Dear Mom,
Well, that proves that everyone has their own special obsession. My husband is pretty healthy - oh, he has his quirks like anyone else, but for the most part he's laid back and rational. But his big obsessive target is the sky! He looks up there and all he sees are the 'chem trails' that the secret government are laying down in order to carry out their nefarious designs upon us. We'll be looking at a gorgeous sunset or a clear blue sky and he's going 'Look, there's another one! Those f**ckers! Look! that's one over there!' Kinda ruins the moment for me. He'll start grinding his teeth and I have to keep reminding him that you gotta have trust, things are going to be *OK*!He's spent hours and hours calling up the FAA and is on several internet groups that devote themselves to tracking such things. The point is that there probably is something going on that's not quite Kosher, but perhaps it's totally benign and not part of the New World Order conspiracies at all? Interesting how focusing on something for good or bad makes it real for us.
Gee, I sure hope I haven't fouled up your one safe haven... I guess, don't worry about this. He and his cronies are keeping on top of them! - and at least he's not in the bars. - Barbara
