    I wonder if peppermint patty could beat Velma in a fist fight?

    I think Patty would take her out at the knees.

    I get so caught up in the day to day of things that I sometimes find myself forgetting what really matters.

    My parents are from a small town, in the Midwest. I grew up with yearly trips to visit family, everyone smiles at everyone and would say good morning. I grew up with the same energy of smiling, if eyes connected to another in passing.

    I can recall catching early on, a person will look you dead in the eyes and walk right past you. I can picture saying “good morning”, in passing with the same reaction. After growing up with others’ blatantly wanting to be left alone, I’ve moved differently. The whole reading body language and expressions, instead of the inserting myself upon them.

    I remember going on a trip to Bermuda and being amazed at how polite the people were. Especially the school kids. I remember taking the bus around the island and when the kids got on they made sure to say good morning to the people they walked by on the bus as they found a seat. Just made for a very pleasant atmosphere. Definitely a far cry from what happens on NYC bus or train lol

    I swear I live in "Pleasantville" America. EVERYONE greets you as you pass by ... Children are chatty & well socialised ... Great sense of community... Community events Zen and kooky 99.9% of the time... UNTIL BOOM ... Neighbours arguing over frivolities zaps you back to this time zone.

    Most days, it's difficult to just be in your own "headspace." I do however appreciate the predictability of "the charm" of having the "Stepford like" community, less the possession & weirdness, which is why I have even grown to value our resident busy bodies. Lol. Neighbours inserting themselves into your conversation is normal here, even at restaurants, so DON'T EVEN THINK you could go out on a date without everyone knowing what transpired at your table. Cozy, yes. Stiffling? Only if you are a newbie.

    This is a lovely account@ Bermuda. I hear Jamaica is much the same. Urban centers are cold, detached and people tend to be oblivious to their surroundings. SD reminds me of Japan. Almost everyone is looking into their phones with earbuds in, jostling for space and no one makes eye contact.

    Memories. My grandmother and later my mum would make us banana Guyanese at Brownies/Girl Guides camps served with hot Milo by the campfires. :) No smores for us.

    Is it friendly? Or is it a humongous ball of fun gas masquerading as a mushroom?

    More importantly, is it of the psilocybin family?

    We can only hope. Imagine if it is an interstellar psilocybin probe?
