How do you/I/we respond to a friend who has lost a loved one? It's hard for me and a lot of folks. Sometimes, we feel inadequate with our words, and most times, those words can sound phony when they are not meant to be.
Trust the sincerity of your friends in situations such as this.
Love you, my BFF <3

You being a writer I thought you might appreciate the right usage of the different spelling of the weather. proper
11:06 AM Mes sage from you,
I try to be accurate even on simple communiqués with friends, but I'm not without fault. Sometimes I have to fight the spell checker when it changes words on me without my knowledge; I did mean weather. I don't want this to sound pretentious but: I took a college class in Meteorology back in the '80s, not that I remember much, and it doesn't have anything to do with my spelling skills, but I passed with an A. It's nice to have a friend to share my life experiences. So, I have to ask you; do you want to be my editor of my books and short stories? 😇 Some day I would like to come visit you... maybe this fall if the planets align., Wednesday, July 3 2024, 11:06 AM.

I’ll agree with you on one point: the hate between the two groups has existed for many centuries. But, I rather stick with recent history and events because this is the here and now; this is the world in which we live now, not someplace in the distant past: Israel was invaded by a foreign country on October 7th, resulting in many innocent deaths (think of the 7th like Pearl Harbor).
This is what really got me pissed: The videos and photos of the attack at the Supernova music festival, where the young concert-goers ran up to greet the invader's gliders as they were landing, thinking the gliders were part of the festivities. These young folks got gunned down without remorse or pity.
This resulted in 346 young people from all parts of the world getting murdered as they tried to flee, with dozens kidnapped.

Long story short: The Mini-Split was working fine. I switched to my swamp cooler because Kelly's system was overwhelmed by the excessive heat. So, she is running off my bank of batteries that I was using for the mini-split; first year she needed help; that's how bad it is.
Swamp cooler= 200-300 watts
Mini-split= 900-1200 watts
That's a very long story... Here's the short of it:
Kelly is a disabled Army Vet. She was in an IED blast in Iraq that shattered her teeth and spine. Kelly needed a place to park her trailer for a short time, which ended up being 5 to 6 years.
It has nothing to do with sex or a relationship... It was just me helping a fellow Veteran get things together. I have helped other Vets in the same manner.
Unfortunately, Kelly's illness gradually became worse as time wore on.
I am not the type of person who would kick someone in a condition such as hers off my property. But I hope she moves soon... she's even talking more about moving to her 2.5 acres across the street.
Here's the kicker... She was in the California National Guard when 911 happened, and they federalized her into the Army; she gets blown up in Iraq, and the government unfederalized her and sent her back home; she gets no benefits from the VA, only state disability... the illegals get way more than she's getting.
Thursday 10- 117/86F Kelly and I drove to JT to get our meds and then went shopping at Aldi. They have low prices there, and their brand usually tastes pretty good.
Friday 11- 112/84
Saturday 12- 106/83 It was a little bit cooler today. I did my exercises, but it was still too hot for a run.
Somebody just tried to assassinate President Trump. I am following the news.
Sunday 14 89/81F- cloudy with rain.
Monday 15- 101/82F I did my stretches and exercises.
Tuesday 16- 107/83F I did my stretches. I babysat Kelly’s huge puppy while she went to the doctor. Because of the horrible heat outside, I had to keep the dogs inside. I took Cassie for a walk after Kelly picked up her dog call Gob.
Answer to a question as to which Palm Device is a good eReader:
I used my SJ22 for a few years reading ebooks; it was good until something happened to the Palm Reader, and I couldn't log on anymore. I didn't look into it because I purchased the first Kindel, and there was no going back from there...
That being said, I just checked my Dana, and it has a built-in Palm Reader, so you don't need to download the program. I didn't need to log into the reader. PDB is an e-book format for Palm OS devices. The reader takes up the whole screen, which is very large and easy to read. You can replace the old battery with 3 AAs; I put rechargeables in mine. Plus, it has a very nice keyboard. Now I'll find some .PDB eBooks to read. :) Yes, I'd check out the Dana for sure.
Wednesday 17- 107/82F I did my stretches.
Optimistically, I always try to remain optimistic, we could all come together someplace in the middle and have peace and discussions between the two groups.
Oh, I didn't vote for either candidate for president in 2016 because I felt both lacked the right stuff. I did vote for Trump in 2020 after seeing his performance; no one ever mentions the Abraham Accords. Look it up.
I am a Republican. I don't hate Democrats; some of my good friends are Democrats, and somehow, we get along; I have voted Democrat in the past when I thought the person running was more suitable for the job. I will not vilify people because of their political beliefs or unfriend them; that's stupid and un-American.
Right now, I have 469 friends on FaceBook when I came out and made it perfectly clear how I felt about the haters after the assassination attempt. Let me stress that the majority of Democrats are not haters; most are pleasantly reasonable.
I want to see how many haters unfriend me because I spoke my mind. It's their right to do so, and it's my right to share my opinions. This is still America, where we share a common history and the freedom to speak our minds and share our opinions without being prosecuted.
Peace

