Today we bought eight yards of full cut fabric: Abbey Black (#956) from Calico Corner/Home. Here are some double digit numbers: customer number x11x55x, authorization number 11xxx, reference number xx00x777. Jeni helped us process our order.
En route home ward, the dashboard of Paw’s Mazda Protoge read 36,666 (odometer). We were stopped at a straight line a few blocks from our home.

An hour ago, I was watching a segment on CNN Live with Frederick about animal rights. African/Black people were once slaves. Cheap/low wage workers are slaves. Whales in Sea World are slaves. Zoos may give free food and lodging to their captives in a virtual prison, meant for others to stare as slaves go about their business/lives.
All slaves are forced against their will, away from their family and work long/odd hours under horrible conditions. Safety might guaranteed to these slaves by always at the price of free-will and other abuses and mal/mistreatment.
Freedom to go back home and to exist without task masters or bosses is possible with a few progressive legislation to give whales and any/all sentient beings rights like humans. This would show to the rest of the world that America can interpret the 13th Amendment to include ALIENS, who are “out of this world”.

I was Previewing a Premium Theme – Linen and came across the “About Us” section, which read:
“A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.”
The passage is from MAY 10. in “The Sorrows of Young Werther” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. His writing is exquisite to my mind’s ears, simple, too and better than my own basic writing skills and my dimming hope for a fruitful novel in the upcoming NaNoWriMo next month.

Here are my notes taken on the “Memo” app of my cellphone:
10/28/2011 14:01pm: This was after eating lunch. My thought was about darkness being a single point of nothingness, in a void and all alone inwardly; while light was ever-expanding outwardly.
10/28/2011 11:37am: While coming home from an hour and one-half shopping for a hardware tool, we were following a truck with two Asian guys. The beige-colored truck had a license plate that read: Lucky, Happy, and Healthy. But my mind added the last line: But full of crap. Think about it: In the end, people have loads of crap deep down inside their guts despite their outward appearance.
10/27/2011 18:53pm: Paw has spaced out. He would sit and stare or look around into the air. That morning we ate breakfast at Denny’s. While Maw and I were conversing about the FCC testing the EAS this November, Paw wouldn’t say a word. The waitress had come to gather the items we placed at the edge of the table. Paw wasn’t paying attention and he wanted more cream, even though the waitress was already going to refill the little pitcher-shaped container for the coffee cream. Later on that evening, he wasn’t paying attention and didn’t notice that I had already turned on the Halloween lights and that Maw had already prepared his bowl of soup on the plate. He went to do both until realizing his duplicate activities.
10/27/2011 17:22pm: Yesterday (on Wednesday, 10/26/2011), the first bite of freezing air greeted us. That same evening was VERY cold because we didn’t turn on the heater yet.
10/27/2011 17:10pm: Today while doing the last part of the backyard, I broke my Troy-Bilt, Electric Blower, Model TB180B, 7.5 amps, 135 mph! But Paw was kind enough to go with me to Lowe’s a few minutes later and bought me my new electric blower, Task Force, 12 amps, metal impeller, 155/235 mph, vacuum and mulcher! This new one still felt WEAK.
10/27/2011 08:52am: Maw had share more of her wisdom with me. “Don’t ignore people or walk away from the problems. Don’t annoy people to get your way or aggravate them to make matters worse”.
Paw and I debated then we went shopping for an SQ2 in Lowe’s unsuccessfully from ten to eleven this morning. At Home Depot, we found our item and set up a free consultation for a roof repair.
At 11:30am we came home and fooled Maw that we didn’t find the tool to unscrew the eight dining chairs. At around 1:30pm, the three of us finished removing the old upholstery to be recycled and replaced with fancier fabric from Calico Corner off Saratoga Ave.
It is around 15:50pm. And Maw and Paw are wiping down the wet chairs, which I hosed down. The air compressor was used to remove excess water from the ratan-like backing. All four electric fans also got dusted with Maw’s fan being the dustiest.
We were putting off this project since June 7, 1982, the last time the chairs were reupholstered. October 30, 1985 was another weird date I penned sloppily under one chair. We couldn’t get rid of these sentimental values.
Besides the Costco hand towels, we used seven tools to remove screws, staples, foot paddings, glue and fabric.
