Notes - Grandma 3 completed working on Pouch 3

         Mid-morning. The tree cutting service will be here today and Carol ordered a window whose seal is broken and two screens replaced. She has been busy cleaning windows, as it is a pleasant cooler morning. The furnace is shut off and the windows are open. – Amorella

         0931 hours. It feels like a late September morning.

         Mid-afternoon and you finished a delightful and productive Subway picnic lunch at Rahe Park near Fosters along the Little Miami. Carol has just begun Chapter Fifteen, page 185 of Tami Hoag’s Dark Horse while you completed Grandma Three, cleaned the desktop and set up work documents for Pouch Three. – Amorella

         1557 hours. We had another late lunch, this time we were waiting for the tree trimming crew to complete their work. They did an excellent job just like the last time we used them. I am happy Grandma 3 is completed. I hope it is the essence of the original Grandma 3 in Running Through. It was really enjoyable to put together. Funny how this works. When I read the raw segments from Running Through I am reminded of how much these many characters meant to me at their creation and their worth and use in the story. Lots of names are being purged for this work.

         They rest in another book, boy. What you now call your ‘draft’ book – nothing wrong with that. In your case trimming words helps with growth. Carol is ready to go. Later, - Amorella

         Neat selection of a short BBC article I am dropping in to remind me of present scientific cosmology in a nutshell.

Big Bang: How the Universe was created

Science & Environment

If the Big Bang theory is true, how did it lead to all the planets, stars and galaxies we can see today? Thanks to a series of calculations, observations from telescopes on Earth and probes in space, our best explanation is this.

Around 13.8 billion years ago, all the matter in the Universe emerged from a single, minute point, or singularity, in a violent burst. This expanded at an astonishingly high rate and temperature, doubling in size every 10-34 seconds, creating space as it rapidly inflated. Within a tiny fraction of a second gravity and all the other forces were formed. Energy changed into particles of matter and antimatter, which largely destroyed each other. But luckily for us some matter survived. Protons and neutrons started to form within the first second; within minutes these protons and neutrons could fuse and form hydrogen and helium nuclei. After 300,000 years, nuclei could finally capture electrons to form atoms, filling the Universe with clouds of hydrogen and helium gas. After around 380,000 years it left behind a bath of photons – the Cosmic Microwave Background that Penzias and Wilson accidentally detected. Within this were tiny ripples of matter that were stretched to enormous sizes during inflation, and in turn these became the seeds for the galaxies and galactic clusters we see today.

         Post, Amorella

         Dusk. You had left over baked beans, veggies and cereal for supper. Carol had veggies and fruit. You watched “Under the Dome” and you both watched “Rizzoli and Isles” and NBC News. You have been working on the first four chapters of Pouch in Running Through, digging out material that might be useful and important to mention in the GMG.Two edition, at least in part. Go back and re-read Pouch Two, Bk.Two and we’ll start and finish Pouch 3 tomorrow. – Amorella

         2054 hours. I rather doubt we’ll complete Pouch 3 tomorrow, but who knows. I would feel better knowing what it is about.

         It’s already completed in your head boy, it’ll dawn on you. Keep working from the heart, something you are not doing at present. All for tonight, boy. Post. - Amorella
