OPEN POST: Riverdale Road

By

If you've ever clicked on one of those listicles about urban myths from different US states, no doubt you've heard about...RIVERDALE ROAD...in Colorado near Denver.

There's all sorts of legends about this actually quite lovely and scenic road. Jogger ghost, burned down mansion, portals to hell, etc. The usual. You can read more in this 9news article.

If you do read the article, the quote from the local law enforcement about the lack of verification for any of these stories will, maybe, stand out to you. Want to know why?

Because it's not haunted. I don't care what the so-called ghost hunter says in the article. This all started from an acquaintance of mine being an idiot.

The Satanic Panic that started in the 80s was still well underway in the mid 90s, when said acquaintance and a friend decided to scare their girlfriends by painting satanic symbols all over an abandoned barn and chicken coop and then bringing their girlfriends out there. Eventually, it ended up on the local news, and ever since the legend has grown.

The scariest thing about Riverdale Road is it's dark and curvy, and makes it pretty easy to get into a car accident if you're not used to driving it. So if you're touristing in that area, I recommend going during the day. Not because ghosts, but because curves.

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Take a Breath, Why Don't Ya?

Lots of holiday rigamarole commences next week, so if you can, carve out an hour or so today just for you . If you're lucky enough to have a puddytat, observe their silliness and play with them; if you have a dog, take them for a walk or to a dog park. And if you're bereft of furry creatures, take yourself for a walk, stop at a cafe, and drink a hot cup of joe or a cocoa - but without looking at your phone. Just sip, clear your mind, and do some Cyclic Breathing. Have you ever tried it? It's my favorite breathing technique: inhale deeply through your nose, follow immediately with a second breath (you can do it), hold it all in for a sec, then very slowly exhale through your mouth. Repeat several times. The slooooow exhale is what makes it so very relaxing, I promise. Cyclic Breathing is different from other breathing-type exercises because it involves a double inhalation and a long, even audible exhale.  But, hey, whatever brings you a few moments of peace today is worth do...
