SUMMER
Summer solstice minus 1 or 2 (I never can remember). The Swedes in Linsborg (little Sweden) will be celebrating. I almost made my deadline of posting every 2 weeks. The past two have gone by rapidly. Some of you know and some do not that Mary fell and broke a rib so we are operating with only one horse and a half. I have learned some new skills such as doing the laundry. Mary is healing but impatient and tired of hurting. I may not hear too well but I am faintly hearing the swish of the scythe of Father Time. We look at other living settings but are well situated where we are, we just havt to stay on our feet!
Presently, I am reading "COLLAPSE- how societies choose to fail or succeed" by Jared Diamond who also wrote "Guns, Germs and Steel" and "The Third Chimpanzee". He is a remarkaable mental giant . So far I have just got the story of the Easter Islanders, South Polynesian islands, Anasazi, Maya. I am sure that there will be some guidelines drawn for our own times. I will let you kknow in future posting. Grandson Zach commented to my last post on June 3 that he was reading "the end of oil" by Paul Roberts and he recommends it, highly. I suspect that it has to do with the hydrogen revolution, perhaps he will let us know more about it.
We are glad that the CLASS (Community Learning and Skills Sharing) program which was stopped because of funding problems is being taken over and sponsored by the library and will start up in September . They have hired a new director/coordinator. The new technology center at the library is top of the line with new computers fast internet, WiFi for portable, teaching area-with 10 work stations--design studio area to create DVD--copy VHS and slides etc.
Compuiterwise, I have been making a couple of POWEROINT presentations to use in our learning center program at the Senior Center.
Queen Cleopartra, the cat, has just made and edict from her throne (the chair which was supposed to have been mine) that you all must take care of yourselves and enjoy. We have a symbiotic relationship--she commands and I obey!