Thursday 18- 108/83F I did my stretches.
After days of study and weeks of worry, I took my DMV test and passed. Yay!!!!
Friday 19- 109/84F I did my all my stretches, pullup bars, punched the heavybag, and worked on the weightbench. Still too hot, and I’m too old to go for a jog in this heat. I honestly miss my daily jogs.
Saturday 111/85F I did my all my stretches, pullup bars, punched the heavybag, and worked on the weightbench.
Writing stories and poems, you eventually arrive at some deep awareness and flow that has been hidden from your conscious reality. This cerebral arrival sets free those creative ideas into the greater universe of thoughts and conceptions permeating the world of words.

While I was in the Army stationed in Germany, I remember seeing the Apolo 11 Astronauts for the first time while walking through the town of Ulm in my Army uniform. There was a little television shop, and people were gathered outside the window where a television was always on. I remember Hoss from Bonanza speaking German with a really deep voice on one visit to the city. I wanted to see what they were watching. I inched my way through the crowd to the front, and to my surprise, there was an Astronaut jumping around like a kangaroo on the surface of the Moon. What was strange to me was I didn’t even know we launched and landed on the Moon. I guess being in a foreign nation and not speaking their language, and also being on bivouac and away from any communications or news for a month in the Black Forest.
A few Germans shook my hand, and one lady gave me a big hug. I was mighty proud to be an American and serving my country.
Angela, you're damn straight it is hot. It has been hot for a month or two. Days and weeks without relief. I lived here for over 20 years and don't remember it being this hot for this long. I've been putting water stations around my property for the coyotes and other critters to drink out of... Hopefully, I saved a few of our high-desert friends.
I don’t want to win and I don’t want to lose. What I want is for everybody worked out together so both parties have a say.
we all live in retrospect of our youth
This be true, what be said, of lovely blossoms on the road that led, down the desert's rugged path, to smiling faces in the sand.
you know what cracks me up about the naysayers: They say it was fake because there are no stars in the dark sky...
Well, as you know, you won't see stars in daylight on the Moon, just as you won't see the stars in daylight on Earth. Silly people saying silly things they know nothing about.
I agree with you about the media dividing us. If we can not talk about the issues with one another, we will remain divided and doomed as a nation.
Several years ago, I posted my opinion on a political subject and was unfriended by six or seven people and canceled by a few others; that’s why I posted the number of FB friends, 469, in my post.
I am a Republican, and to some people, that's a hideous crime.
Back when Trump was President, we were telling our poems at Space Cowboy Books; I had to sit and listen to a myriad of anti-Trump poems if you can call them poems. I didn’t do one damn thing about it but sit there and take it; I was totally outnumbered.
Now, after the assassination attempt, I feel more emboldened to speak out.
I don’t care if people are Republican or Democrat; we all need to have a little respect for people and their feelings.

Tuesday 23- 109/86F Kelly and I went to the DMV so I could get my drivers license. We barely missed main part of a big storm cell on our way. I had to slow the car and come to a hault a few times when the dust from the storm made it so I couldn't see the car or the road in front of us. The car’s A/C went out when we went through a big puddle of muddy water, but worked once we lefe Burger King for home.
After the hassle of the DMV, we wen’t to collect our mail and went shopping at Staters and ate lunch at Burger King. We got back later than we hoped and the batteries were drained because we left the swamp coolers on to cool the dogs.
I know many of us stand on opposite sides of the political spectrum. This doesn't mean we can't remain as friends and colleagues. This is America, and we all must try to get along somehow in this age of distrust and division in our country. If we can only come together and discuss our differences, ignore the hate propagated by the media and others leading up to this election, and vote as Americans have done for over two hundred years, I believe we can hold our country together in the dangerous world in which we live.

