Happy New Year, fellow lab rats.

[Raynine]

Well, it’s 2025, and I am still upright, Happy New Year by the way. I got up this morning, swallowed some coffee, and turned on the boob tube. Someone got into a pickup truck and plowed into a crowd in New Orleans. There are lots of fatalities with injuries with what looks like a self-inflicted suicide which is pretty much a standard event these days. I see these fat cops standing around talking on cell phones at the scene and I wonder if they are coordinating things to keep order or if they are pre ordering food from Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Another year is in the books and the experiment continues. I am in a snow globe petri dish and so are you. I perceive time as linear, and it passes by like a river loaded with trash. Do I get a prize for figuring this out? Probably not. I haven’t done anything to control this. What can I do? I have had a few déjà vu instances and those are weird. They don’t last long but they are profound. I am still living in the flesh at the moment and interdimensional influence on my life is not something I visit often.

I guess I could wash down some Ayahuasca with my coffee and take a spiritual journey, but I have no idea how to get that stuff. Maybe in a few years we can get it in in the drug store. We are stuck on this globe by gravity, and we are not going anywhere until the experiment is over. Who is running the experiment? Beats me.

Anyway, Happy New Year, and God bless us everyone. Sorry, I know Tiny Tim said it first, but it is worth repeating. I hope you live long and prosper. Sorry, Spock said that first. I can’t come up with anything of my own. Maybe that’s why I am here in this petri dish.

NO, they're calling the donut shops, telling them they're going to be late...............
