Notes - fabric / fuel



       Afternoon. You are going out for a late lunch then stopping at the groceries. Carol is making soup for this brisk, cold and cloudy March-like day. – Amorella

       1514 hours. Late lunch at Smashburgers and we are now at Kroger’s on Tylersville. Very dreary morning, I didn’t wake up until nine and I didn’t do my exercises until after twelve because I had gone back to sleep, at least two hours worth. Carol thinks I’m getting a cold. We’ll see.

       Home. You have scraped the twenty-five and fifty percent summaries for a closer eyeball check on the last three Pouch segment chapters. Your plan, now that you have a better drafting is to do them at the same time. Before you go further why don’t we do the same on the previous chapter segments – go through them drafting as if it is continuous without chapters at all. – Amorella

       1652 hours. I don’t think that will work Amorella. You can’t have a novella without chapters. Besides, it won’t flow without stops.

       Just put it together with a chapter number as a stop but no headings or chapter markings. – Amorella

       1656 hours. I don’t like the ring of it. It sounds like some racy cheap-papered piece of erotica – a poorly written modernized version of Fanny Hill by John Cleland in 1748. I hadn’t thought about the comparison of Nymphomania’s plots with Fanny Hill but it is certainly there. Funny.

       You had Alta’s turkey soup for supper – quite delicious from your perspective. Currently Carol is talking on the phone with her sister Linda so you sit in the living room thinking about your reading of the latest Discover while suppering. - Amorella

       1812 hours. The best article focuses on Einstein’s thought questions (in physics) but I am more interested in what ‘original’ thoughts are and how they come to be. I almost always find myself leaning towards Plato rather than Aristotle even though I mostly know better. We don’t have the tools yet to better analyze how a simple thought mushrooms into something much more – a thought problem. Einstein kept it simple and let the ‘story-line’ tell the tale that became a catalyst for imagination and more storylines. The most interesting article though was the last one in the magazine, the one on bug bites. Is there a connection between the first article I mention and the last? I don’t know, but deep down I would like to hope that there is one. Of course there is one, human beings wrote both articles, but I’d like to think there is something beyond this but something not as nebulous as Obi Wan Kenobi’s ‘Force’.

       You suddenly realize that you have stripped your outer layers of physical reason to build on spiritual reasoning instead. – Amorella

       1827 hours. I feel I should be rather embarrassed by my lack of mental clothing here but I will disguise it by spinning a piece of Platonic fabric rather than one of Aristotle’s to cover myself here.

       You are back from a sojourn to Kroger Fuel as the price with ten cents off is $1.959per gallon. Most places in the area are presently $2.299. – Amorella

       2241 hours. Fuel cost $26.00 for 13 gallons; we had 500 miles since the last fill up a month ago. This was with two trips to and from Kim and Paul’s – 38.5 mpg rounded off and attempting to average 76 mph on the freeway where safely plausible. I find this fuel business relatively exciting.
