Amazingly, I survived my Life

2004 REVIEW (PART TWENTY-SEVEN)

July- Childersburg, Al (continues)

(acerca de 5:03 P.M.) Is smoking or a poor diet robbing my energy every morning? It seems as if everything is o’kay until I have that “pre-work” cigarette at C.A.C.C.
Come to think of it, I suddenly lose energy soon after smoking, whenever I do! Smoking takes too many calories away from my body, calories that a diet should “pack” in but doesn’t. So I must eat more or smoke less.
Cigarettes are not the only thing increasing in price! Have “you” bought groceries lately?
This morning Donna, in my final bus ride of the week, explained to me how she “programs” herself, and occasionally is conscious of an action.
The vast majority of “our” daily activity is monotonous! As self-defense, only one part of our brain take care of this business. “We” are seldom aware of what “we” do. If “we” were conscious of this activity, I doubt if “we” would ever get it done!
Marvin “dismissed” inmate Jesse from C.A.C.C.: What happened yesterday - using the Bush Hog to mow the grass at the nursing school, and then getting it stuck in the ditch - was stupidity and showing off!
Why did Jesse call my attention to the stucked Bush Hog? Was he proud of what he had done? This only proves that crime doesn’t get one into trouble: Bragging about it does!
If I hadn’t told Marvin about the “stuck-ness” would Jesse still be here (at CACC)? So am I a tattle-tale?

(10th, About 9:03 A.M.) Now you know the reason I was dead set against Gov. Riley’s tax increase (call it by whatever name you will): Roy Moore is “demanding” that the state pay his legal bill, as he knowingly challenged the federal courts with his Ten Commendments stance! Nearly a half-million dollars!
If Moore really wanted to “connect” government with “God,” he would gladly pay the bill as an ersatz method of witnessing! But we all know that Roy Moore is only looking out for himself, and couldn’t care less about “God”!
Besides, the plaque of the Ten Commandments belongs to Moore personally. Shouldn’t this negate the financial responsibility of the state?
It was Tuesday or Wednesday. Marvin carried the water hoses from the front of the administration building to the “closet” of Building “C,” via the “C.A.C.C.’ pick-up truck. I was with him, having just finished watering.
Driving north in the access road that parallels the administration building, I articulated to Marvin that the silver tin power (?) box cover that extends from the ground on the north lawn of the front of the administration building is an eye-sore that, if nothing else, should have been painted dark green along with the lamp poles that were.
What a surprise I got when I saw that this grounded power (?) box had, indeed, been painted dark green!
Marvin is a much better “supervisor” of Grounds than Milt could ever be! Too bad Milt doesn’t vacation more often!

(acerca de 10:48 A.M.) It suddenly “hit me” yesterday as I was sitting under the shed behind Building “H” at C.A.C.C, smoking, that I am further entrapping myself the more I write! With each journal notebook that I add to my collection, it will be that much more difficult to relocate! Not emotionally but physically: I would never leave my journal behind! So how ironic that the better prepared Journal makes me, the more Journal makes it impossible to use my new-found self away from Childersburg!
I have swapped life for Journal: Is i_ a good trade? I wonder . . .
According to Milt, Eric had to do some physical contribution to the stump garden. As I told Leslie yesterday as I was coming home with her, Eric had to actually do work! And that is against Eric’s job-description, I have no doubt!
THE NEWSHOUR WITH JIM LEHRER (5:30-6:26 P.M., P.B.S.): About thirty-five minutes of the program; WASHINGTON WEEK (7-7:26 P.M., P.B.S.): All of it came into this room.

(acerca de 11:36 A.M.) As I laid in bed awaiting Sleep yesterday evening around 11:15, I heard a noise of bass music. Due to the physical characteristics of bass sound waves, I have no problem registering them: Unfortunately.
Jay Anderson, across the street, “must of been” having a party!
About thirty-five minutes of NOW WITH BILL MOYERS (8:30-9:24 P.M., P.B.S.) also lectured me on contemporary history.

(acerca de 12:26 P.M.) It’s not always a search for the “Fountain of Youth” that drives people - women and men - to marry someone twenty or more years their junior! It’s oftentimes that the older woman or man won’t seem inmature to someone so many years younger than her or him!
Most likely Leisa McGaha had to marry a younger man in order for “marriage to be sacred”: No man the age of Leisa (44?) is going to put up with her ways!
By Donna’s own admission, her husband is much younger than her.
I get the feeling somehow that Donna is much like Anita Matlow, her soul mate in fact! More than likely Donna, who can’t be much older than the late-40’s, destroyed her mother’s flower shop in much the same way that Anita destroyed her mother’s restaurant!
Amy is the reason that the Childersburg Bus Service is no longer number one in the state? If it ever really was number one, I’m sure it wasn’t Amy that brought it down!
Not long after I got on the bus yesterday morning, I told Donna about my eyeglasses “fogging up” whenever I went from inside to outside. She said hers did the same. Was she only agreeing for business reasons?

(acerca de 1:03 P.M.) Is the male falsetto voice technically known as “counter tenor”? I heard on radio while riding the bus Thursday (?) morning, with Patsey at the “wheel,” what I believe to have been a male singing falsetto/countertenor.
SOUNDSTAGE (10-11:00 P.M.,P.B.S.) featured Burt Bacharach and Ron Isley, the latter singing the former’s songs in a falsetto/countertenor voice.

(acerca de 2:22 P.M.) Did David repeat to his mother the conversation I had with him concerning the fact that, the more one shows disgust for Kayla spending every afternoon over here, the more the child will?
After over forty-five hours, Kayla was taken “home.” Or maybe I should say that Kayla was taken from her home by her parents, who finally decided the time had come to be parents!
Kayla decorated a “square” piece of cardboard for Linda (before I knew it was for Linda, I almost took possession of it) Thursday late afternoon, Joyce, copying subconsciously Linda’s demeaning talk-down voice to children, explained to Kayla that the cardboard is too big for Linda’s mailbox, that Kayla can give the cardboard to Linda in person when she (Linda) comes up, that Kayla could make
her (Linda) a card on paper that would fold and fit in an envelope.
This morning, Kayla sung a song about the days of the week. The tune is “borrowed” from the theme song to THE ADAMS FAMILY television show and movie.
Kayla “kicked” a tiny multi-colored rubber ball across the floor by her “toy corner” (Southeast corner of the Family Room).
The ball went north to south. Both Joyce and I thought the ball was the scurrying of a mouse. With three cats, why would there be a mouse in the house?
Later, Kayla was dressed in her cow girl outfit (I had told Kayla about my coonskin cap when I was 5 or 6), holding a stuff animal, also dressed in a cowgirl’s outfit. She had just been photographed by her mother, outside.
Kayla was “holding on” to the driver’s open door, where her father was sitting, the car “idling.” In referring to herself and the stuffed animal, Kayla stated “Me and her . . .” We all know where she got that horrible grammer: From her father! And by way of her “nana”!
I got the feeling yesterday that Leslie wasn’t too fond of me being in her car! Did she smell smoke on me? Or am I imagining incorrectly again?
Kayla told me that she awoke crying either this morning or yesterday morning. Something about David leaving.
It’s not the dreams one have: It’s how one deals with them. If one allows them to control one’s actions, then it’s not the dreams’ fault! A dream is neither good or bad. A dream is not out to get one!

