More Cool Mornings, More Warm Days

 Terrific weather now compensates for the past few months of monster heat. All goes well. Steady as she goes, and all that good stuff, as the HMS Indomitable sails on into the fog. I hope I'm not on the wrong ship. But it probably doesn't matter because there is only one destination. 










I've ordered GNOSIS from Amazon, and it is supposed to be a very good compendium and commentary on gnostic thought. Currently re-reading ULYSSES and reviewing some mathematical physics. I'm very rusty. I've neglected the hard stuff. And I've been enjoying Quote Acrostics. Still getting lots of exercise with free weights, machines, and 30 sweaty minutes three times a week on a treadmill.

Cool Mornings And Warm Days

 Nice weather! The warmth is just right and the cool mornings with heavy dew are perfect for outdoor work and I did that this morning. I make great progress clearing away the summer's vegetation. It's very satisfying to work on the land, and I spoke recently with a woman who had Mennonite connections. It sounded like a very healthy way to live, although I would advocate for more education. You can still live a simple life on the land and at least finish high school. College, on the other hand is bloody expensive and would be useless.

People Are To Be Avoided

 Most of them are either at least neurotic, or batshit crazy. 










I like it when people are rational and self-contained, with a minimum of emotional needs.

Lagging!

 Beautiful weather is on tap this week, and I have a lot of photos in my various cameras that need to be transferred to computer and I'm lagging on the job-- there is too much to do. Work to be done here, and work to be done there, and so on. 





Hundreds of photos, perhaps 500 or so, and so little time to do stuff.

Record Highs

 Today and tomorrow record highs but mornings remain quite cool. Dramatic temperature swings. Next week should be much better.
