Brother Tom located a photo of brother Bill’s ’49 Chevy, sporting the car cooler, in front of the Carroll Park house.
Can’t make out the name of the car-club.
Nice shot of the house too, with the bedroom balcony above the Den door. Here is a more recent photo. Matt and Lindsay were just there a few days ago.
The evergreen tree in the front yard grew up a little.
I was expecting Judy to be about 50% better from her shoulder surgery by now, given that she only has one functioning arm, but she’s more like 90% better. She’s independent again, doing everything she normally does. Except drive. Or put on or take off her sling. Or scratch an itch on the biceps of her good arm.
As far as the pain part goes, that has subsided. It hardly hurts at all. Except when it does. And there’s Advil for that.
She can take her sling off as much as she wants now; but still for passive motion only. Two weeks from now, she will start with the physical therapist and the therapist will extend her range of motion while she tries not to twitch. She’s still a couple months away from doing any active motion.
We have determined that the posts in the ground diffuse the static electricity from the dam in the river. It remains to be explained however, what static electricity is, how it happens, and why it is dangerous. I believe I’ve figured it out. Water whooshing over the diversion dam washes away all the electrons, building up an electrical deficit that can only be satisfied by sucking the life out of any nearby humans.
Static electricity is zombies!
What might this government installation be? It’s hard to figure out. It’s very close to the river; that’s a clue. It is also just upstream of a diversion dam. The explanation doesn’t really work until you connect the two. I never made the connection on my own, I had to give up and ask what it was. The water flowing over the dam creates substantial static electricity. This line of posts in the ground, not the fence posts but the sunken posts in the middle, is linked to the dam to diffuse that built up static electricity.
But it was time.
We had to let Christie and Andy leave and go home.
To finish them off properly, we fed them breakfast from the taco bar at the gas station, and a late lunch from the truck stop. Got to have the full experience.
