Last night's sunset from Larry and Chris' condo at Madeira Beach:
Sunset on Tuesday, 13 June 2017
Later in the afternoon. Monday
you had lunch at the P.J. Oyster Bar with Linda and Bill as well as Jean, James
and their friend Mike. Tuesday lunch was at the Daiquiri Deck with Paul making spaghetti
and sausage for supper. Today you had a not so good lunch at a new place. Kim,
Paul and the boys have been spending mornings at the pool and afternoons on
paddle boards then the pool. You and Carol have been relaxing by reading or
watching selected shows on MSNBC. It has been raining mostly in late afternoon
or evening; typical June in the St. Pete/Tampa area.
1657 hours. Carol just turned on MSNBC so we are watching the update on
today's shootings.
2050 hours. Tonight -- "Washington Post: Special Counsel is [now
openly] investigating Trump for possible 'Obstruction of Justice'. [Today, the
FBI opened a separate investigating file on Trump and his potential obstruction
of justice; a criminal offence.] Things are moving faster than I thought it
would. I should turn off Chris Hayes on MSNBC (turned it on after sunset; alas
no colorful photo tonight).
You cannot help being interested in the
politics, boy. You and Carol are both passionate about your mostly democratic
political leanings. - Amorella
2103 hours. For me it goes back to high school. Fritz and I were elected
to go to a mock Republican Convention in our senior year -- 1960. I was a
moderate Republican in those days, but by November I voted for Kennedy and have
been mostly a democrat ever since. (After Bob Kennedy was assassinated we
switched to work for Nelson Rockefeller.) I voted for Johnson and democrats mostly
ever since because of their focus on helping public education much more than
the Republicans do.
It goes back to your first consciousness of
President FDR. Your grandparents (both sides) were Democrats as you remember
it. - Amorella
2112 hours. They and my parents lived through the Great Depression and
were concerned for the common man. Woody Guthrie and John Steinbeck helped me
grow in this direction. I remain a romantic at heart.
2123 hours. Surely, not fifty/fifty.
The human heart is not measurable mathematically, nor is the soul, nor is the mind. - Amorella
2128 hours. You state this as if it were a fact.
Do you have a problem with this? - Amorella
2131 hours. No, ma'am. [I feel old sensations -- as if I need to back away from this 'Source', the Amorella, even though she is, I feel, in my head. This is not out of fear but out of profound spiritual respect.]
I concur. - Amorella
