On the lookout at coffee. Only the occasional sparrow. Chirping.
Hope I can find my Audubon guide in the clutter. Know where it is.
Then again, it's for the Southwest, not California. It's on the list.
Yeah, definitely have to make a written list of needs. Stuff to get.
Have to do some research.
Henry Knox has the same birthday as my brother!
Have to do a lot more reading up on this during vacation.
Have to get seriously engaged upon travel map and itinerary.
Going to Santa Barbara, Malibu and Hollywood. 6 days.
Keeping track will be a chore, but will try doing so promptly.
A few days to organize. Tomorrow the first determined application.
Church, then have to get to it. Get gear together. Make a plan.
Suppose I should make a list. Will do. Sunday morning presently.
Will definitely be traveling lightly. Just have to bring some walking shoes.
And hiking boots. And slippers. Some socks. A struggle putting them on.
Longer ones... this morning huffing, puffing. Once a week enough for that.
Online apparatus. Will depend on hot spots. Get my portable one up to date.
Camera paraphernalia; back-ups. Sleeping stuff all set. Do a laundry.
That's about it. Except for the vehicle. Oil OK. Check fluids. New spark plugs.
Tires should be fine. Had a flat several weeks ago. Double-check that.
Need to stay offline and get taxes done.
Impossible! Doing taxes online these days.
Still, have to get to bank and do IRA thing.
Please God the finances hold up. Everything good.
Have been asked to contribute to mission in Pakistan.
I will do so, but I wanted to enlist some local people too.
It's a difficult thing... people already tithe... strangers?
An awful thing to think, that Christians are such beggars.
"To beg does not become me..." she said and I liked it.
In all of life, souls on board. Oh, to reverence it all.
You do what you can, and I hope I can help those people.
Had deflating experience with African orphans. God help us all.
How irritating being online is getting. Really.
So long page loads; moving from story to story?
Forget about it. They'll pipe in all sorts of clutter.
And tag on Facebook? Getting artfully complicated!
Glad to be going back to work. For a few days!
They'll be driving me nuts in no time, probably.
Those things, those comments... looking for revenge?
Ha. Was all I could garner at the time. Bloody hell.
The pastor gave a talk about Gideon and that selection process.
There was a fellow there with the Gideons and I thought of Rocky Raccoon.
It wasn't until later it hit me... v. Wainwright... indigent defendants. Well now.
There was that show, "The Defenders". Liked E.G. Marshall a lot. Ironic.
Anyway, have to read it over to get it, how to say, correctly, eh?
Awfully difficult to read Bible sometimes for all the referential material.
Awesome that I was asked to 'preach' in Pakistan. Not briefed, for sure.
Always too many other obligations and distractions. And chores; even put off.
Just saw the strangest thing until there was recall of Williams AFB going commercial.
Passenger planes seemed to be way off the flight plan of approaching Sky Harbor;
they were flying due south along about Scottsdale, then turning east straightaway.
One disappeared; I figured... eventually headed to Gateway. From NW and Orient.
Just before was reminiscing about nun - said I'd no 'will power' cause of fidgeting!
Was going to pass along to MC page - "How's about Ms. Montessori and Pieget!"
But the post got dumped (unintentionally) so I had the chance to think about it.
Better to learn about them myself than to shake up the old sisters. The young ones?
Saw this duck at Cortez Park. Its beak was busted. Glad the shot doesn't defame it!
Had the chance to express myself with regard to an intense defamation suit - laundry!
Have not, will not discuss family issues online. Simply made comment other day.
Wanting to do chaplaincy thing, no help. Nor did church people. Unfortunate.
Am very tired. Have to do the rest of the pictures from a road trip. Slowly.
Hope to get done soon and turn in for a major snooze. Should I get ribs?
Don't think so. Took a picture of a meat store delivery truck. Logo'd like paramedic.
Get that done too. Working on Sedona shots. Had to go back due to technicalities.
Going to get on the road soon. Head up to Verde Valley.
Sunrise thither. Montezuma. Cathedral Rock. Maybe Bell.
Will probably take a nap in Sedona before I come back.
Please God for safe travel and good shots. How's the weather?!!
