I am enjoying getting back in the groove of being a better informed blonde. I am so dog gone well informed, I even know there is a Labrador dog running for mayor of Fairhope, Alabama. And to further improve and inform my little blonde mind, I now am watching informative videos about things that interest me. Especially things like evolution and extinction. Evolution and extinction are sort of two sides of the same coin in as much as plants and animals that do not evolve with the times, often wind up extinct. Sadly, the impact humans have had on earth has made evolving fast enough to keep up the changes we have brought about impossible for many plants and animals. I can only hope that if there ever comes a day when we all gain complete use and control of our amazing human brains, there will still be an abundance of plants and animals for those amazing brains to experience and enjoy.

Sometimes, I think the great leaps and bounds we have taken in technology are going to wind up making it impossible for humans to evolve quickly enough to withstand our own impact on this world. When I stop and think about all the technological advances I have seen in my lifetime, I can’t help but feel that what the scientists say about us only using a small percent of our brain must be true. Perhaps the “unused” larger percentage was put there to help our minds deal with these radically changing technological times the little part of our brain thought up. And do we really want to imagine what we could do to the world via technology if we ever do figure out how to put 100% of our amazing brain to work? Would using that full percent of our potential be our saving grace? Or our ultimate destruction? Is there a “logical reason” The Powers That Be only allow humans to use a small percentage of our amazing brains? Maybe They really do know what’s best for us?

It’s not all about dogs running for mayor and the theories of evolution and extinction though. I also keep informed about women’s issues through some of my RSS feeds and social bookmarking sites. I recently pondered these questions asked by the staff of Fabulously 40 & beyond. How did you feel when you turned 40? Was it exciting, scary, emotional, or another feeling you just have to get out of your system? Has your view on being 40 changed today? I’m not sure how the staff is going to feel about my reply their well thought out questions. I had fun answering their questions though. To see my reply Click Here

If there is one thing life has taught me on this now 50 year journey, it is to always take the time have a little fun along the way. If one can learn while one is having fun, then that is an added bonus. I had two such bonuses recently when I discovered the Top 10 legal things you can do if find yourself holding a jar of salt. If you click on that link, be sure and check out what you can do with baby oil, toothpicks and vaseline as well. I really had no idea of the many legal and non perverted uses there were for vaseline, and baby oil. Or perhaps I once did, but have forgotten.

And last but not least, there has been some new additions to Musings From The Bottle. What began as Random Thoughts in BBs Blog was moved to the main page, and became Mini Musings. That new section will contain my random thoughts, as well other brief words of wisdom and wit. The Witchy Woman section Now has a Word Witchery addition that will contain among other things, my feeble attempts at poetry.
