What is funny (I guess you had to be there), is how I felt waking up today.
Now, many hours later without sleeping, I have randomly watched this episode just now, rarely having the tv on during the day
Yesterday, I watched, mostly listened to the dialog, the preceding episodes in the series and got several ideas for blog-posts, that I may or may not complete and post here, as much as I want to.
There is definitely no sort of physical rejuvenation happening to me. Thoughts in my head tell me contradictions. That I will discover magical rejuvenation of my health. That I must reach end of life, probably by ageing out, before I know what this all was created for (of which none of the people documented as part of the productions knew anything about the secret reason behind it all).
I absolutely reject the fairy-tale "afterlife" that all you monkeys out there are so desperate to believe in your pathetic wishful-thinking, *because* you are so cowardly terrified of mortality.

Maybe this is why I woke up this morning feeling compelled to look for something associated with "Howard." My primary objective was to find a Howard Bridge, which there is one in Tampa, but then I didn't think that was it.
Then I started thinking about Howard County, where Dierks Lake is located, but nothing really satisfied my curiosity there.
Then I started looking closer at Burke-class DDG's but didn't find anything new there. Still feel the urge to look for more though.

I can’t get her out of my head, Sam. I think I’ve made a big mistake.
CARTER
You’re not serious.
DANIEL
I am.
CARTER
You have a wife.
DANIEL
Had. Had a wife. Come on, seriously. How long am I supposed to wait? Even if I find Sha're one day, what are the chances she’ll ever be the same again?
CARTER
Look, your endorphin level was through the roof when we came back. And now you’re coming down off of it. The effects of the sarcophagus are like a narcotic Daniel.
DANIEL
Yeah, that makes you smarter, stronger, you live for hundreds of years, feel great. What the hell is so wrong with it?
CARTER
I think it’s partly what makes the Goa’uld as bad as they are.
DANIEL
How?
CARTER
Who knows. It’s Goa’uld technology Daniel. Maybe it’s healing affects alter your brain chemistry. Increased adrenaline, the hormones that make you more aggressive and irrational. Pyrus probably used to be a decent man. Look at yourself. It’s like you need a fix. You’ve only used it a few times and already it’s changed you.
DANIEL
We can’t just leave it there. We have to study it.
CARTER
We can’t go back either.
DANIEL
Well I’m going.
CARTER
She used us to get you addicted.

excerpts, Chapter 13
He slept better that night than he had since they had brought him here. And he had an extremely vivid dream. He had always dreamed a great deal—his wife had complained about him thrashing and muttering in his sleep—but he had never had a dream like this.
He was standing on a country road, at the precise place where the black hottop gave up to bone-white dirt. A blazing summer sun shone down. On both sides of the road there was green corn, and it stretched away endlessly. There was a sign, but it was dusty and he couldn’t read it. There was the sound of crows, harsh and far away. Closer by, someone was playing an acoustic guitar, fingerpicking it. Vic Palfrey had been a picker, and it was a fine sound.
This is where I ought to get to, Stu thought dimly. Yeah, this is the place, all right.
What was that tune? “Beautiful Zion”? “The Fields of My Father’s Home”? “Sweet Bye and Bye”? Some hymn he remembered from his childhood, something he associated with full immersion and picnic lunches. But he couldn’t remember which one.
Then the music stopped. A cloud came over the sun. He began to be afraid. He began to feel that there was something terrible, something worse than plague, fire, or earthquake. Something was in the corn and it was watching him. Something dark was in the corn.
He looked, and saw two burning red eyes far back in the shadows, far back in the corn. Those eyes filled him with the paralyzed, hopeless horror that the hen feels for the weasel. Him, he thought. The man with no face. Oh dear God. Oh dear God no.
Then the dream was fading and he awoke with feelings of disquiet, dislocation, and relief. He went to the bathroom and then to his window. He looked out at the moon. He went back to bed but it was an hour before he got back to sleep. All that corn, he thought sleepily. Must have been Iowa or Nebraska, maybe northern Kansas. But he had never been in any of those places in his life.
