I am sitting here in my room with every single light on and candles burning. I even have the light on in my closet.
The only ones who have been awake with me since 1:30 have been my cats, and they've been napping on and off.
In the dream, I was driving a car, and there were two children in the back seat, a girl and a boy, ages 5 and 7.
They were not my children, but their mother had thrust them at me screaming "RUN! Don't let him get them!" as she fell broken and dying ... So we ran.
I was driving through the desert at night with them, and I could see headlights behind me across the clear hard pan, gaining through the miles, bit by bit. I had no clear promise of good resolution to offer the children. They'd been so traumatized by what they saw happen to their mother, they could not tell me their names.
The boy, the eldest, kept rocking and muttering, "He's going to eat you, too. He's going to eat you, too."
His eyes looked too large for his face, with deep black circles underneath, and the girl had her eyes squinched shut, as if to block out anything at all to which she might have to bear witness.
I remember shaking as I was driving the car, my foot pressing the gas pedal all the way to the floor, driving across the salt plain, trying to get who knows where, some cave refuge of safety.
...
I ran out of gas. We poured from the car, and I carried the little girl, holding tightly to the boy's hand, and we tried to run, but we got caught by their father.
That's all I'm saying from here, but I want the lights on. I really want daylight to come.

Q: Why are quantum physicists so poor at sex?
A: Because when they find the position, they can't find the momentum, and when they have the momentum, they can't find the position.

LOL! Particle Physics! I'd love to try that!

a few point to discuss with the captain...
"Because when they find the position, they can't find the momentum, " wouldn't velocity be far more effective?
So it could be said, "when they have said velocity, they loose magnitude and direction?"
Yes, I had to go there

The joke is based on the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which states that you cannot simultaneously measure both position and momentum accurately.
That being said, my college roommate, an English major, did my 3rd year physics homework. I do have a lot to learn.
