The New Blue

Friday, August 01, 2025

Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.

Early... still July in California.

How are you? O/

Hope all's well.

On with our show...

Time zones.

Time is a much more practically interesting thing in an Internet Age.

If you were reading this live from the West Coast, USA as I wrote it, I'd be writing to you from tomorrow.

A different day, a different month.

It's numbers; it's math.

We require language more than numerics to best express our experience.

There we are.

Here we are.

Happy tomorrow. Welcome to today West Coast!

If you're from California, no wonder you're always late... you're so punctual.

New York's children are in the cafeteria having lunch when California's kids are just getting on the bus.

Blame it on the sunrise, on the arc of the sphere.

That's an interesting topic for a Doctoral Thesis: The Real World Effects of Time Zone Differences in The Modern Age.

Go for it, soon to be Doctor.

Now we're all here, what's new?

Tsunami got your mommy?

Volcano spoil your lawn?

Flood drown your hopes?

Hurricane blow your dreams away?

How's your recycling campaign?

More trash in the blue bin than the green?

The winds of change showed up.

No one but Dorothy and Toto expected they'd be tornadoes, though.

Unless you go for that whole 'End of Days' theory.

But, as we just finally got California into the same day as us, we're back to just one day... so it is truly the End of Day(s).

Literally.

We could blame The West Coast's tardiness on their predilection for wildfires, but we know it's the angle of the Sun's fault.

Speaking of faults, let's not forget earthquakes.

Nature is really shaking things up, lately.

Did you know the Ocean is a whole new shade of blue?

Really.

Ask your AI bot buddy.

They'll fill you in.

If you're asked, "What's new?"...

"The Ocean's Blue," is probably one of the best answers.

Why's the Ocean a different color?

Because something changed on a 'It's such a big deal, it changes the color of the whole ocean' level.

But paparazzi say she, you know her, had a bad hair day.

It's probably the fault of the New Blue water.

Only so much a new designer shampoo can do if the whole world decides to change the nature of the tides.

But, no worries, AI can comb her hair.

Waiting on the sunrise...

It's here.

It's an entry on priorities and time.

There's looking good and there's dodging volcanoes.

There's hair dryers and there's hurricanes.

There's a comfortable bathtub and there's another flood in Texas.

And it's not your problem.

And there's 'yet'.

Let's get together, clean up our acts to clean up our house, make sure our outfits don't clash with the new ocean blue, and make wonderful this wonderful day.