(acerca de 3:44 P.M.) I forgot exactly when this was. But I recall “discussing” that the year was progressing much quicker than I wished, with Donna, and maybe Amy, as the bus brought me home.
Concerning “Cash Crops”: Historically, tobacco was an important economic mainstay in the early years of the United States and in the 17th century, long before the country became a country. So why is it surprising that coca offers financial support for many farmers in countries like Columbia? Tobacco farmers also were - and and - aware that tobacco is an impediment to health, but what choice do they have, especially in the early years?
Tobacco taxes contribute much to a state’s economy, which is why tobacco-growing will never be stopped. I imagine that coca-growing for cocaine adds much to the economy of Columbia and other countries, even though these governments pretend to be anti-coca growing.
Just think what would happen to the world’s economy if people ceased smoking and using cocaine?
Phoebus is hurting us with Its direct “hits”: The air carries the upper-80⁰’s (F), but the Heat seems much more “biting.” In spite of all the water laid down by Rain over the past two weeks, the Heat feels dry, as if there is no more moisture, not even for Humidity, to hurt us!

(11th, About 8:16 A.M.) The back yard was groomed early yesterday evening: All the rain of late made the cut necessary, even though it was only last weekend that the backyard was mowed.
I suspect that I was only mowing the McHafey yard as a “mercy fuck”! Joyce apparently, in her control of me, thought I needed the “therapy” and the ten dollars.
David (McHafey) would have been mowing the yard all along, but he, too, was in on the ‘conspiracy”!
It took special “choregraphy” to settle down the three animals - Deah, Samantha, and Fuzzy - late yesterday evening: I had taken Deah for a walk a little after 10:00. Fuzzy was waiting on Princeton Drive to get home, but Samantha, outside near the front of the house, wouldn’t let her (Fuzzy) near the place.
I walked Deah, smoked a cigarette, and carried Deah back to the house to keep her from scaring Fuzzy, who was crouching in the drainage ditch in front of Jim Veazy’s house.
Then I went back for Fuzzy. At first she wouldn’t let me pick her up, but by coming at her from the rear (if nothing else I would corrall her to the house) I was able to lift her in my arms. Fuzzy emitted an angry purr when she and I past Samantha, but I finally got Fuzzy in the house.
Now I must ask myself why did I do it? Fuzzy isn’t my cat, neither am I overly fond of her! Do I like animals this much? Or power-hungry?

(acerca de 9:09 A.M.) It goes without saying that I am opposed to Kayla attending a private religious school in Wilsonville! These types of so-called “educational’ institutionals claim that they are improvements on public schools! But in reality the vast majority teach hatred for (in this case) non-Christian believers! Islam is their main target! Americans criticize madrassahs for teaching anti-Americanism, but it is o’kay for these private, christian schools to “mold” their subjects into anti-Islam, anti-Judaism, anti-Hinduism, etc.!
What I find appalling is that the federal government supports these hate factories indirectly, with vouchers and Faith-based grants! The government appears concern about protecting America from terrorism, but all the wire-tapping and security at airports will do nothing as long as hate for non-Christians is allow to dominate!
Even public scholars are guilty of hate-mongering!
No doubt, “liberal” shows such as SESAME STREET are innocent in teaching children that they are one of a kind: Children have been de-humanized for so long.
However, there is a “down” side to telling kids that they are unique: Kids may not be willing to accept those that differ greatly from them.
People are more alike than they are different. Anyone can murder, as I told the female judge in the trial with Anita Matlow in April of 1999.
Suicide bombers/terrorists are not unlike you and me! Never think one’s “specialness” means that one can’t be a murderer and/or a terrorist!
“Democracy” is, by far, not the best way to guarantee “freedom” to people: Under a democratic form of government, the minority is protected, regardless of what the majority may desire.
Seat belt laws are not “democratic,” unless one wants to call oneself a minority that must be protected from the “majority” in all of us!

(acerca de 10:19 A.M.) Between 5:30 and a few minutes after 6:00 yesterday evening, I saw and/or heard NBC NEWS, ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT SUNDAY, and C-Span’s audio replay of the president’s weekly radio address and the Democratic response by John Edwards.
It may be to “cover up” the harsh indictment of the Bush administration that the Senate Intelligence Committee issued last week, concerning pre-war intelligence used to justify going to war: George W. Bush is using the divisive issue of same-sex marriage as a re-election strategy! And it may work: Bill Clinton pushed DOMA - Defense of Marriage Act - in 1996 when he was seeking re-election, and, by “God” it did the trick! The hell with terrorism: Just don’t allow two women or two men to marry!
If September 11, 2001, changed the world, then that includes the definition of marriage!
Most non-Republicans - Democrats, independents, and others - don’t vote, almost by definition: They know that the federal government does more harm than good, and they want no part of it! And they are right! But with such an atitude, a man like George W. Bush is able to hold the federal government hostage until his demands are met!

(acerca de 11:12 A.M.) Yesterday morning (or was it Friday evening?) Kayla didn’t respond to granny as she (Kayla) was expected to by granny. (Granny was sitting on the north end of the couch). Granny suddenly became pensive and withdrawn.
Yesterday morning I was kidding Kayla about eating two of the biscuits I had previously heated for breakfast. It was lunch time and Kayla was at the kitchen table with me. After I told her that she owed me some potato chips, she went into the Family Room.
I asked her why she had left (Kayla was sitting in the rocking arm chair). She stated that she wanted to see something on television.
I will not editorialize of either situation for fear of over-reacting. I just wanted to let you know what happened.
The final 6-7 minutes of KEEPING UP APPEARANCES (8-8:30 P.M., P.B.S.), and the whole of AS TIME GOES BY (8:30-9:00 P.M., P.B.S.) “background” my enjoying a homemade chocolate milk shake.
Remember the “sod” that I transferred from the former house-bordering garden strip to various depressions across the yard?
Allow me to back-up a bit: Granny and Kayla planted potato or something else at the north end of the garden. Two plants are “alive” in one of the “holes” where the sod was moved. Kayla doesn’t remember planting the potato (?), but I do (remember her planting)!
The front yard as a vegetable garden? Not a bad idea!