Wednesday 24- 108/87F My system's voltage fell very low and I woke up to no fan and every thing was turned off when the inverter shut down sometime last night, probably early morning. Right now all I'm on to keep me cool is the fan while I let the batteries charge up. One of my controller's positive wires fell out... probably the copper expanded in the heat and when it got cooler it shrunk and then fell out.
I'm doing my best to keep both Kelly’s trailer and my home’s power going.
I can't remember it being this hot and maintaining the heat over this long a period. We went to 90F in the beginning of May and it just gets worse since.
Thursday 25- 110/85F I did all my stretches and most of exercises except jogging, way too hot for me. I had to break up my exercises into small bite size pieces over a period of several hours because of the heat.
I try not get involved in politics. I don’t like to debate because your opponent has already made up their mind. Sharing opinions is okay with me, but I optimistically wished they would do their research first before they post.
Happy Birthday Ami Ven!
I've been really busy of late. I am writing a couple of books, working on building my garden, and getting ready to move a trailer to the property I bought in Arizona. This should occur sometime in early August.
I stopped writing the column for our community that appeared in the Hi-Desert Star newspaper after a whole year. I had other things to do, and it didn't look like I was getting the support I needed from the community leaders. I have written the column in the past for 11 years, and the lady I passed it to wrote it for 10 years and just quit; that's when I took it over last year. I said to myself I'd do it for one year and then evaluate if I wanted to continue, which I didn't.
I'll get back to Livejournal once I get the trailer moved and return to Joshua Tree, CA.
It's been so hot here. In May, the heat started with temps over 90F and then climbed up to 118F or more during June and July. I can't even go outside in the daytime which hampers getting things done. The vegetables I planted all died a horrible death being toasted and cooked alive!
I hope you are doing well.
Bob
Coalesced: come together to form one mass or whole.
"the puddles had coalesced into shallow streams"
Cathartic: providing psychological relief through the open expression of strong emotions; causing catharsis. "crying is a cathartic release"
I’m always trying to improve myself on different subjects. I love astronomy. I love writing words for songs I play on guitar. I love arranging words into stories for the books I am writing.
Public speaking scares me to death; my self-esteem is lacking in this area, and I don't know how to overcome this yet. Otherwise, I am good to go.
Very nicely written, Seema!
I am just hearing about Ora's passing today. I have known Ora for many years since I first moved up here in '97. She was very active at that time with the Copper Mountain Mesa Community Association and the Copperetts doing the bingo dinners.
I remember one time she was driving on Winters Road when a storm hit. The road wasn't paved at the time. She got swept away by a wave of water, and her car floated down the river the wave created. The fire department rescued her and towed her to safety.
Yes, I have some memorable memories of Ora, and she will be missed by our little desert community she loved so much.
We unboarded the train at the station where we parted ways. I went my way and he went his never to be seen again.
Friday 26- 109/81F I did my stretches.
Saturday 27- 106/72F I did my stretches.
I’m getting my car ready for the trip to AZ. I rigged up a CB radio for my little car, but not sure I want to drill holes to mount it. I fixed an 12 volt Coleman lantern by taking out the broken fluorescence light and installing a very bright LED one.
Sunday 28- 103/82F I did my laundry.

Tuesday 30- 105/ 76F I did my stretches.
I posted on FaceBook the prologue to my new book, Rogue Encounter Sea of Storms.
My integrity has been called into question about a disturbing email I received from a Democratic Party-run PAC (political action committee). You can read the email from Nancy Pelosi in my original post somewhere below on my FB page.
If you want to take a look-see at the email, Message me with your email address, and I will forward it to you.
I did my research, and here are the links with a brief explanation of each, showing the email was not fake:
The email was originally sent from PAC TO THE FUTURE: https://www.followthemoney.org/entity-details?eid=1302709...
When you click on a link in the email to donate, you are taken to: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/pttf-email-2024...
Link to Wikipedia for Act Blue:

If you’d like to contribute to Nancy Pelosi, that’s up to you; I really don’t care. I just wanted to show you the disturbing email I received and let you all know what was said in it.
With this post, I will be taking some time off to finish a book I am writing soon to be published.
I'm done with politics for a while... it makes me feel dirty.
I love you all. I mean it. I say this because without you, my friends, whatever your political party, I would be lost in a violent world. We all need each other. We must relearn how to love one another.

