Jason and I popped over to Saltspring Island this weekend for an errand he had to run. He'd not been before, so we were going to pop in to see his friend/errand and then do a few touristy things (yes, in the heat, but with an air conditioned vehicle WOO HOO!)
I don't think I talked about it here, but I know I mentioned it to Jason... but a while ago I had a very intense dream involving a campsite and possibly a road trip to Burning Man.
And when we pulled into the place we were visiting this weekend? It was the place from my dream.
100% not kidding.
And I'm not talking "oh, it reminds me of that dream", I'm talking it was the place.
I'm wracking my brain to see if there is any reason I would ever ever have been there before, but I can't find one. I've not been to that Island that many times, and have never camped there before (I'm pretty sure I've only ever stayed at friends' houses over there) and I have no idea what or why or how my brain did it.
But man oh man what a weird feeling. Not even deja vu, just "this is the exact place I had that dream."
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
