Mid-afternoon. Today you had a late lunch at Potbelly's on Mason-Montgomery Road then drove towards Lebanon to the Black Barn and Carol pulled five fresh ears of corn at fifty cents each from the fresh basketful. Looks good, you'll have to see how it tastes. - Amorella
1604 hours. First of the season corn can be sweet or not so sweet as it should be. We are taking our chances. I thought we should wait another week. Having had lots of rain, Carol says it looks ready. We'll see in a couple hours or so. Very warm and mostly cloudy today, and with a few sprinkles. Nothing like having the first ears of sweet corn each summer -- a ritual special to Ohio and the greater Midwest. I have scheduled an appointment to see Craig, my car painter friend at the Kia dealership at Kings Auto Mall tomorrow at eleven. I hope he can fix this scratch I put on the front right side of the Avalon bumper. I told Carol I would take care of the cost from my funds. I like to be responsible for my actions.
What other actions are you responsible for in your life, young man? - Amorella.
1622 hours. All of them, Amorella.
Post. - Amorella
1623 hours. Sometimes you sneak in the character of an angelic minister to the recent dead, i.e. "What other actions are you responsible for in your life?" I figure if I were dead when the question was announced I would be required to think quite diligently and be somewhat terrified that because of my lack of memory I wouldn't be has honest as expected.
So, if an angelic-like character appeared and asked a question you would be responsible for a truthful response? - Amorella
1629 hours. Yes, this is so because it is in my character.
Then what would you say? - Amorella
1630 hours. Based on current application I would say, "I don't know. Most being existential, I can't remember the lot of happenings/circumstances/events for which I would feel responsible but there would be a slew of them."
Does this bother you? - Amorella
1634 hours. No. I consider it good practice in case such a narrative comes up while being dead. If it doesn't, I will have at least had some practice. (I am not afraid of any real time metaphysical Angels.) -- See, that parenthesis just popped up. A real Angel would then begin a series of new questions about why I am not afraid of Angels and I would have to answer each one as honestly as I could in the circumstances because I am not about to back down to an Angel's questions. I am not fiction. It is not in my character.
Now post, young man. - Amorella.
2243 hours. Here it is almost
eleven and my last comment seems to have been some time around three or four in
the morning, not afternoon -- in some sort of bewitching time. The notion of
Angels or Intermediaries such as Betweeners never leaves my heartansoulanmind. I
don't feel obsessed by this notion; that metaphysics is less than a step away
from me at any given time. I appear to accept it unconsciously as if it were a
part of nature as are the sun and stars and gravity. But, all in all, I'm do
not feel particularly spiritual. I lead a fairly normal life; shoot, my postings
show this. By the way, we are saving the corn (unhusked and in the fridge)
until tomorrow night. We watched Rachel Maddow and called Craig and Alta to
tell them what was on -- they were watching also. No one could make up the news
on Trump and company. Each day brings something new. Just amazing.