Wednesday 31- 106/81F: I woke up early to do my stretches, workout with weights, and jogged a mile. I haven’t jogged for a few weeks because of the extreme heat. I got pretty winded and had to stop a couple of times to catch my breath.
I posted chapter one of Rogue Encounter Sea of Storms, on FaceBook.

Saturday 01- 99/70F I did all my exercises and jogged a mile with Cassie.
What makes me wonder about Universe 25 is the wars we have fought throughout human history. Over and over again, we get into wars, killing off millions... is this built into us? Is this a sociology trend on large groups of people that the individual person cannot see the forest through the trees? I'd say there is absolutely something going on in relation to U25 and human civilizations...
Humans and mice derive from a common mammalian ancestor.
Sunday 02- 97/70F I did all my exercises and jogged a mile.
I worked in the garden.
Monday 03- 98/71F
Tuesday 04- 101/78F I did all my exercises and jogged a mile.
I worked in the garden.
Wednesday 05- 105/79F I did all my exercises and jogged a mile.
I worked on the large sitting tub. She’s all cleaned up and full of water now.
Thursday 06- 107/78F: I watched the SpaceX StarShip number 4 blast off from its launch site in Texas. The first stage landed safely, and so did the Starship in the ocean.
I finished filling up the tub. I connected electricity to the water pump, and it fired right up; I wasn’t expecting that. I went for my first dunk at 4 pm, the hottest part of the day.
Friday 07- I did all my exercises and jogged a mile.
Kelly and I went to JT and Yucca to pick up our meds and do some shopping at Aldi. We had lunch at Applebee’s, and it was worth it—almost cheaper than McDonald’s. Kelly paid a little under $30 for two big Macs and extra fries, while I paid $36 for the whole sit-down meal and left a tip at Applebee’s.
Saturday 08- I did all my exercises and jogged a mile.
Cassie is getting old having a hard time jumping on the bed. So, I took the frame out and put the whole bed on the floor. Now, all she has to do is walk onto the bed, no jumping.
Sunday 09- I did my stretches and jogged a mile. I had to stop lifting weights because I woke up with pain on my right side, and I think I may have pulled a muscle. Once it feels better, I will continue with the weights but at fewer pounds.
Monday 10- I did my stretches and jogged a mile.
Tuesday 11- 104/72F I decided taking a day off from exercising is a good idea.
David came by in the afternoon, and we played a little guitar. David also came over in the late evening and we played more guitar.
Wednesday 12- 103/71F I did all my exercises.
Thursday 13- 105/74F I did all my exercises.
Friday 14- 104/71F I did all my exercises.
Saturday 15- 103/72F I did all my exercises. About two hours before sunset I saw a column of smoke snaking its way across the northern desert from the northwest going east. Looks like a big one!
Sunday 16- 110/72F I decided to take the day off due to the particulates in the air from the Post Fire, which originated in Gorman on Saturday afternoon.
Monday 17- I did all my exercises. It was cool enough for Cassie to accompany me on my jog.

I finished cleaning the bathroom.
It suddenly occurred to me that I need to get myself grounded. Sometimes I feel that I am not of this world. Perhaps, it is because I am drifting slowly towards a world of my own making, separate from what drives those who seek riches... I am lost in thought.
The conservation of energy
Let’s say by accident, a bomb with just enough kinetic energy to destroy your home and all your belongings you worked so hard through your life is all gone in a flash. So, my question is, does the energy the bomb creates equal to all the kinetic energy you spent through your life to acquire your property?
Example: say you carry a bowling ball up a few flights of stairs. As you ascend the stairs, you and the bowling ball gain kinetic energy. Once at the top, you toss the bowling ball out the window. As the bowling ball falls, it loses its kinetic energy, and also, as you walk down the steps to the ground floor, losing all the kinetic energy you had gained.
Now, some will ask, won't one match destroy the house without using as much of the bomb's kinetic energy? In my mind, I would ask how much energy it takes for the tree to grow big enough to be harvested, the digging of raw material and processing, plus the machinery and labor to make the match stick that lit the spark that burned the house down.
Let the dream end.
Tuesday 18- 95/68F It was a good day to run, and I was tempted; unfortunately, I ran early yesterday, but it quickly turned hot as I ran, and the heat burned me out, so I'm taking the day off.
Because of the heat building to higher temps every day, my running and exercising with weights every day only lasted a little over a week. I said to myself, look, you'll be 73 in August; you'll have to push a bit but not too hard that they find your half-eaten body on some desert trail because I pushed too much. A little bit more every day, but not till it's harmful. I can mostly do runs every day but the weight training and heat got to me.
Did some work in the garden

