Last night I watched Geostorm and took note of the surname of Andy Garcia’s character, Palma, … an addition the “Palm in Surname” pattern cluster, noted in my previous post:
I also noted that a notable person who recently passed away has “Palm” in their name, … AND, the heel of the palm is used to play the bongo:
Heel of the hand: The lower part of your palm rests against the edge of the drum, acting as an anchor or muting device.
As well, on following the leads for yesterdays post, Redacted … Silver Bullet Method, a notable person crops up who has the word “palm” in his surname:
Brian Russell De Palma (born September 11, 1940)And as for the notable person who passed away recently who has “Palm” in his name:
Dee Palmer (David Palmer; 2 July 1937 – c. 13 June 2026) musician (Jethro Tull)
And so the surname Palma cropping up is an addition to the “Timely” pattern cluster, and the now “Palm in Surname(x3)” pattern cluster. Note as well the “De” and “Dee” in their names, and note the etymology:
de Latin adverb and preposition of separation in space, meaning "down from, off, away from," and figuratively "concerning, by reason of, according to;" from PIE demonstrative stem *de- (see to)
This is a twin heads upp— a prompt to consider the cryptic meaning of “palms down” (see below information on researching the meaning of palms down— typically, the palms down is used to show power and authority. The 🫳 palm down emoji typically means:
… used in texting to dismiss an idea, reject someone, or instruct them to drop a topic.
- Andy GarcÃa (Andrés Arturo GarcÃa Menéndez (born April 12, 1956) as US President Palma

- Jeremy Ray Taylor (born June 2, 2003) as Emmett
- Billy Slaughter (born June 3, 1980) as Karl Dright
- Mare Winningham (born May 16, 1959) as Dr. Cassandra Jennings

Rim Knocks (Cascara): Strike the wooden or metal rim of the bongos using your knuckles, fingers, or a drumstick.The Slap: Cup your fingers slightly and strike the bearing edge. After contact, quickly relax and bounce your hand off the head to produce a loud, sharp, and high-pitched "pop".The Heel-Tip: Rest the heel of your hand on the edge of the drum, then rock your hand forward so your fingertips tap the skin. This rocking motion creates an alternating pattern of deep bass and sharp treble notes
The Open Tone: Strike the outer edge of the drumhead with the padded area of your fingers and let your hand immediately bounce off. This produces a clear, ringing, and highly resonant sound The Muted Tone: Strike the edge of the drum but leave your fingers resting flat on the drumhead instead of bouncing them off. This muffles the vibration, creating a shorter, drier, and more punchy thud.
Glissando (Slide): Press the thumb or third finger down on the center of the drumhead and drag it across the skin. This creates a "talking drum" growl or sliding pitch effect.
You can even make a Lions Roar with the bongo drum!!
The first one “Rim Knocks”, brought to mind the fact that when you knock on a door, it’s usually with a rhythmic 3 knocks. This reminds me of the song “knock three times”, and on perusing the songs wiki page, one notable person mentioned stands out, Billy "Crash" Craddock. It was the “Crash”,… you may have noticed that I refer to my “car crash of 2000”, I don’t say “accident”, … butt now generally use the word “crash”,… because it was NOT an accident, butt the strategic design influence of the inner twin world. Note from his wiki page:
Billy Wayne "Crash" Craddock (born June 16, 1939)
TODAY is his birthday!! AND, that was no coincidence or synchronicity, butt in this case, another addition to the “Timely” pattern cluster!!!
Another thing I realized on researching the bongo beats, is that they refer to the “drumhead”… remember two notable persons recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site have the surname “Head”!!
Sarah “Sally” Daphne Head (20 February 1947 – 18 May 2026) Anthony Head (20 February 1954 – 5 June 2026) actor (… Ted Lasso).
And note as well, they have the same birthday!!
Also jiving with the beat theme, are these two notables also recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site:
- Beatrice Lumpkin (Shapiro; Aug 3, 1918 – June 15, 2026) 107, union organizer, activist
- Beatriz Pardi (6 June 1942 – 9 June 2026) São Paulo MLA
Helen Beatrix Heelis (née Potter; 28 July 1866 – 22 December 1943)as Beatrix Potter
It’s the “Heel” in her surname Heelis!! Another addition to the recent “Heel” pattern cluster … AND, the “heel” of the palm used in bongo drumming.
Hmm, Lumpkin, Lampkin… Limpkin?!

- Handshakes: Offering a hand with the palm facing down during a handshake is widely understood in social dynamics as a display of dominance, control, or an attempt to establish hierarchical superiority.[1]
- Conversational Gestures: Politicians and public speakers frequently use assertive, downward-facing hand gestures to appear strong, stop interruptions, or forcefully make a point. [1, 2]
- Beckoning: In many Asian and European countries, you can beckon someone to come over using a downward-facing palm with a scratching finger motion—the opposite of the North American "come here" finger-up gesture. [1]
- The Naval Salute: In certain military branches, like the British Royal Navy, the standard salute is performed with the palm facing down. This tradition was adopted because sailors historically had dirty, tar-covered hands that were deemed disrespectful to show to commanding officers.
