We
didn’t just use floral did we? I hope
not. I wanted to start by relating this
thing I saw somewhere on TV last week about a new type of electronic cyber “coinage”. You ask “What’s the difference between that
and a debit card?” Well, this is
different because it’s self sustaining meaning you don’t have to have it
connected with any bank account you have.
For instance, a ten year old kid could trade with them. Even Jack Jr could buy his drugs with these
cyber credets that have been given a name but I don’t remember. These “coins” were some bright vender’s
invention and certain stores have agreed to accept this new “medium” of
coinage, but they aren’t sure whether it will catch on of it’s just a passing
fad. Of course you can trade twelve
digit phone card numbers because those are as good as money you can use. And with that many digits- - the world’s
population could increase an awful lot without using all trillion of them.
I
had a nice long talk with Joe Drisco. He’s
still reading that book about “String theory for dummies”. I shared with him about - - half - - of
everything I know about strings. I told him my understanding of Hadrons - - - as well as Mesons and Berryons. And I mentioned I didn't even think Alpha particles qualified as ones. On his
part he helped me remember about Fermions.
These are divided into Quarks and Leptons of course, and the other broad
and even less “material” category is Bozons, and you know all about those. I told Joe that sub atomic particles usually
come in groupings of six with three particles and three anti-particle
counterparts. For each “string” there is
a corresponding particle. And I told Joe
that you can tell by the number of “holes’ in the strings how many dimensions
of any universe they occupy. Joe
mentioned that when he got on conservatorship his relatives sold off all his
assets including selling his life insurance policy, which is really cold. Of course you can get “equity” in a life
insurance policy- - but in November of 1973 Mom and me went to this brokerage
seminar sponsored by Hornblower and Derst and they said that Insurance capital
was a lousey way to go, and stocks got you a lot more bang for your buck. Joe spoke of owning this device where you
could see tiny things like an electron microscope- - - only Joe said it was
illegal because it emitted alpha particles, which are radioactive, which
according to Joe are illegal to own. But
he said someone stole the device from him anyway. But he says he also went to Italy and bought
some “Uranium acetate”. It sounds like a
trippy substance, but who really needs a radioactive shower curtain
anyhow? Joe was talking about getting a
four hundred dollar computer and I said, “Just make sure it’s actually a
computer and not one of these I Pad devices, because you don’t have the control
over the file system- - and are limited what you can put on it.
Today
is Guy Owens’ wedding anniversary from 1981.
It was a Friday morning around eleven o clock. No family members on Guy’s side (he was trying to opporate below the radar) were in
attendance, and neither were Pete Richards or Bill Gunderson. Mark Campbell was the closest thing he had to
a “best man”. Jeane Hayse and Vicky
attended and they were picked up by Pete - - the other Pete, who was
there. And also Bobby Hayden was there
but Jim Cooper couldn’t attend because he didn’t want to take a day off from
Edison so soon after he’d been hired and ruin his credibility. Laura’s mother and father were there and
brother Joshua. The next day, Saturday
was the usual Bible Study, and Guy says that he felt “kind of like a guy who
has graduated but then goes back to the old High School”. Bill Gunderson this night played that strange
Annie Hering and the Second Chapter of Acts record album which is that CS Lewis
book turned into a Musical. And the next
day, which obviously was Sunday and Laura’s birthday (she turned twenty-two) and since
neither one of them had ever had a genuine Fried Chicken dinner at Knott’s Berry Farm,
they decided to go mid day and make a day of it, and this is about the closest thing
they would have to a honeymoon.
(we enter the movie - already in progress) - - who knew Allan and I
figured whoever I sent the thing to- I didn’t want to come off as a psycho, and
at that time I didn’t even trust myself as a sane person, due to the fact that
the situation with Allan had gotten so bad and I had even threatened to commit
suicide on August 2nd. And I
sure wasn’t going to mention that. [material left out here] Marsha this afternoon asked if I had ever been married and that’s an
understandable question and a lot of people have asked it. So I told her. But I added that I felt encircled by the
church and the family who seemed to be continually against me- - and I knew I
could never come to them if there were any problem down the line. [material left out here] I got up maybe 25 to six
this morning and caught just the “parting shot’ from the Bill Press show. Jim Ward was not on the Stephanie Miller show
today because he was having a colonoscopy.
