Foscue Creek, Demopolis AL, December 12, 2007
Later: As I expected the furnace air intake and combustion chambers were full of wasp and mud dauber nests. What a mess and what a job to clean them all out. I had to take the furnace out of the cabinet and disassemble a lot of parts to get the chambers free so I could bang, poke, prod, and shake the nests all free and break them up enough to get them out through the openings. In addition the burner needed a good cleaning as well. I got the puppy all reassembled and back in place just before dark. Set the thermostat and turned her on - no fire. We got a fan but no fire. Fooey.

Others Choose the Path of Healing
The labor camp in Erfurt and, after the war, the refugee camp in Mainz were all I knew when I came here [from Germany] in 1947 at the age of seven. Like many camp survivors, it was not the experience itself that dogged me as much as the why of it. The why seems clearer every day: those who see themselves as victims, nations included, have license to commit these things. Others choose the path of healing.