(acerca de 11:45 A.M.) I’m sure I noted this before, but the song, “Where were you when I needed you”: Along with many others, that could very well be my theme song!
The series LAS VAGAS (9-10:00 P.M., N.B.C.) isn’t bad! The technique has a lot of C.S.I. associated with it. But I still find the program “semi-original” and will probably watch it again!
The Religious Right is dangerous! To offer but one example: Non-theists fought to have a Ten Commandment display removed from a park in Wisconsin. More than half of the complainers had to refrain from politically identifying themselves: These so-called Christians are able to deprive the complainers of employment!
I ask you: Is that really any different than Islamic Fundamentals?
The book, “The Da Vinci Code” has been in the top five best sellers for many months. The book de-bunks many of the myths surrounding the New Testament, which makes one wonder why the book is so popular! Especially if “The Da Vinci Code’ is true: The last religious people want is reality about “God” and organized religion! But the truth of “The Da Vinci Code” has been challenged.
I am reminded of the temporary stir that “Chariot of the Gods” caused: In that book, author Eric van Daiker (?) offers “evidence” that the statues on Easter Island were put there by space travelers.

(acerca de 3:29 P.M.) The Reverend Pat Robinson (try saying that with a straight face!) somehow mis-interpreted what “God” told him: God” was referring to 1/21/01, not 9/11/01, when “He’ said that the day was punishment for all the things done by the United States that pisses “Him” (God) off!
George W. Bush is correct: He was meant by “God” to be president!
Incidentally, 1/21/01 was Bush’s first partial or full day in office.
The upper-80⁰’s (F) issued an invitation to bathed Deah outside. And I did, along with applying Frontline Plus to her between-the-shoulders area!
And, yes, Deah was having a bad reaction to the shampoo that I was using! Which means, ladies and gentlemen, that she and I can no longer share a bottle!
Phoebus allowed Overcast to “speak” briefly at various times of the day so far. But Phoebus knows that if Overcast is given an inch, It will take a mile by letting Rain in!
The lead character of LAS VAGAS (played by James Caan) attended a performance of the opera “Don Giovanni,” in yesterday evening’ episode. “Don Giovanni”? How appropriate: As the LAS VEGAS character (Edward?) states, both he and “Don Giovanni” end up in hell!

(acerca de 7:19 P.M.) It was around 7:13 when Bill arrived for a sleepy Kayla: She, Joyce, and I were in the front yard kicking a soccer ball that formerly belonged to Colton Veazy, who abandoned it in the back yard.
I suppose I should tell “you” when Kayla came over: When I left my room around 3:45, Kayla was in the rocking arm chair, lying down, and Bill was still here.
Why is it so important that granny personally answers the telephone? The cordless phone was to the left of granny, on the arm rest. Not caring to shout, I responded to the ringing summons (It was David).
After granny talked - I handed the telephone to her - she took it to Joyce in the restroom. After sitting down, granny asked me why I didn’t call her attention to the ringing telephone. Included in my response was, “What difference does it makes?”

(12th, About 6:27 A.M.) I am still confused as to why Leslie was non-responsive Friday afternoon, as she was bringing me home, when I mentioned Eric’s refusal to work! It was as if she resented me “finding” this out about Eric! Or that she was cautious of me now that I had!
When I complained about the bus, Leslie said something like, “Oh well!” as if bus ridership is all I deserve as a means of transportation!
I also articulated this rhetorical question to Marvin: Why would Ronnie want me to work with Eric? He (Ronnie) must be aware that I would then be in direct contact with Eric’s illegal employment tactics!
Why is it that I write “o” as “a” and “a” as “o”? Damn if I can figure this out!

(acerca de 7:40 A.M.) In theory - in theory! - the court’s decision to allow school vouchers to be used for private schools is putting students first! I am a perfect example of the failure of public schools to provide the proper training!
However, the reality of school vouchers being used for a private school education is quite different: Teachers and school officials are provided with additional “fodder” in which to feed their controlling-hunger! The vast majority of private schools are sectarian, and children are only exposed to one type of person, and then molded into the image of the teachers and school officials!
For that matter, the teachers will be clones of a pre-determined template!
What better way to antagonize the terrorists?

(acerca de 1:53 P.M.) Shit happens!
Literally!
Donna “invited” me to sit in the front passenger seat on the bus this morning: She opened the passenger door as I approached the bus.
One of the patients going to Cheaha Mental Health did a “stinky” in her pants. What a sickening smell for so early in the morning!
Besides this “accident,” Donna and I talked about a male baby pissing in one’s face.
Donna is a grandmother. For a grandmother, Donna “ain’t’ bad looking! I never had one that “foxy”!
As I was walking to the front of the administration building around 1:07, an inmate, coming down the hill sidewalk between Buildings “B” and “C” (I was just pass the northwest corner of Building “C”) shouted “Mr. Wilson.” I heard him on, I suppose, the second or third summons.
The bus was out in front - my ride, as the inmate said. It was Amy. Another passenger - an elderly female - was with her.
I’m glad my only “disability”” is hearing, given the way Amy drives! She operates the bus way too fast! I don’t know what the rush is, but she had best slow down!
I am overqualified, Ronnie told me. Is he just now realizing that? Hence my problem!
I wanted so badly to tell I desired his job! I have a Master’s degree and he doesn’t!
Maybe I will get a raise in pay, but an increase in work hours won’t be forthcoming!
Why am I still at C.A.C.C.? I’m in a “Catch-22”: I need a full-time job in order to get a car, but I can’t get a full-time job without a car!
I just knew, when I decided upon graduate school, that I wouldn’t be in Childersburg, AL, only working 19 hours a week at $6 an hour!the bus way too fast! I don’t know what the rush is, but she had best slow down!
Ronnie promised to discuss my case with Dr. Cornell, but I’m not holding my breath!
I hinted that Joyce was one of the problems I face, when we discussed my means of getting to and from work. The bus is humiliation, I stated.
Before I left his office, I told Ronnie that the lantanas up by the walking track may die in this heat unless the sprinkler system is able to spread water. And the water has been turned off due to the water leak. Ronnie acted as if he knew nothing about the water leak, but he was probably hoping that I would think just that!
Later at the shop, I “discussed” the possibility of laying Sweeping Compound gravel around the tree stump. Eric will be angry when he sees it. But Eric should have removed the stump months ago!
I won’t lay Sweeping Compound gravel around the stump, not because of Eric, but because Marvin and his crew may, indeed, need it more!
THE MCLAUGHLIN GROUP (3-3:26 P.M., P.B.S.) and about ten minutes of ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT SUNDAY (5:30-6:00 P.M.) kept me abreast of current affairs.
Speaking of which, I could easily direct a course in Current Affairs (?) that Ralph Cline and Doug Sterns now “teach”!

