8. I don't even normally watch the news. It was just on. |
|
(failure to turn off set after Countdown - sound was muted). I got up because I have a sick puppy who "sickied" on my floor and I had to clean up and do the water drops for hydration - and, poof, noticed the story. Maybe the sick dog is wondering what pukes (haha!) will replace the old guard, too.

RIP Ranier
I don't know much about Monaco. I read about Grace being a patron of the arts. Never read much about Ranier - but he was devastatingly handsome. Godspeed.

It scares me to think what might take their place, if Bush is any indication.
RIP Prince Rainier. May you and Princess Grace spend an eternity together.

7. I wish it were the Rapture |

But no, from my work in hospitals there simply are 'dying seasons' of the year. December and early January. April/May/early June. August. More or less coincident with great changes in temperature and jumps in humidity. Springtime and the winter holidays seem literally to kill...people feel ill and still enjoy the first flowers, or Christmas, one more time and then just fade away.
Elderly people have increasing circulatory system trouble adjusting to environmental temperature changes as they age. The high humidity spikes mean lung infections and lung deterioration, which also burdens the circulatory system. The 'dying seasons' amount to deaths from pneumonia, COPD, congestive heart failure, and the like.

9. April is the cruellist month, breeding |

Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers.
