Contemplation February 17, 2017

Maybe we should be selective in which factories we bring back. Are they loose on environmental standards enforcement? What about labor unions? Fair wage could bring up the cost of production…are corporation willing to reduce their cut? Or are they just jerking the markets around? Property values go up? But fewer can afford them?
So many questions, so many factors. Are we going to be surprised the prisons are full again? Human misery is “good economy”? What did you fight for when you were 20 and 30 something? My generation wanted peace (well my local soft leftist high-school did) and more “field trips” out to the wildly relevant -Steam Anchor Brewery- No, we didn’t get to drink it (school accreditation at stake)
I guess we weren’t all that radical. and then again my first orientation with my new classmates was a field trip to Big Sur (why the school chose there,…I don’t remember because flow of time space changed, this was the occasion where I first experienced effective cannabis high whereas all previous exposure to the herb was dull and no more buzz than a cigaret (them foolish White Boys in Alameda) Further – more, on returning from the trip to Big Sur (where I sanded the top of my feet by standing stoned in the edge of surf) same classmates begged a sleep-over in the classrooms since many lived far away and would have to turn right back around the next morning to attend classes. I don’t recall

Understanding Sensory Processing Disorder in Adults

Signs of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) in Adults

Adults with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) feel assaulted by the world and all of its ticking clocks, buzzing lights, and strong perfumes. …everyday sounds and textures feel unbearably distracting.

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) manifests in many small, sometimes maddening ways. Itchy tags may be unbearable. Loud music intolerable. Perfume simply sickening. Whatever the specific symptoms, SPD disorder makes it difficult to interact with your daily environment. This impacts how you relate to others, study and learn, participate in sports and group activities, and follow your dreams. It is a unique and challenging neurological condition associated with inefficient processing of sensory information that is commonly found in adults with ADHD, and it deserves serious support
