Awesome. You write very well. :2thumbsup: What sort of animal was it? The spine still being attached is pretty wild. Could it have been a bird? I collect sticks, stones and bones. I have a bunch of bones from some sort of small animal, or large bird .. but I can't figure out what it is. The bones are only slightly porous so it couldn't have been dead for more than a few months. I wish I had a camera .. that way I could upload the pics so somebody could identify the bones. Typewriters and rotary phones, lol. Seems like such a long lifetime ago. Then they became electric. And cordless. The old stuff is better. What about phone booths? haha
I walked into a old phone booth once. Was in an antique shop. Circa 1930s or 1940s England I believe. Made me feel like Superman. I used to collect bones. Specifically shark bones. It wasn't a bird. It was bigger. My lady knows bird and dinosaur bones. I know some animal bones well. I'm not sure what it was. This was an islandy area, so, it wasn't anything too big. Mind you they have bears there. But, it was clearly placed there by man. The spine was still attached. It hung down like a neck tie from behind the skull. The skull was somewhere around the size of a naval orange or grapefruit.
Neck tie, haha. Little bits and pieces throughout the unfolding story come together in my mind and make me think of a song. My memory bank attaches a song to anything and everything .. I can't help it. Typewriter and phone = communications. Plus the bones and island .. I think of A Flock of Seagulls, Telecommunications One of my all-time favorite bands. I worked at a company called MicroTouch in the 90's .. calibrating the touch screens. The drummer from A Flock of Seagulls worked there, too. I think he was an engineer. If I wasn't so painfully socially inept I might have been able to meet him. I saw him plenty .. just never had the courage to approach him directly. And I regret it. Technology's amazing leaps and evolution.
What would you like to talk about? How was swimming? Is it just me, or are more people wearing sweatpants in public?
Swimming was nice. It's the evening now and the weather has cooled down. The pool is heated though and that's great. I actually can't recall the last time I saw someone wearing sweat pants. Are the coming back in style?? haha.. Well, I'm in southern california so there really isn't any need for sweat pants here in any season. People usually wear them to go jogging, right? The joggers around here tend to wear shorts even when it's 'freezing'... Guess it's just you then. Do you wear sweat pants?
I will actually see more people just wearing pajama pants in public than I see sweat pants. I guess they figure it's pretty much the same thing.
Do you like cold swims too? I find the freezing waters from melted snow to be luxurious to skinny dip in during the warmer months when the streams run wild through the mountains.
I don't really like cold swims unless it's 90° out.. I do really love cold weather and cold temperatures but I like to stay warm and bundled up.. I prefer jacuzzi to a pool. The jacuzzi is very relaxing to me.
ha, totally thought I was the op of this thread.. my boredom thread is in a different section of the forums though... so lunarverse, I think you should _______ to cure your boredom.. Who am I kidding? I've got nothin'
Oh christ.. No, I don't wear sweatpants. Seems here tons of people wear sweatpants or pajama pants in public.
I love cold weather. I have an unusual sensitivity to heat, mostly hot water. I can't have hot baths or showers. I need everything cold.
I don't like cold swimming when it's cold either. My most precious time is in the morning when the mist is rising and the sun is coming through. I swim and get out flick the water off me all supermodel like and bask in the warm morning sun while my skin tightens and loosens with ripples of cold water.
I am really, really bored now. I should be writing a novel, or at least short stories or something. I need some current inspiration though.
