Mortality

I turned 44. I had an average day but it has been colored by when I had a stomach-diarrhea illness for a few days caused by pizza cheese and my lactose intolerance. 

Note not all pizzas harm me. I can tolerate those from Pizza Hut and I will try Little Caesar's soon. Though pizzas are hardly good eating and eating is one thing I think about more as I get older. 

A lifetime of processed food, the damage, if there is any, has already been done. 

I hadn't really thought about my own mortality. I do have hypertension but I take my medications. 

Then earlier in the year, a woman I had known from early childhood died being nearly a year younger than I am. 

That has bothered me since. I know what we choose to eat is important but it is dictated by what I can afford. Usually nothing good. 

This day was typical but I am reminded of how one can be forgotten in the meaninglessness of their own lives. Yes, I said meaningless because most humans are. 

We should have stayed apes. 

I am okay. I don't have any pains worth mention. I do have low energy but this was because I haven't eaten much since being sick like that. I wear MeUndies. I do not want to soil them so I didn't wear them, no C-In2 for that. 

As the usual decline in food, prevented by choices in frozen food and vegetables, goes on to the end of the month, typically a spare and uncomfortable time. 

All I can say is thank goodness for Aldi. 

But if we understand, this modern life of ours is unsustainable. I see this in the very few times I go somewhere.

I mainly just sit here. (I also stand a lot)

So the anniversary of a Wednesday in the mid 70's really only means one more step to mortality. 

Hurricane Dorian

This is Category 5 Hurricane Dorian. It is making life in the Bahamas extremely difficult. No, forecast tracks take it skating off the East Coast of the US but environmental effects and the tides will cause flooding, tornadoes and other terrible things.


As the Earth heats up, these will become more common. Dangerous cyclones will cause mass destruction and kill people. 

I'm not going to get into a climate argument here. The facts are plain. 

There is an organized area of storms just off the West African coast. It is forecast to become a tropical depression very soon. No telling what it will do.
