SAINT STEPHEN'S DAY IN HUNGARY - NATIONAL HOLIDAY
Celebrated quite like our Fourth of July, with fireworks, parades, and sports.

HUNGARIAN BAGPIPE MUSIC Hollóének Hungarica - Ördög útja (trad. Csángó)
Hollóének Hungarica - Ördög útja (trad. Csángó)
Where there are sheep there are bagpipes. This song goes faster and faster making me think of "whirling dervishes." I imagine the dancers must dance till they drop!

STRANGE DAYS
Have you ever felt the days were "strange?"
I've been picking up a vibe that these days are. Maybe it's because the moon is full, an eclipse is due, or maybe it's that here in Southern California school is starting, and even the hours at the public pool already reflect no expectation that kids will be coming to swim. There is no doubt in my mind that it's way too hot out. I don't even feel much like eating. Instead, I drink tall glasses of iced water, or iced tea, usually without any sugar. I'm in no mood for coffee.
The weather and food choices tied in.
Other changes though must be inside me.
I have been donating most of my books.
Today I donated clothes.
I'm in a process of pruning.
Maybe reevaluation.
