Friday July 6

Another bit of the household reorganization, rearrangement, and de-cluttering yesterday and today. We both tackled the bedroom yesterday and got it swept, dusted and rearranged. I finished that today with rearranging the books and knickknacks while Mom has a good bit of the bathroom done. I am taking a rest now and will tackle the What-not room later.

Found this item that is interesting. I would like to travel but most of the traditional ways of doing so are too expensive or simply not to our taste. We spent a couple of years taking day trips offered by our local park. They were reasonably priced and toured interesting places but almost half of the time was spent touring the shopping districts. We simply aren't into the shopping. I do remember getting a nice batch of gardening and herb books at the Chicago arboretum. But otherwise the other trips shopping times were a bust.

This sounds about right for the modern society and economy. The lesson is don't depend on any utility, agency, or other entity to provide the service they have accustomed you to depend on.
