Buildings Burn, People Die Storyboard Shirt

 

Now, open your eyes and without moving your head ( just your eyes), see 5 things. It will be hard in the Buildings Burn, People Die Storyboard Shirt, but you will probably see a light on a smoke detector, maybe the edge of a door frame, a little light coming through, a window, etc. After you have seen 5 things, now close your eyes and without moving at all, HEAR 5 things. This may take a while and you really need to concentrate. You can’t count the same sound twice. What I hear usually is crickets outside, (maybe not at Christmastime) a dog barking in the far off distance, a car going by, the house settling, the furnace blowing, maybe a toilet flushing. You must be very quiet and listen carefully. You will be suprised what you hear. Now if you are still awake, without moving, feel 5 things. This is not as hard as you might think. You feel your head on the pillow, you feel your hands on the sheets, you feel your pajamas on your body, you even feel your tongue touching the inside of your mouth. If you get through all these things and you are still awake, start back at seeing 5 things and repeat; see 5 things, hear 5 things, feel five things. I have only been able to get to the end twice.

On most weekends I head off into the woods or go fishing. For a The Kentucky Derby Celebrating 150 Years Shirt as densely populated as New Jersey, we have done a good job of protecting wide swaths of forests and swamps. Cool areas to explore. There are many rugged and beautiful hiking trails. My out of state friends who have visited and hiked with me repeat over and over “I can’t believe this is New Jersey”. They have visions of the NJ Turnpike corridor with refineries, warehouses and factories, etc. and the idea that there are wild, beautiful and rugged areas in New Jersey surprises them . The fishing can be incredible, whether bass fishing on lakes, or trout fishing on streams. There are backcountry streams where you can still find native strain wild trout. I can go out for breakfast and have real bagels. Not what most of the country thinks are bagels. They are not simply round bread with a hole in it. We get the chewy, dense and delicious concoctions which are hard to find out of the NJ/NYC area.
