this from the other day.   Just now dark….4th July.    since around 5,  everyone came again.  Replay of the Fire Alert of last Thursday but in another direction…again 6 miles away,  but they come,  in case.   Worked on Goat Boat wiring that the "boys",  the two young wethers,   had chewed AGAIN….those New wires…..gotta come up with another plan…..and on a new closure for Jack Flash's  Catch Pen…that's a long story and not worthy of the energy it would take to tell…

so there were things to do as we all waited,  watching the apps for word that it was contained at 50 acres and the one Evac Order  (not Us)  lifted.    Quiet now.   We'll see.    While Jenny was doing something,  her man and i talked.  He had said,  yesterday when they were here for Jeff's birthday,  that he wants to get a kite.    YES!!!!!!!!!!!    and as we sat there at the table outside the door this eve i asked him if he believed in God.   kinda daring of me…he is a very quiet man.    i don't know why they are together,  it's been 10 years,   except he loved her in highschool back in Michigan.  it was unrequited.  He went off to become a Marine, in the Gulf War ?,  Iraq?  i don't know,  i didn't keep  track of wars then,….but he was on the ground somewhere.  and then married  and raised  a family of girls who with their children live in Arizona.   He said he didn't know.   Not      god,     really,   but that he loves thoughts of this Universe ….within…a multitude of Universes and  he doesn't believe we are the single intelligence,  and we agreed on a lot,  mostly that we can't possibly know much of anything.   And then we were quiet a while and he said that maybe he would get a telescope too.   a kite and a telescope.
