1. I miss playing SimCity 4 by Maxis. I love that game. I have been buying their product since the first version. I hope in SimCity 5 they bring back the terrain editor that allows adjustment on a tile-by-tile basis. That diametrical tool is interesting, but I prefer a finer control over the terrain because I can better sculpt lakes and beaches. I am also hoping they add to the next version the ability to drive through the city in the point of view of a person in the game. I think SimCopter did something like that but I never tried that game. Lately I've been thinking of a new way to lay out a city structure for one of the mega-sized plots. On one edge, maybe the longest, I'll lay down a zone of Industrial and let it run the whole lenght. I set the tax rates to the maximum for the two polluters so I only get High Tech companies. It doesn't bring in as much revenue as the heaviest polluter, but pollution is light and then I can put high-density residential next to it and have it reach a greater potential. I am also thinking more about those dual-lane city streets. I've tried using the highway structures through the city, but I don't see much value to it, unless I put down a lot of them and then they take up a lot of space that could be generating revenue. Typically, I put down 6x6 blocks of Tech Industry, hi-density residential, and high-density commerical, with two-lane streets around them. I always leave a 3-tile section empty and one corner of the 6x6 block for a bus station, a subway station, and a single tile park. What I'm thinking of doing is putting down the dual-lane road around every 2x2 block of those 6x6 blocks. I've looked at putting down the monorail but that just takes up too much space and I don't like the way it messes up the symmetry. It's too bad the track doesn't share space with a road, maybe only the dual-lane road, in that the track occupies the median. So anyway, I start at the edge and run tech all the way. Then I put down a 6x6 block of high-density residental, maybe with a dual-lane between them, not sure how the symmetry would work out yet. So, from the edge, I have a 6x6 strip of high-tech, then a 6x6 strip of high-density residential. Then I would allow for at least 4 empty tiles for hospitals, schools, etc. I may need to make it 6 tiles, but I'm not sure. Then I would put down another 6x6 strip of high-density residential and then a 6x6 strip of high-density commercial. The cool part about this is that I could then put down another 6x6 strip of high-density commercial and just sort of mirror the three previous sections. With this wide section of commerce, I would have space to put in the rewards elements so that they wouldn't have an adverse impact on my residential sections. I think high-tech industry is equivalent to residential in terms of nimby/yimby. I'm not sure how the dual-lane roads would work out as I am laying out the strips from left to right, but it would be simple to put them down while going up and down, probably with two 6x6 blocks between them. When I am getting the city started, I would put down a lot of the heavy polluters on the left hand side and run them up that side, while running my residential and commerce to the right and away from the pollution. After I raise the taxes to maximum, the polluters will stay in operation as long as something doesn't happen such as losing power and some kind of destruction.

3. I've got a lot of ideas I want to work on with ASP.Net that I can't do now. I can't do it for two big reasons. One, I have absolutely no control over who is monitoring my work. There are many reasons I don't like that. One, is that I don't like people looking over my shoulder as I am trying to work.

Details about my recent sleep are very fuzzy today. Can't remember for sure when I woke up. 3 am maybe. Or maybe shortly after midnight, can't really remember as I usually can. Remember dreaming something about driving my Jeep. Then I returned to it where it was parked in a parking lot after I was traveling through some passageways, hallways in a transit facility maybe. The only part I remember clearly is where a woman, I assume was my imaginary girlfriend asked me out for drinks or something. I told her we needed to keep it really casual though because all I had to wear was sweatpants. Kind of the downside to dating a homeless person I reflect now as I write this. She told me she would wear something with holes in it. I hope that was her in my dream, although the woman in the dream seemed to be someone unfamilar though. But I have noticed that happening with other people I know. They are represented, somehow, by a different person, but I think of them as someone specific. I feel like that is part of the manipulation. I have noticed something similar in real dreams, but I don't think it is the same here. I think they are disquising themselves in my dream for some reason. Anyway, if it really was her, she actually doesn't have to worry about dressing down if we were to go out. Of course, if I have my way, it would be a moot point because why would I want to go out with her when I am in such an ugly situation? At the minimum, I would want to be back to work so that I have regained some independence. And hey, next time you are in my dreams, dear imaginary girlfriend, how about wearing a bikini? Red would be good, or yellow maybe. That would be sweet!

