S'not what matters

Sun, 19 May 2013 01:19:00 GMT

My truck driver was killed a day or so ago - very suspicious circumstances and not related to the road.
I have been behaving as a rumor courier this way and that way. Nothing I can link to this story shows up on internet news - maybe nobody gives a &+(# when your driver dies.
I ain't going to tell you the rumors.
All I want to say is this man should not have died this way.

Window of the Soul

Today's experience (eye measurements for cataract treatment) got me thinking that I have seen some very strange things since the retina came loose on March 20 - most of the images are generated by computer controlled machines to record the workings of one's problem eye, some are just artifacts of a specialist focusing an intense light through your dilated iris and others are what you recall of actual operations.

T'would be amusing if it was not so sad

For me it's a bit shallow aND i AIN'T BRAGGING.
I'm complaining.
I travel a bit and I can MANAGE A "SQUAT TOILET" - built quite a number in my time with Aid Orgs.

Just sayin' eh.

Woke up this morning in an hotel room looking out at other high rise buildings in the early dawn.
We made it to an 0600 hr. appointment on the Campus of the University where Tloml and I met about 45 years ago and I drove back to 506 by 0630. There's not much traffic at that time of day.
