Thought for today:
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
-Thomas Alva Edison
I hate summer. It was miserable today. I was 94F or 34.4C with very high humidity. Willie put Jo in her pen & she just laid there. When I let her in she just flopped on the floor.
There are no storm warnings for here today but Nebraska sure looks scary!!! Last nite in Winfield — where Jordy goes to college — there was 112mph winds with lots of damage. The college must be ok as they did not make the news.
Our a/c has not been working right. So today we had to turn it off in the late morning so when the repairman got here it would not be froze up. OJ!!! Miserable. Luckily I had to work. And it was very cool when I got home!!
I worked at the Raymer Studio. It was sooo slow. I started working on the file of our largest collector of Raymer art. I totally forgot about his file. I did most of the database of pieces in private collections. There are over 1500 entries. Most are one piece of art but there were some that was only a piece of scrap paper with a name & that they might own 3 Raymers so there are more pieces than entries. The database does not include what we own & some that is in galleries. That is a lot of art.
My artist friend Julie came in to get her paycheck at the Raymer. We both hate this heat so we decided we should take our HUGE checks & run away. Well, we only had a couple of hundred dollars between us & realised we would not get far. Nowadays, that is a tank of gas!!! So we commiserated with each other & talked about some movies to watched.
I watched CNN last nite to see history made. We are very late, but we now have a black man as a candidate for president. And the possibility of a woman as vice-president. We are waaay behind the rest of the world so it is about time. Obama’s speech was awesome. McCain spoke also. It was not good. Only 200 people there who sounded like they were directed when to say —- not yell —- but say Yay or Boo. Not good. Hillary gave a great speech but she should have conceded. Hopefully by the end of the week. We truly need someone who can start to heal our country, our relationship with the world, & try to pull us out of the deep hole the last 8 years have put us in.
Gått för dagen. Kanske.
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch!
