Okay, so my references to geometric logic and strawberries was a bit oblique. Here’s a clue. If you still don’t get it, I highly recommend the movie (or the book).
July 26, 2024, I was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. On July 28, while still an in-patient, I experienced two distinct and profound hallucinations. The first occurred around 11:00, as I was receiving a test (exactly which type I don’t recall). An announcement sounded from a rommmate’s TV that Iran had launched nuclear missiles at the US. I wanted to tell the nurse giving me the test to stop. I was amazed she didn’t hear the announcement. A roommate was shouting about it, and still she continued.