Yukk! We had Raison Bran without
many raisons. Tom says he counted about
three in his bowl. After a lot of time
had elapsed we had three half pieces of French toast and I ended up with two
good sized pieces of bacon. Janet gave
me a whole thing of creamer to go with coffee that I still haven’t opened
up. I haven’t been in the mood. She mentioned carting two big cases of Diet
Coke up to her room but Joe ended up doing that. Still I got a final cup of coffee from Janet
this morning along with Bill. Last night
I kept looking for the sign up list, and it was the only thing on that bulletin
board, once it appeared. I signed in at
number fourteen. I went to the
back. I never saw Tom because he went on
the first load. I was just noticing how
messed up the architecture is around that whole area. It looks like someone threw up on the drafting
board or something. It is hodge podge to
the max, and I think anyone with any sense of artistic taste would be repelled
by it. When I got there I used the
restroom but did not have a smoke. Then
I got my coffee and virtually all the check stands were empty. There was this really attractive brunette in
white shorts and a print top in the next line- - who was tall and looked like a
fashion model or something- and was with an older woman. But would any classy female be put off by
this “Cars” shirt. I mean it’s catchy
and all, but some might argue it would be more of a shirt a young teenage boy
would wear. Anyhow I went and sat on a
bench and later walked around and then Glen came out and we sat on a different
bench and I talked to him. Sarah was
saying some Spanish station was reporting on some teacher who molested five
boys. Maybe this is a new case. We got back about the time they might have
been doing coffee here. Anyhow I checked the CD drawer the first thing I
got back. Nora had just finished up in
here and she was next door and said my floor was wet but the moppers were
coming so I went on in anyhow. We had
cheeseburgers for lunch and for the first time in ages they actually had
seconds on French fries. I used extra
catsup on the burger, and more for the fries.
We had orange slices for desert and I had Roxanne’s slices, too. Sleep got the better of me with Randy Rhodes
and I think she was in kind of a verbal rerun mode anyhow. I don’t think there are any fresh topics to
blog about today. But I’ll be kept busy
writing this. [and now for today's Soap developments] Of course Abigail is one
of these “classy” women. But appearances
can apparently be deceiving- if you buy this whole Virgin act. She’s about as likely to be a virgin as I
would be to have heavy weight wrestling champion trophies. Now Will is actively getting possessive over
Sonny, almost forbidding him to go on that trip to Bryce Canyon. Nobody dares bring up the real issue, which
is the fact that Sonny owes Will nothing- - and even if Will and Brad or
whoever- did sixty-nine every night on the trip, it would mean absolutely
nothing- “religiously” or any other way.
A gay is a gay is a gay, if you know what I mean. Clearly fidelity isn’t the issue. It’s just this whole idea that I’m tied to a
baby and “misery loves company”, if you know what I mean.
[only the last two lines are recent] In terms of this
missing woman in Idaho thing we can give you the full story on that one. As you know there was this guy De Maggio that
killed Hanna’s father and eight year old little brother. Hanna was an attractive, mature looking
blonde sixteen year old. This De Maggio
kidnapped her and held her hostage, and they were seen horseback riding
together in the wilderness several hundred miles northeast of Boise,
Idaho. (This would be on the western
frontier of Federation territory, if that)
Anyhow, four others on horseback camping in this remote area that wasn’t
even accessable by road or motor vehicle-
they thought something was a little off because the pair did not look
like they had enough supplies with them- - exploring this far out into the
wilderness. Anyhow they got home Sunday
night ( ) and saw Hanna’s face on TV and immediately called the authorities. An all out AMBER alert was issued Friday
night over people’s cell phones. (?) Amber is an unsuccessful abduction case in
1996 where Amber did. But a protective
law got passed. Amber stands for
America’s Missing Broadcast Emergency Response.
Anyhow it was Saturday afternoon when FBI officials closed in on the two
but had to drop in by helicopter and hike in - - and then they shot De Maggio
and rescued Hanna and she’s safe now. So
they have been flooding all the news with this story. Now in the latest development Hanna got on line to answer questions from viewers at this one site, but I heard that the page was taken down, and I have no idea why- - unless this "Hanna" turned out to be an impostor.
