Sunday Notes

Notes, thoughts and things overheard on a much cooler, lazy Sunday away from work in August. (To be updated as the day progresses.)

• I generally try to follow the orders and directives of my boss and yesterday he told me to take today off and go look for vinyl records, so since I don't want an insubordination charge against me ..... Maybe I should have asked for the company credit card?
• If I look at the dials and knobs on my washing machine, I'm like: "I don't know how to operate this damn thing." ..... But if I go by starting it with muscle memory, I'm fine. 😌
• Just like I think that everyone in the 'vinyl community' has a far cooler record collection than mine, I also think everyone arranges their bookshelves better than I do. That's always been my problem .... a lack of confidence. 😀
• I've seen names of three of my favorites mentioned recently by people saying: "I don't get it." ..... Tom Petty, Steely Dan and Van Morrison. What's not to get? I don't think any of them were trying to change the world. It's great music. Many people enjoy it. Especially those that grew up with it. That's all there is to get.  

Later, while out walking in the park .....

• Overheard a lady say: "I've never been inside Deepwood Mansion." And thought: "Hell, I was married there." 💒
• My shadow doesn't appear near as frightening to me as my reflection in the mirror does. I've never wanted to turn and run after spotting my shadow. 
• Sat on a bench as the sun faded and the breeze kicked up and pondered what ifs .... Like what if I just decided not to return to work in the morning .... or ever again. Too much evening breeze perfection may not be the best conditions for sound decision making.

Tile art along the path on my walk. I thought I spotted a nose and visualized a face and crown. There are dozens of these painted tiles along the path. I assume they were painted by children. Animals, numbers and time seem to be a consistent theme
