Where's My Arm?

We were having a family get together and as I was getting out of my car and as I turned to see the beautiful faces of people I love I went to close the door of my car. I did not see or have any sense of attachment to my arm, which was still inside my car. Just in time I stopped myself from slamming my arm in the door.

The interesting thing about this brain injury stuff and the way my brain doesn't read what is going on around me is that I also have no sense of attachment to my limbs. I know they are there and I can feel my arms and legs but I have no actual sense of awareness of them unless they are in my line of vision.

So when I was outside of the car and had turned around to to say hi to my family I had already started to close the car door. And that was when I saw that my hand was resting on the back of the seat and my arm was still inside the car. And that was when I became aware of it being there. I had absolutely no awareness of my arm until I saw it there.

Radiation Doesn't Make the World Go Round ~ It Goes Round the World

A very informative video on where the radiation goes when it enters the atmoshere. Lots of sites shared where you can access information on your own.

Ever since the disasterous radiation contamination in the environment after the Tsunami hit Japan and the subsequent nuclear power plant explosions; I have been wondering how the vast amounts of radiation that have been released into the atmosphere will affect the weather. We had such a strange thunderstorm recently and I was thinking, I wonder what affect the radiation would have in the atmosphere when it swirls around in a storm front and becomes eletrically charged by lightening.

And then we had one of the worst series of tornadoes in our weather recorded history.






Here are some interesting YouTube clips on the tornadoes many in Alabama did not survive.
