2025 Daily - 05/15/2025 - stuff and being together...?? and libraries....

 About to prepare for audition... It should/will happen today...!

Also - in thinking about Northern Lights trip -- they are charging a full fare additional as I consider traveling alone ... I think,... so - that is on hold....

Looking at OAT for Morocco ... followed by Northern Lights, perhaps... if I find a travel partner!!!! Maybe ???? ....????

Work around house will progress soon... Nate due here on Monday for BBQ and maybe fence and then if I get home and he is still here... Kitchen stuff and maybe back AND front irrigation fixes. AND consider him doing a pergola/thingy on back of house, too!!!

YES -- on my mind --- more comfort at home. Fact is -- backyard needs to be fixed!!!!

And then in house -- paint and fix bathroom - floor and/or shower. At least bathroom is functioning! And house painting can wait... but it would be nice to pick colorS and get painting done for FRESHNESS.

AS FOR PERSONAL STUFF....

I really wonder about partnering in future. Living together? Marriage? Traveling together? PASSION!? Feelings!! AHHHH.... feelings - I have feelings but as noted yesterday I generally rountinely and with a minimum of feelings proceed through my day. Just doing the regular day to day with not a lot of sadness or joy... Just in NEUTRAL. And that brings up point made: The Content Go To Hell.... IF TRUE - I'd better stop being relatively content... If in fact I am content? Maybe just muddling through and basically keeping IT together. 

=========================================

books, ideas. -- 

books -- a ticket for you freedom ...FOR ME - SciFi -- and futures that are utopian and dystopian ... and really real... with technologies and social ways... etc etc... YES - what are my books? Pebble in the sky; heinlein books... - stranger in a stange land; Day after tomorrow (aka as The 6th Column)....and others... though his right wing leanings/militarism - near? fascism ...is not for me...

BIG DIVIDE in AMERICA--- literacy vs illiteracy ... and of course... what can be read? 

Banned books... controversial ... disturbing... revolutionay!!!!

Women's rights.. racial equality... etc etc... BUT Women First... in the show -- Independent Len's -- "Free for all: The Public Library".

Mary Ann Shaw -- donated her inheritance to Queens Pubic Library... after she founded it...   A black women...!!!

A thought... Bibliotherapy --- at its most basic, original, early use ... to help people overcome ISOLATION... connect with the stories of others - here, there, now, then... etc. For me - remember -- Sci Fi -- the future!!!!

First bookmobile... Lutie .. Stearns

AND the FIRST QUESTION -- why is questioning good? Does it bring good in all areas? What are the problems w/questioning?

In the south ... The Faith Cabin Libraries....

What were the schools that were like that???? There were the Rosenwald School Project... maybe that is what I am recalling...

an important perosn: Ernestine Rose....
