I was writing about the Król cases when actually the seed of this character goes way back to eighth grade.I had a vision of three adventurous lads who solve mysteries: you, Peter Stefaniak (RIP), and I. I must put this thought in my diary (poimen on Live Journal). I just realized that I've developed it many years later, only with different characters. The ones with Keith, Joe, and I, or with Gary, John, and I were versions. This one I stopped working on, "Based Baseball", has Chuck, Paul, and I. Three seems to be a better number of major characters.

As American top 40 from 1978 ran, I thought of how my life would have changed with a little psychology (as first noted in “The Man Called Flintstone”). Not only would I have done better in Ashley against bullies, but it would have served me well even in1978 at the International Association and in East Halls that summer.

Going further, I would have done better in the job interviews, perhaps putting an end to the slide after finishing Penn State in 1984, the other American Top 40 this weekend. Therefore, it’s overdue I start learning psychology for the job next tax season. I still need technical skills to occupy the next eight months. I certainly have the paid courses to use without any more expenses beyond Woodrium.

 I checked out the concept of modular arithmetic on a video which explained it in terms of a clock. Afterwards, I checked out the proof of congruence on Mu Prime, and I understood it completely. The modulars remind me of the different bases in simpler arithmetic.

Using a clock as modular twelve confirms I’d understood that concept before I went to school. Even the subtraction of two different time periods with a remainder of 93, which I knew was 53 minutes in fifth grade explains how I did it.

In a video on Karl Gauß as The Greatest Mathematician. There was a note how he figured his birthday as the Wednesday the week before Ascension. I stopped the video and tried to figure it out myself and did!  First, I had to determine the pattern of 1777. 1977 was a 2, so 1877 was a 7, and 1777 was a 5.

Second was when Easter had occurred. Taking the 19-year cycle of the moon, 190 years later was 1967. I know the full moon was Saturday, 25 March. Using that same date in 1777, then Waster was 30 March, the following Sunday from that Tuesday. .

Ascension was then Thursday, 8 May. The Wednesday the week before Ascension was 30 April. The video noted he used modular arithmetic. Mu Prime has covered the subject, which I never took.

I was contemplating the comparison of modular arithmetic and bases. Bases wouldn’t work with larger numbers like mod 60 because the bases would lack markers for the numbers!

Thanks to a finish yesterday, I actually pulled  ahead today, along with another hour-long trip to the liquidators. This time, i bought five shirts for $10! There doesn’t seem to be anything else there that I can buy. The prices are usually a little less than Ollie’s in line with the thrift stores.

Over the past week, I’ve been reminiscing over past stories I never wrote, particularly in 1967 and 1971. The latter manifested in the “Forbidden Forest”, which I wrote in 1989. The protagonists find themselves trapped in a cave. In the one in 1967, the protagonist breaks a leg and becomes somewhat immobile. There’s a puppy involved, which manifested the following November.

I wrote a comment of Mu Prime for Coprime Numbers and Reducing Modular n. In the latter, a 58-year old mystery even Mrs Gilbert of Hackettstown Elementary School didn’t know became clear.

I was watching a video about a boy genius who solved a difficult math product a different and simpler way. He said he had seen patterns and the numbers talk to him. Both seem familiar to me when I saw how the calendar works.

Later I thought about the trouble I’d had with both differential equations and linear algebra. I didn’t see the patterns I sought, so the numbers didn’t talk to me that time! Perhaps I should look for those patterns now, and have them speak to me!

Thoughts on last night’s encounter with Chat Pre Trans. 1967 local crooks to a large conspiracy of chemical warfare

Important character – father figure to protagonist? Help uncover conspiracy?

Background influence?

Friendship of strangers as develop in the mystery

Injury of protagonist provides weight to danger,

The puppy rewards the ordeal, adds an emotional layer to the ending, adds stability and signals a new beginning.

The mentor figure adds dynamic, guidance, and more concept.

The fathers:

Protagonist's; saloon owner in trailer, then can buy home at the beginning of the story

His family could leave the maternal grandparents

Buddy's: farmer who also works for the university as a professor

Add: both bound and gagged as part of the ordeal

Structure keeps focus on the boys’ adventure while allowing the mentor to provide the needed guidance.

The work at Block remains steady. I’ve passed 150 finished with five weeks to go, around two thirds finished. I still had time to start a fulfillment besides an hour break.

On this date in 1969, I bought my first television, which lasted nineteen years. I leaned to work and same for what I wanted. On this date in 1986m I checked into Council House with a bad case of Reaganomics. I never recovered financially, and it destroyed that very same lesson. Work and save means nothing because it’s not what you know or willing to do, but rather it’s who knows you. Agent Orange makes it so clear!

 I am working on combining my experience with mysteries of George Król and Donald Hough. My first taste suggests I should pursue it further. As the first mystery I wrote in 1977 reflects the setting of 1977, I could start with 1967, perhaps a kind of “Young George Król”.

I opened the physics book from 1976, and there was the chapter on vector we skipped back then. Therefore, i began linear algebra devoid of vectors in my knowledge! What do the professors teach? Nearly a half century later, I’m getting a generalized view of what I should have seen.

This morning I was walking to Acme when I thought of having George Król a father who owns a bar. I am thinking of an alternate universe. I don’t understand why I didn’t think of it earlier, although I was moving in that direction over the past 45 years.

 I spent a good deal of time on Tom Holland deep faked into “Back to the Future”. I thought of how I took time and drew a satire of the movie after seeing Mad Magazine and Cracked try a satire. I had taken pictures from a magazine to draw it. So, if I had tried it now, where would I have found the pictures on the internet? Which Spiderman movie would I draw Tom Holland: Homecoming? No Way Home? 

I had a thought as I practiced my speech for Thursday. The professors never explain how to learn their subjects. I was the pioneer in college, so I had no one to give me tips on, say, mathematics. 

 I became aware that after nearly three decades here, I still don’t know the kind of conifers in the backyard. The one at the southern end is an Eastern Pine. I should know some dendrology 

I was taking down the last of the laundry when it occurred to me that my deference to authority had spilled over to everyone else. It took a long time to begin critical thinking with the deference as lingering.

Before the news, I was checking out the outline I have for Box-Jenkins when I considered my struggles in the MBA program. In the current case, I see I didn’t have the background. While it was obvious in the course for management information, I never thought it had been the case for the other three. I later had so much trouble, I probably didn’t have the time the last semester with the rush and the two courses I had to take. Now that I have the time, I find out what I missed.

 I started another linear algebra, this time with Trevor Bazett. He explained vector spaces in a way I never heard. Now I understand how addition and multiplication of vectors lead to vector spaces. These videos easily teach math without proofs and other dross. I should had abandoned my method long before I gave up on linear algebra in February 1977!

I went along another linear algebra course, which actually shows what the matrices are doing with the vectors. That course in 1977 looks completely different in its abstraction. There were no visual examples in that course, and the technology is no excuse. A mere board provides enough examples without an internet nor even a computer. Haydn Maust of Mu Prime proved it, yet the course was a quarter century before he was born.
