The last day of the month. Start new notes tomorrow. Today you are waiting on delivery of kitchen appliances. Sears is late but you are second on the truck so they will be by this morning. It is mid-morning and the cat is complaining because she is stuck in the bedroom into the transfer of appliances has been completed. > The refrigerator was too tall so it was a cancelled delivery. You and Carol drove over to Sears and picked out a Kenmore elite which may just fit height-wise. Carol is thinking on waiting until May and forgetting the rebate.
Chapter five, let’s start with the chess this time. > You ran into a problem, mostly from converting from chess notations to words for easier explanation. You will have to change the previous chapters but I would continue as you are doing and see what happens. > Make the chess connotations for chapters one through five up to date here.

You were looking up material on Merlyn and found this information from:
“Arthur legends date back to the 6th Century. They are spread wide across the British mainland from Cornwall to the very northern tip of Scotland. So why go against popular ideology, and put Arthur in Scotland, rather than England or Wales? Because it is more likely that he did in fact come from Scotland.
Here is some of the evidence supporting this idea:
1. The extinct volcano in the centre of Edinburgh, Capital city of Scotland, has been known as Arthur’s Seat for centuries.
2. Merlin’s Grave is near the River Tweed.
3. Some experts believe that Camelot was based at the ancient Scottish castle of Tantallon, others that Edinburgh was the actual site of Camelot.
4. There has always been some mystery surrounding the burial place of King Arthur, , but Scotland has a definite place for his grave, not far south of Edinburgh.
5. There is some evidence that Sir Lancelot was a Pictish warrior, the son of the King of the Lothians. Gareth and Gawain, brothers and both knights of the Round Table, were from Orkney in the far north of Scotland.
6. A mountain named Ben Arthur rises in the hills near Dumbarton.
7. There is a site known as Arthur's Oven near Stirling, and an earthworks called The Round Table.
8. Lanark has Arthur's Fountain.
9. Guinevere is linked to Perth in legend.
10. Angus has Arthur's Fold and Arthur's Stone, and another hill called Arthur's seat.
11. The town of Kincardine has a legendary connection with Mordred.
12. Historians agree that whatever Arthur was, Welsh, Cornish, Scottish, he most certainly was not English. His fame was in fighting against the Angles and the Saxon invaders of ancient Britain.”
I was trying to see what I could find on Merlyn as I would like to see him watching the progress of the chess game from Avalon in this chapter. Of course this would have happened centuries before his death so I am not sure how the media for this can be arranged. I just like the idea of it, that he can, on the ‘chessboard of thought and light’ move to wherever he ‘senses’ he should be at the moment now that he has ‘become’ queen powered as far as the board is concerned.
Chapter Five
Scene 1
A long way Thales’s mental focus on branches, nests, and Elysium, deep within the looped entanglement of roots of the tree of thought and light, lies the esoteric and fantastical grave of the Fates missing letter Paradise. The letter, like no other, is being prodded, toyed with, and if you will, played. How it slid from an accidental leaf back into root alone, is a mystery to all of higher consciousness, who have been bred into cells of life. Its mistranslated story is likewise misunderstood throughout all the leaf-like universes grown from original said roots. The game of allegorical chess has its present moves.
Merlyn stood in a private aside, surprised at what he could see from Avalon when he lay on his bed in his privacy room and stared, asleep and tranced into the area a few inches above his toes. All he had to do was to stare at his long toes, which he no longer really had, of course, appeared to burst into reddish-orange spiritual flames with a mark of blue now and then. Above the flames rose atmospheric-like distortions of heat rising in a desert. Within the rising heat from no flames and no toes, an image of the great board sat at a favorable tilt and he could and did watch a figuration of the chess game from this thirteenth move on.
