I will love possums to the ends of the cosmos because of all those nights arguing with a possum for my parking space. I was driving an MG Midget, usually with the top down, and I would be coming home from my daily retreat to a river into which I could roll naked to survive the heat — the Yuba to be exact — up where the snow melt kept it cool.
I don't know what it was about my parking space that attracted that possum so much, but it was always my parking space, and that possum would sit up and look ferocious at my approach. Every time.
I'd stop and try to reason with it.
No dice.
I'd inch forward, still reasoning away.
No dice.
Always, not until the very last split second did my silly foe retreat into the night.

I am in a very strange state today.
My personal relationship with the capitalist healthspan professionals has taken a turn. I ordered up a powder they're selling because it promised to solve almost all of my complaints in one go.
Well, dammit, it DID!
It arrived yesterday, and I went just a little overboard. A serving and a half-ish. Just because I'm old and desperate not to feel like total crap while I'm about it.
It probably will not faze the sleep circus at all. Nothing ever has. But holy crap, men, it fazed ME! I went to sleep, got an immediately satisfying late night nap, then got up to wonder if I could go back to sleep for a few hours. Then I did go back to sleep and it was a dead to the world rock and roll dance party sleep of the completely helpless just.
Again, holy crap!
I awakened this "morning" [afternoon] feeling, say, thirty-five or forty again, but, well, disoriented as fuck.
It might've been my new powder converging with another phase shift in the time/space discontinuism, or all that restored NAD converging with all those promising ingredients
Every night, while you sleep, your body is hard at work—repairing muscles, regenerating skin, and restoring cellular energy. But without the right nutrients, these essential processes slow down.or even the storied flight into life of the definitively dying.
Skin & Body Essentials is designed to fuel your body’s overnight repair cycle with a precise blend of:
Glycine – Clinically shown to enhance sleep quality and promote deeper rest. Studies suggest it may help regulate body temperature and calm the nervous system for less tossing and turning.
Collagen peptides – Collagen production declines with age, impacting skin hydration, elasticity, and joint health. Supplementing with bioavailable collagen peptides provides the building blocks your body needs for firmer skin and stronger connective tissue.
Creatine – Not just for athletes, creatine supports brain energy metabolism and helps muscles recover after daily wear and tear. Supplementing before bed can enhance overnight muscle repair, leading to better strength and endurance over time.
Taurine – This essential compound has been studied for its ability to reduce stress, support cardiovascular health, and aid relaxation. It plays a key role in balancing neurotransmitters that promote calmness and deeper sleep.
You might think I'm jumping around in my newly middle-aged self here, but, no. I'm confused. Or something like not wanting to disturb myself in a precious bodily self-deception. Whatever. I'm not jumping around. Just gaping.
I feel like all this political and geopolitical terrorism between globalist psychopaths and humans is in some kind of spiritual beyond and we might not see the actual death of reason or its rebirth until we've somehow made ourselves fit for it. Maybe we each must pick, or probably we each have picked long ago. I don't know.
Presently, I do not care the same way I was caring. I need some time to adjust to possibly an ACTUAL revolution in the annals of old people not suffering so fucking hard every goddam hour of our old age.
Even, it could be that I don't fall asleep until Friday and it was just the buddhas of the ten directions having a larf. Whatever. Whatever. What-the-heck-ever.
Possibly GREAT insight is nearing.
