Monday Morning in New Diary

I hadthis very long and very vivid dream . I was living in Follansbee. I got laid off from the mill. I was very sick and on meds. Doctors said I should not be working but I still tried to work. I was working for this one family in Pa. They had a fartm or something. I worked very hard for five days. I was talking to the wife. I told her about my illness. She was trying to come on to me but I rebuffed her. Then she got mad and said I should be working. I could learn to operate heavy machinery. She told her husband that I tried to come on to her.

I was in this truck or something with her sons. They were taking me back to Follansbee. I didn’t want to go. Then they tied me up They dropped me in a mill yard and told everyone I was a scab. I got free of somehow but ll the men in the mill were about to beat me up I was telling them I am not a scab. They were going to throw me in this vat of melted metal. Somehow I talked my way out of it. They decided to put me on this flying contraption hoping I would fall

It was a very huge glider or something made of metal It had wire s from the back When it flew it was pulling something from the ground. Anyways I was hanging on for dear life I saw all kinds of machinery operating. It looked like the mill was prosperous and doing good.. I was up there in the glider and couldn’t understand why I got laid off if the mill was prosperous. Then I got mad After that I woke up early.

I got up and was thinking about my book Creation of the American Republic 1776-1787 I started reading a new chapter. The author, Gordon S Wood, was talking about Constitutions created during the revolution. I think he was saying that the American’s idea of what a constitution is came to be very different than GB. For one thing the new country believed in a written constitution. They believed that this document was superior to ordinary laws passed by the legislatures. Laws were supposed to be in congruence with the constitution or they would be void Anyways it was very hard for me to comprehend. I had to read over the first section thee or four times.
