Writing (I suggest) is (at first) making a statement of “reflection”for self: then it gets muddied by re-writes, changes, a dash of cleverness and change to assuage others🥲 then hoping to attract readers and dollars. And along the way trying to shove it in a category. (The exhilaration fades)

My streets…a very long time ago I lived under the visage of an attorney who indoctrinated me so for me my life is rather boringly legal.. of course the behavior of others is carefully observed and I can get quietly irate. We have a list of states to avoid and a list of people we will not associate.

I repaired a similar chest for a friend.. it was her grandfather’s who worked for RR.. I have reason to think he might have used wood reclaimed from a wooden passenger car.. the piece I replace was a piece of walnut.. to match the damage case part..

I try to forget self and as for fear sprinkle a dash of time in it. As for stupid only look at my own hoping to improve. If I get too caught up in others I get exhausted and hateful.. the latter is constantly scratching to escape.

I guess you can only grin and bear it…

For some thinking of possible consequences is either too hard or takes too long. Translation: self centered.

It boils down to the journey not the destination.

Now is already in the past. Yes, some cling to it. It is what YOU think and DO before now that is of supreme importance.

And what is a karmic seed? Sounds like a Jack and the beanstalk made up idea.

The past is a convenient excuse. It should not be the first reason anyone should use to justify hatred. And too many hide behind religion.

Does being irate make you feel better. I set down many teachers decades ago… heck… I wash dishes after a meal..

Why address the past.. it’s in the past. The question to face is “now” with a side order of just sitting.

In the urban areas much the same, maybe less humidity. In the rural areas depends on plant growth. In the dry hot areas my nose was bent on first in the shade.

Smile at the end.

Hmmm.. Gilbert must be older than me…🤪🤪 and my family thinks I’m old…

Ah.. the bigger guys compared to my little ones.🤣🤣

Thanks. I’ll keep a watch. Could go “close enough” to get to street detail so I could see which temples etc might support and host. Got time.hopefully the. Polar vortex won’t catch them walking.. 🥶🥶
