I had to tell people this story. As I started to become more awake I tried to find something to hang on to that I could remember\u2026 I came up with the name&nbsp; <span style=\"\"><\/span><i>the forest people<\/i>\u2026 gotta remember <i>forest people<\/i>, <i>forest people<\/i>, <i>forest people<\/i>\u2026 I got out of bed and went and brushed my teeth.. <i>forest people<\/i>, <i>forest people<\/i>.. gotta remember <i>forest people<\/i>.. I went down stairs to see Diane and Gabe.. <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span><i>forest people, forest people <\/i>can&#8217;t forget.. <i>forest people<\/i>. Finally it was bugging me so much I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down <i>forest people<\/i> . There.. I&#8217;d captured it! I new it was important and I needed to tell the story in my blog\u2026.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"\">&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span>OK.. that was at <st1:time minute=\"30\" hour=\"18\">6:30<\/st1:time> this morning.. Now it&#8217;s 9 at night and this is what I remember of this story that seemed so important to me this morning. <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span>there were a bunch of<span style=\"\">&nbsp; <\/span>very nice people<span style=\"\">&nbsp; <\/span>all wearing <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span>plaid shirts and pants <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span>floating around on big plastic mushrooms in the basement of a big building..<span style=\"\">&nbsp; <\/span>They were all being chased by people on backhoes.. but the backhoes wouldn&#8217;t fit into the basement so everyone felt safe. So all the people had to do was bob around on their floating mushrooms and wave at each other all day. . Isn&#8217;t that bizzare <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span>?&nbsp; <span style=\"\">Why <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">forest people<\/span> ?&nbsp; <\/span>Does anyone out there do dream analysis ?

I took Gabe to school then worked at home till mid morning then went into work. It was raining\/misting this morning and the snow is melting quickly.. We still have as much as a foot in some places of the yard\u2026 but there are bare spots showing all around. The melting snow reveals all sorts of things that had been covered up\u2026 tools, sleds\u2026 and if you&#8217;re a dog owner\u2026\u2026 Let&#8217;s don&#8217;t go there..<span style=\"\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span>With all this snow still on the ground It&#8217;s hard imagining that 5 days ago I was in 80 degree weather in <st1:city><st1:place>Sydney<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>..<span style=\"\">&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span>I can see spring on the way, though.
