Today’s Thoughts
Chilly
morning but warming up nicely.
I
went over to the mall for their arts & crafts sales. There were about 50
vendors from around the area. I talked to several native vendors displaying
jewelry and crafts. I asked one vendor where he was from and after the usual Navajo
Reservation, I asked him where? He said Downtown Cameron. I laughed a little as
there is no ‘downtown’ there and said I was in Tuba for many years. Then he laughed and lived about 5 mi. north of
Cameron on the Grand Canyon road. A little later, a lady and her non-native
husband were selling nice hand-sewn potholders and other cute hand made crafts.
We started talking and after a few sentences, she said, ‘You are Mr. Frazier’.
Turns out she was a great SpEd aide from Red Lake when I was there. She lost
her husband while at Red Lake. He was Army Reserve and been killed in an auto
accident on the way to training. She raised 2 successful boys alone, left Red Lake
2 years later and moved to Flag. I saw her a couple of times when she worked in
a high-end jewelry store at the mall years ago. We had a nice conversation, and
I bought some nice potholders. A nice way to spend Saturday morning.
Before
leaving for the mall, I was checking my email on my office computer. Out of
nowhere I got the dreaded blue screen. I took my phone and about 30 minutes for
fix it. Still not sure why, but the computer is working fine now.

“All idealization makes life poorer. To beautify it is to
take away its character of complexity – it is to destroy it.”
“My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of
the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel- it is, before all, to
make you see. That- and no more, and it is everything. If I succeed, you shall
find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm-
all you demand; and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have
forgotten to ask.”
