Notes - Man Sitting / no reason

      Very early Tuesday morning. Last evening you saw a piece of media propaganda that has left you feeling eerily stunned by this (to you) piece of timeless art - a picture of Trump super imposed over a picture of Hitler with a swinging swastika over Trump. You think, ‘too much use of anger and hate’. – Amorella

       0426 hours. ‘Do I share this piece of propaganda on my Facebook page?’ I feel an obligation to do so. I stood in a railway car at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. I remember the image from father’s photographs from the concentration camps – one of the most beautiful images of naked human dignity I have ever witnessed. (My father helped liberate Dachau; this picture is one of several the U.S. Army distributed to those who were a part of the liberation at all the camps.)

       Your title of this photograph among the others in your hand is “Man Sitting”. When you and Bob Pringle were at the Holocaust Museum and were sharing the photographs in the museum’s archives room the woman in charge pulled up a larger photograph of the same and told you this man’s name (which you have forgotten). Present the picture of “Dignity” here and post.. – Amorella

       Mid-afternoon. You had a late lunch with a Potbelly’s takeout and sat in the McDonalds’ lot on Mason-Montgomery Road so you could watch the cars go by. Presently Carol is in at Kroger’s and you are sitting in the lot next to the north door. The propaganda image you saw earlier (Hitler/Trump) is no longer on Facebook, at least you couldn’t find it, so now that’s a moot point. You are beginning to see Word software problems creeping up and are wondering if you should be installing a newer program. – Amorella

       1510 hours. I was really upset about that propaganda piece on FB this morning. I don’t like Trump but the propaganda tactics being used against him are very much like those used by the Germans before and during WWII. I think I’ve lived too long when I see such a display of media. Trump doesn’t help himself and/or doesn’t really care. If people were comparing me to being Hitler-like I would be doing some serious thinking on my civil behavior. Being polite though rarely cuts like a knife. Such is the world we live in and do not or will not change for the betterment of our species. We don’t have the time – we are still in a ‘survival mode’ as individuals and individual family tribes. Work, rest and relax. The community takes care of social concerns, water, sewage and roads, etc.

      

       You are home. Carol is working in the yard though it is still wet from rain with more rain coming tonight. The windows are open and a cat is at each front window taking in the mid-Spring sights and aromas. Tomorrow you have lunch with Rich, Bud and a couple other hardware/software engineers. Thursday you are to Kim and Paul’s to babysit until Kim returns from a day’s business at Smuckers, which they are taking on as a client. You will miss seeing Fritz for lunch and your Class Supper but being with the boys is a good and fun cause in itself. - Amorella 

       Dusk. Carol is making scrambled eggs with special ingredients and veggies for supper. You watched NBC News and the last episode of the season,  “Madam Secretary” earlier. In your MacAir you found a copy, a photograph of your great-grandfather, grandfather, father and yourself taken at your great-grandfather’s farm near Centerburg, Ohio after the war in the 1946. Drop it in. – Amorella

       2221 hours. I see no reason to do so.
