Thievery

I have some new insight for my “46605” Painting. I want to share the English word for “le vol.” In English Thievery is something a Thief does.

The French word for “thievery” or “theft” is le vol.

Common French translations depending on context: Le vol is the most common and direct word for theft or thievery.

Comment: From 1989-1990, I learned GAV. And that became “Gevluef.” Although I do Philanthropy for others, I need some for myself. I wonder what “Gevluef” is in France? Whatever it is, it’s my Internet Identity.

Casa E Staff Problem

The bank is telling me to pay my rent. My current landlord is cashing my rent checks a month past. Read about the Landlord that doesn’t.

Telecare is waiting to cash the checks from a month passed. My balance is high. The bank told me to pay my rent. I can see that there is a problem. Telecare is experimenting with our rent money. So I have a bank balance and a real balance. There is an outstanding rent check every month. The bank is telling me to pay my rent. I might have a problem because I think I’m not paying my rent or that the landlord doesn’t accept my rent check. From this a whole host of problems are manifesting.

Telecare will be my Landlord until November 2026. Then my Casa changes to another landlord/provider. The Casa E Board and Care is getting repurposed into an 18 month program. I have to go.

Comment: July 23, 2026: I did some research and figured out that this is something that landlords do. Cashing a rent check within 14 days is the standard. After a whopping 180 days the check becomes stale. In Ventura there is no rent control, so the landlord isn’t subject to any rules to govern timely rental check processing.

I think my father’s love for wine was a Bordeaux

I think my father’s love for wine was a Bordeaux

My father loves wine. I think it was originally a Bordeaux that captivated his interest in wine. He was 21 in 1954. So, his Bordeaux was a wine built to last, meant to be locked away in a cellar and respected. But today, the bottles sit untouched. The world got faster, our tastes got lighter, and the grand, slow-aging romance of my father’s wine choices feels like a relic of a time we don’t know how to inhabit anymore.

Jennifer is not good for me. She had an especially negative mood. She realized Pi.
Jennifer vs. Natalie.
Jennifer is Numbers and Natalie is Letters: a Library for example.
Jennifer I’m Jilted.

My father’s name is Devitt. For the name Devitt, Pi is necessary. Try to realize Pi as not doing so is a liability. Double “T” Pi. There is a Pi in the name. Playfully, if it has to be a Pie, let’s make it Pumpkin.

Comment: August 1, 2026: I lost her as a service. I’m sorry I complained.

Casa Housing In Jeopardy

Staff at Casa Esperanza needs to recognize our Stonehenge housing is in jeopardy. Like raising the rent the County, who owns our housing facility is clearing our entire household of 15 clients; all have to leave by November. Something about this should identify as fishy. I am writing because I’m skeptical. This is classic housing discrimination!

The current mental health provider that has the contract with the county, Telecare started it. They are leaving Casa Esperanza for some reason. They say “they don’t.” How they get to that point is known. The administrative staff at Telecare Corp. is not cashing the rent checks. The ones they are cashing are from the month before. My account has an outstanding check every month. Does that sound like a reason to stop as the landlord? The Clients all have a high balance on record. The balance is supposed to be less than $2000.00. The rent is $1444.07 per month. This the Telecare Corp has wrong. So, they must say they don’t. At the very least this is a problem for clients like myself; I have to fix my account to stay under the limit. I bet that many clients are in trouble with a high balance.

I am trying to explain the problem. The County owns the building. They are just fixing the Telecare issue as to why Telecare doesn’t.

How am I supposed to get along after November when the County has me leave my home.

In other news, Alan Greenspan died this past Monday on June 22, 2026.

Rumi Poem

What’s That?

I started out on this road, call it
love or emptiness.

I only know what’s not here:
resentment seeds, back-scratching
greed, worrying about out-comes,
fear of people.

When a bird gets free, it
doesn’t return for the remnant
left on the bottom of the cage!

I’m close by; rain. Far off, a cloud of fire.

I seem restless, but I am deeply at ease.
Branches tremble; the roots are still.

I am a universe in a handful of dirt,
whole when totally demolished.

Talk about choices?

While intelligence considers options,
I am somewhere lost in the wind.

—-Rumi

Critique of Kant

I thought that Kant’s Categorical Imperative explains what has been going on with me. Especially since Leila passed away in 2018. I was her associated person. I think that made me susceptible to Kant’s Philosophy.

Now I have a problem because it doesn’t account for the person that’s a “no” from the get go. So, I looked into Kant’s critics.

Paul Guyer

In The Cambridge Companion to Schopenhauer (1999), the philosopher Paul Guyer wrote an article titled “Schopenhauer, Kant, and the Methods of Philosophy.” It was suggested that I try to get the person’s consent.

This is the Wikipedia page for Arthur Schopenhauer’s main work. It’s two volumes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_as_Will_and_Representation
