0602 hours. When I think I am the pronoun I, I am the roadside and not the road.
Mr. Orndorff, you are thinking soul. - mh
0609 hours. The film Arrival pops into mind. How odd is that.

Arrival (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arrival is a 2016 American science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Eric Heisserer. It is based on the 1998 short story "Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang and stars Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker. The film follows a linguist enlisted by the U.S. Army to discover how to communicate with aliens who have arrived on Earth, before tensions lead to war.
The film had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 1, 2016, and was released in the United States and Canada by Paramount Pictures on November 11, 2016. It grossed $203 million worldwide and received praise for Adams's performance, Villeneuve's direction, and its exploration of communicating with extraterrestrial intelligence. Considered one of the best films of 2016, Arrival appeared on numerous critics' year-end lists[4] and was selected by the American Film Institute as one of ten "Movies of the Year".
It received eight nominations at the 89th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay, and won for Best Sound Editing. It also received Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress for Adams and Best Original Score for Jóhann Jóhannsson, and was awarded the Ray Bradbury Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation and the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation in 2017.
The score by Jóhannsson was nominated for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media at the 60th Grammy Awards.

Mid-morning. A few hours later and the above has lost its initial impact. - Amorella
0853 hours. How fickle I am. It seemed at the time to be an eureka moment; an understanding. At this moment there is hardly a connection. Words without much meaning now; then, meaning without words.
You have things to do, calls to make relating to the house and lawn, plus, you can't find your credit card. Post. - Amorella

0902 hours. The world at large takes dominion. It is like searching to sight a single star once in the light of day.
Mid-afternoon. You drove to State Farm in Clintonville to ask questions and pay for home insurance for the next twelve months. Lunch in Worthington at Piada Street Italian and presently you are facing west at Heritage Park opposite the shelter house in Westerville. Carol is taking her walk. Earlier you put a hold on your credit card and most of your errands (except for Kroger's) are done. - Amorella
1500 hours. We were anxious about the credit card but no one tried to use it and what is on it is accurate. Maybe it will turn up. We both lose things more than we used to; mostly we find them though. Such is the world. I remember a great short story by Isaac Bashevis Singer titled "Lost". I used to teach that story in AP class. Singer was a great writer. The other Isaac, Asimov was a great writer too.
Don't erase Singer and Asimov. Let them go and move on, young man. - Amorella
1734 hours. I just awoke. I must have really needed a nap.
Later. - Amorella
2310 hours. We watched more than one and a half hours of the two-hour special on violence and white supremacy hatred in El Paso and Dayton tonight on MSNBC. We will watch the rest of the special MSNBC program tomorrow. Earlier a similar focus showed itself on selections of NBC and ABC national news programs. At times over the last few years it appears we are living in the 1930's in Germany; the similarities of social engineering and design; a 1984 Orwellian world via the modern media traumatized world. Emotions and passions showed themselves on the media today. Several souls, dare I say, had their say on live television. Raw humanity. That is what we witnessed on the screen today.