(acerca de 3:08 P.M.) It is started. I made contact with the field office in Birmingham of the EEOC (The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). I don’t know if it will be any help, but maybe it can scare C.A.C.C. into giving in to my “demands.”
It took several attempts before I made telephone contact. But that was step one. A brief review of my complaint must be written up and sent to that office (EEOC).
As “you” can guess, I watered the flowers - except for the lantanas by the walking track. Rain is taking care of them, grumbling all the while.
Lightning whips Rain to water, as a carriage driver does a horse or mule.
The upper-80⁰’s (F) dared Rain by holding Humidity hostage.
AMERICAN MYSTERY presented “Thief of Time” (8-9:35 P.M., P.B.S.) yesterday evening. Then I watched the last of the second part of MEET THE PRESS (9-10:00, C.N.B.C.).
The flowers can never get too much water on these hot days! Which is good, because Rain is out-watering me!
It is a well known fact that George W. Bush, in his over-zealousness, imagined an interpretation of pre-war intelligence, as support for invading Iraq. In the same way, the Reverend Pat Robinson, in his over-zealousness, mis-applied intelligence that “God” had meant for January 21, 2001, and connected it to September 11, 2001 (“God’s” punishment!)!
One can “focus” oneself out of a “career.” That may have been how my clowning “career” cam_ to such an abrupt halt!

(acerca de 3:58 P.M.) I found just the thing I need for the stump: Wild lilies (?) on a vine! Unfortunately, though, the vine is a part of a tree growing between the dump and stream! So much a part of the tree, in fact, that the vine has become just another form of bark on the trunk!
The trumpet-shaped flowers (orange) would make a dandy cover for the stump “garden”! I even told Marvin such.
As I was preparing to water the lantanas in the southeastern “apron” from the administration building, an inmate, pushing a waste/trash can, stopped on his way “out” of the road that leads in and out of the loading dock area (behind the book store). Having nothing to say to him, I joked about getting him wet. He told me he was so-and-so years old (I didn’t hear the age)
and that he didn’t play around. I stated that I could cool him off, and he said that he can cool off in other ways.
Hillory Hughes wore a cow girl hat today. She looked heavenly! What in the world is wrong with Joe, her stepfather?

(acerca de 7:02 P.M.) This morning, Donna told me that, because of medical care of some riders, she asked Ami to come for me Friday afternoon. And “we” all know that she didn’t.
Donna said to me that she almost telephoned Amy over the weekend to “see” if she had “picked me” up. By this time she was already aware that my transportation home was with my niece.
I couldn’t help but sense that Amy this afternoon resented having to come for me, and was trying to get it over as quickly as possible.
Donna hinted at Amy’s bitchiness this morning, and I hinted that I am aware of it!
Mary was still on vacation today. I told Donna that it was all for the best: Mary would have “freaked” if one of the riders had “messed” in her/his pants on her watch!
Two or three times today, I have “lost” my balance. Only one day, and only 2-3 times: I should only become concerned if it becomes 2-3 days in a row, and 6-7 times each day!
What happens is that I try to move quicker than this 54-year old body can respond. At least I hope this is the explanation!
The front yard has been mowed: Not sure of the status of the weather, I first cut the northern-most “half” of the yard, the portion that “housed” the l___est grass. But then, with only Thunder off in the distance, I de-grassed the remaining yard.

(13th, About 6:30 A.M.) This house is kept so cold! It pisses Sleep off, and “She” leaves in disgust!
I can’t tell how truthful Donna is! She told me yesterday that each of her children has kids of her or his own. But earlier Donna claimed that a daughter is in school somewhere, and her son is some type of athelete. Although neither case necessarily excludes parenthood, I get the feeling that Donna is making up her life as she goes!
Yesterday morning Donna stated to me that she had an operation to remove a portion of her intestines. While in the hospital, she was connected to a colo_opy bag. Maybe she was, but maybe she wasn’t!
Donna didn’t mention being peed on by her son, when he was newly arrived in this world and Donna was still in the hospital, until after I had told her about my nephew peeing on me!
Donna may be too much alike Anita Matlow for comfort! Damn if I want that again!

(acerca de 7:23 A.M.) To be “Bob Grahamish” about my daily reporting - Bob Graham is the Democratic senator from Florida that is overly-detailed in his journal - let it be known that I applied sunscreen to my face, arms, and neck yesterday, the first application in over a year!
You see, I figured weeding the park by the walking track would expose me to Phoebus, and I needed to provide a defense against It!
Saturday granny told me about a clump of grass and a dirt “mound” that was in front of the mailbox.
I didn’t respond quickly enough to prevent granny from removing what she saw as obstacles to the mail carrier.
I was awaiting the use of Bill’s flat-head shovel in order to scrape the rain gully clean.
I do things on my time table, not according to granny’s!

(acerca de 2:13 P.M.) “One person can, indeed, make a difference in society!” I assume “you” know that, by claiming the above, which I will agree is true, “you” must accept the death penalty. For if one person can do good, one person can do bad!
There is discussion that the military mu_h be more representative of the population. More democratic, which is why, in theory at least, Harry Truman integrated the armed forces. Yet how can the military be more like the non-military United States if homosexuals are formally denied admission?
I saw over 80% of THE NEWSHOUR WITH JIM LEHRER (5:30-6:26 P.M., P.B.S.) yesterday evening.
Many are harsh critics of the media. Yet the media is as it is - reporting more sensationalism than substance - because of the viewers!
The media is not the Fourth Estate! The media is a business. Criticism of it is criticism of capitalism.
The low-90⁰’s (F) and getting hotter! The brief Drizzle only served to refresh Humidity, to reload the air with water.
Amy and I “discussed” the Heat on the way “home,” and how I would much better be under a roasting sun than an Overcast hot day: The latter gives one a false sense of security! The damaging UV (ulta-violent) rays are what get “you,” not the “Yellow”!

(acerca de 3:17 P.M) “Lackadaisical”: I wonder if Amy knows what that word means? I used it during our conversation about the Heat and people exposing themselves to the sun.

