  No Radio, No Cell Phone, No GPS etc. What often amazes me is how the old time sailors navigated the oceans. In fact they were even more alone than the astronauts of today. That was bravery! Here are some videos you may enjoy.    Here's a song about how emotionally close the men of these ships became. I often think about my old friend from 40 years ago who for some reason only sends me a Christmas card once a year but never keeps in touch the rest of the year no matter how much I try to write or phone him. It's a real mystery to me. Here's one more:  

 

  FRIDAY, Oct. 9, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- COVID-19 is primarily a respiratory infection, but experts have suspected the virus can also infiltrate the eyes.

It was uninhabited and had a steady slow cold draft running through the hallway, scary. Up the wide stone stairs, I was halfway up to the next floor when I woke. I was sure the building was somewhere in our neiborhood. My wife was sure it was only a dream and that she never saw such a building. But what if the building did somehow exist? Does reality exist only while we are awake? Two very short videos: Are we living in a virtual reality?
