A well-educated Israeli offered to proofread the Hebrew, but marked many "errors" that were in quotations from Scripture. Because of both differences between historical and modern spelling and scribal errors, there are many words that are spelled differently in the Hebrew Bible, but in direct quotations you never "correct" these. (In reading aloud, however, you do correct those that would result in mispronunciations or poor grammar.) 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durangoscots Posted September 2 #77 Share Posted September 2 Good morning. Today is the last official day of the motorcycle rally and already I am noticing a slight decrease in the roar. Hopefully by tomorrow things will be close to our normal quiet. Wonder if I can leave town next year!!! Nothing new here. Weather is nice and sunny and we may get thunder showers this afternoon. it has been wonderfully cool at night. Yesterday I did help with the hunt for the Corgi. Right now the feeling is that he was picked up.... a sniffer dog tracked him to the road and then lost the scent. I am relieved and hope that is true since there is a chance we can get him back. Lots of posters are up.... reward offered .... and fingers crossed. We have used drones to see if we can locate him but so far nothing except deer and a couple of very surprised bears. Off to do whatever I am going to get done. No plans for the day. Almost everyone I know is hunkered down away from the roads.... we will celebrate when the rally folk are gone.

aliaschief Posted September 2 #78 Share Posted September 2 Good morning, For the next few weeks the post will be late. Even more so from Hawaii. It was a beautiful day yesterday for visiting the Oakland Zoo. It was especially enjoyed by our four year old granddaughter. So I’m headed for another cup of coffee and to catch up on what’s happening in your neighborhoods. Happy Labor Day. Bruce 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atexsix Posted September 2 #80 Share Posted September 2 Good morning and happy labor day. It's still warm and muggy but a marine layer moved in overnight and according to the weather app it's raining but the radar itself is blank, probably a little mist that never seems to show up on it. The rest of the week should keep the sun worshippers happy, it'll be back to the 80's, and higher inland, I'll post more info below for those traveling in the area. I'm resisting the temptation to do any laboring today. There's always some kind of housework to do. I did walk a bit this morning and stopped at the store to get something different for dinner after several days of leftovers.

Cruising-along Posted September 2 #81 Share Posted September 2 (edited) Good morning all! What a change, it's cloudy and cooler today (only up to 70). But that's fine, the sun and heat will return later this week. Interesting days, and I will pass on the coconut in any form. I'll also pass on the meal and red wine, but would like to try the drink. Have not been to the port -- thanks for all the photos! Happy 57th anniversary Lenda and Steve @Quartzsite Cruiser! Happy 70th birthday Maureen @RMLincoln! Denise @Denise T A big congratulations on completing your dissertation. I love that you have a cruise to celebrate! I got surprising news this morning. My DS and DBIL, who have been on a Tennessee River Cruise, have come down with Covid for the first time. 😞 They tested positive 2 days after leaving the cruise. They'd planned on visiting friends in FL, but now they're in a hotel until this passes. I feel bad for them -- DBIL had finally finished his prostate cancer treatments and they were finally able to travel. Good news about BFF's DIL Amber though. She had the final surgery on Friday. It was a 4-hour surgery to replace the skull flap and all went well. I know they're all very happy to have this over and done with. I think we'll be doing a Costco run today, and otherwise will be weather-dependent. Now the forecast is even calling for storms today! Have a good day everyone and Happy Labor Day!

Oh my gosh on coming down with Covid. I'll be praying for their recovery. My one and only time with Covid was caught on a ship as well, but after all the vaccines and boosters it was fairly mild. And now I guess it's easy to forget that Covid is still a thing, this'll serve as my reminder to get the booster, I turned down the last couple because I get really sick from them (very high fever) and couldn't take the chance with caring for Dear Dad. Ewww though on Costco, I won't need to go for another couple of weeks, Monday's are usually fine parking wise but today being a holiday? 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ANGELCAT Posted September 2 #86 Share Posted September 2 Good sunny and breezy afternoon. It’s a beautiful day here and I wish it would last. On Labor Day in 1997 I was in Juneau on my first Alaska trip. I did the Mendenhall river rafting and I still have the shirt from the trip. Direct tv and Disney are in a contract dispute and as a result we’ve lost our ABC channel. I hope it doesn’t go on too long Have a safe and blessed day. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they managed to never get Covid all this time and now... We've only had it once too, but not on a ship (we don't know where/how we got it). We've cruised 6 times since 2020 (some were long cruises too) and never got it. A new Costco opened up within a few miles from us and (shh) it's never been crowded. I think a lot of people don't know it's there. 😉 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a Costco in Bellevue, Kirkland or Issaquah are the closest so I just drive to Issaquah, and I miss it being only a mile away when we lived there. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Denise T Posted September 2 #97 Share Posted September 2 1 hour ago, StLouisCruisers said: Denise @Denise T congrats on your work completing your dissertation. Will you be getting a hardback published copy of it? When my kids got their graduate degrees, they handed us hardback books of their dissertations. I'm proud of both of them for their hard work, and they were equally proud to show us how much work went into it. Are you kidding us RNB? If not, what a huge coincidence that would be! 🫢 Let's hear from Lenda! Lenda @Quartzsite Cruiser I was thinking Brenda and Paul might live in the motor home too. I know they have some storage space aka barn/storage building where they could put their huge amount of furniture. They had a U-Haul truck here yesterday around dinner time, and had two men helping take furnishings to it. Since they have a lower level they used their golf cart to attach heavy pieces from downstairs, onto the back of the golf cart and drove it out front to the U-Haul ramp. It left early this morning and is probably down south dropping off furniture right now. I don't envy them all this work! That's a good question. I do not know if I will receive a hardcopy. Everything is digital now. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to ask, just in case. You may have to order one. They're nice to have on your bookshelf in a special spot where it won't be lost among all the other books. You know, in case your friends come over and want to see it! 😉 😄 9 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't catch it on any cruises after that though.
