The last few days I’ve been working almost nonstop 18 hour days doing final layout for the September issue of Horizons Magazine.  It helps me to stay focused when I don’t dilute my thought energy.  I got several new ads and those are always fun to create.  I took breaks in the middle of the day and worked late into the night.  That’s my favorite time to work: nighttime, when it’s dark outside and the crickets are loud and the phones are quiet and the streets are clear.  About 5:00pm I took a ride to the rental home.  I’d turned the a/c off but kept the fan running and wanted to know how warm it got in there.  It wasn’t bad and it began to cool off quickly.  A/C floor vents are a good idea: heat rises.  I opened the little bathroom and kitchen windows for more air circulation, but kept the other windows closed in case it rained.  This way I won’t run up a big power bill on days I don’t get over there.  I’ve got good neighbors next door and across the street who are home all day long,  watchdogging the ‘hood.  Built in security!  As I look back over my life, I realize I always end up in the midst of people who want to look out for me.  Is that because I need protection or because we all like to have something or someone to protect?
