Deep In The Heart Of Texas

With Merovee, I’ve always had to find a balance between my personal investigations and more general topics. But I think by sometimes putting my personal questions and mysteries down on paper, or code with the Internet, I think it may shine a light on the macrocosm. And you may have similar thoughts concerning your past.

In a few weeks on 1/8 it will be my birthday. My body will have aged 60 years which is totally unbelievable and links with my birthday on 1/8/60.

A couple of years ago, Jenny sent me a link to a news story about The Tower shooting in the University of Texas in Austin on 1st August 1966 by Charles Whitman.

The Whit Man always gets the blame. Just kidding. Or maybe not.

 

 

The White Washington of History.

 

 

General Lee speaking.

 

 

 

When Jenny sent the link, it gave me a shock for some reason. First of all, there was the coincidence with my birthday but also it brought back memories of the incident. I remembered it as a big shock when I was young even though I was 4000 miles away in England. At the time I read the link I thought it strange that a 6 year old boy in England would be effected by and also remember the shooting. I remembered it as a ‘Big’ story.

 

 

‘August 1, 1966, was the day our innocence was shattered. A sniper rode the elevator to the top floor of the iconic University of Texas Tower and opened fire, holding the campus hostage for 96 minutes in what was a previously unimaginable event.’

Fast forward 53 years and I fly over to see Jenny for the first time in person in Texas. Jenny was worried that I would find it a bit of a culture shock. Apart from God being everywhere I had no problems.

From my time there Texans seem very welcoming. Before I arrived Jenny told her neighbours I was coming and a female friend of hers requested to meet me. After Jenny and myself had some time together we went to see her friend. I introduced myself and then her friend gave me a big hug – ‘Hello Frank’ . Which in hindsight is a bit odd even for friendly Texans.

Jenny’s mom had donated a bottle of brandy and Jenny rang her mom to say I had arrived and was tucking into the brandy. Her mom and I then got talking and there was a very relaxed conversation between us. Again in hindsight far more relaxed than I would expect.

During the two weeks I was in Texas we did a lot of travelling. And outside the cities, the journeys in the car seemed familiar with the roads and countryside. At one point I said this reminds me of when I was young.

One evening we were sitting on the sofa discussing things and in the conversation I said ‘Why did I come back to Texas’ when I meant to say ‘Why did I come to Texas’ and we both stared at each other with an OMG look on our faces.

Which leads back to The Tower shooting at UT. For some reason, even before I visited Jenny I had a good knowledge of the Texas geography and also the history of the state. I probably knew far more about Texas than the rest of the country.

Two days before the UT Tower incident, England won the 1966 Football World Cup. I have absolutely no memory of this even though I was football mad. And yet I distinctly remember the shock of the Tower.

I realise this is virtually possible to prove but I believe it is possible that the reason why I remember it and know all about the Alamo and Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie and Sam Houston etc is that I was a young child in Texas at the time and that my trip to Texas was a journey down Memory Lane as well as the joy of getting together with Jenny.

 

 

I find it very peculiar that I don’t remember the 1966 World Cup win. I was football crazy. I have strong memories of my childhood in England with family and friends but suspect there is more to my childhood than I imagine. I’m playing around with a few theories and any ideas would be welcome.

I know I’ve talked about Memory and the Past and Time since the Year Dot but we seem to be approaching some sort of Crunch Time. Is the past what we think it is ? Is Time what we think it is ? How can you prove what you remember about yesterday actually happened ?

 

 

Also when I was young, I liked Cowboys and Indians. Again, this may not be strange for a young boy. TV programmes like The Virginian, Bonanza, and the High Chapparal were shown here but I think there maybe more to it.

 

 

Memories ain’t what they used to be.

  1. I think from time to time we touch the walls of a separate reality. Maybe. Possibly. As a personal experience, I spent three months in Eastbourne, UK when I was 11, in 1982. I can recall the time spent there in vivid detail, which in retrospect, now seems more like it was a lifetime. Perhaps it was.

    And as Memory Anchors go, Frank, you have UT Tower shooting on your birthday as I have a vague anchor to the syncing of Herald of Free Enterprise on mine (March 6, 1987) Something comes through about Memory and Crossing the Channels.

    1. I wasn’t around in 1966, but I always associate this song (12″ version) with the Zeebrugge ferry sinking, as I was listening to it when I first learnt of the tragedy…

        1. And a few days ago I had to wait at a railway crossing for a train to pass.

      ‘The particle matrix of earth which is the magnetic female universe, is a part of the merge coming into the zero point field outside of the current forces of the polarity structure. The magnetic female universe is merging with its counterpart universe, which is the anti particle electrical timeline.’

  2. Cannon fodder

  3. ”Memories (also Otomo Katsuhiro’s Memories) is a 1995 Japanese animated science fiction anthology film with Katsuhiro Otomo as executive producer, and based on three of his manga short stories. The film is composed of three shorts: Magnetic Rose (彼女の想いで, Kanojo no Omoide), directed by Studio 4°C co-founder Kōji Morimoto and written by Satoshi Kon; Stink Bomb (最臭兵器, Saishū-heiki), directed by Tensai Okamura of Darker than Black fame and written by Otomo, and Cannon Fodder (大砲の街, Taihō no Machi), written and directed by Otomo himself.”

    Memories

    Plot: “The Corona has been struggling against a powerful magnetic field coming from the station, pulling the ship towards it. In desperation, they fire a powerful energy cannon, gouging the structure deep enough to reach the cavern. “

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memories_(1995_film)

    Stink Bomb
    Plot: “ This story is based in part on the Gloria Ramirez incident. In it, lab technician Nobuo Tanaka, battling the flu, mistakes some experimental pills for cold pills and swallows one. The pills are part of a biological weapon program, reacting to the flu shot already in his body. Tanaka soon develops a deadly body odor and becomes a walking weapon of mass destruction. While taking a nap, the odor he emits kills everyone in the Lab. Horrified, he reports the incident to headquarters, as they instruct him to deliver the experimental drug to Tokyo. Meanwhile, the odor he emits grows stronger to where it affects several miles of the surrounding area, killing every living thing that smells his odor, except flowers and plants. ”

    Cannon Fodder

    Plot:
    “In a walled city perpetually at war, everyone’s livelihood depends upon maintaining and firing the enormous cannons that make up most of the city. Nearly every building in the city is equipped with a cannon of varying size, able to fire huge artillery shells over the city walls. The story is centered on a young boy and his father, who works as a lowly cannon-loader.

    The city is surrounded by clouds of smoke and dust provoked by the shots fired by the cannons. Despite news of successful bombardment of the “enemy moving city” by the local media, there is not any visual confirmation that it is true, or even if there is an enemy at all.“

  4. Elena, Frank:

    Re your comments about the last crop circle in HAMshire, UK. The one with the keyhole. Is it on a ley line?

    Re: death of Elvis Presley’s grandchild.
    Elvis Presley ->press ley veil.

    Grandsun name Keough. Sounds like keyhole.

      The whole of the South of England is a mass of leylines I think. I live close to Purley, Horley and Crawley. Seems to speak of something.

      About the statues. I’m playing around with alternate timelines. For fear of something worse. In ‘In the Shadow of the Moon’ , the characters alter Time and delete a race war from Time. Maybe, possibly. What we can’t see.

      “A sun dog or mock sun, formally called a parhelion in meteorology, is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot to one or both sides of the Sun. Two sun dogs often flank the Sun within a 22° halo. “
