Nasty

And a lousy picture to match my lousy mood...

I can't proceed with my big plans for the overhead until I have this leak fixed and know it's fixed for sure. I have to be able to crawl up in there to look and feel for dampness. That won't be so easy once I've built what I'm building. Very frustrating.

At least it rains every day this summer. Holy Cow does it ever rain! All the rain has been a mixed blessing. While it gets in the way of having a dry exterior for sealing the leaks, if it weren't for the ongoing torrential rains I never would have believed this spot leaks in the first place. I've been all over the roof and everything looks fine up there. Very frustrating indeed.

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.
