Writer's Block: The truth is out there ...

Neither, and neither. Unlike the majority, it seems, I think UFOs/other weird stuff is a legitimate interest that doesn't necessarily say anything about the interested party's sanity or lack thereof.

Having said this, there are a lot of whackos into The Weird who get a lot more press and are a lot more "interesting" from a tabloid journalism POV than people who have a cautious, skeptical interest.

Full disclosure: I'm one of the skeptically interested. I don't think it's ALL made up, but I do think a lot of the things seen (particularly near military bases) are either mistakes or the government's super-secret stuff. Large bureaucracies aren't great, it seems, at keeping secrets, so it makes sense to me that slip ups where the tech shows up in front of civilians can and do occur.

And yeah, I think the U.S. govt. probably is interested in unidentified aerial phenomena, or at least were during the Cold War - it would be foolish from a political/military standpoint not to be. I rather suspect that instead of some grand coverup conspiracy it's more likely that world governments don't know any more than the public does.

I do think both UFO "believers" and avid debunkers are both often too enamored with their own conclusions to look at the subject rationally.

So, do y'all think that I'M visionary or bonkers? Or both? :P

Part of the reason I don't wear jewelry more is that I have a "uniform" set that I always wear:

• Wedding ring - even while asleep
  
  
• Engagement ring - when I'm not sleeping (tried once, scratched my face) or fencing (Badger pointed out that even though it's my off hand I still risk losing the stone from a random off-target touch). Both of these on left ring finger.
  
  
• Watch - every day, even weekends. I only take it off at bedtime and when I want to lose track of time, because guaranteed, without it, I will. Left wrist.
  
  
• College graduation ring - just got it back from resizing and even though I was without for almost a month my hand still felt weird without it. Right ring finger.
  
  
• Love knot silver bangle - From D. as an anniversary gift a couple of years ago. In addition to sentimental reasons it's pretty and goes with everything.
  

What do you wear every day?
