• Dreamed of exploring an old, recently-abandoned NJ home. Sections of the house had fallen clean over, with no walls to separate the inside and outside. The recently-gone residents had all their stuff still present, revealing clues of their interests (chemistry) and clean organizational standards.

• Started The Hype About Hydrogen: False Promises and Real Solutions In the Race to Save The Climate by Joseph J. Romm.

• Dreamed of wandering a new, 1960s-style, over-scaled New Jersey shopping landscape. The parking lot was surrounded by rows of towering malls stretched to the horizons. The store logos looked fun in a '60s way, while a repeating pattern of signs next to them warned: "NO LURKING". Did that mean me?
