  1. Ooooh...! Spooky coincidence time. I'm planning a reunion of two of my friends from back home (#LovecraftLand in Massachusetts), so of course I felt obligated to provide entertainment (in the form of #KateBush music videos -- our common musical interest). Anyhow, while looking through my YT playlists, I came across a trailer for #StrangeMagick . I forgot it had come out, and quickly found the actual documentary. I knew it was about #HPLovecraft and #AleisterCrowley, but did not realize it dealt a lot with the #OssipeeVortex. It just so happens that our planned reunion (a few days after the #SolarEclipse ) will take place at the vortex! Talk about #StrangePhenomena !

  2. A quotation from Doyle

       “You will remember that I remarked the other day, just before we went into the very simple problem presented by Miss Mary Sutherland, that for strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.”
       “A proposition which I took the liberty of doubting.”
       “You did, Doctor, but none the less you must come round to my view, for otherwise I shall keep on piling fact upon fact on you until your reason breaks down under them and acknowledges me to be right.”

    Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
    Story (1891-08), “The Red-Headed League,” The Strand Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 2

  3. Now I Have to Go

    There is going to be a ton of back story to this one. You’ve been warned.

    My maternal grandmother’s maiden name was Bridget Murphy. Her friends called her Bride, or Bridie. She had a bunch of kids (five, but one passed as an infant) and those kids all had kids of their own and two of those kids had a lot of kids of their own. That means I have roughly 25,000 first cousins (I exaggerate of course, but only a little). Many of us are on a Facebook Messenger chat thread together.

    One of my zillion first cousins’ daughter got married this weekend. It was a destination wedding. The destination was in Ireland. Glorious! Some of my cousins have been sending photos from the trip to the Messenger thread. One of them just sent something that changed my personal mindset about visiting Ireland. How so?

    I have always wanted to visit Ireland but now… now I HAVE TO VISIT IRELAND!

    The photo was of a store front. The name of the store:

    Bridie Murphy’s Home Bakery.

    Yes, I now have to go to Ireland. I have to go to the land where Bridie Murphy’s Home Bakery exists. It is a must. It is a moral imperative. It has to happen.

  4. German FM warns of Russian shadow fleet amid undersea cable incidents

    Almost every month ships are damaging important undersea cables in the #Baltic Sea, Baerbock said

    She described suspicious activities by ship crews, including dropping #anchors & dragging them on seabed for kilometers without explanation

    They lower anchors & drag them across the #seabed for no reason

    She expressed doubt the incidents are #coincidence
