Old Weather Forum

Oh, that's funny! I've encountered that in a couple whaling logs in the past. They feel the need to start the year off (or finish the previous year) with a poem or a quote.

Every day I live is one less at the end so I am packing in as much as I can before the meet.
Our kids will gey the property so we are spending the cash.

In the many years I've been doing these logs I think I have only seen two poems.

I got it on my very last try.
Ironically, I had looked at it several times but it just didn't seem to match the Worldle outline

Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was?
Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses.
Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an Event Boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next.
Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale.

Thank goodness for studies like this. It's not our age, it's that darn door!!

In my house you have to go through a hallway to get from one room to another. That means going through two doors to get where you're going. Having to go through two doors certainly explains why I have such difficulty. By the time I enter the hallway, I've already forgotten. I'm doing good if I can just remember which room I was trying to go to.

Maybe I should have contractors come in and remove the walls.

Might be cheaper to get a virtual reality program and maybe a tame robot! I find stairs are even worse!!

Stairs, yes! My brother-in-law had stairs that went from the first to the second floor. There was a landing in the middle where the stairs had a right angle halfway up. He told me that he hated getting to the landing and forgetting what he was going to do. "But," he said, "the worst thing started happening a few years later. I would get to the landing and I couldn't remember if I was going up or going down!"

Happy Birthday Bryan!
