August 19

A fairly fast moving day yesterday as are most days after you get a little age on oneself. I suppose we have a slow day now and then but to make it such you really need to concentrate on it and that just happens to be one of our many powers that have declined somewhat.

Yesterday afternoon we got Davy's new dock out of his little 'put it together cove' and tied it up for Davy to move this morning. It was a very tight squeeze getting it out between Marcum and Rowles' docks. Davy, in his bass boat and Mike in the big boat, came by already this morning at 6:20 heading for the new dock then came back by pushing it home at 6:48.

Good is the view from here due to the 'cloudy looks like rain any minute' keeping most of the dock killing boats and wave runners off the water. A good book reading day with some NASCAR watching mixed in I'm sure. We try always to plan our days to be just as good as we can make them but every so often we succumb to the need of falsifying a few facts to ourselves so all things can at least be thought to be good or a little better than actual. Is it a sin to lie to yourself, the easiest person in the world to lie to? Why is laying down a lie? And then there are those that can stand and lie.

I doubt you would call, 'I've probably typed enough', a lie. Always build your embellishments around a truth or at least a half truth.

There are no whole truths: all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.~Alfred North Whitehead
