Wednesday was one of those days without end…. AMEN!
I’ve been having unexplained spells of nausea and attendant problems for several months now… They don’t usually last more than 24 hours… but they DO upset a schedule. In any case I survived and my wife took me off to our primary care doctor who is a long-–time family friend. He cogitated (which I greatly appreciate from a man of considerable medical practice) and my wife cancelled her own appointment (moved it to next week) for her ophthalmologist who is her worker against Macula Degeneration – Praise The Lord.
Ok that shot a big hole in the day -- but we managed – I got through 24 hours without my usual meds… and here we are. I’m working on rebuilding the druggie sked….(all Rx and OTC approved drugs…. I don’t make any in the back shed. Actually don’t even have a back shed.) So here I am after midnight trying to add the missed hours back into the work day… but giving up on it – because although I had a good night’s sleep the night before this one… I’m not pushing my luck. The Doc will think of something else to rule out – yesterday the sonogram apparently found nothing… so we’ll try another test in the near future.
Meantime… I hope you are having good health and wisdom. Wisdom to go to bed at a reasonable hour – I think I’ll do that just now. There’s nothing else pressing me at this moment. The Lord is arranging my schedule as I’ve found out is the BEST thing for me to function… and I get done the things that REALLY need to get done. We even enjoyed a 60+ degree day here in the South… while some are having horrible weather and terribly hot winds out west off the desert… I endured those for a few days many years ago when I was assigned to do some work in
Well enough for Recollections… I’m starting a book by that name soon… it might be finished or I might be finished. The Lord knows what’s best. (J)
I’ll look forward to hearing from you tomorrow – or at least hearing ABOUT you tomorrow… which is (as I glance at my watch) already today!
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
HOW LONG CAN WE STAND IN THE GAS LINE?
Just a Minute: I vaguely remember my Grandpa filling up the glass, gasoline, hand- pump just in front of the windshield on his Model ‘A’ Ford. A dollar would fill it up.
In my high school days gas sold for around 19.9 cents a gallon. (Has big oil never figured out we know point nine cents adds another penny?) Plus you get the windshield cleaned, the oil checked (a quart added if you needed it) – and air pressure added in the tires – and the attendant could click out change from a five or ten dollar bill.
Last Tuesday one of the morning TV anchors groaned about having to pay $75 for a fill-up; another who drove a Hummer I guess said she had to shell out $100.
Look no matter what propaganda Big OIL puts out to justify higher prices… it eventually comes down to when the public says “I’ve had it”! That’s enough! Eventually the ‘market’ gets the message despite all the ‘skewed’ supply and demand propaganda.
Do they think we just fell off the turnip wagon?
