The Uncertainty Principle: I've spent my life trying not to be careless

I never dream.

I can not remember dreaming when i wake up.
Ever.

My JoJo says it appears physically as if i am dreaming sometimes,

when she observes me sleeping.

Do I appear like a sleeping dog whining and

dream running?

If I cannot remember dreaming---then do I actually dream?

Is having no memory of something is the same as not actually having it?
Am I facing the perfect dream storm of a Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment?

Schrodinger's Cat

I know that i have forced myself awake out of nightmares--

When that happens--I wake up gasping, disorientated--
At that instant of awakening, although i know i have forced myself awake,
I cannot remember the nightmare that caused the awakening?
I remember nothing of the nightmare itself.
Research indicates that there is no
ill affects from being incapable of re-calling one's dream state.
Within humans there is variation, as with everything human--
there are high dream re-callers---

as well as low re-callers of dreams.
Low re-callers, such as myself are in the minority.
Psychology today

I was livin' the dream this morning.
In the cool, bright sunshine out front,
re-painting our bungalow's white picket fence.
Boombox at my side playing Art Pepper's Saxophone.
The perfect retirement morning---
No one's the boss of me now.

Tea Partier Ted Cruz announced today he

would run for the Republican Presidential nomination.

Cruz is the self proclaimed leader of the Republican Taliban wing.

Instigator of Government shutdowns, short time Senator,

climate change denier, and religious fanatic.

Born in Canada by a Hispanic mother,

he is a rabid control the border, stop immigration freak.

The reasoning behind his stance,

you'll just have to figure out for yourself?

Can't help you on that one!

There have been several on target descriptions of Cruz---

My favorite is:

"Sara Palin's irritating little brother."

but

Jerry Brown, the Governor of California, summed Cruz up perfectly

by publicly describing him as a man

"absolutely unfit to be running for office."

Cruz does has a following in the Republican Party.

Low in numbers but large in the noise factor.

The problem with this announcement really is that---

Now every conservative nut-bag with a following of more than two crackpots

will now be attempting to win

the Republican Presidential lapdog

of the 1%---position.

The Republican Hunger games for their

Presidential Nomination has begun:

My opinion on both parties and all candidates remains unchanged:

I have a trashed, for restoration, boom-box in route.
A Marantz Superscope CRS-2100.
$9.95 invested....?
Shipping cost more than the box..

White paint dribbled down the black front exterior.
Acid melted battery box without a cover.
The antenna when extended comes apart in pieces.
It is claimed by the seller that both the radio and tape units function?

I'll believe that part when i hear it---
I intend this box to be an ongoing, in it deep rebuild project--?
I intend on detail stripping this unit down, repairing, repainting
and rebuilding.
Hopefully to end up looking something like this when completed:

The fact that Marantz produced boomboxes in
conjunction with the Japanese company Superscope
is not well recognized.
Reportedly the end result of their collaboration was
well built, heavy, good sounding boxes
but never produced in huge quantities or varieties.
Attacking on the cheap for this collectible...
