What if any of these actions don’t happen, or even just happen out of sequence? Then there’s a certain disconnect between my environment and me, which takes a while to refocus. Strange stuff.

Although, these bright mornings are making it much easier: Ernesto talks about those clear mornings in London here.

For example, surely you can’t help but be heartened by yesterday’s news that drinking too much coffee makes you see ghosts.
