Late morning. You drove to get your haircut
only to find Mary Ann was offered more money to work as a hair stylist at
P&G. You were surprised and saddened but good for her, that is the attitude.
You came home and helped Carol with the packing boxes. The person who cut your
hair had instructions from Mary Ann and she said she had watched Mary Ann cut
my hair/beard several times because her husband has a beard she cuts. You are
pleased with the results but can't remember the friendly woman's name.
1132 hours. I cannot imagine regretting a good person's further success.
P&G pays well and has a good retirement program. Still, this goes to show
that even if you stay in a particular locality for a long time things are going
to change anyway. We will have lived in Mason 43 years next Spring; how the
city has been transformed since our arrival at 800 Majken Place. And, how we
have (lived) matured/aged in these 43 years also.
'Aged' makes you sound like you have withered
at the vine. - Amorella
1143 hours. Well, there is some truth to it, Amorella. We are not fruit
to be eaten though. We have our dignity.
Freedom and dignity go together, boy. -
Amorella
1146 hours. Even in this context they do. I hadn't realized that; maybe
even more so than in our youth.

Post. - Amorella
You ran errands and stopped at Potbelly's
for at take out Mediterranean and Hammie flats, chips and two drinks. You are
at your usual spot on Rose Hill, next door, so to speak, to the Whitaker
mausoleum for your in-car picnic. Clouds are rolling in this warm day for
showers tonight and tomorrow. - Amorella

hours. There is a lot of difference between the first meaning of dignity from
the dictionary and its thesaurus' synonyms. Freedom doesn't really appear to
fit with the latter sixteen synonyms. My freedom sense is spiritually bent
alone.
Indeed, it is good that you clarified that
for yourself. - Amorella
1457 hours. I like to avoid confusion; that is one of the problems with
living, confusion.
You had a good supper of
noodles and chicken, watched NBC and ABC News, took a break, then watched an
hour and a half of last night's PBS's "The Vietnam War" which you
consider 'most excellent'. - Amorella
2134 hours. Complications in early Vietnam from the French occupation
through the division of North and South Vietnam at the 17th Parallel show
through hindsight that it appears Fate took her own hand, that nothing could
have been done to change the course at that time. It is perplexing to think on.
What could have been done to prevent what eventually happened? I jump from such
thinking to today's concerns on the course of the U.S. and North Korea. If a
nuclear war happens in the Koreas, how could it have been prevented at this
point in time? Believing in either Fate or Free Will makes no difference. How
do we prevent a nuclear war in the Koreas? Complications always arise. They
happen in families, in relationships, in politics, in religions. We do not
always respond violently, but sometimes we do because we are put into a corner because
of overall confusion to where there appears to be no choice. Responding to
complications is a basic human trait. Reason appears to be the only real choice
when it comes to even a localized nuclear war; plainly, however, it may not
always be the choice taken. (2150)
You have nothing else on the subject? -
Amorella
2150 hours. No, nothing else.
