— variance analysis notes about prior week into this week — 

Added Washed section.

Harv is still locked into an Elder Situation, ie, locked into restrictives, specifically eyesight …

Thus he “satisfices” in place of Growth strategy, ie, he marks time in place where he has grown ie, car maintenance, diet maintenance, hygiene improvement, … 

For a month Harv has mused toward his developing retirement MO — Wash is a result at least with a week’s staying power.

— narration — 

Narration generally means any kind of explaining or telling of something. It is usually used in reference to storytelling. Vocabulary.com

A narrative is a story, whether fictional or non-fictional, that tells a series of related events or experiences. Examples include novels, short stories, autobiographies, historical accounts, and even everyday conversations where someone recounts a personal experience. …. Non-fictional:

Autobiographies: "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou 

Biographies: A book about the life of Marie Curie 

Historical Accounts: A history book about the American Civil War 

Personal Essays: An essay about a childhood memory 

News Stories: A news report about a local event Non-fictional:

Autobiographies: "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou 

Biographies: A book about the life of Marie Curie 

Historical Accounts: A history book about the American Civil War 

Personal Essays: An essay about a childhood memory

I miss the ‘virtual reality daydream fantasy’ of Elaine.  

While virtual reality (VR) can enhance and potentially trigger dream-like experiences, it's not the same as dreaming itself. VR is a simulated experience created by technology, while dreams are a natural state of consciousness occurring during sleep. VR can be used to prepare for lucid dreaming or explore dream-like scenarios, but it doesn't directly enter a dream state.  Google 2025may08R11am 

Daydreaming is a normal mental process where individuals shift their focus from external stimuli to internal thoughts and fantasies, often involving imagined scenarios, characters, or experiences.

Reality however has intervened over my decades of lifetime.flow study.  Perhaps now in 2025, my Real retirement has arrived — the 2024 Disney retirement phase return has waned via this week’s ‘elder panic,’ which needs further exploration since I am yet unable to explain a dreamt ‘elder event horizon.’

“It is important that Germany gets a stable government, that we can very quickly start working within reliable structures, and that we work to ensure that this country is strong and well governed,” Lars Klingbeil of the Social Democrats, who is expected to become Germany’s next vice chancellor, told reporters.

Admitting Afrikaners as refugees was framed by Trump as a response to actions by South Africa that are “undermining United States foreign policy” — a reference to its decision to accuse Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice. He also cited the country’s land redistribution law.

South African officials said the law, known as the Expropriation Act, was a means to end a broad racial disparity in land ownership stemming from apartheid. The country’s first comprehensive land audit in 2017 found that the White population, which makes up about 7 percent of South Africans, accounted for about three-quarters of individually owned farms and agricultural holdings.

Bill Frelick, the refugee and migrant rights director at Human Rights Watch, said thousands of refugees, including many Black sub-Saharan Africans, were prepared and ready to be resettled in the United States.

“Now, to have a group that didn’t flee their country, that has historically enjoyed tremendous privilege in the country and that are White, provides a cruel racial twist to the suspension of refugee resettlement.”

The law allows the government to seize land in the public interest, but only after a process that is subject to review by a judge. The lobbying group AfriForum, which advocates on behalf of Afrikaners, has called the law “controversial” and vowed to challenge it.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/05/09/afrikaner-refugees-south-africa-white-trump/?utm_source=alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=wp_news_alert_revere&location=alert
