Almost time for bed. You spent a good part
of the day waiting for your MacAir (built in late 2010) to download new
software to upgrade your operating system to OS X, Version 10.9 (13A603) –
Maverick. It was a free upgrade, which at first look appears to be quite
comprehensive in its efficiency. The problem is that you will have to relearn
Page as it also had an upgrade of its own after loading 10.9 first. The whole
iWorks program was also loaded for free. – Amorella
2242 hours. I think this will be a fine upgrade but it will take
some getting used to.
Carol gave blood today and to celebrate you
both had a good lunch at Outback, smoked salmon for Carol and a six ounce
sirloin for you (you shared a salad and each had a favorite dessert). You also
drove to Joseph Toyota to check on a couple facts about the car. It turns out
you bought the Technical Package A and not B as you thought. – Amorella
2247 hours. It was a bit of a shock. We drove over because I could not get the pre-collision
system to work. It turns out the car does not have it. That system was an extra
$2,000. I should have known it was too good of a deal. However, Carol and I
talked. We really love the car and it has the safety features we really need. I
will just have to continue to pay close attention to the cars in front of me.
This should not be a problem, at least for a few more years. Excellent reader
that I once was, I missed that there were two tech packages; I thought that
because it is the ‘Limited’ model it had both – no wireless phone charging
either. We did save the $2000 so we have no complaints. We really are quite
satisfied with the car as is. I was angry (at myself) for a time but Carol
calmed me down. She loves the car and it is
her car.
As
far as the operating system is concerned I didn’t know anything about it until
late last night. It was supposed to download in 11 hours, but it paused during
the night and I had to finish it in the morning. Then it took even more time to
boot it up. Hey, it was free; and even if it weren’t it still would have taken
the time. I have also been looking to buy a new iPad mini 2 when it comes out
in November. If I don’t find a use for the old one I’ll give it to Owen if Kim
and Paul think it is okay to do so. Do I get 16 GB storage or 32 GB? That’s the
next question. I have been reading about that also as well as discovering more
useful aspects of the new iPhone 5s. There is no sense having these
technological wonders if I don’t find good practical personal ways to use them.
I haven’t scanned Pouch 5 for a while. I don’t remember what it was about and
how the “Satisfaction” theme plays a part. (2305)
Save it for tomorrow, young man. See you in
the morning. Post. – Amorella
Not literarily I hope.
No, I don’t see you literarily, Richard.
That is how you see me except for a sketch or two.- Amorella
2307 hours. When I was finishing up Grandma 5 I used the words
“no-where” out of the blue and immediately thought my old friend Bob Pringle
sent them on to me. “No-where” sounds like Bob, not myself, and not you either.
Let’s see this in context:
** **
The soul is not what people
think, at least not those in here. Many assume it is the foundation of humanity
but that is not the case in this bit of fiction. The foundation of humanity is
in gravity first and mass second. The soul is not indebted to either gravity or
mass. The soul alone is without need of a shell to protect heartanmind. The
soul alone is nothing. The soul alone is as a human being with a mind but
without a heart to give the mind meaning.
You measure once, you measure twice,
and much to your surprise
How fast and long the logic runs for
the brain to theorize.
My goddess stands here, your god stand
there, on a frontal stone bare
The brain in the body is stuck; but the
mind runs free and unaware
In all the while, this story, moon-like
themed and bright, sums
The waning and waxing heartanmind
[that] burns soulless and no-where runs.
From Grandma 5 (final)

I
forgot to add ‘that’.
So you did.
The lines sound like lines my friend Thomas Robert Pringle would
write.
