While sitting in my chair smoking a pipe today I actually thought of this...If you go to one side of the ocean the waves are coming into shore..If you go to the other side of that same ocean the waves are coming into shore..Does this mean that some where in the middle of that ocean there's a spot where waves divide and go separate directions?..I'm really Bored.

Yes This phenomenon is also true for islands. From the interweb: "As the sea floor approaches the shore it rises and depth decreases. The shallower the water, the slower the wave speed. ... The result is that most waves near the shore will eventually wind up heading nearly perpendicular to the shore no matter what direction they were traveling in initially." |

Folks who are born deaf, but gain their hearing later in life, often say they really thought the sun would make noise.
You know why the sun doesn't make noise? Because sound is a wave, not a particle, and a wave needs a medium through which to pass. Can't have a water wave without water, can't have a sound wave without air molecules (or metal or water etc, sound travels through those too).
You know how loud the sun would be if there was air between us? About 125 decibels. A jackhammer comes in at about 120 dB.
Yay no air.

My dad, who passed away in 1981, used to tell me; “like many, trust few, learn to paddle your own canoe”. I’ve been contemplating that lately. Hmmm...

can't recall ever being totally bored. Lately, wife's health issues keep me active, am physically active considering all, allways reading material. Maybee cause I'm fairly close to 80. Deciding on a daytime snoozie however, is never far away

Ya gotta go through life like a mule eatin' a bale of hay. If you come to a briar, dont throw a fit. Just eat around it and keep goin'". |

Here's some Boredom Thoughts:
1. You'll drown if you can't swim, but after you die, you'll float.
2. The history on your calculator is probably more humiliating than the history on your phone.
3. We used to TP our enemies' house.
4. 'Do Not Cross' police lines are only shown on TV when they're being crossed.
5. If you can't look back at your younger self and realize you were an idiot, you're probably still an idiot.
6. As much as you use your phone these days, you never use it in a dream.
7. Your brain taught itself how to talk to itself.
8. The world might be full of despair and broken promises, but it's also full of brightly colored poisonous frogs.
9. When you ask for someone's name, you're essentially asking them what noise you need to make to get their attention.
10. When you're drinking beer, the beer is getting drunk, too.
11. There's about 20 billion calories in a gram of uranium, which makes it the second best reason not to eat uranium.
12. When I was young, I really thought quicksand would be a bigger problem than it has been.

Isn’t it something to think back on those in our life that have passed on. My family from Germany and England. My mom who passed away in July of 2019 at age 91, that’s some stuff to think about. Those who have influenced me in my life, hmmm. Maybe not thoughts based upon boredom but good stuff to think about and remember during this difficult time in the world. Who have I influenced in my life, what are some good things I have done... My dad dying when I was 19. Life stuff right?

This is Boredom Fantasy.
Doctors and researchers discover pipe smokers and some cigar smokers are immune
to Covid-19.
FDA announcers need to relax current laws and ramp up production of pipe tobacco immediately!
Government to give free money to farmers to grow tobacco.
President forces McClelland to resume production immediately.
Ok, now it it’s turning in to a wet dream.😝

Loaded for bear:
Stockpiled in the sense of bearing a large amount of weight, or like a loaded bigass gun for the possibility of a bear attack? Both would fit the circumstance.
