day residue
I got a perfect score on all my papers, got A's in the classes. Yay! On the final in one I only managed 82.5. Class average was 65.75 so I wasn't the only one struggling. It's funny that overall in the past few quarters, I score better taking two evening classes a quarter rather than one. It must be that there is no time remaining for distraction. But I won't do it again. It sucks the life right out of you after work.All I know is that I must finish, even while so much else in life seems in jeopardy.

So anyway, mutual dreaming contest afoot, must release day residue so it doesn't populate my dreams.
My mind has been absorbed by something I read in a radio transcript of an interview of a searcher. One of the speakers said more than once that the little town "was on the way to nowhere." An outsider is less likely to have abducted the little girl, because of the location of the town "on the way to nowhere."
Personally, I agree it is less likely for an abductor to be an outsider.
Yet,the town isn't at all "on the way to nowhere." It's part of the Olympic Peninsula loop.
Tonight, I was in a convenience store. This fellow is in the corner, unfolding maps and seems distressed. "Where am I? I've no idea how I got here," he finally confesses. A man behind me in line says, "We call it Felony Flats." The stranger grinned. He wants to find a campground at the beach.
I've heard people describe our own town as the end of the road on the way to nowhere. I think it is actually the end of a particular road. But it's also on the loop, the beginning or the end depending on where you start, and the beach.
Maybe going around in a circle "is" going nowhere in a sense, but the sights are amazing. And you can get coffee and a map in Felony Flats. ;)
I forgot why I started talking about this. Oh, to clear my mind..

the quaker
I had been working on a paper on IBM. It seems I always choose the computer industry, having written on Dell a few times and Cray and now IBM. It's really pretty fascinating and I consumed a lot of time understanding the product rather than following the money. Sometime late Saturday night I fell asleep and dreamed I was at a picnic and there were representatives of at least 5 computer firms there in business suits. There was one fellow standing there dressed as a pilgrim..or a quaker. It was Jackson Browne. He was singing "Didn't we believe in Love".I woke up and he was singing a concert on TV. I'll have to pick up a CD. Why was he a pilgrim in the dream I wonder? Maybe it was Thanksgiving, but there were no tables or food in the dream.
I added a table to my paper.
None of the computer dudes brought a turkey. Maybe that's a good thing.
What if he was a quaker? What would that mean?

In dreams I see the creek with choppy water. I'll keep looking.troubled
So odd, and alarming. I had an hour to kill before sleep. It's long past that now, and I should get up in a few hours.I thought to look up some friends I hadn't heard from for a long time. Most times when I have an hour, I wander through cold cases rather than search for living people.
This time I went looking for my old roommate from when I lived in Texas after my divorce. I was going to visit him close to 2 years ago thinking I could skip up to Kentucky after a day to see my Aunt and over to DC to a drum dance event at the Capitol. He thought my excursion plans were silly. We talked daily for awhile. He had a new girlfriend. She was there once when we were chatting. He seemed happy.
I didn't go. We had not spoken after that.
So I googled him tonight, put in his name and State. Maybe he had a blog.
Instead I found news. There was a person with his name charged just a few days ago with a very serious crime that occurred in 2007, and looking further I found his photo associated with it! His girlfriend died. That girl back then.
I'm sure he would not have hurt her. I remember that he is very kind to people. He saved his pet cat from a severe infection even though she annoyed him, as well did I. He also paid special attention to people with a hard life and checked up on them, like the landlady after he moved out, and people that others might reject for their problems. He had a great friend in a lady I remember as Ronnie. He grieved her so when she died. I just remember that she had a house on a canal and a parrot that went with her on her shoulder everywhere. They always irked me because they all thought I was strange and insecure. I sang alot in my apartment, and played the piano keyboard all day when not at work. Is that strange? But I always respected how much he cared about them, and he's always been my friend.
I don't know what to think.
I feel very badly for him. He got away and worked so hard to better his life and made it. I fear he will lose it all.
I don't know if he deserves to, or what happened.
It just makes me afraid.
