Notes - Drenakite / a bit of wit / photo error / Dad H




       Leaning towards noon. Carol is off walking. You are facing west sitting under a large Maple next to the   Whitaker mausoleum on the left and Dodds' family stone on the right . . . another beautiful day in the neighborhood, eh boy? - Amorella
       1157 hours. Yes, it is. I need to get a shot of the cemetery from Google Earth.
       If you are going to do that get one from Otterbein also to compare the sizes. - Amorella
       You left for a Subway lunch at Rahe's Scenic River Park on the Little Miami. The river is still up and full flowing but at least one fellow getting ready to go out on his canoe. You assume he will leave his car and trailer here then get a ride from the canoe livery at Loveland; have them hold his canoe until he can get back and pick it up. - Amorella
       1315 hours. Maybe he'll get a ride with Uber. Who knows. Carol is on page 6 of Driving Force by Dick Francis. The paperback looks like one of Linda's old one; even the pages are yellowed. How is going to be with Soki's part in chapter 22?
       Let's go to it. - Amorella
       Here is what you have after twenty some minutes of 'work'. - Amorella

TWENTY-TWO.bk.2.1
Untitled

       Soki here. Ship is communicating with Onesixanzero, let's listen in.
** **
      1337 hours. I don't know who is communication with whom at the moment. Obviously, it isn't going to be in English. Shoot, maybe it will be in a chanted regional Marsupialese that sounds somewhat like a Medieval Gregorian chant. (1343)
       I am rather pleased with the concept, machines that communicate in an ecclesiastical chant. Remember who Onesixanzero's last teacher was. - Amorella
       1348 hours. No, I don't. The high priest or priestess, that's all I remember. I'll look it up. I think it is in chapter six of book two. -- I was right, chapter six.
** **
         "About ten feet from the ten-foot small tower structure standing under a dark five foot peaked roof enclosing Onesixanzero stands Drenakite, a 470 year old female, a nearly naked and hairless sacerdotal priestess. From a human perspective Drenakite appears to be a healthy elder woman who weighs about 134 pounds. She wears a long silk-like wrap-around dark green dress from waist to ankles, open-toed leather sandals and a white sailor’s cap whose circular bill can be turned down. Her appearance and manner is similar to that of a Buddhist monk. Drenakite is the lone refurbrisher of Onesixanzero.
         What the Cleric of ThreePlanets knows is that Onesixanzero is a singular biochemical and tri-quantum field thought-reason-emotional analysis speculator based on advanced marsupial and human elements of consciousness and unconscious behaviors. Onesixanzero is used for searching and analyzing measurable language and quantum mathematical difference between poetry and physics. His secret verbalized name for full functioning is CreekanRoof spoken only in a particularly slow and delightful West Virginia dialect."
From chapter six, book two (GMG), pouch segment

         You are home. Post. - Amorella


         1501 hours. I forgot Drenakite's name as well as that she is the Cleric of ThreePlanets. What a working password name "CreekanRoof" in a present day south-central West Virginia American dialect. No Marsupial humanoid would get that in a million years, no machinery either.
       You don't know how to pronounce Drenakite, do you? - Amorella
       1530 hours. Here's how I have pronounced it "D-ren-A-kite". 
       A closer pronunciation would be "Der-Na-Kit" rhyming a bit with 'tourniquet'. - Amorella
       1555 hours. That's fine with me, I kind of like it with the rhyme.  Why don't I just change the name? No one will know.
       The English spelling and pronunciation is more authentic. - Amorella
       1958 hours. What wit, Amorella. Of course it's more authentic. Very funny. 
       You watched "Greta", NBC News, and "Hard Ball" and ate light suppers somewhere in the middle. You reminded Carol she has a breakfast in the morning. A fellow from 'Gutter Guard' came out and cleaned the gutters for free, you gave him a twenty dollar tip. Tomorrow at noon a fellow from Air Authority will come inspected the heat pump for its efficient summer running. No problems expected. On Friday you are to Fritz's law office to sign the updated wills, etc. Marsha Short called today to see about lunch in mid-June in Mason; however, you will be in Florida so you plan to set something up in July in the Columbus area. - Amorella
       2008 hours. It was good to talk. We have not seen her since Dave's funeral a year ago last March. If we had been free in June we were going to have lunch with Marsha and Bob and Sue Clawson somewhere nearby. Sorry we are missing that.

       You are a bit tired as well as full from supper (too many snacks as well as veggies). A nap would have been helpful earlier. When we do continue work on chapter twenty-two let's work on this document rather than the chapter document itself. And, before we do that I'll outline the discussion in advance so you can more easily follow the purpose. Later, dude, or tomorrow. Post. - Amorella

       2051 hours. I can hardly believe this. I have a picture from Google Earth of our headstone at Otterbein Cemetery. Here it is: follow to the left of the x top and bottom - it is the third stone from the back (flatter low rectangle stone). Who would have possibly thought this would be on Google Earth.

2 June 2017. I erred. The headstones are those of Mom and Dad Hammond and Mary Lou Hammond McKean. Our headstone is just to the right (about 5 feet) of the third stone today. It was not there when this photo was taken.

       Last week Carol dug up a photo and award out of a long forgotten ago box. Why not take pictures and post. - Amorella
       2153 hours. We are thinking of putting them up on the north dining room wall but have yet to do so. We are proud of Dad Hammond, born in Scotland, son of a craftsman.

Dad is standing at the far left.
