The furnace and humidifier are being worked
on. – you have a saddle valve in need of rectifying according to Larry. –

0808 hours. I wasn’t sure rectifying was the correct
word choice so I looked it up. The Oxford/American says it can be used
accordingly but it doesn’t seem quite cricket to me.
Tough beans, orndorff. If it were wrong, who
would be to blame? Working through your awkward translating field is like
walking through a mine field. Make one wrong step and boom, you miss the point
or miss-translate it, which can actually be worse. What do you think of them
apples, boy? – Amorella
0813 hours. Mostly all it means is that I am doing two
things at once, working from one part of my mind, while mostly my imagination
is working from the other.
Why is it you are suddenly reminded of:

One of Philae’s goals is
to provide evidence that the organic chemicals on a comet are sufficiently
similar to the building blocks of life to support the comet impact theory
for abiogenesis.
A key factor is whether Comet 67P (and by extension other comets) contain
predominantly right- or left-handed molecules.
Many molecules come in
one of two forms, known as stereoisomers, which chemists designate as left- or
right-handed. These two forms are identical apart from the fact that they are
mirror images of each other.
Your hands are a perfect
analogy. Structurally, they are the same except for the fact that you can’t
superimpose one on the other. And so it is with stereoisomers.
Strangely, life on Earth is based entirely on
left-handed molecules. It is perfectly possible to make the right-handed
versions, but life just doesn’t. Where this preference for left-handedness
comes from is a mystery.
One theory is that the bias came from within the chemistry of comets. In the
comets, right-handed molecules may have been preferentially destroyed by a
combination of sunlight (to provide energy to trigger chemical reactions) and
liquid water (with which the organic compounds could react).

You are speculating, rather wildly, with a new
hypothesis – that I am your mind in a right-handed version while you are your
mind in the more traditional left-handed version, uh, so to speak. Is this
correct? – Amorella
0926 hours. You expressed the thought better than I
could. I had no idea how to express it because I didn’t know the particulars of
how such a guise would operate. Perhaps though if such a thing were possible it
would give me a ‘sense’ that you were alien-like but angelic-like in motivation
– not intuitive here, just an
awareness out of kilter. It is like having a sense of hundreds of perspectives
(evirons) with the ability to float through them, or rather drift through any
one of them at most any time. Now, can this be placed in Merlyn’s corner? Or,
Milton’s corner for that matter? Personalities (characters) are as loose
fitting clothes, except for you Amorella.
1321 hours. I finally have a list. I had to add two generations to the Scottish side. Here it is:

Later
afternoon. You are at Kroger’s. Carol has to pick up food for Mary Lou’s
Thanksgiving dinner and drop it off tomorrow after you drop off Ellie the Cat
and have a quiet lunch with Kim. You are thinking about constructing a
continuing list of genealogy up into the fifteen hundreds. Your thought is to
drop in a copy of what you already have and change the dates and names when
appropriate by underlining the new names and dates as you delete the others
from the format. This is reasonable enough, as you have found a format that
works for you without going through genealogical software. Also, it has a
similar format on the page as chess notations. Your assumption here is that if
there are “Spooky alignment[s] of quasars across billions of light years” there
can be spooky alignments within the genetic foundations of the Living and the
Dead. Who is going to argue against it when you are making the suggestion not
proof? To you, Reality may be stranger still. – Amorella
2106 hours. We watched the last of “The Blacklist”
tonight and a few other shows besides. I had baked beans and hot dogs for
supper; Carol had mostly snacks. She is busy ironing her clothes. I am almost
ready for bed. Ellie has no idea where she is going tomorrow. Carol will put her
on her lap for the entire trip. The poor cat does not travel well. This may be
the last time she comes down for a visit. We like Ellie. She puts on a tough
cat front but she has never struck out at the boys. Owen treats her well;
Brennan needs a couple more years. Ellie mostly avoids him.
