It was April, 2010. Hibernation ... though I know not of any organism that can pull up this feat, hell of a hibernation that was! It will take some time to figure out what lucid dream I was in, but suddenly while fidgeting around with my google account, remembered I was a docile, novice blogger sometime in 2009-2010.

I have been on boat rides ferrying across rivers with good distance between shores, but this was a different experience.

Just that as it rotates I can see and count the blades. There are two windows but in the wrong direction, so no hope there as well!
