Diary: Fast fire and news:

~~Record high temps, fast traveling fire and news.~~

It surprised me yesterday that there was such a high record to be broken from ca 1890s and only by about half a degree! Either global warming had an early start, or the weather varies a lot more than we realise, but should know. We humans collectively, affect the weather, but we certainly cannot control it, as time will tell.

Nature has its ways, as the fire in Fort McMurray showed yesterday. Around five pm I listened to CBC Radio 1 announcing part evacuation for the town. About an hour later I read on the internet’s RT-News that the whole town is under mandatory evacuation. This is news from Russia about a Canadian place an hour later with this radical evacuation change! Both, the nature’s fire and human’s news travel fast, at times.

As I expected, my grocery bill yesterday topped the one hundred by no less than 20$$. Some cheese and medication did the trick. John just called and he will be down for coffee and a bin visit for my recyclables. This leaves me about an hour to write my entry.

Writings: Recording first discovery notes:

~~My initial prompting notes on ‘discovery’ in humanity’s old stories are recorded today.~~

The idea of old and new discoveries still has my attention, so I’ll continue in the same vein as the last few days. Today I want to record some notes that I made at the very start of my writings on ‘discoveries’.

Last April 28 I made two notes as follows
1. The old stories as a given framework are now being replaced by a story of discoveries made by early civilisations. No longer a set and fixed series of events framed by an external source.
2. We can now interpret the old stories as discoveries and add them to our experience today and make them functional, informing us and ourselves.

No longer a set and fixed series of events framed by an external source.

Then on the 30th I added note 3:
Rewording note 2: reinterpret the old stories as a series of discoveries.
3: Apply ’Time - Place - People, Persons - Circumstance (TPPC) to each discovery / revelation and look for internal consistencies in each story by itself; that is, its structure, world view. End of the early notes.

I want to make these notes a part of the discussion, because as I wrote on them during the following days, I kept referring back to them. I felt there was still a sentiment and insight that had and has been left insufficiently expressed in my subsequent writing entries since the date of those notes.
This I’ll have to give some thought, but I have to get my bin stuff ready now.
