Well, you just never know. We have been under severe weather advisories (that spelling does not look right, is it?) all day, but it just began sprinkling a little bit here on the Edge of Nowhere within the last hour, and we have received about 0.13" of rain. The weather forecast, between now and Friday is calling for 11 inches of rain. ELEVEN INCHES OF RAIN between now and Friday. When we first moved out to the Edge of Nowhere, we got eleven inches of rain one day, and you would not even have known it, but right now, there is still standing water here and there, and it is squishy when I walk out to the front barn to check on the girls. SO, I am not sure what another ELEVEN INCHES OF RAIN would do out here, but hopefully not too much. I guess we will just have to wait and see. I have a 5:45 A.M. flight out of Austin Thursday morning, and not sure what the odds are going to be that that will actually happen. Connecting through Hobby to Harlingen. Bonnie? Anybody got any ideas or thoughts? Feel free to let me know.Hypermnesia -- Noun. abnormally vivid or complete memory or recall of the past. "Hypermnesia is characterized by both the intensity and the rapidity of memories." Michael S. Roth, Memory, Trauma, and History, 2012
Did You Know? Perhaps the most famous individual to exhibit hypermnesia was a Russian man known as "S," whose amazing photographic memory was studied for 30 years by a psychologist in the early part of the 20th century. Hypermnesia sometimes refers to cases like that of "S," but it can also refer to specific instances of heightened memory (such as those brought on by trauma or hypnosis) experienced by people whose memory abilities are unremarkable under ordinary circumstances. The word hypermnesia, which has been with us since at least 1882, was created in New Latin as the combination of hyper (meaning "beyond" or "super") and -mnesia (patterned after amnesia). It ultimately derives from the Greek work mnasthai, meaning "to remember."
