After having briefly mentioned the topic of nightmares during a visit with other Aspies and gaining an unexpected response from one individual, my curiosity about them resurfaced. It became a recent strong interest I’ve been indulging in and trying to satisfy with professional data gathered from current research studies. Maybe if I summarize what I’ve [...]
For decades, I was an Arminian. Afterward, I became a Calvinist. Also for decades, I went from church to church to see how they differed. Doctrines of salvation were not discussed in detail. Eschatology was either more interesting or a safer topic to bring up. I was thankful when the internet became available for me [...]
My first camera was a Minolta SR-T 101. I remember having bought it on my 19th birthday in October of 1973. I was happily impressed by the prints from my first roll of film developed. I scanned one of those old (and now faded) prints I plan to publish on a post someday. A decade [...]
A vacation is leisure time away from work (time longer than several hours out of one day) devoted to rest or pleasure. Typically, people perceive work as paid employment. They might not go so far as to say that being unemployed is like being on a vacation, but few would be able to realize I [...]
This post continues from where Water Sights at Taylor Pond left off with its photos. For those who are new here, this Chi-Poo kayaking buddy of mine goes by the name of “Rascal.” I wish I could have gotten at least one picture of Rascal while the wind was blowing strong, because the back of [...]
This post continues from where Lean-to Sites at Taylor Pond left off, with my marveling over how wonderful the sound of a brook goes with hearing wind blow through trees and a loon off in the distance! (All shots are enlarged by clicking on them.) The above is towards the southwest. The Catamount Mountains are [...]
This post continues from where Tent Sites at Taylor Pond left off, with the mention that this campground needs campers or else New York State will keep it closed. These first three photos are from site #2; one that’s only accessible by boat or a long hike. It’s very remote and has a fair amount [...]
Before I begin to write about Asperger meltdowns and shutdowns, always remember that neurotypicals also have trouble handling a stressful situation. Whose Planet Is It Anyway? has an excellent post about the Autistic/Asperger Meltdown Stereotype. Probably the biggest difference between a neurotypical not coping well with a stressful situation versus an Aspie has to do [...]
This post continues from where Taylor Pond is the Best! left off, with mentioning about a bat, a loon, and beavers following me while kayaking. These first three photos are by site #19; one that’s accessible by car: (All shots are enlarged by clicking on them.) These next couple of photos are from site #3; [...]
This post continues from where West Before South left off, and hopefully now will reflect a little more enthusiasm. I was heading to the Adirondack Mountains, but had no idea where exactly would be the best place to stay. I didn’t feel like going from one body of water to another as seen in my [...]