(acerca de 3:21 P.M.) Excuse the interruption, but I was “called” by granny to put a casserole in the oven.
I have already seen the episode of SOUTH PARK twice before: The character “Towelie” is introduced. So between 8:30 and 9:00, I sampled P.B.S., MSNBC, C.N.B.C., C.N.N., and other stations.
I did learn that, when motion pictures were first introduced at the early part of the 20th century, the technology was as much of a “toy” as is the internet! HISTORY DETECTIVES (8-9:00 P.M., P.M., P.B.S.) told me so! And would HiSTORY DETECTIVES lie?
It is better to have no history than to only "learn” history from The History Channel and “shallow” history “lectures” such as HISTORY DETECTIVES, that present “history of dubious quality!
It happened again: I walked across the “field” separating the shop from Building “E,” in order to short cut through that building on the way to the courtyard. As “you” must know, that field is where a bad water leak is located. Water has spread out, and has saturated the ground in a ten feet or so radius. Months ago I dug a trench, hoping that the water would “escape” to the drainage ditch.
Anyway, as I was negotiating the water ground, an inmate - the same one that claimed he didn’t play around, yesterday - came out of the building (“E”) shaking his finger at me. He had the audicity to “lecture” me on tracking mud in the building! Of course he was correct, but I am not the only one that takes such a short cut, including Milt, Marvin, Eric, Ronnie, etc.
He told me that I shouldn’t even walk on the grass, another great point! But, he has no business, being such a smart-ass to me: He is only an inmate!
I wonder if I can use this insulting behavior from this inmate in my legal action against CACC?
Milt had a potted tree-like plant in the back of the CACC pick-up this morning. It came from the lobby and supposively was dying. So what was there to lose by transplanting it to one of the . . .

(acerca de 3:49 P.M.) (Another inter-ruption, this time to take the caserole out of the oven) . . . sidewalk-bordering garden “plots” (behind the Administration Building)?
I also took four “plantings,” a part of an “arrangement” that Milt has down at the shop (actually Milt de-ra_ted the four), and planted them in the same “bed,” but earlier than the former foyer plant.
I also “stold” two monkey grass-like plants from the park and “stationed” them by the stump.
Will it all stay alive and flourish? I will know in a week or two!
C.S.I.: MIAMI (9-10:00 P.M., C.B.S.): “Speed” stated that his detective work is only a job. Later in the episode, the viewer realize that what “Speed” said telegraphs his concern about a hobbyist detective, and his (“Speed’s) obsession with proving a smart-ass professional killer guilty using D.N.A.

(acerca de 8:23 P.M.) I don’t understand: I thought Leslie down graded her work schedule to part-time so that she could spend more time with Kayla!
It was a little after 8:21 that Kayla left after Leslie took a twenty-minute “5 minutes” to close down her office!
The child had come home with Joyce around 4:25.
Amy and I “discussed” the fact that dehydration of the water is as dangerous as “sun burn/UV poisoning”!
It’s “funny”: Does “Gone With The Wind” represent what Iraqi civilians are experiencing? The novel is concern with the response to war by a small group of people. The victims are made human. “Scarlett O’Hara” could very well be an Iraqi!
I still think “Hamlet” is a war play! I have seen the play performed without the Norway-Poland (?) war, but I don’t see how. Old Man Hamlet/The Ghost, decked out in his martial attire, is really meaningful i_ the war theme (or side-theme) i_ ignored.
In all probability, the draft filled the military with lots of homosexuals during the Vietnam War! I mean, the odds are that it did.
Homophobia rather than political suicide is most likely preventing a renewal of the draft!

(14th, About 6:31 A.M.) Amy told me yesterday afternoon, as she was driving me home via the bus, that the Heat stayed around until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. But that’s only when we’re lucky!
Yesterday evening I twisted the truth and told Joyce that I had “reminded” Ronnie about the lack of a water fountain at the walking track. I was sitting in the non-rocking arm chair and Joyce were on the south end of the couch, her usual place.
As Joyce went into the kitchen, she exclaimed, “I hope this is all you told him!” or some warning. It will be interesting to see how she will react if the EEOC contacts C.A.C.C.!
Kayla didn’t walk well with Deah yesterday evening: At the north side of the house, Kayla stared at something in the grass and “ignored” Deah when she strained to go forward. And, after having made the circuit around the backyard, near the kitchen door Kayla dragged Deah in order to hurry inside to avoid the truck spraying for mosquitoes (diesel fuel). Not that I blame her for this latter, but she should have let go of Deah’ leash.
In her fright, Deah turned to me!

(acerca de 2:05 P.M.) If I am to continue my membership in the Freedom From Religion Foundation, I must “tithe” forty dollars and more a year. That “offering” is in itself so like being associated with organized religion!
Call the FFRF “organized anti-religion”!
“Freethought Today,” the periodical of FFRF, is not worth $40! That “newspaper” is so puerille: Most of it is devoted to saying “I told you so!” to religion!
If one has to spend so much time proving the pernicious effect of “God,” then “God” actually exist. Just dismiss “God” and get on with “your” life!
Sure, the FFRF lauches legal challenges to the abuse of religion and “God,” but $40 worth?
The rationale used by the Bush administration for Faith-Based initiatives is that religious organizations already have the logistics in place with which to undertake “humanitarian” projects. And why is this? Because religious organizations are not required to pay taxes, a major expense of any business!
A person’s sexual orientation no more defines a “human” than does the color of her/his skin! It has taken this country over 200 years to get pass the latter! And there is still a long way to go, without the definition of “human” being complicated by the former!
I watched some of the debate in the United States Senate on C-Span (was it “2”?) that is being aimed at a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Most senators, although against “gag” marriage, can’t bring themselves to write discrimination into the constitution.
NEWSNIGHT WITH AARON BROWN (9-10:00 P.M., C.N.N.) dea_h with the debate and much more, although I only saw about thirty-five-forty minutes of the program.
Delay the election? George W. Bush must be getting desperate! And if he publically declared that the election should be delayed until after the war, then what more of an excuse does he need to keep the war going?
I doubt if Al Gore would have been able to overtake Bush in 2000, no matter what the Democrats had done! The way the electoral college is set up, it’s easy for a non-democratic outcome to come to pass!
It wasn’t nearly as hot as was rumored: Only the low-90⁰’s (F), and not the upper-90⁰’s!
I watered the flowers, but Phoebus will undoubtedly take the water from Them!
Humidity was - is - rough!
I was forced to carry an umbrella over my head when I weeded the park by the walking track shortly after noon! Be damn how I looked!
A fresh pack of cigarettes from Allen’s Food Mart: $2.15. That 22-cent raise in more like it!