Star constellations
I wasn't going to write about a dream I just before waking up and getting out of bed but I was later in the shower and I started thinking about a possible explanation for the star pattern I saw in my dream and so I decided to write about that part and to try to write the least about the rest of the dream as I could, which I feel compelled to not write about for no real reason.
The compelling part about the dream is the pattern of stars I saw. The dream seems to have started with me and I was out in the woods somewhere and the light was dark and I had some kind of ability to radiate laser beams from my fingers or somehow create laser beams. As I think more about that as I write this now I thing again that I did not actually see the laser beams but I am vaguely aware that I could see the patterns I created on people with the laser beams. The notion of the laser beam is never really visually established in the dream but that is a notion that is strongly in my mind after waking up. The last thing I seemed to do with my laser beam power was that I saw myself form a pattern of stars on the ground to my left. The power seemed to stop working at that point. I also found my puzzled about how there were five stars in my creation when I expected only four. Since I was wearing those stars on the epaulet on my black jacket then I was thinking of how the United States Marine Corps has never had a five star general officer and I don't think the USMC should ever have a five star general officer.
What I puzzled about was how the pattern of those stars did not seem consistent with how an officer of the United States military would wear a five-star pattern on his uniform. I seemed to be wearing the winter working dress uniform of the United States Navy. What was unusual was how one of the stars was set away from the other four stars.
When I was in the shower and was thinking about that visualization in my mind of those stars that I had created on the ground and then was wearing my shoulder, on the black jacket that is the type United States Navy sailors used to refer to as the "Eisenhower" jacket, I wondered if that pattern was supposed to represent the star constellation we call the Big Dipper.
Ah, yes. That has got to be it. Just now as I wrote that word "Big Dipper" I remember dialog that happened soon later that is consistent with that notion.
So going back to what I was thinking as I decided to write this note, I thought about how my visualization of the star pattern did not match the Big Dipper very well. But then I started to wonder if I was seeing the pattern of the Big Dipper while I was standing on a planet or moon that circled a star that was very distant from our planet Earth.
I keep thinking of reasons why that all could be just a normal dream. But maybe it is not.
After my laser beam power stopped working, I saw some of the people I had been forming laser beam patterns on and they were all getting into cars and leaving in a long procession of army-type vehicles. They all seemed to be from World War 2. I noted the color pattern of one of the vehicles but I cannot think of any comment to make about it.
Then I seemed to be a sentry on a hill in downtown Seattle Washington. I was aware that I was totally alone in my role. I was also aware I was wearing a United States military uniform but I cannot visualize any details about it from the dream. I was there for a long time. Some kind of conflict started among a few local people that had walked up and I was trying to stay out of it.

Chapter 2
The next morning the youth discovered that his tall comrade had been the fast-flying messenger of a mistake. There was much scoffing at the latter by those who had yesterday been firm adherents of his views, and there was even a little sneering by men who had never believed the rumor. The tall one fought with a man from Chatfield Corners and beat him severely.
The youth felt, however, that his problem was in no wise lifted from him. There was, on the contrary, an irritating prolongation. The tale had created in him a great concern for himself. Now, with the newborn question in his mind, he was compelled to sink back into his old place as part of a blue demonstration.
For days he made ceaseless calculations, but they were all wondrously unsatisfactory. He found that he could establish nothing. He finally concluded that the only way to prove himself was to go into the blaze, and then figuratively to watch his legs to discover their merits and faults. He reluctantly admitted that he could not sit still and with a mental slate and pencil derive an answer. To gain it, he must have blaze, blood, and danger, even as a chemist requires this, that, and the other. So he fretted for an opportunity.
