I feel as if I'm floating in some other space and time. I've been on the go since I arrived home 3 weeks ago. Camping all week, then daughter and grandkids here in GJ for 3 days. They just left and everything is now eerily quiet - just the tapping of my computer keys and the drone of the refrigerator. And my tinnitus. This will pass, this will pass . . . .
The cable company dropped by Friday afternoon and I said, sure, Y-not? $30/month, no contract. Let's see what television is like these days. We watched some the past couple of days. Very interesting, very interesting. I didn't really 'grok' it. A lot of reality television, which I think is just normal people being filmed as they go about their affairs. They are so bizarre. I particularly like the interesting ads for condoms. It will be fun watching it, like being a new arrival from a distant planet.
It's hard to tell what the economic state of GJ is. The houses around the center of town look a bit rundown, though the downtown shopping area looks vital and there's lots of new housing. The streets, sidewalks and bridges are being repaired under the Stimulus package. Lots of new stores. So it feels like it's prospering overall. Interesting.