(acerca de 3:45 P.M.) After Donna took a lady to Piggly Wiggly, I made mentioned of the fact that Amy drives way too recklessly. That if I was physically disabled, I would really “freak out”!
Donna told me that the elderly and the wheel chair-bound suffer, and have complained.
It all began when I told Donna that she has the “gift for/of gab”: She spoke to an elderly female African American that was about to get in the passenger side of a car (a “younger” female was with the women).
According to Donna, neither Mary nor Amy “ties” wheel chairs down with seat belts. It’s illegal, but that’s what Mary and Amy supposively do!
Donna has voiced concern to the district (?) office in Anniston, but Amy must have some kind of “pull” as Eric does.
Donna for Mayor? Donna said that she has been “encouraged” to run. By whom? Her “inner self”?
I stood in the open door of the bus and discussed the local political scene with Donna.
When Donna asked me what “district” this is, I couldn’t tell her! However, I did get in the term “gerrymander” when we “discussed” the division of the town into council seats.
Does she even know what “gerrymander” is?
“You see amusement on my face?” Kayla repeated that to me at the kitchen table yesterday. I figured Leslie had taught Kayla such a response, but Joyce said Kayla’s teacher did!
Another reason not to send Kayla to a private religious school!

(acerca de 4:37 P.M.) One day, oh I suppose last week, I prepared lunch (a TV dinner). But instead of putting the Carton in the trash and the knife (to cut the protective plastic from one of the sections of food, in the sink, I did it the “wrong” way around!
Kayla likes to pour dressing on my salad. So, as I usually do, I let her do so yesterday. But she poured too much! Intentionally?
As I said, she will be worse once she goes to religious school!
Occasionally, one sees a documentary or fiction film that one swears is a first-person account! That is, the “star” becomes “fixed” for all time in the mind of the viewers as how the subject of the documentary or fiction film actually looks!
Ken Burns said this about the voice of the actor that dubbed the voice of “Mark Twain” in the documentary of the writer. That “Mark Twain” really did the voice-over!

(acerca de 6:25 P.M.) Wind is telegraphing that Storm is on the way. Trees and bushes are bending over backwards for Wind!
And I have just heard Thunder! What’s next, Lightning?
Surely someone in the administration must be aware of the fact that delaying the presidential election is exactly the dis-ruption the terrorists desire!
The Bush administration told people after September 11, 2001, to continue with business as usual. But then it comes up with this idea! Delaying an election is not business as usual! This administration has done a lot of stupid things in the name of “fighting terrorism,” but this “suggestion” has to be the most damaging to the American way of life!
It is as if Osama bin Laden, or whoever was the mastermind of 9/11, is the behind-the-scenes president in the Bush administration!

(acerca de 7:34 P.M.) With my own eyes I saw an inmate walk through that soggy field between Building “E” and the shop, than shortcut “through” the Building “E”! I then realize that, indeed, it was me that the smart-ass older inmate dis-like! Not that it’s important, but does the guy resent me, for my superior ways, maybe? Does the man resent all white people?
I met him in the shop this morning. And we didn’t acknowledge each other!
Obviously, the man’s offense is his atitude: Not what he may have done, but how he did it! Or related to the court system
I forget which one, but one of the inmates - an African American - called me a hard worker.
I took one of Milt’s potted plants - with his knowledge - this morning from the shop and “turned it loose” in the topmost side-walk bordering flower beds. That’s why the water dropped by Rain, although not much, comes in handier than usual!
And of course, the lantanas in the park can always use some water, being that they “ain’t” getting any from me!
Jimmy Payne is a candidate for City Council. Donna claimed she talked to him about Amy.
I told Donna that I don’t follow local and/or state politics, but that a mayor, governor, or president is only a figurehead. The city manager - in Childersburg, that would be Sandra Donahue - runs the town.
Sandra Donahue has been at city hall much too long!

(15th, About 6:24 A.M.) I happened to be out of my room when Joyce arrived home late yesterday evening (around 7:30). On the way back to my room, I was asked by Joyce what I would be doing noon Friday.
Well, as “you” know, Friday is the day that I will be typing the official letter to the EEOC, complaining about my treatment at C.A.C.C.! I will have to go downtown to do so.
I also have things to buy at Dollar General, after withdrawing cash from The Bank.
If I didn’t know better, I would swear Joyce knew that I up to something! But actually what it is, is that Joyce manipulate events that will serve her interest only!
Joyce did that with marriage: It wasn’t interdependence, but a “me first” lifestyle for her!
Anyone that uses marriage to escape an external environment for one that one wants to be the cynosure is bound to fail! Every time!
Anyway, I will have a ride home at noon. If a car is not my transport in the morning, I will have to start out around 8:00: For I need at least an hour at the word processor! This will put me behind with writing!
If the bus could be trusted to change for one day only, I would “hire” it for 9:15. But then the bus might, or prabably, would start doing 9:15 every morning (which wouldn’t be so bad now that I think of it!).
Believe it or not, the situation interfered with my sleep! The thought of losing at least twenty-two hours of my weekend is troublesome! But more troublesome is the fact that I am being used!

(acerca de 7:40 A.M.) On page 18 of the June/July 2004 issue of “Freethought Today,” under a listing of “Walk in Atheist Shoes,” Michael Newdow, the champion of removing “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance, ___ because Dennis Miller, when Dr. Newdow appeared on Dennis Miller’s show, received more applause from the studio audience that he (Newdow) did.
I find it pathetic for Michael Newdow to be upset about Dennis Miller! That CNBC show is a take-off on “real” news program. And of course the “studio audience” will clap loudly for Dennis Miller: That is what the “studio audience” suppose to do!
This is what I mean by the puerility of the Freedom From Religion Foundation! Damn if I need that!
It was a Saturday. I was with David in his pick-up truck. We were in the driveway of Leslie’s house. I think we had just come back from Ryan’s restaurant.
Leslie, Joyce, and granny were side-by-side. David and I were in the truck. I told David that those three are alike. David thought I meant similar in physical appearance. They are, but David admitted that he shares that physiogomy.
No, I was referring to the fact that Leslie, Joyce, and granny are three pa__ to the same wh___. That Leslie and Joyce are each “granny-ish”! That Leslie and Joyce are more “granny-ish” than granny!

