Daily Thoughts 05/03/2014

I checked the libraries Twitter and Facebook today.  I also posted about the vote on May 6, 2014 from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Community Room of the Mount Vernon Public Library.

Today is the second day of the Friends of the Library Book and Bake Sale.  I hope it goes well today.

I read some more of Memories, Dreams, Reflections.  In some ways, it is quite interesting.  For example Jung describes building his house without many modern conveniences so he can be closer to nature.  For example, there is no telephone, he pumps water by hand, and chops firewood.  I also like Jung's comparison of the Pueblo religion to that of the Eleusinian mysteries.
