168. "She had no rhythm."

Our skies grew dark while we played in the yard. My best friend's mother picked her up in a fast car... "Mt. Saint Helens blew!" - 2 volcano blasts a few millennia apart, compared today. Recent new science in AI tech, finds groundbreaking new data, literally, of philosopher Plato's last days. We've never heard any of this, burnt and buried in Herculaneum, 79 A.D. He had a few strong opinions, and his reported last words were... common. Hmm.

[I made 2 interchanges accidentally. Look for Washington state U.S. and Oregon state U.S. to be mixed up. Also, same thing about Mount Vesuvius and Mount Saint Helens. See if you can spot where! Pardon!]

**CORRECTION: I stated that Mt. Saint Helens blew in 1981. It was May 1980. 6 months off! Pardon. Pretty good ballpark, got in the region, for a 44-year-old memory.

POD DESCRIPTION:

This is The House on Valencia Street. This is a place where ghosts & psychics, with PTSD, exist, & I'm talking about it. Share time with a rare survivor, walking back to haunted rooms and space being claimed from long ago. This is from the survivor's perspective, communicated as I see fit, in a way that feels right, for me.

I do not offer advice here, I share what worked for me. I am not a professional therapist, this is just one case study, one perspective. Please seek professional help, if mental health issues need attention.

This podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only, and I am a commentator. USE YOUR DISCERNMENT. Language is explicit. Names may or may not be changed, to protect some. Content Warning: ghosts, psychic ability, rape, incest, foster care, murder, emancipation, BDSM, therapy, lightning strikes, personal responsibility, Buddhism, LGBTQIA+, recovery, codependency, comedy, domestic violence - and inappropriate humor, most likely.

Picture inset: This is me, so many years ago, standing in front of my mother's Impala, and the House on Valencia Street.
