God, I know what it is. If I could just remember it. Salt. What is it about salt? Salt has something to do with it. Sodium chloride. NaCl. What is about salt? Am I supposed to create some kind of solution that uses salt? I tried that already. Nothing happened. Is it not yet time? Salt. Salt. Salt. Salt. Salt water, of course, is seawater. But that is not it by itself. That is not what I need to recall. I don't know. Maybe, again, I don't have to actually construct anything. Maybe I am just supposed to remember something.

I have reached the point in the series finale episodes of the "Battlestar Galactica" television series DVD collection where those final five "Cylons" all stick their hands into what I just heard them describe as a conductive solution so they can all transfer the code in their "Cylon" minds into a collective work that will give the other "Cylons" the program code to the "Resurrection" technology.
when I was thinking hard about salt and what secret is connected to it. I even poured a heaping of salt into a bowl and then I filled that bowl with warm water

I noted a while back that I had started watching again that DVD collection but then I quit after or thereabouts that last time I brought it up in my online blog. Tonight, or this morning, I decided to just pick up those final episodes and watch those
I started with unaired extended version of "Islanded in a Stream of Stars" and then the unaired extended version of the final episode.
I find those people that work in that production of "Battlestar Galactica" more objectionable every time I see them.

I don't know. Maybe it happens when I am sleeping. The sound startles me awake and I get up to find the source of the noise, thinking they are flooding me out again, which is something I dread every time I think of it.

In the 1994 film "Timecop" "Atwood" is sitting at his desk and he seems to hear that "Walker" is about to appear in his office. Something seems to alert him that "Walker" is about to appear but when ever I watch that film on television I am never really just what alerts him to the appearance of "Walker." The scene establishes that "Atwood" is alert before the form of "Walker" even begins to appear.

So now I have the thought that I will not be asleep when the door next appears because I am supposed to watch it appear, at least for the first time.

Look at how that works out. The name "Atwood" is also that street name I noted at that former First Federal building where I "remember" working in Greenville SC. The building is at the corner of Academy and College. A street just as close as Atwood is, I think without looking it up again, named Barrett. I think it is connected to Central. The premiere date is the same as "Princess Caraboo."
From 3/3/2003 ( ) To 10/30/2004 ( ) is 607 days
From 7/16/1963 ( my wife ) To 3/14/1965 ( ) is 607 days
The date 30 October 2004 is on the USA Today newspaper that "Atwood" has apparently brought back with him as he time travels to that office building in 1930 where he was as a stock trader. I wonder if my memories of working at Microsoft Charlotte in 1995 are real or converted or who the hell knows what they are.
From 1/19/1976 ( Public Law 94-479, General Of The Armies ) to 10/30/2004 ( fictional date setting of USA Today newspaper in 1994 movie "Timecop" ) is: 10512 days
10512 = 5256 + 5256
From 3/3/1959 ( my birth date US ) to 7/23/1973 ( I passed the Multistate Bar Examination ) is: 5256 days
From 7/2/1976 ( I intercepted the comet in the outer solar system and set to work at diverting it ) to 10/30/2004 ( fictional date setting of USA Today newspaper in 1994 movie "Timecop" ) is: 10347 days
10347 = 1 + 5173 + 5173
From 3/3/1959 ( my birth date US ) to 5/1/1973 ( my graduation from University of Oxford includes law degree ) is: 5173 days

The former First Federal building has Academy on its east side. College Street runs along its north side and separates it with that library and museum section to the north. On that north side, Atwood Street is a short distance to the northwest and towards the former First Federal building, Marshall Avenue ends and Atwood Street on the west end and Barret Street on the east end. Barrett Street runs north and south and ends after a short distance at Central Avenue which also curves around and ends on its west side on Marshall Avenue.

After I made that last entry, the song with the lyrics "Do you do you want my love" ended on FM 102.5 KZOK and the radio announcer was announcing the groups that would play after the advertisement break and he closed with, "You know, all the good stuff."
1985 film "Back to the Future" DVD video:
Marty McFly: Tell her destiny brought you together. Tell her that she is the most beautiful girl you have ever seen in the world. Girls like that stuff. What - What are you doing, George?
George McFly: I'm writing this down. This is good stuff.

Sodium
Sodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na (from Latin: natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal and is a member of the alkali metals; its only stable isotope is 23Na. It is an abundant element that exists in numerous minerals such as feldspars, sodalite and rock salt. Many salts of sodium are highly soluble in water and are thus present in significant quantities in the Earth's bodies of water, most abundantly in the oceans as sodium chloride.
Sodium is an essential element for all animals and some plants. In animals, sodium ions are used against potassium ions to build up charges on cell membranes, allowing transmission of nerve impulses when the charge is dissipated
Sodium at standard temperature and pressure is a soft metal that can be readily cut with a knife and is a good conductor of electricity.
History
Salt has been an important commodity in human activities, as shown by the English word salary, which derives from salarium, the wafers of salt sometimes given to Roman soldiers along with their other wages.
