I enjoyed this documentary by Boy George. He talks about the 70s when he was young. He brings up loads of issues and people and fashions that reminded me of the culture which was the distant background to my youth. Bless him, I loved this:

I’m intrigued by your accurate visions in real time. I’m not sure that ability is latent in everybody. My connection with that is being overcome with emotion when an elder has died unbeknownst to me at the time. Sometimes it’s turbulent, sometimes quite pleasant and forgiving. Most times I knew who it was while happening.

I have a hunch that the greater this sensitivity the more likely one is wary of the pulsed microwave energy characteristic of 5G. Just thinking out loud

Maybe.... I do know when an iPhone is anywhere near me. I can feel them. Other people don't even notice any effects from them at all.

I can relate. Draining for me w/ the towers or various tech devices.

Thanks for another riveting episode, Frances. I wanted to smack Tony in the face for not calling you. And then mocking you and saying you should take better care of Dan. Asshole. And thanks for taking me down memory lane with Bob Seger. I grew up in Detroit and he played at one of our high school dances. :)

I adored his music during the 70s and ever since! Music has played a huge role in making tough times tolerable. Your comments about Tony are so understood. He was a hard nut to crack and when I did, what I found within was rotten.

76, longest summer ever. Do you recall the Ladybirds everywhere, piled up on paths like autumn leaves?

We had a massive invasion of green fly first and the ladybirds followed to consume them. On the coast, where I was all day, there was enough wind and seagulls to clear them away very quickly. Then we had a massive thunderstorm overnight and the insect invasion was no more.
