sideways, not up nor cleft
That all of the underlings of the overling, not one of the side steps or the front steps or the back steps or the upstairs or the downstairs.
All are steps, this way or that, leading somewhere, or leading nowhere. I suppose, could be leading anywhere.
One step at a time; one day a time, one moment at a time, one femto-second at a time. All trace the passage of time.
However. With this stay-at-home, who knows what time is what? That is the second least important question of the list of three questions that could be posed by someone who has three questions of which the second least important question was the question just posed.
Juxtaposed between the left most leaning tower and the right most leaning King of Diamonds; a centrist position likely represents the greatest number of people.
I have never surfed, be it on waves in the ocean, or on snow. I did ride a skateboard in my youth for the briefest of moments. I may have roller-skated only once or twice, but ice skated perhaps one or two dozen times.
Reading out loud the nonsense that makes up most of this blog is not unlike counting to eleven an unequal number of times.
During this cower-at-home period, I still see the occasional commercial aircraft rising up or settling down into the closest airport. Who are the passengers of such aircraft?
Outside my bedroom window at night, as I am going to sleep; the planet Venus is bright and clear on the nights there is no cloud cover, plainly visible as I lie in my bed looking out the window. If I happen to awake at or around 4h37, I would also notice the moon out that same window; if near or at full, it would hide Venus with its brightness.
I've seen advertisements of the Google Pixel mobile device that takes excellent night sky photos; my own mobile device does no such thing. I am not prepared to pay the inordinate cost of the Pixel if only so I can take night sky photos. More likely I would get a proper camera, much more versatile in terms of photography; get the appropriate lens as well as the right aperture and shutter speed. I would use that same camera to see about taking high-speed photos when attending short-track speed skating competitions.
During this waft-at-home period, I do have an idea, on a morning that is clear, and that the temperature isn't too cold; to arise before dawn and walk to a spot I suspect I'd be able to see the sun rise over water. I am not certain if the spot I have in mind; looking downriver; would line up correctly with where the sun surfaces, but I would certainly go at least one time to check it out. It is possible that it would surface at the right place, just not on the particular day that I would go. According to TimeAndDate the Civil Twilight would begin at 5h33 with sunrise at 6h06 tomorrow morning. This is not that far away from my regular wake up time; so perhaps tomorrow morning I will dress appropriately and go for a walk to the spot I have in mind. I would just need to make sure I go to sleep at an appropriate hour this evening.
With respect to sleep, I have been sleeping without an alarm awaking me in the morning. I have been sleeping all the way through the night most nights, occasionally stirring after having 3-4 hours of continuous sleep, falling back asleep quite quickly to get an additional two to three hours. As usual, pre C19 as well as now, I fall asleep at night rather quickly.
All of the colours that make up the rainbow decided to go on strike. Brown and Gray had a party.
There aren't really that many people who loiter now that we have to squander-at-home. Meandering too is not generally accepted, unless you live out in an outer suburban or rural area where there are more significant or vast open spaces.
