There is a Star Trek episode where the Enterprise is being surrounded by what is know an energy field known as the Tholian Web. I use this spider web analogy often as a way to say things are “meshing” and twhen they do, all heck breaks loose!

A number of events yesterday show that the web is closing in…

The first, I was flipping channels and saw the movie “Fire Down Below”, part of which appears to have been filmed just yards (many yards, but yards just the same) from the radio station where I used to work. The car chase was filmed right where the new interstate goes over Pine Mountain and if the camera had panned 180 degrees up towards the top of the mountain, there would have been the radio station tower which transmitted my voice to the masses!

Secondly, I was cleaning out boxes of “treasures” minutes later and there was a photo of my old 67 Camaro, at that same radio station!

A bit later last night was the movie on 9-11 in Washington DC and was on the phone with a friend who works for the Senate and his boss was portrayed in the movie. Also in the movie, the part of the Secretary of Transportation was played by George Takei. who blog readers here will note had his photo taken with me last weekend, while we talked about Hawaii and that is why I was going throught the boxes and found the Camaro picture.

That I went to the Chevy dealer today to get a fuel pump for said Camaro, is NOT that much extra of a coincidence, so I’ll spare you the analogy on that one

Yesterday, on an internet newsgroup, I posted a list of electronic equipment I want to dispose of (errr, SELL) before I move. The stuff is too costly to ship and I won’t have time for that hobby anyway.

One item I was originally going to give away, but Ebay browsing got the better of me and I discoved the item is worth $150 on the auctions. I decided to “go for the gold” and sell it instead.

Speaking of selling things, I have a sluice box, pump and prospecting equipment available, should you want to “go for the gold” yourself!!! That is another enjoyable hobby I’ll be giving up.

Speaking of movies, therre was a sci fi movie years ago where a limited number of people would leave the earth in a spaceship before disaster struck. Everyone was working hard and only hours before the ship takes off, would people know for sure if they were in the small group of lucky travelers. While the disaster aproached, countdown clocks were shown and people saw the signs and heard the announcements, “hurry hurry, rush rush”.

Today is T Minus 19 days and counting… (tick, tock, tick, tock)