(acerca de 1:54 P.M.) Yesterday, before (or maybe after) I re-located a flower from the shop to the flower bed directly across from the stump, Milt “explained” to me that flowers go into a weak shock after transplantation. I knew that: I was reacting to previous replanting of house plants that Milt pulled from a vase in the shop.
I was in the bookstore most of the work day: Supplies for the Fall semester are arriving.
I was attending to “new” United States History books: They were stacked on the folding table under the drafting supplies.
As I was marking the text books, the table tipped over on me (I was aseated in a chair). Sheila Mitchell happened to be in the book store: I exclaimed that I knew that (the table tipping) would happen! I then stated, Then why d__ I d__ it?
I think Sheila felt I was referring to her by her reaction!
Basic math will be taught on computer, whereas advance math will be done the “old fashion way.” Doesn’t that seem backwards? What if the power fails: The student will panic, since s/he won’t know how to do math with paper and pencil!
(I used the example of “1 1”: Hazel and I were back with the books, and I illustrated my “lecture” by turning off the light.
Hazel was looking west, I east.)
Doug Sterns said that one he and Burt Yarborough tested how much water is “escaping” in the closet of Building “C”: They put a bucket under the drip. It was estimated that, in an eight-hour day, fifty gallons of water were lost.
Doug and Burt reported their findings to the former director of finances (?), Paul.
The leak was fixed.
I’m sure nothing has changed. If anything, more water is wasted! Both the water heater and the faucet are loosing water!
I was telling Hazel and Doug, who had come in the book store, about the waste of money at C.A.C.C.
Supposively, a new, improved book store will be begun in September. I tried to curb Hazel’s enthusiasm, given how things are left to “rot”!
SOUTH PARK (8:30-9:00 P.M.,Comedy Central) and SEX AND THE CITY (9-9:30 P.M., TBS) made up my evening television.
As the evening took over the day from afternoon, I was watching THE NEWSHOUR WITH JIM LEHRER (5:30-6:26 P.M., P.B.S.
I didn’t realize that Amy is the same age as Donna. Or that Amy had no children. That’s what Donna told me (the bus was on
Highway 76) as she voiced a bitch about Amy complaining about the heat when she (Amy) seldom confronts it!

(acerca de 2:54 P.M.) A suspended ten-day sentence: That’s what Eddie Mclain received by pointing a pistol at a woman and her son.
A slap on the wrist! And he is still on the county Board of Education! A perfect lesson for children that Crime does, indeed, pay!
Hazel and I discussed the case. Greg came in bookstore hoping to break the news to Hazel.
Milt, Marvin, and I “discussed” it in the office of the shop (Marvin was behind the desk eating a chicken dinner; Milt was in a chair by the western wall; and I was standing in the doorway).
It’s a wonder that a McLain received that “severe” of a punishment! Child endangerment should have been considered.
A speechwriter for former president Jimmy Carter was the guest on FRESH AIR (3-4:00 P.M., Public Radio). During the fifteen minutes that I listened to the program (while juggling), the male “explained” that the White House is like any other office place. Which explains why things don’t get done and the things that do are badly done!
A small modern circus is appearing at Vision land, an amusement park in Birmingham. After the ‘trailer” appeared on television one evening (Tuesday?)), I told Joyce that show was a cheap version of Cique du Soleil, the Canadian modern circus.
Ronald Reagan stated that the presidency is, in essence, the Board of Directors of a “corporation.” And he was correct!
The upper-80⁰’s (F) ruled today, although I stayed away from them as much as I could. Phoebus won’t allow Rain in.

(acerca de 3:46 P.M.) The new “new” math - as I reminded Hazel, there was “new” math thirty or so years ago; I remember Jane Russell, a Baha’i in Homewood, AL, where I was living at the time, commented on the “new” math - at C.A.C.C. is more for the instructor than for the student! S/he won’t have to grade papers anymore.
It makes “you” wonder why C.A.C.C. teacher make $30,000 a year!
If you can’t draw a tree you can’t abstract one! This piece of ‘wisdom” from Richard Pereles (1993 in Louisville, KY) applies to math on a computer: If one can’t do math off a computer, what happens when the computer “goes down”? As I said, I told this to Hazel.
One of the earlier things taught in trapeze training is the correct way of falling in the net, which can in itself be just as dangerous, if not more so, than the actual “flying.”
One must be able to drop an object and still continued to juggle if one wants to juggle!
Anyone can pick up 400 pounds! The problem is, Gravity wants to do it the same time a person does! One doesn’t lift 400 pounds, per se: What one must do is to trick Gravity into not lifting!
A weight lifter “grunts,” not at the weight, but as a challenge to Gravity.
“Louis,” the brother on EVEN STEVENS (The Disney Channel): Is that character based on “Archie Bunker” (ALL IN THE FAMILY)? “Louis’” behavior is as nerve-wrecking and appalling as “Archie Bunker’s” is!

(acerca de 5:11 P.M.) A member of Al Qaeda recently turned himself in. The man met Osama bin Laden once or twice. On the bases of that alone, the Bush administration is “bragging” that it has an associate of bin Laden in captivity!
But even if the man is - or was - close to Osama bin Laden, might not he be only setting-up the United States?
The man is wheel chair-confined: Is that only a trick?

(acerca de 6:26 P.M.) The “captured” Al Qaeda operative: He claims to want free medical care. How will this all play out?
Sandra Wilson (Talent Search) came into the bookstore with her hair in a bun and wearing an evening gown. The latter made her look good of course, but the former? It only made her look old!
Sandra knows that I have a nephew named “David,” which is what Sandra usually calls me. But she promised to do better in the future!