Michelle Blitz, I laughed at the last part: " Oops, I said that out loud, but it's true."
Maybe we all should stand up and say it aloud,, because those in the White House have totally failed, and they are bringing our country to its knees. We are the laughingstock of the whole world. We have an illegitimate President who wanders about the world stage like he is lost and can't stay on topic and poops his pants in public.
I'll say it, vote Republican or lose your freedoms.
There, that's done! I did it. I hope the woke folk wake up and realize WTF is going on!
The last time I said something like this, I lost four or 5 Facebook friends. Well, I guess they weren't very good friends after all.
Machelle, we should not be afraid anymore. The future of the nation and the world relies on all of us to have a voice and not be intimidated by those unknowledgeable people who would unwittingly destroy our great nation by usurping parents' rights to their children and using the legal system to bring false charges against their political rivals. They should all be in jail; these elites in Washington who dismiss our Constitution with an upturned nose!
I heard it will probably get worse for the East Coast. You're probably doing this anyways, but Stay hydrated, Michelle. Be prepared for power outages. Collect and store as much water as you can... fill the tub, and stuff like that.
I live in the desert, where it gets mighty hot and, at times, very humid and dangerous. When I first moved there, all I had to keep cool was a wet beach towel to cover me and a small fan to blow on the towel, but it worked somehow.
Stay Safe kid!
We have to escape this hollow world that we created to enable us to survive and live out our lives. There is no escape from this world of insensitivity and intolerance. As we speak, some say the tentacles of an evil society are spreading like cancerous cells to the far reaches of the globe. You can see these dark regions, but first, you must become aware of their existence and their blatant lies. They ignore the Constitution.
But there is a secret universe we can visit that no human has seen before, which we made all for ourselves.
but though
Cassie not being Cassie no more would ruin me. Yes, I would get over it in time, but the heartfelt emptiness of a hole will remain until I fill it back up with happiness, virtue, and direction.
Thursday 20- 102/72 I did all my exercises and jogged a mile.
Kjtel dropped by with her doggies. She wanted to show me her car cover structure, so we ended up at her house. We also checked the sundial at sunset to make sure it was aligned with the solstice; it was.
I try to be thrifty. Sometimes, I succeed, and sometimes, I falter. I have too many projects and must start to focus on getting one done and moving on to another, but it never seems to work out that way. Something or other breaks, and a friend comes over...

I suppose sometimes you have to plan really big so you can get the little things done.
Hi, Annelies
I had somewhat the same alcohol problem... really bad. Lots of drinking stories to tell. I had been drinking since I was 13. Later in my adult life, I lived on a sailboat on the moorings, and we all were drunken sailors, as the song goes.
I woke up one morning with a wicked hangover and the spins on a moving boat... I had thoughts of doing myself in, but I rallied and made it through the day. I quit drinking then and there and started going to a health spa. I was sitting in the Jacuzzi there, mesmerized by the bubbles, meditating, deeply focused on my future when I remembered I was supposed to go to college. I enrolled at my community college and graduated sometime later. That was in 79.
When I moved here in 97, I hadn't had a drop. I thought I could social drink and tried it at a party the community center was having for Frederickson, a neighbor. I can't recall his first name; I think it was Fred, this was two decades ago. You probably know who I'm talking about... Well, I tried to social drink, but I didn't find it all that pleasing, and I was afraid that I'd fall into the drinking routine again. I haven't touched a drop since.
I'm writing this for you. There are many folks like us who fell into the alcohol trap that kills and ruins people's lives. I believe they should remove all advertising for all types of alcohol from the media, but that's a fight for another day. People should have a choice to drink, to drink responsibly, or to consume copious amounts: That's up to the individual. But it shouldn't be promoted like it's some soft drink with happy party times ahead, which is far from reality.
Unfortunately, you'll probably lose a couple of drinking friends as I did- it's for the best, believe me. Hey, maybe they'll follow your example and quit, too!
Good luck on your new adventure in the world of the sober.
If you like to use any part or none in your newsletter, that's okay with me; maybe it will help someone.
Sunday 23- 105/81F HOT! I jogged 1/2 a mile. Too hot for anything else.
Monday 24- 109/83F HOT. I only did my stretches.
Tuesday 25- 106/81F HOT. I did my stretches.
Wednesday 26- 107/83F HOT. I did my stretches. I went to my doctor's appointment at 3:45. I stopped at Little Cerers and grabbed a pizza and then went to Vons for a little bit of shopping before my appointment. After the doctor, I went to Home Depot to purchase a few items for the garden.
Thursday 27- 108/76F HOT.
Friday 28- 106/74F HOT and Windy. Kelly and I went to 29 to pick up our mail and do some shopping.
I went to JT to pick up our meds and
Well, I'll go against the grain here.
I have tried most, if not all, of the free word processors and have always gone back to MS Office. I am a writer of books and stories and need a word processor I am familiar with that doesn't have any "rough edges" like some of the "Free" ones. MS Word is worth the $69 I pay yearly for a subscription to 365, and I believe it is a small price to pay if you are a professional writer and your livelihood depends on it. There are also other benefits I won't go into here.
I use Google Docs for the small stuff but not for heavy manuscripts.
If Microsoft starts raising their prices or screws it up, or as they did on Windows 8 and Windows RT, I'll probably switch to LibreOffice or something similar.

