. They had talked me through the repair and I forgot to reset the gravity breaker on the fuse box.

    I didn’t realize the gravity breaker worked like this.

    I flipped the switch on the fuse box and everything seemed different.

    Yes, I found out when I turned a circuit breaker off in the house that I turned off the gravity as well. I’m not real good with electricity or gravity. I get the equations right but I didn’t realize I could control them. I had messed around with the wiring and I must’ve messed something up.

    I turned off the circuit breaker for the gravity, and I forgot Michael Stipe was still in the tree. He came tumbling down along with my Jack Russell terrier.A few branches broke their fall, and they were no worse for the wear.

    Up on Bark Chip Mountain

    But now I didn’t have any hot water. It looks like I had to go revisit Maslow with his hierarchy of needs. A week ago , I had a large mound of bark chips delivered to the front of the house. It was daunting , how big that mountain was. I ordered a metric yard and I must’ve got a metric ton. I looked rather ridiculous sitting on top of a bark chip mountain the air was somewhat colder up there and I was waiting for the light rain to turn to snow.

    It never did, but I was cold. I was surprised to see Michael climb that mountain as well. He got to the top of our wood mountain with chips in his hair, a few arachnids and some thorns from a rosebush. Michael always looks good despite the mess.

    We sat silently, figuring the order of the cosmos and had no real good ideas. Then we realized we forgot the dog. She scurried up to the top of Wood Chip Mountain accidentally. I don’t know what I would’ve done if that squirrel had not made the ascent..

    Luna looked at us with her deep, dark eyes and she tried to tell us something. She knew what we had to do but I wasn’t figuring it out. Michael is smarter than I. He looked at the dog then back at me and handed me two pieces of red licorice .He said we need to do some night swimming..

  • Much To My Surprise

    Gravity no longer exists.?

    I was not prepared for this today. I woke up and walked out into the yard, and against the run of play, I was hanging onto a tree. The branches at the bottom are small and they couldn’t hold me I kept going up and up and up and up until finally one held me.

    And there was Michael Stipe in the next branch singing.

    Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
    Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
    Stomp gravity into the floor
    It’s a Man Ray kind of sky
    Let me show you what I can do with it
    Time and distance are out of place here

    It’s pretty cool cause I’ve always wanted to meet Michael Stipe but not 100 feet up in the air with no gravity.

    My responded as she was barking from a lower branch.

    And the day just kept getting weirder.
