8 something last night. This is the Point Man, on top of things. Tumor in gastro-intestinal tract calling attention to itself, He will make an appointment for us,
Who would have thought it? We thought we were seeing little glowing hunks scattered higher than that.
I rise in the morning with half a dozen stories to look up and add. Up to 138 little stories this morning. Some up to 2/3rds of a page or more. A cousin's escape from Danville Prison and making his way all across VA and what had been VA and then almost getting thrown in the brig by a Northern fool officer for making preposterous claims of being a Union man. Now, that is a story about an ornery cousin who would not just die willingly in Danville. Now to add the will of the man dividing up among his children what became Silver Springs, Maryland. If there is plenty of time I have to find the best modern device for reading aloud and having it go into Word in biggish type. I tried hard to master speech recognition years ago. The Dragon device got a glitch where it would not learn from the day's additions and there was no support, so I gave up. There must be much better devices now. I have a very good unused microphone. Any good simple ideas? Bad eye, reading from old newspaper texts on computer, very small but somewhat enlargeable images, so that reading aloud from them is quite possible, if the result can go into Word.
There is a slight sense of urgency now. The seamstress-in-chief (also the driver &c) is expanding the elastic on the eye patch right now. Now on to those creeks draining into the Potomack.
