Here is my illogical thinking from today's Weisschronicles


M - I noticed you took the old car Saturday night. I was worried.

G - Would you have worried if you took it.

M - Not as much.

G - Why is that? Do you think its more likely to have a mechanical when I'm driving it?

M - Yes

It reminded me of an illogical trialogue from the late 1960s. We were playing cards. Someone led, the picked trumped with a jack and it took the trick.

Wisconsin player - Up in northern Wisconsin, you'd have to trump with a queen to win a trick like that.

Gerry Berg (then Gerry Rottenberg or Robear) - Why, do they get more voids in northern Wisconsin?

Wisconsin player - Yup.

Me (going as Jocko) - I guess that's what makes them such good players.   6:15 PM
  Work

I was visiting Irwin in Balt yesterday.

One of the things we discussed was our dad's concept of work on sabbath. Dad considered that driving to synagogue on the sabbath wasn't difficult at all but walking (it was about a mile and a half to the synagogue after we moved to Caddington Avenue in about 1962) was and thus the concept of not doing work on the sabbath would allow driving but not walking.

Of course the problem is somewhat semantic. The hebrew word 'melacha' is usually translated 'work' but that's just one of those things. It probably should be translated 'sanctioned creative work' but that phrase is too clumsy to put in bibles.   6:44 AM

  Pikes Peak Memories

I visited the Garden of the Gods last weekend. This reminded me of my visit there in 1967. The visitor's center wasn't as nice. Back in 67 we took a bus up to Pike's Peak. It was snowing. My dad and mom were sitting somewhere else and my dad called to me "I'm out of film, use yours up the mountain." I thought he said "Use up your film" and took a bunch of pictures that were basically a foggy mountain road. Back in 67, when we got to the top of Pike's Peak (about 14,100ft), I felt fine - no altitude effects. On this trip, I had altitude effects at Loveland Pass (about 11,900ft).  5:25 AM
Martin's memories preceding the chronicles, i.e., before 1986. The reason for this blog is to capture old memories that come back to me at seemingly random times. Thus the entries will not be in chronological order. Also, the accuracy of this blog is less than the accuracy in the more contemporaneous blog http://weisschronicles.blogspot.com/
