Now we know! Big Brother (or a B by any other name) is watching (listening, searching, gathering, sorting, storing, saving and all other forms of acquisition) everything! There is no private place except in our own heads and that may be compromised as well. Of course, we should totally believe that these agencies of secrecy are being truthful when they declare that they only use the data in very specific cases--sure they do! Nothing is sacred; nothing is secure! You, me, we are being watched--down to the last character we type, the last thing we say, perhaps even the last thought we think. If not, we are now even as I type!

Heard a good characterization today--I don't have amnesia, I'm just in a state of permanent present tense! Movement class was fun today--it felt good to stretch and move. Went to Thai place for lunch and had delicious stir fry. Couple from resistance training class were there. I didn't see them when I arrived but noticed them when my meal was brought to my table. They liked the food. Will see them tomorrow.

Had a round with the dentist in the late afternoon. They mounted the new cap--and noticed a cavity in a tooth just below the area of the cap. That means? Another cap for the lower tooth as well! I'm working on a really expensive smile! The dentist is smiling all the way to the bank.

Dreamed last night that I was working on a device that had been built by this genius programmer. He had not documented what he had done to implement the device. The device could accept and encode hug amounts of data. Once encoded the data could not be extracted without entering a key that would unscramble the encoded files. I was showing everyone how to perform trial-and-error probes of the data files and deduce, eventually, the key. I was quite adept at using the encoded data files to give me insights into what keys had been used.

Watched a film this evening--Fear Eats the Soul. I'd seen the film before but didn't recognize it by its package jacket--so I got to see it again (refer to amnesia quote above). The film, which was mostly in German, was done by newer director who likes to push things a bit. The film is both raw and well as moving, anger-provoking and upsetting.

I grow tired tonight (only had small nap--beyond my sleeping in this morning). Heat is supposedly on its way back to the area over the next few days. Have a Tuina session tomorrow (yeah!).
