• Boomer parents and lockdown rebellion? "At least one survey shows that baby boomers, one of the demographics that is most at risk of COVID-19 (to the degree that the illness has been uncharitably referred to by youngsters as the “boomer remover”)." Rolling Stone.  
• Troubling development. Anyone with symptoms or positive for Covid-19 urged to minimize contact with animals and family pets. Several tigers and lions at the Bronx Zoo expected to recover after they started showing symptoms and one tested positive for coronavirus. CNN.  They had been in contact with an asymptomatic worker who later tested positive.

• David Paulides/Missing 411 would appreciate this case. Tom Dongo writes about his teleportation experience. "It was a short walk of about 15 minutes. It’s impossible to get lost in such a close area. I got the tools and headed back. I was going down a shallow canyon that had about two feet of dry maple leaves on the ground. I glanced down at my boots for a few seconds so as not to trip – and when I looked up again I was not in the same canyon." Alternate Perceptions Magazine. 

Thank you, Ars Technica for flagging the novel and inspired, Tales From the Loop. 
"Residents of a rural town find themselves grappling with strange occurrences thanks to the presence of an underground particle accelerator in the new series Tales from the Loop, inspired by the stunningly surreal neofuturistic art of Swedish artist/designer Simon Stålenhag."


Ars Technica says "The eight-episode series was originally slated for a limited premiere at SXSW last month; the coronavirus pandemic scuttled those plans, along with our collective social lives. But now everyone can watch the series on Amazon Prime."

Shows this week - Conscious Living on Empower Radio - 9 pm central time, include -

April 7 (TUESDAY): Journey Into Prayer - Bill Sweet discusses the ability to engage empowered prayer; the ability to manifest intended results and, in some way, you are already doing it.

They founded Spindrift Inc. to support research and education in the fields that studied consciousness, prayer, spirituality, and the placebo effect. The Klingbeils presumed that the purpose behind quality prayer is to nudge disorder toward order.

April 8 (WEDNESDAY): NEW EPISODE - Medical Miracle with Qigong - Kac Young didn't realize what had happened until Doctors started taking images of her heart and were astonished at what they saw. Evidence of extraordinary healing.

Coming up on Wendy's Coffeehouse -  

April 12, Sunday, 8 pm central time, KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM. Cathryn McIntyre. The Thoreau Whisperer. Will we talk about Ghosts? Of course. And ETs and Fairies and dead authors ... because paranormal is part of life.

And right now, more people seem to be paying attention to that part. Speaking from experience, alone time opens doors easy to ignore when overwhelmed by social obligations, work deadlines and other daily life distractions.

Kinda like the two pandas zoo keepers had been unsuccessfully encouraging to make babies for 10 years. Shuttered due to coronavirus - zoo pandas - are enjoying their quiet time. Story in progress. CNN.

Ghosts, ETs, Sasquatch, Fairies and the like also tend to shun crowds. They're more likely to opt for a one on one engagement. The experiencer has a life-shift and determines whether to go public or stay private. And the world can believe it or not.

Stay curious. Be well.
