Impossible not to have heard of Pokemon Go.  You know what?   So far I'm okay with it.  This is some harmless fun.   And a phenomena,  for shizzle.   A total community.   Yeah, let's wait it out before complaining.   Here's a park in Bellevue, WA for you to observe:

DREAM ENERGY

So, that solar plane is cool.   In the ninth leg of a round-the-world trip started in March, pilot Bertrand Piccard landed the Solar Impulse 2 near San Francisco, Saturday afternoon.   The airplane has the ability to fly both day and night, with its only 'fuel' being energy from the sun.   " 'It's an adventure we want to share with the public,' Piccard said."   This is indeed the stuff dreams are made of.   Piccard remembered being inspired by astronauts as a boy.  "He said if he and his team could do the same for others, 'that would be fantastic,' "     news

WILD ONES

William and Kate went on safari last week in India.  They "headed out in a jeep Wednesday morning" to among other things see "rhinos, elephants and more."   Just for a bit.  The civilized, into the wilds.    news

Principle in the type:  "You can tell someone you love them first.  You can try to speak only the truth for a whole week.  You can jump out of an airplane or spend Christmas Day all by your lonesome.  You can help people who need help and fight real bad guys.  You can dance fast or take an improv class or do one of those Ironman things….  Adventure and danger can be good for your heart and soul.”          Amy Poehler

I mean, for real?!  Here's what folks are doing where there isn't any snow ... and there are giant waves ... and find themselves at the beach ... and there's a contest going on. 














                                  

Principle in the type:  "I just followed the advice of one of my favorite quotes:  'Jump and the net will appear!'  Sometimes you just have to take a risk without thinking through every potential scenario of what 'could' go wrong.  I think that if you begin letting that inner voice take over with every possible doubt, you will never take the leap."      Jocelyn Delk Adams

"Erika Karen Winter's 'wildest dreams' came true," as she was "crowned the 98th Rose Queen" for the 2016 Pasadena Rose Parade.    “ 'I went into complete shock, my knees buckled a little,' said Winter of hearing her name . . . "    During judging, "Winter stood out as a leader " due to her volunteering, peer counselor work, and activity at school in cheer, dance, student government, and more.          news              

Principle in the type:  "Adventure is important in life.  Making memories matters.  It doesn't have to be a secret seaplane and a historic sports moment, but to have a great life you need great memories.  Grab any intriguing offer.  Say yes to a challenge and to the unknown.  Be creative in adding drama and scope to your life."                                     Rob Lowe,  Love Life             

DREAM CATCHER

Chase your dreams, but not all the way to your near demise.  I mean, let's be reasonable, right?