(16th, About 8:19 A.M.) Around 11:45 yesterday, I left the bookstore and went for a smoke “break” in my usual outside northeast corner of Building “F.” Afterwards I went to the shop, a “cocky,” superior feeling permeating my body.
I began to yo-yo with a yellow Talent Search yo-yo that was (is) on top of a stack of tiles.
I told Milt I was taking wagers on whether the bookstore will, indeed, be expanded this fall. He replied “September of ___,” a year in the future. I stated September 2011!
Then we got to taking about how the police are nothing more than “legalized” criminals.
I was invited to be the “guest of honor” in the office while Marvin ate a chicken dinner at the desk (I have already recorded the physical disposition of our - Marvin, Milt, and I - butts).
A male executed a citizen’s arrest on a police officier. The way Marvin described it, the arrest was only a simple matter. A cop “ran” a stop sign, and two private citizens ticketed him.
Pretending that Marvin was not relating an untruth, making a citizen’s arrest on a police is not good policy!
I “explained” the intellectual status of Childersburg Chief Police Ginright (?), in the late-1950’s when chief. Marvin said he wasn’t born until 1963. I teased him, and winked at Milt when he said this.
Previously, the three of us had “discussed” the driving quality of the Police: “They” speed, “they” run stop signs/traffic lights, etc.
The mayor of Hapersville was discovered to be using water at no charge, etc.
That smart-ass inmate enterred the office and showed Milt and Marvin a picture in a magazine. He ignored me, confirming my suspicions.
Technically, one doesn’t die of AIDS: AIDS is a syndrome. But that’s splitting hairs!
AIDS weakens the body to allow other diseases to ravish the body.
An open wound can, indeed, “invite” harmful bacteria into the body. As I thought later, this is how steph infection develops: A surgeon’s-induced opening in the body.
Food can be more hurtful than beneficial! Given all the genetically-modified food, eating is slow suicide!
The Jewish restriction against pork is not religious: If pork is not prepared correctly, it is deadly, just as the blowfish, or some kind of poison-containing sealife, can be toxie is not prepared as it should - must - be.
Beef can also be a killer is not cooked properly!
Yesterday evening I accidentally spilled some mouthwash on my mattress. I can’t swear to it, but I think I may have killed some fleas!

(acerca de 12:28 P.M.) Well, it is done! The formal complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission - the EEOC - has been submitted! Or the letter is on the way: I rented the bus and, at the library, typed it! Although I wasn’t sure if the trip would even take place! The bus was twenty minutes later than I had been promised yesterday afternoon by Donna. I was cursing her, come 9:45!
I was in my room when the bus finally arrived at around 9:50: Granny yelled to me that it was here. I had given up on it.
I was forced to shop at Family Dollar, as opposed to Dollar General, simply because the latter is 2-3 “blocks” further and time was of the essence.
Mouthwash, Floss, a birthday card, a 4-pack of “AA” batteries, and a 2-pack of “C” batteries: $7.02. I was hoping that Family Dollar would never again get my money, but the EEOC letter was too urgent to worry about a bargain store!
The A.T.M. at The Bank had vomited $20-bill into my hand (right), soon after departing the bus: Donna had delivered me to the parking area.
According to Donna, it was the elderly that had made her late. That very well could be the case, but it could have also been an excuse!
30-cents for two sheets printed out; two-37-cents stamps from the post office.
Joyce and Kayla came for me around 11:42. It was a stressful day for a non-work day! This is why working is so relaxing!
Joyce continues to urge me to go full-time on Housekeeping! She obviously thinks that mopping and cleaning toliets is all I deserve to do! Which is why I contacted EEOC!
John Kerry spode at the NAACP convention! I was “in attendance” (well, with C-Span’s help) for a portion of the speech, from about 8:20 until around 9:04.
Then I watched WITHOUT A TRACE (9-10:00 P.M., C.B.S.), not having seen the show in a while.
Not at all satisfied with NIGHTLINE, I watched the first half of THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN (10:35-11:35 P.M., C.B.S.).

(acerca de 1:20 P.M.) If “Gone With The Wind” is good history, the post-Sherman’s March from Atlanta to the sea was as much of a New World for the South as post-9/11 is for all of the United States! As I have always claimed, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, weren’t unique as the Bush administration wants the people to believe! But to promote his non-existent “leadership qualities,” George W. Bush has most likely convinced himself that 9/11 was a new challenge that, if not for him, would overpower the United States!
The Iraqi “ambassador” to the United States appeared on THE NEWSHOUR WITH JIM LEHRER (5:30-6:23 P.M., P.B.S.) yesterday. Listening to her answers to Mr. Lehrer’s questions, it is obvious that the lady is more the Bush administration than the Allawi administration: She sounded a lot like Condoleezza Rice!
The Allawi “administration” doesn’t represent the Iraqi people: It is only the Iraqi Governance Office of the U.S. Department of State!
The “criticism” of the Allawi administration levied against the Co-alition forces: The United States wants the Allawi administration to appear as “real,” so it allows a degree of criticism!
Was that woman really from Iraq? The entire thing may have been staged, you know! Surely the NEWSHOUR wouldn’t consent to such a scam!
You know what I was thinking on the way to work Thursday (or Wednesday) morning? That John McCain must appear to be a good Republican and supporter of George W. Bush if he wants to continue representing Arizona in the United States Senate. It is not 100% certain that John Kerry will “win” in November, and John McCain doesn’t want to take any chances.

(acerca de 2:32 P.M.) Marvin told me, was it last week?, that Ronnie doesn’t want any inmates inside the administration building. Joyce and I “discussed” that fact this morning.
Was I made a “guest of honor” in the office of the shop yesterday because Milt felt sorry for me? I had no reason being at the shop: I am on book store duty for a while!
The mid-80⁰’s (F): I trust Rain will take care of the flowers this weekend and while I am “away”!
Speaking of flowers: Someone had placed several dead or dying plants (complete with vases) by the street behind the post office. I know: I went there to smoke. I almost took one home in a plastic bag, but I really don’t know how long it will be before I will get back out to the “gardens”!
Though Phoebus is making Itself known, the Clouds are closing in on the day.
A local television news story, while watching the “local” evening news earlier this week (?), reported that a large dog had done damage to a small child. A male animal behaviorist stated that the child was only a chew toy for the dog, and s/he needed training.
In other words, the dog was at fault.
Well, what about the fact that the child used the dog, in all probability, as a toy? It was two kids rough housing, and the non-human “child” won!
The child should have been trained to respect the dog as another life form, and not as an animated stuffed animal! And the parents should have been trained to not have a dog just to be a “toy” for a child!

(acerca de 4:10 P.M.) Thinking with one’s wrong head. That’s what Milt and I discussed yesterday: Marvin have left the office.
One’s wrong head? How about one’s other head, does that help?
Oh for Pete’s sake: The head of the penis! Many males - no matter how smart - get into trouble by thinking with their wrong head!
According to Hazel, several of the inmates (former?) almost became violent towards Anna when she was in charge of Housekeeping. So it wasn’t only me that saw the worse of inmates, as I told Hazel yesterday.
Remember the man that spoke about AIDS and STD’s in the Cafetorium one afternoon before Spring Break/ Milt was telling me that he and Marvin had talked to the man before the presentation.
Kids will “do it,” I don’t care if the man was trying to put the “fear of God” into the young people! Apparently he was doing a worse-case scenerio after al!
Can one get AiDS from a mosquito? The sex man told Milt and Marvin one can’t. He is most likely correct - after all, he studies AIDS - but the jury is still out on the true nature of AIDS! (continued)