My reply to Larry about how my writing has been doing.
It's been a little slow. I find myself wandering off, working on the property, the new garden I've been building, writing songs, painting walls, digging post holes... shit like that. The weather has been so extremely hot lately, which began in early May, and has hindered my efforts of completing many projects I would of liked to get done.
In early August, I'll be headed out to AZ to move a large travel trailer out to the 1.6 acres of land I have in Three Points, AZ.
yeah... I don't know if I told you I quit writing the column for the newspaper. I only agreed to write it for one year unless someone came forward to take over; no one did. I had eleven years under my belt, from 1999 to 2011, and over 500 weekly columns written when I turned it over to Annelies. Well, she quit this time last year, and I decided to write it to give our little community a voice. I don't know what they'll do now, but I put in my time. I'll have more time now to focus on my own writings :)
We can vote and protest, but we don’t make the rules and laws; that is left to someone’s hidden agenda.
Mark Evans I know. I just want all the BS to stop, but I guess it never really has. I truly try to stay out of politics but when I look around and see all these wars and other scary things going on in the world, I just have to wonder why we all just can't get along.
I posted "Final Warning" to get some kind of reaction; see what people have to say about it, good or bad. At least, we can have a conversation about something as important as this.
I probably likely won't post another one.

Self-destruction of cells, when they get to a certain age, continues up the food chain, from cell to the human lifespan, and then to species, all make room for something new, somehow and in different ways than we could think. Ours may be by our own hands.
There once lived a creature on earth many eons ago whose waste product they excreted was the poisonous gas oxygen. The atmosphere became so saturated by this gas it killed off the creatures whose only crime was farting. This made way for oxygen-breathing creatures to evolve, to which we belong.

Monday 20- 87/60F and really windy.
Consumed by a multitude of interests I have and avenues I must choose from and leave the others behind, to fade away like a dream not quite remembering upon waking and all but lost moments later. The paths I must take going forward into the future.
Tuesday 21- 87/64F I painted the seats that I cut out yesterday for wicker chairs. I also screwed the overhead 4x4x8 to its appropriate position.

Friday 24- 89/62F
I need to take better care of my body. I don’t want to feel like I’m on a sinking ship that’s about to be abandoned with all hands lost at sea. This is the only vessel that matters. I need it to get me here and there. I need it to hold my consciousness. I’ll have to admit, I’ve been abusing it lately.
So, tomorrow, I will start with the weights.

WhaT? Well, that’s all I had typed just before my dog Cassie took my attention away, wanting to go outside. By the time I came back to write down my thoughts, they had all but vanished in a thick cloud of grey. I am sure my words would inspire you and the world to greater heights and world peace, and possibly cure all diseases and wipe out famine. Unfortunately, I forgot what I was planning to say, so none of the above will occur.
Kern was the first to walk into the old castle. He hesitated; before him were shadows cast long, disheveled images by flickering sconce lanterns hung on the opposite wall.
“Never in my life have I seen a city and its castle abandoned as this city is now.”

Don’t keep trying to find out what is wrong with you; it’s only the negative way of the environment you were brought up in that gives you those thoughts. Say nay to all those woolly bastards

David locked himself out and called me to help. I took my drill up there and drilled the keyhole out of one of his locks. I also lent him one of my controllers because his failed.
Thursday 04- 70/40F really windy. David bought one of my new controllers for a $100 and I ordered a new one for the same amount.
Friday 05- 60/39F another windy day. Kelly got badly sick last night. She woke me up at 7 a.m. After a while, she seemed to be getting better, but that didn’t last, so we called an ambulance to take her to the ER. They came a little after 11 a.m. and took her to the ER. They stabilized her, and I picked her up around 4 p.m. She is better now but still kind of sick.
So we're both down with that bug...

