POLICELOGS Ideal weather of the kind for which this section is fa- mous, contributed to the pleasure of Thanksgiving observance in Red Bluff. There were many quiet home gatherings where friends and relatives from other places were enter- tained for the day. IN the forenoon, from 11 to 12 o'clock, union Thanks- giving services were held at the Baptist church, Rev. Homer A. McCarty, pastor of the Christian church, be- ing the chief speaker. Ser- vices were also conducted at Sacred Heart Catholic church, and St. Peter's Epis- copal church. — Nov. 28, 1924 90 YEARS AGO... Va ri ou s ch ur ch es of Red Bluff observe day of Thanksgiving As a partner in the Red Bluff Area Office of the Cal- ifornia Highway Patrol's CHiPs For Kids Toy Drive, M&M Ranch House is of- fering a 10 percent discount on your meal ticket all day Saturday in exchange for a new, unwrapped toy. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and din- ner and is at 645 Antelope Blvd. # 1 across from the fairgrounds. DONATION Restaurant offers discount for toy drive donation One characteristic I appreciate about Chris- topher Nolan's directo- rial style is that he respects the audi- ence's in- telligence. While so many mov- ies are recy- cled sequels or targeted to drunken partiers, it's refreshing to find a filmmaker who thinks more of his view- ers, rather than less. So I recently ponied up a wad of cash to go to the cin- ema (I even paid night- time rates!) and watched a heady sci-fi flick called "Interstellar." No spoiler alerts, but the butler did it. (Just joking.) Anyway, to sum up the film in the space I'm allotted in this col- umn would be nearly as improbable as some of the concepts out- lined in the story. Yet the main gist involves Mat- thew McConaughey and crew seeking out a new planet for humanity to call home via multi-di- mensional, time-shifting space travel. I warned you: heady. If you're into sci-fi, it's a great use of three- hours and, with the ex- ception of some doubts I share with astrophysi- cist/celeb Neil deGrasse Tyson about travelling through black holes, the story is tight. (Of course, I'm pretty sure Mr. Ty- son is not even aware that we share said con- cerns, but I'm certain he'd be delighted by my support.) Anyhoo, I bring this to the conversation be- cause the story reminded me that — although not as extremely as are the characters in the film — we're all moving through time. For us however, it's limited to one direction and we are not given the ability to jump dimen- sions and re-chart former decisions we now regret. Moreover, since the new year is rapidly ap- proaching and January is ground zero for us to be inundated with re- minders to make resolu- tions, I am jumping the gun to share a unique take on how to create that new you. Every year well-in- tended folks who espouse resolutions tell us to fo- cus on positive actions, such as "I will go to bed at 10" or "I will use less salt." Equally true, every year, somewhere north of 80 percent of people give up on their goals within their first three weeks. Something is obviously off-kilter. That system is flawed because, firstly, "If you don't know where you're going, how will you know you've arrived?" In other words, how can I be sure I've changed if I don't have a spe- cific, solid, clear image of what that transforma- tion looks like? Resolv- ing something like, "I will stress less," "I'll ex- ercise more," or "I'll fol- low my diet;" are all fine and good, but too vague. After all, if I smile one extra time come January, does that mean I'm "hap- pier" or if I take an ad- ditional walk, do I get to check off the box: "More exercise"? A better way to accom- plish goals is to start by asking yourself, "Sup- pose I had already be- come the Me I want to be, what would my life look like?" As an exam- ple, my Future Me would eat smaller portions in a more conscious manner; cut off late night binges; focus more on complet- ing tedious tasks; use less salt; drink more wa- ter; read more often; and go to bed earlier. Your Future You might or might not look simi- lar, but it's essential to picture him or her in as much detail as possible — and to do it often. Then, regularly pause "Current You" and ask of yourself: "If Future Me were here, what he or she be doing right now in these circumstances?" Next, ask yourself, "Am I doing that?" Should the answer be negative, adjust the present-day moment to match the future ver- sion of you. Ta-da! Sim- ple! What's cooler is, if you repeat this activity several times a day, even- tually your answer be- comes "Yes," more times than "No." In that in- stant, you realize that you've made the leap — and did so without Neil deGrasse Tyson question- ing how you arrived.
