stormdogI'm still having a run of bad dreams.
Last night was one about death. Not the actual even of dying, but about me being an old man and just thinking about how, fairly soon, I would be dead. I don't know if there was more to it, but that's really enough. As I said before, I typically go for three or four months without remembering dreams. I would have said that I really wish I could remember more of them, but having unpleasant imagery in my waking mind a couple times a week is getting kind of old.
Maybe it's my subconscious trying to make up for how damn well everything in my life seems to be going right now?

Outside of the Don Q Inn in Dodgeville, Wisconsin sits a Boeing C-97G Stratofreighter. They were long range military transport planes, built from 1947 to 1958 and used in Korea and Vietnam.
The plane was flown to town in 1978 by Wisconsin National Guard pilots, landing at a no longer extant airfield. It's been parked in front of the Don Q ever since, where it's open for interested passers-by to explore. At least, in warmer weather. The last time I stayed at the Don Q, in the winter, the plane was, understandably, closed up.
Sitting in the cockpit of this plane, looking out the multi-paned windows, and reaching overhead to toggle banks of little metal switches was just so much fun for the little pup in me (who really is not that far below the surface most times, even when he's not out and playing around).