Thursday 11- 77/50F Kelly and I drove to 29 to get our mail, do some shopping, and ate dinner at Burger King.

David came by to chat, and I showed him my new song. We both played it on the guitar. He said he liked my song.

Sunday 21- 94/62F I did my stretches. When I went on my morning walk with my dog Cassie, I noticed that most of the fragile little flowers had turned brown. This made me contemplate life and the impermanence that all things must come to an end.

Wednesday, 24- 80/50F, I did my stretches. Kelly woke me up at the ungodly hour of 8 AM. She was immensely sick with stomach pains. We almost had to call an ambulance to come take her to the ER.
I worked on the swamp cooler and got it all hooked up, but it wasn’t without some glitches along the way, with the hose fitting breaking from the main water connection coming stuck and breaking off. Nothing was going right. I did find a replacement for the hose fitting and other parts I had on hand just in case something like this happens again, so I was able to fix part of the system that feeds the dog bowl, the shower, and Kelly’s trailer.
Jimmy called, and we yapped for an hour, catching up on this and that.

I really couldn’t work outside, so I messed around inside. I drove to Star Pharmacy in JT to pick up Kelly’s meds, which she desperately needs (antibacterial). I set up my cell phone with Vision, which is on the Verizon network, and it works. The other provider didn’t, and that was on the T-Mobile network. I’d only get one bar and couldn’t make calls.
Saturday 27- 80/53F High winds again. I did all my exercises except jog; it was too windy for that.
I drove Kelly down the the corner to pick up her delivery she ordered.

I worked outside pouring concrete into the holes holding the 2x4s that are the frame for the two doors.
Tuesday 30- 91/59F
In the past few months, I caught the flu or something, which kept me down for a couple of weeks or more. Kelly's big dog knocked me down twice, which took a week or so each time, and then my ongoing allergies are finally going away (I have bad allergies) I'm feeling much better since all the flowers died off and blown away :)
Today, I'm feeling great.

Name for books: Demon Harvest: Pull of the Sea:
Impermanence, everything comes to an end. Knowing this, we still move on in life, working for something more permanent to build, as if life has meaning. Or to search for meaning and never come across what you believed was the ultimate meaning that you perceived it to be in your own mind just moments ago. The truth is dynamic, always moving, changing, lying, evolving, and challenging. We may find ourselves in the depths of a dilemma, but we always do what’s needed, and somehow, in some way, we evolve with the truth as the hands of time tick ever so close to midnight.
We can only use the fusion drives for decelerating once we arrive at Proxima Centauri. We’ll have to reprogram the flight computer. That means we’ll have to wake the whole IT staff. We have to slow down, or we’re in a million-year or two journey and a slow death way before we come to that ending.
Superfluous means more than is needed, useful, or wanted. It can also mean unnecessary, redundant, or excessive. For example, "The textbook includes so much superfluous information that students often overlook key points".
Maybe virtual particles do not exist all at once, popping in and out as they do, and this would cut in half their calculations? And maybe VPs are bound together near fields of gravity? Maybe scientists only calculated the visual universe, leaving out the unvisual universe in their calculations, and shorted themselves. How big is the Universe anyways? Who knows. I certainly don't 🤗

I made a bunch of spaghetti. Kelly said I did really well on it.
Steven, the botanist, was standing at the gate when I went to feed the coyotes their nightly meal. He kind of took me by surprise, standing in the dark like that. He said he was hungry. So, I invited him in for a plate of spaghetti and a few other edibles. He sure can talk a lot about botany and the work he has done. I suspect he might be a recovering tweaker, but I didn’t ask.
I did my studies, practiced my guitar, and did my nightly stretches.

kinda interesting... they don't talk about manufacturing regular cars and their effects on the environment. They mention it would take the first 60 thousand miles to make up what EVs take from our environment but do not mention that gas cars always increase their bad impacts on our environment.
I think it is too soon to make mandates on gas cars; there just isn't the infrastructure for EVs just yet, and we, as consumers, shouldn't be forced into buying them until we have to get a horse to hook up to them.
