You might have ossified, but your brain hasn’t. Mine, it would appear, has. ;o]

That a pale edition of the last two kittehs. Looks like it was left in the sun too long and got bleached!

It’s morning and I sure hope my day goes better than yesterday. *doomandgloom*

People are moving into vacant apartments so construction can start. They’re not asking me to get out any more. Construction is now set for August, but I don’t think four people will vacate in Hurricane so I can move in thirty days and be eligible for $900 relocation bribe.

Most of them are going over to Decatur and Charleston, and I’m really glad I’m getting out of this state entirely. Some days it just doesn’t pay to chew through the straps.

Its 82° right now, with a high expected of 105° - 107°, depending on which source you choose to depend upon.

Wash day tomorrow and I’m already dreading it. *sheesh*

However, today is Sunday and its the day I write letters. A strange thing, writing letters. And only one person answers and that’s my daughter. Always with the stamps upside down. I did that when both kids were in their respective services. Some things never change!

Since the shower has been had its time to make the bed and have the steroid. I’m thinking when I move, I’ll be away from the asbestos and mold in the walls and the lead paint and won’t need so much in the way of nebulizer meds. There are so many reasons to leave and none to stay.

Yes indeed. The frog’s fate that time was not the Twilight Zo-an of the inner sanctum of the Cayman’s inner.

I’m thinking of writing letters, myself.

Several of the young persons aren’t up yet.

I watched a lot of Twilight Zone, and one thing always made me laugh: Rod Serling always called it “The Twilight Zo-an.” I wonder if he even knew...? ;o]

I’ve sorted my pills (I’m out of two, but because of the fiasco of dealing with a delivery company other than UPS last month, iherb.com is shipping this order from Ohio. Otherwise, it would have been here Friday. I think I should have paid the extra $4 for expedited delivery.) and cleaned up a mess I made, (relapses are very good at throwing a little clumsiness into the mix) and I’m not having any luck at finding local news that’s worth watching for the weather.

Filling ice cube trays will be the next thing, when I empty the last one. I have to go to Walmart but I’ll save it for tomorrow on my way home from the laundromat.

"I’m thinking of writing letters, myself."

This is worthy of study all by itself. It makes you think in directions you would never have anticipated.

Letter from Ada Lovelace to Charles Babbage
At the time, the poet's daughter and the world's first computer tinker were able to send letters back and forth up to five times in one day! That alone is a remarkable and thought-provoking difference from today.

Warning: Script writing and real brain engagement involved.

Not to mention fine motor control with a high speed data bus.

Speedy delivery of letters became less important when electrickal communication was invented.

Her communications reflect a remarkable modernity of thinking.

In September 1840 she wrote:

I could wish I went on quicker. That is, I wish a human head, or my head at all events, could take in a great deal more & a great deal more rapidly than is the case; and if I had made my own head, I would have proportioned its wishes & ambition a little more to its capacity. ... When I compare the very little I do, with the very much — the infinite I may say — that there is to be done; I can only hope that hereafter in some future state, we shall be cleverer than we are now (LB 170, 13 September [1840], ff. 48v–49v).

Another way of looking at that is that what we’re perceiving as “modern” is more universal: what intellectually-driven people are like, regardless of time and place.

Agreed. What Sir Francis Bacon had to say about observer bias, for example, having said it in Latin; yet the meaning rings true to us today.
