I have a collection of Astounding/Analog magazines reaching back to the late 40s, although I don't have every issue. I have been rereading them, and really enjoying rediscovering forgotten gems. Read a 1952 article by Willy Ley on how fireworks were made. I generally skip the science articles, but I have a fondness for Ley, because as a child I had a large format picture book on rocketry that he wrote. By the time I left home it had pretty much fallen apart.

I had a long, weird, and complex dream. Strangest part, I was sitting at a table and holding a huge cup of water. Probably at least 24 oz. It slipped out of my hands and fell in my lap and I woke with a jerk. And then there was the part where I was worshiping at the feet of a strange Stone God that looked like a cross between a bear and an elephant. It woke up/came to life, and insisted that I go with it on a ride into other dimensions. Like this was a usual thing it did with everybody who came across it. We eventually returned unharmed, and there was a group of my friends, as natural as can be, packing a cooler for a trip.
