When I was visiting my Aunts in PG over Christmas, one of them said, "Reality is a Social Agreement." Today, I had an experience of that when there was a loud rumbling overhead. I was under a flight pattern at the time, and wondered aloud whether it was a plane or thunder. The person I was with is also from "back east," and he had no more sense of how "real" the possibility of thunder in CA was than I did, but we agreed it didn't sound like a plane. Then came another rumble--this one distinctly thunder (by our agreement)--but the third rumble was definitely (we agreed) a plane. I wonder how I would have decided the matter if I'd been alone . . . hmm . . . food for thought. But if it was thunder, it's not surprising, as it has been very stormy. I don't even know if my power ever came back on, as I am staying elsewhere during the repairs on my apartment.
On another note, I watched Shreck the Third with my host last night. It's a pretty good movie, although there's not much new in it. It was certainly funny, but I thought Shreck 2 was more creative.
The rain let up long enough for a trip to the Farmer's Market this morning. I just love Farmer's Markets--food looks so much better when it is fresh, local, and out on the street. Blood Oranges are in season, and so are Madjool Dates. Mmmm, Nature's candy!
Anyway, I've got other stuff I ought to be doing, so I'll be logging off now . . . :)
