challenges

 I am working on a do it list  item


    A simple task, yet very challenging for me.

    I took the cold air return grills down to clean them.  

    With the exception of one of them, getting them down and cleaning them was not a big problem.

    It's getting them back up that concerns me.

    I always have trouble lining up. the screw holes.  That should be easy peasy stuff, but not for me.

    I am going to work on putting them back up tomorrow.  So if you hear reports of an old man out in his back yard yelling obscenities, you will not it is not going well.

    I watched an episode of The Twilight Zone (S-2 EP. 29) which featured Burgess Meredith as a man accused by the state of being obsolete because he was a librarian.  There were no books, therefore librarians were obsolete.

    As someone who was  obsolete, he was sentenced to death.

    Rod Serling comes on at the end with a little homily about the story.  Tonight he said , "the entity  he worshipped, any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man...that state is obsolete."

    Serling also said it was a story of a state "where logic is an enemy and truth a threat."

    It was a pretty powerful episode about the future.

    It has been hot and dry and my grass has grown a lot since I mowed last Friday.  If it wasn't so hot, I would mow tomorrow.  But I think that is our last day of 90s......hopefully.

    Stay cool.  Stay hydrated.  Stay safe.

Peace and Love

        Especially Peace
