'Many levels with Maria

My neighbor Maria talked about there being a void in the air, an emptiness with an edge
to it.  Family wasn't right, people weren't right, friends weren't right, the neighborhood wasn't right, the world wasn't right.  Even machines and gadgets had an attitude.  Eighty
two year old Lloyd was lewd to Maria, putting his hand on her thigh and suggesting certain acts to her.  No, things weren't right.

Later that day, wanting to send a photo to her friend showing her tremendous weight loss, she asked me to photograph her in her new "slut pants" and her belt that matched her purse her friend had bought for her.

Today, you have to dance on many levels.

>>Any thoughts about Ebola spreading worldwide? A very good article or opinion piece in the Times this week has me thinking it would be a good idea to stock up on some canned food (chicken, salmon, beef) to eat while staying inside in order to avoid contact with others for a while if it gets over here. I think they should be halting international flights with certain areas of the world. Mankind seems unable to act appropriately anymore regarding things like this or keeping Muslims out of western society. I think they are going to take over via population growth, migration, terrorism and war. It's already happening ... England and France are being invaded and are past the point of no return as we are with Mexicans & South Americans. Oof. I shouldn't have gone that far past Ebola....

crazy times. I'm not as informed about Ebola as I need to be. That will have to fill out. Did speak to my father and it was the first thing he mentioned about a week ago. Was it Libya that is decimated by it? Right now mind on overload, so it needs a breather.

>>A neighbor left me a bunch of food two years ago, canned, not good food, but that is my base for emergency, hurricanes etc probably through the end of the season. Then I'll have to replace it. Canned foods is not the best way to go...I forget the science but the cans do something negative. Glass jars are better. For a year or two maybe okay. Would still like a little garden but not allowed here, at least conspicuously. Your thoughts about isolation sound strange but aren't actually too far off in case Ebola lands here. Many implications.

>>The Muslim problem....well, its a problem. And one always wonders why it was allowed to get so far out of hand. But this is for another time. Good hearing from you.
