Futility

The election coming up, I don't feel the need to say much. Am quite committed, and loyal, to the Donald. 

Contemporaneously, do feel the futility of all these political rigmaroles. Canards, hoaxes, legends. We're all waiting on the straight dope from Durham, if indeed it's disseminated.

Took a ride to the Mogollon Rim. First time seeing Tonto Bridge. The terrain part exhilarating and partially ubiquitous, it was good to see some trees. Really struggled hiking about. Feeling futile about losing weight too. 

Get Moving

Surprised and pleased with this hapless shot. A wash at South Mountain Park. Put it through a painterly app and have got some water flowing out of the rocks. A miracle.

A feature too was hearing all the colored announcing their presense at dawn.

Rectilinear Offset

Cooling process underweigh. Down to 75° overnight. 85° this morning. It was still warm the other day when I took this on the back side if the Esplanade. Wished I could have set back more and include the tree's reflection but didn't feel like walking for the heat. Good enough.

Presently at church. Must remember to contribute.

Sweet

In Bible study. Hanging in there, Jesus. Dear Lord.

Matthew 18:20. "For where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them." Seek to find a soul mate, my son.

Metrophobe

Very quiet afternoon. Had thought about some Metro Center pictures and took them. Couldn't get camera to synch with the tablet Bluetooth so have to wait on processing

A quick run around; big boxes in a vacuum. The library still closed. As is the salad place. The old market place has lost all cache. That was an odd thing; after the tract houses went in and demand created for shopping center, it was the extent of civilization. Peaceful selling and buying. No haggling.

Normally, I'd only go in it a few times a year, gift shopping. Completely new paradigm. There's a cologne, Aramis, that's ever been only available at a department store but I just got some online. Hear all sorts of proposals for reinvented use. Junior college cooking and automotive schools. I'd like to see a nice theater.

Have got my keyboard all set up with absolutely nothing to say. Do recall this of yesterday: "Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone." Proverbs 25:15. So, very much settled down. Reading about Joe Stalin. Persuade him? Sure thing. "Have a care." At coffee seeking conversation. No such luck. Across the way, a bookstore. In operation. Test the waters?

Summer In the City

Still very warm. The night time temperature has gone down some. Just a few more weeks. I'd love to get out of town. Need a change badly. Planning and enthusiasm. We'll see.

Nothing much happening. At coffee. Invited a few people to join but nothing doing. Really quite a bear. On guy seems to be playing hard to get. An assistant pastor at church, I sense he thinks I ought solicit him. Very strange. I just want to make friends. I don't understand him. Am I not good enough? He didn't strike me that way.

Well, church tomorrow. I'll see him there but it so stilted. And still no prospects of meeting any women. As if that's of any account.
