Feeling a Bit Sad: Autumn Musings.
Autumn, for her, is often a time of reflecting. Of looking back on what has been and how she felt about it then, how she feels about it now. She's trying, post Caring (and it does still need a capital letter, probably always will), mid marital crisis, to put herself at the centre of her own life. To be the heroine of her own stories and not a supporting role, no matter how vital, in someone elses!

Black Tom Explosion
I recently learned about this from a youtube video about Mandela affects. This was a strange one for me. In school every year one thing was consistent and that was History class. How is it that myself and many other people don't recall learning about this Black Tom Explosion. After all it is the first attack on American soil and was such a large explosion that it blew off the torch on the Statue of Liberty. I will admit I was not the best student but I'm pretty sure I would of at least heard a mention of this in school. Apparently I am not the only one who can not recall learning about this in school either. Many have made posts asking this same question. If your as clueless as I was here is a sumary of the event that shook America in 1916. Please let me know if your remember this in your studies growing up.

History of Christmas. Content Warning.
Christmas, which falls on December 25, is a global cultural and commercial phenomenon in addition to a revered religious holiday. People have been celebrating it with customs and rituals that are both religious and secular for the past two millennia. Christmas Day is a celebration of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a religious figure whose teachings serve as the cornerstone of Christianity. Gift-giving, tree-decorating, church attendance, meal-sharing with loved ones, and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive are all common practices. Since 1870, December 25, sometimes known as Christmas Day, has been a federal holiday in the United States.

How did we Evolve?
How did we evolve? Homo sapiens, the newest addition to the Earth's inhabitants, emerged approximately 300,000 years ago. These upright walkers, known as humans, would go on to accomplish remarkable feats such as creating magnificent cave paintings, constructing Machu Picchu, and even inventing credit scores. However, before all of these achievements, humans were simply the ambitious newcomers, joining three other closely related ape species that already roamed the Earth. These early humans were not so different from us; some of them discovered the power of fire and began cooking their food, while others even practiced burial rituals and created art, just like we would eventually do. Although we often perceive ourselves as the dominant figures in the story of humanity, wielding fire and crafting tools, the truth is that for the majority of our existence, we shared this planet with other species. These ancient neighbors challenge our understanding of what truly defines a human. As a scientist, I prefer to reserve the term "human" exclusively for Homo sapiens.

"Whispers of the Wandering Sands"
The sun hung low not too far off, creating long shaded areas across the immense breadth of the desert. I walked through the moving sands, the determined intensity overwhelming me like a significant weight. The excursion had started as a mission for replies, a quest for significance in the huge void that extended perpetually before me.
