One of the 1st songs I learnt to play on my guitar.


This is one of the reasons I got my 1st degree in English.

Thank you, Leonard Cohen. Thank, Mr. Patterson.

This afternoon I received an email from “Kinetic Attraction”.

The email read –

“Jim

Tired of rejection by women? I was too, until I learned this innocent trick that makes women approach ME…

…This video won’t be available for long. Watch it before it’s gone, and you?

You’ll learn how this scientific loophole in female psychology can trigger uncontrollable attraction and desire.

Watch Now!”

Something tells me that the company, “Kinetic Attraction” may have got their circuits incorrectly attached in their marketing and sales database.

I received my new package for CRI Genetics, Autosomal DNA test.

Isn’t it a wee bit presumptuous that I would want to “reinvent” myself?


And yes, I understand marketing.

Got in to a discussion with an acquaintance who claimed that, as I mentioned that it appears that Neo-Nazis seem to be coming out of the woodwork, or from their proverbial rocks. This acquaintance, who prided themselves as being to the right of the spectrum, implied that I am to the far left as, in their words, were the Neo-Nazis.

 I had to stop, breathe, and then show them what a political continuum was.


Period.

Our Cranes Quilt Update -

Quilting has been completed for our Cranes Quilt # 22.40.




Answers -

Andy and Jim are creating 40 Crane Quilts for their Cranes Spectrum. Each of the 40 Crane Quilts will be unique and each will be composed of Crane blocks of either 3"; 4"; 5"; or 6".

Each of the Crane Quilts will be a part of a Color Set - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, or Purple.
Each of the Cranes on each of the 40 quilts will represent a unique shade of their Set.

The Crane blocks are each composed of 17 fabric pieces. The Cranes are constructed of batik fabric while the background of each is white.

It is Andy's and Jim's hope that at our initial showing of the Hope- Cranes Quilts - Project in Clearwater, the 40 Crane Quilts of the Spectrum will appear to be "flying" around at the top of the UUC Octagon Art Center auditorium.

There will also be additional Cranes Quilts presented at our Hope - Cranes Quilt - Project. Yes, there are over 1,200 fabric-pieced Crane blocks.

Our Orenda Coffee Machine finally arrived today.

It just took 1 year 3 months to get to our house.

3 hours to put it together.

Now we must figure out the wireless app to "perfect" a good cup of coffee.

Yes, we are obsessed. Obsessed to the point the certain persons have complained about my postings to a closed group, of which is a suppossed benefit to my and Andy's membership dues. Instead of directing their questions directly to me, especially "whether we were trying to sell something", the persons sent their complaints to the administration of the group.

Am I ticked off?

Damn right I am, especially as we pay a total of two annual financial memberships.
