Who Suffices

Colder outside than it was yesterday, clear sky, Bay is calm and flat, but wind 14 mph, so the Bay surface is not mirror flat but slightly ripply. 

Mindful this is no journal or diary, we are driving up to Chipley early afternoon to attend a friend’s funeral at St. Matthew’s. Sad but this is what happens, isn’t it. Not finished either, something about closed in the sod, as William Alexander Percy put it hauntingly.

Still worrying Psalm 91 for tomorrow. For one thing, unlike some translations for Christian use, looking at several direct translations from the Hebrew into English for Jewish reading, it isn’t awkward at all, the shifting of persons is quite clear, it makes perfect sense and poetry.

One translation of Shaddai reads

"… in shadow of Who Suffices …"

What bothers me? Not much. What intrigues me? The 1940 LaSalle was magnificent, but was the final year even though GM had a 1941 ready. 

The 1940 Lasalle and the 1940 Cadillac were indistinguishably identical except for the grill, treatment of the front. In the end they were wrapped together and LaSalle discontinued. The 1941 LaSalle picture above became the 1941 Cadillac Series 63 sedan.

Psalm or Cars, ridiculous or sublime is anyone’s perspective.
