Notes - kindness / F-F.17 /



         Late morning you stopped to see Dr. M. You have a lung infection, bacterial or viral, no one knows. Presently you are waiting for Carol at the Tylersville Kroger's after a late lunch at the local Penn Station. Lunch was good as usual, extra fries was a treat from the manager. On the way to Penn Station, as you turned left from Tylersville you momentarily blacked out. Carol shouted "Richard" as you were up over the curb. When she shouted you un-blacked out, as it were, and self-corrected. Carol thinks it was lack of food as you only half your breakfast and no snacks earlier today. - Amorella

         1431 hours. I have never blacked out before, never that I was made aware of. It scared me during lunch as Carol took my car keys as soon as we pulled in for dining. We were mostly quiet. I was thinking on giving up driving, cold turkey. I have always prided myself on being a good driver, a professional-like driver ever since I drove a school bus for a year. Carol convinced me it was lack of food that caused the problem, that and/or my 'cold/sore throat/coughing' head stuffiness (sans fever). When we were leaving Penn Station I asked for my keys back and had no problem driving (three to four miles) over to Kroger's. I saw earlier this morning that the Honda Clarity has some self-correcting going off line or off road. That's a good sign. I assume it would have stopped me from jumping the curb. I did not expect this kind of problem but it has more than convinced me that our next car will have at least level 3 auto-drive. If Carol or I had a heart attack or seizure auto-drive would also slow the car down and pull over to the right side of the road and safely stop. Anyway, I feel better that I drove over to Kroger without a further problem. I will not drive if and when I don't feel fully confident in my driving.

         This whole incident bothers you deeper than you suspect. You have in your adult life attempted to be a wholly independent and responsible person/citizen. - Amorella

         1451 hours. No false praise Amorella.

         Your adulthood didn't really begin until you got engaged to Carol in  the summer of 1967. I was being kind, boy, beside you knew that. Post.- Amorella

Chapter Seventeen of Fire and Fury. The young Saudi part of the Royal Family wants to modernize and Trump can be used to help make the case. Egypt was opposed to Iraq and that was cause enough to help them. Trump would fix the Middle East and be a hero rather than a goat not only to the press but to the world. Besides, this would sidetrack the problem with firing Comey and the upshot of Mueller coming on the scene. Bannon and WH company 'felt' a reckoning could be a part of the Mueller investigation and in defense they were going to stonewall like Nixon attempted to do in Watergate. The author, Wolff, has Trump thump, thump, thumping through a piece of the Middle East briar patch. Seemingly to me, almost oblivious to the real political world back home. Reminds me a bit of Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman. (2059)

         You had leftover chili one more time for supper, watched selections of NBC and ABC News, then while Carol worked on some family business papers you watched the latest and funniest of the new "X-Files" from Wednesday night-- a satirical  slant on modern day "Fake News" as well as satire on earlier "X-Files" cases.  - Amorella

         2107 hours. I enjoyed this "X-Files" better than any of the new ones.  I have taken my new meds along with my regulars. I am hoping for a good night's sleep, but I'm going to catch what Rachel's talking about tonight before bed.

         Your earlier nap helped you feel better. Post. - Amorella
