A Rip in Reality

-

Well it’s some three-years since my last post here, and you will be forgiven for thinking this blog has morphed into one about the strange and inexplicable around us, rather than just the ludicrous.


Today I was driving through our housing estate to get to the main road when, as I approached a necessary right-turn, I found myself driving into what looked like a huge swarm of very black bees or large insects in a vaguely ball-shaped formation about six-feet in diameter, smack-bang in front of me, windscreen height. There was no noise either, not from the insects themselves, not from them hitting the car.

I was too busy trying to navigate safely and avoid parked cars to be able to examine the objects in the swarm more carefully, but when I checked my rear-view mirror there was nothing there. Not left or right either. I duly arrived at my destination and got out of the car to check for insects stuck in the radiator-grill or under the window-wipers, squashed perhaps on the wing-mirrors.

Nothing.


hat also struck me about the event was that the insects all looked very black. No detail I could make out. Not even wings really, just a lot of small “shapes” polygonal maybe, milling about.

Static in reality?

Another case where, after you’ve read my previous post, you might just question my judgement. But as far as I’m aware my sanity is no issue here. I saw what I saw. If it is a health issue with my eyes, well it’s a first and there have been no more repeat performances. So far …

Crossing the Divide

The following strangeness might be egg-and-milk for adherents of the “many-worlds” theory of Quantum Mechanics. It should also be food-for-thought for anyone else who has witnessed something strange but not spoken about it less they be ridiculed. What I will say though is what I’m about to tell you is true, not some attention-seeking Internet fakery, deep or shallow or otherwise. But for clarity it should also be pointed out that, yes, I have recently had a head injury that needed ER treatment. However a full medical didn’t throw up and further problems and from my own viewpoint I’m pretty certain I’m as sane as I ever was … I live in a housing estate built on a hill and around the corner from us, is a particular younger family. For years the husband worked in the building trade and was often away from home during the week. The wife seemed to be a full-time home-keeper with a child to look after and was often seen out and about. Then something happened. An accident? A medical trauma? I...

The Problem with eSIM

-
For many years I’ve used the same physical, plastic SIM card and simply transferred it to any new smartphone I bought. This year was different though. Although I reset my old phone before disposing of it, I accidentally left my SIM card in it. After contacting my telecom provider’s support team the plastic SIM’s connectivity was cancelled and I was issued with a new-fangled eSIM by email. All I had to do was focus the new phone’s camera on the included QR code and as if by magic it was transferred across and my new phone began working. Forward a couple of months and I decided to upgrade my smartphone again as the screen of the new one was too small for my aging eyesight. I reset the old one and deleted the eSIM, which is a part of the resetting procedure, then tried to obtain a new eSIM from my provider as had happened before … but apparently their old system no longer worked. I had to log into my online provider account and request it there. Sadly I needed an active phone with the sam...
