Groundhog Day Movie, repeat and reuse...

What do those words have in common you may ask?
Fortunately, I was incorrect in my assessment of how the newest cap was going to work when asked on my Facebook page by a local news anchor to everyone and we all responded just a few days ago and I was not very fortuitous in comparing the oil leak to the movie, Groundhog Day.
Since if you all recall in that 1993 movie, the male character that was portrayed by Bill Murray would wake up every morning and the same things would happen over and over again, day after day; nothing would ever change.

Oddly enough I heard on the national news someone quoting my quote when asked if he too felt the newest attempt to cap the leak would work! What he said is that it was like Groundhog Day… and I laughed hysterically; why you asked?
Because he never mentioned the movie; only actual Groundhog’s Day which we all know is February second and that is when we wait to see if the groundhog in Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow to know how many weeks of winter are left and that is only once a year! But the movie is quite a bit different with the same things happening over and over again for weeks! He missed the analogy, oh well…what can one do?
They say the way that you know that you are crazy is to do the same thing over and over again with the same bad results and to be honest I was beginning to think that the people trying to stop the leak were getting there very quickly! And that was my point with the well problem concept resolves that never seemed to be working until miraculously on day ‘87’, and the cap finally did work! As they are all saying now to keep our cool and that we are to be cautiously optimistic, OK we all can do that, right folks?

My day began pretty much the same as yesterday, uh oh; I sure hope that I‘m not going into a monotonous trend here with my own movie in rewind!
But yes, I awoke early at five, no surprise there, and did my usual… checking emails, reading the paper online, and looking at my Facebook page.
Then I went into the living room to start reading my latest novel, Patterson’s Private, then breakfast, pool and shower and Copaxone shot but this time in my left upper arm and Hubby had to do it, since it was on an odd angle for me to self inject.

From there we made a grocery shopping list to take with us to the ‘Publix’.
This way we don’t deviate too much from what we need to choose things we just want!
At this time of the year like most all Gulf Coast dwellers we seem to keep well stocked in foods and gas and such, just in case we have a dramatic change in our weather like dare I say a hurricane in our vicinity; so far so good though, nada.
In fact the last two days have been lacking moisture in any form, which right now in my book is a very good thing!
I do know that we need to have some rain weekly would be just fine with me, how about Monday Wednesday or Friday for a half hour of more?
Laughably I do know that is not a negotiable commodity, but wouldn’t that be great?
No, think about it… no more droughts, no more floods, who wouldn’t love that?
But then the controversies would begin who’s G-d would we discuss it with, and would that be an impartial one deciding in what parts of the world would he/she make those wetnesses(Tobism) come down or stay up?
Yep, I guess the way we have been going is the only worldwide fair way!
Hit or miss, no choices taking what you get and dealing with it; not too much different then when we didn’t know what sex our new baby was going to be way back when, LOL!
We dealt with that, but now you youngins all know if you so choose to, right?
And that deal is much longer than just a few days or a bit of your income and insurances involved, it’s a lifetime! I know NOT a good analogy either!
Perception is as small as a blip in time or eons…that are infinite.

Leaving you all in a small bit of confusion is my pleasure to all and so I will bid you all a very good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!


PS Thank you to my new follower, whoever you are! (Wink,K)
