West Merrill came to visit

So.. it took two days, but the new freezer did arrive.
The first day, Friday the 12th the Lowes truck went
zooming by up and then down. There was no stopping
them. After several calls to the store I thought I
had gotten the directions to our house clear enough
for any one to follow. Saturday, again the Lowes
truck went zooming by, but at least this time a
motorhome size truck instead of an 18 wheeler size. Seeing
it go by, I went out and stood in the street wondering
how long I would have to wait before it came zooming
back. Not long. I waved it down. The driver said, "
Where is your house." and I waved. He started on
down the road. I yelled and TG he stopped and I
said, "you have to park here.

Finally, the new freezer is in the cold room
with a minimum of problems. We knew the door to
the cold room would have to come off, but that
was easy.

Gradually, I'll fill it from the old freezer a
few trips a day.

Shannah came today to leave the book club book.
She has a doll of a little boy, about a month old.
I have her a small gift for West (her baby) and
two artichokes that came in my organic box. Neither
Robert nor I care to bother with artichokes.

Today I sent an e-mail to the President of thee
Boulder Humanists to say that I was too involved
in the 2008 election to both the humanist board
activities and my election activities. I'm sure
Gordon will not be happy because I have put lots
of energy into the big events he has had. But
I really am tired of fighting about God. I don't
care that much. I don't believe in God, but I
think it would be comforting to believe. I do
like the Humanist philosophy, but am glad to take
a time out.
