Out of Time

We're getting ready for my better half's physical therapy and I intend to walk while he does his exercises. It is a hot day but I will be mostly in the shade. If it's really too hot, after I walk awhile I'll go inside and read in the cooI while I wait. I'm reading a book titled "Out of Time" by Helen Schulman. It's a little different than my usual reading. It's about a boy who was killed in an accident. His family members and friends go back in time remembering him from their own point of view. It's interesting how they all remember him so differently. It makes me think of how our family and friends will remember us. They will remember us from their own perspective and I wonder what it will be. I had never considered that before. I think I learn something from most everything I read. Do you find it so?

@RubyHawk Less rain you may be able to water your plants, but too much rain like we have over here now, nothing much can be done.

We haven't had much rain of late and they tell us we're going into a drought. I don't know which is worse too little rain or too much.

Yes I do. I never thought of that. Interesting.

@RubyHawk I watched a cop show once where the police captain staged a shooting in the department unknown to all the other people there. The reason was to see what everyone saw since they were all witnesses. What they found was that no two people saw what happened the same way.

it's interesting to me to think about how people look at the same thing and see it differently.

I read mostly history and bios, so I definitively learn something new every day.

Any kind of reading is good, I like everything but I especially like books that make me think about things that never occurred to me before.

I know what you mean, they might not remember me either.

This would be very interesting. Vince and I often have different memories and interpretations on various things that have happened. I can understand that people would be remembered in different ways too.
