KICKING THE TIRES OF JUNE 30, 2019

Chinese Fire Drill Week

Two cars, and both cars out of service. The week was shuttling back and forth between repair shops. First there was the electrical problem with the Saturn: the daytime running lights stayed on and drained the battery in about twenty minutes.

Next the front bumper on the PT Cruiser half ripped off by the concrete parking stop block at Costco. This was followed by an electrical problem with the PT Cruiser that drained its battery. And then the flat tire.

Everything has been fixed accept the bumper-unless I have a serious problem with the key not going into the ignition switch.

A Lost Chord of Insight

Would you believe it? I had a powerful insight about a negative reaction that I strongly feel has been running a huge part of my life much longer than necessary. And I have forgotten what it was. It has been completely wiped from my mind. I know that I had it because it left an echo in my mind, like “the lost chord” in the hymn. Here’s the question: will that lost insight still have a positive impact on my vibrational set point, or have I forever lost the benefit of the insight?

Tune in again later-much later.

P. S. I feel full of satisfaction with the post I created yesterday for “The Front Door”
