Many sounds bother  (and even hurt) my ears.  That being the case I never watch T.V.  for fear of the shrieking and shouting in the commercials;  I rarely listen to classical music in my home or on the car radio *** ; and when I listen to public radio in my car I am for ever turning the noise off  -  it bothers my ears. I am more than bothered by the noise of lawn mowers, grass trimmers and edgers, and especially  leaf blowers. My local friends know that I cringe at the sounds of noisy restaurants; loud conversations;  souped up cars and  motor bikes;  and modified Dodge Ram, Ford F series, and G.M. super trucks. More than my discomfort at loud public sounds, I am deeply bothered and made very uncomfortable by high musical notes and sounds.  I'd made a guess that any notes higher than the E above top C were bothersome.   I tested this with any on line key board and my guess was more or less accurate.

"Let's look at two biblical personalities - Abraham and Noah -  and how they addressed challenges during their times when there was a lot of uncertainty. Abraham was able to find an approach and a world view that enabled him to be Av Hamon Goyim, the father of many nations.

This morning, acting on a whim, I drove with Zion across the Bay on the Ringling Bridge,  to the westernmost parts of the City of Sarasota - St. Armands Key, Lido Key, and City Island. Many Sarasotans (and tourists) know City Island 'cause the Mote Marine complex is located there ( as well as the Salty Dog Cafe!). Few have visited and enjoyed the City owned and maintained "Ken Thompson Park"at the eastern tip of City Island. It's another one of Sarasota's (almost) hidden jewels.  Zion and I enjoyed it this morning. By the way, as I drove west on the Ringling Bridge I looked south and saw a water spout in the Gulf of Mexico, off Siesta Key.   One does not stop on the Ringling Bridge for photo' opps (!) but I bet that there will be a p hoto' or two in tomorrow's paper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- That apart, this is what Zion and I enjoyed this morning.
