I&#8217;ll be doing something somewhere with a group of people, then I&#8217;ll be somewhere else with different people doing something else, then I&#8217;ll come back to the first place and the first bunch of people &#8211; and maybe go three or four other places and end up back where I started.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Since I finished my stint in the Navy I been\u00a0having these not always pleasant dreams that I&#8217;m back in the Navy, and, for instance, someone will come running through my sleeping compartment (where there are dozens of narrow bunks with tubular metal frames stacked up at least five high with not a heck of a lot of room between one bunk and the next -) and say, &#8220;hey, get ready, the Captain&#8217;s coming down, aren&#8217;t you ready for inspection?&#8221; &amp; I&#8217;ll go into a slight panic, realizing my hair is like a foot longer than &#8216;regulation&#8217; and I have a beard that the Captain won&#8217;t like at all- and I know I&#8217;m not wearing regulation footwear and the shoes I&#8217;m wearing will never shine to the Captain&#8217;s level of approval- So if they&#8217;re looking for an excuse to &#8216;volunteer&#8217; anybody for any kind of &#8216;doo doo&#8217; detail my number is up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Okay, so late Tuesday\u00a0night \/ early yesterday morning I dreamed the Navy had somebody come get me and tell me they&#8217;d messed up my records, and going back over them, decided I owed them two more years of &#8216;service&#8217; &#8212; Then I was riding in a car, don&#8217;t know who was driving, but I knew it was a friend and I knew they were driving me onto some weird little out of the way Navy base that maybe had a twenty year old two story barracks building and two or three old ships, including Amphibious landing craft ships left over from world war two and small destroyer type ships that were slightly larger than PT boats. I got there after dark, the officer of the deck looked at the papers I had and looked like he was confused, shrugged and led me to the sick bay where a doctor on duty scratched his head and shrugged and assigned me a bed, told me he&#8217;d give me a physical in the morning. Another dream intervened, like maybe a dream within a dream, and then I heard the doctor clear his throat, and &#8216;woke up&#8217; in the sick bay bed to see the doctor looking at his watch and then scowling at me. I looked around for a clock and I think I found one, I couldn&#8217;t read it, but guessed it was something like 10:00 am when I should have been up and dressed and ready for whatever at 6:00 am &#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Then, luckily &#8211; I woke up in this world and wondered why I still had these weird dreams about being in the Navy. Especially since I&#8217;d be way past retirement age and &#8211; what the heck use could I have been at my age?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_292\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-292\" style=\"width: 576px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/aerendel.ca\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160731_140323.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-292\" src=\"http:\/\/aerendel.ca\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160731_140323-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Person swimming in a tipsy world.\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"http:\/\/aerendel.ca\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160731_140323-576x1024.jpg 576w, http:\/\/aerendel.ca\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160731_140323-169x300.jpg 169w, http:\/\/aerendel.ca\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160731_140323-768x1365.jpg 768w, http:\/\/aerendel.ca\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160731_140323-580x1031.jpg 580w, http:\/\/aerendel.ca\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160731_140323.jpg 1836w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 85vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Weird angle of Somebody swimming &#8211; thought this might fit the mood of a weird dream.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8212; Shrug &#8211;,<\/p>\n<p>~~~~~Jim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday Morning, August 11th, 2016 &#8212; 20\u00b0C \/ 68\u00b0F &amp; Dark @ 4:22 am in Atlantic Canada &#8212; It&#8217;s my favourite niece in law&#8217;s birthday today.
