But I am fiercely debating whether to remove her from my logo. Either way, a baby carriage or high chair will soon join it..

The mixture of nationalities leads to strange things
I’m half Irish. And I’m half Russian. I’ve often thought that the Russian side of me is why so often I’m paranoid, angry at the small things, and conspiratorial with the belief that people who don’t even know they are out to get me are actually out to get me..
It’s the Irish in me that tames me.. It makes me emotional, it connects me to the earth, and it leads me to the spiritual side of life.
The tension between both sides is often at play. . And no more than now, after the death of an uncle and the death of a family dog.
Now let me say, I have had very few occurrences of those ‘gotcha’ moments in life when a God is proven or when an ‘other’ world becomes apparent. As a matter of fact, the only time I can remember a human experience being other worldly was an impromptu memorial for a deceased niece named Grace.. the other memory is after a former dog named Newton passed away a few short years ago. I swear, on any one’s grave, that Newt walked passed my door only a few days after death. I, and a friend, saw him. Although the friend didn’t believe it, or ever talk about it again, even when prompted.
The other moment came tonight.. my dog Bailey was put to sleep last night after a severe final battle with cancer. Tonight, as Tara and I were getting baby clothes ready, we both heard the door open and feet walking by the baby’s room..
We both heard of, but Tara doesn’t want to talk about it.
Maybe it was a last visit from a dog before going to the other side.. wherever that other side is..
So do I believe in God? Do I believe in an after life? The Irish side of me weeps and cries and says yes. The Russian side doubts and worries and panics and says maybe.. At least I can so no side of me says no.

This time Bahrain.. And some others too.

There is also the chance that the mega flare will jam radios further and even GPS and other devices..
I’ll update as long as I can here.. Hopefully outages will not be severe.,
And a side not, not to brag, but if you read this site you’ll know I have been paying very close attention to this since the infancy of the solar flare, when it was just forming in the plasma hole of sunspot 1158..

It's been a long week so far..
It has been a pretty trying day.. my dog Bailey, after a few short years of life, was put down this evening.. It was a pretty rotten scene.. I feel absolutely terrible.. my head is pounding.. And life is .. strange. It begs the question of a post-earth existence.. What else is out there? If pets and humans once again coexist on the higher playing field of heaven.. do bad dogs go to hell? Is there a pet purgatory for animals that bit their owners.. but what if their owners were bad, too?? All of these questions, all with no answers.. All to be asked by people confused about their very essence.. All to be pondered by great minds, small minds, the mindless. Because it’s not just all great minds that think alike, but all minds in general.. We think alike because we are human. And since we are human we wonder.. What else is out there .. and what else is within..
Life
Unpredictable with twists.. Amazing with speed. And often sad with grief.. I believe Bailey the dog experienced them all today.
