I am so grateful to have another day of life. I love you, Pete, and I always will. I will do my best to be successful for you, in your memory. Thank you for showing me such a true love; it made me a better person. I only hope that someday soon there is a cure for that dreadful cancer that took you away in such a horrific way.
The election is only a day away. I voted two weeks ago, by absentee ballot, and gave my vote to Ralph Nader. Like so many Americans, I am tired of having no real choice. All we can do is choose from who is selected to run, and only from two parties at that. What kind of freedom of choice is that? From the world of capable people, only two are offered as our choices? It is disgusting. At least Nader has integrity and honesty. He cannot be bought, and he earnestly acts for the welfare of the citizen and consumers.
It is only ten minutes from 6 a.m., now, and still dark. This daylight savings time is awful, because you go to work in darkness and it is almost dark when you arrive home from work, so you literally work from dark to dark. I wish they would do away with it. It makes a person depressed because there is little time off work while it is still light. Health experts say that a person needs some sunlight each day, to have enough vitamin D in their bodies. The weather report says there is the chance of rain today, which is a blessing. I have longed for rain all year. I am content with the state of things on the mountain so far, but I think that I will contact local colleges to see if they would like to put a branch campus there. The deal would involve my home remaining there for my lifetime and a department of the college to be named after Norris John Peters Jr. That would be a nice way to remember Pete. He would like that. I must get a list of colleges to write the proposal to. At least it is worth a try.
November and December are the best months of the year as far as I am concerned. I am teaching, so that provides me with something interesting to do each day. Yet there are plenty of days off during those months and the weather is so beautiful. Most people, no matter what beliefs they hold, are filled with the holiday spirit and are friendlier and more cheerful. It is great to be alive. Today I must call Carlson's Solar to see if he wants to put in the charge controller today. I will have to meet him at 4 on the mountain if so. In the meantime, I am assembling the outdoor landscaping lights for the Sun City home. It seems I will be able to install them within the week. Well, time is up now.. must get ready for work !
