Holy s-h-i-t Holden, I was taking a break from "learning" so I decided to just pick one of the diaries I scanned ... to read ... and I had momentarily forgotten that I had set sumatrapdf with green text on black background ... I opened H-130, and to my surprise it comes out more readable this way.  I had set sumatra as default but never expected to be able to read the diaries with this setting!

I think you might want to download sumatra and at a command line type:

sumatrapdf.exe -set-color-range 0x00dd00 0x000000

sumatrapdf.exe H-130***.pdf

The Idiot Papers

What do you think?  We can forget about a publisher.  The work is done AS IS!

Also, I have your copy of all that I have salvaged in that format.  It is on an 8GB USB flashdrive shaped like a key.

I don't know where to send it, and, I have to confess, I am nervous about it. 

Two friends of mine also want copies.  Now that it is done, I am hesitant. 

I just looked at the volume from 1987 ... the notes from jail that are hardly readable with yellow paper from jail and blue ink.  I think it is easier to read with the green text and black background.

I did this accidentally, but it has a creepy feel to it with this configuration.

Maybe my work is done.

I go to court on the 28th. 

I have the flashdrive for you.  My mother knows where the disks are.  Your disk is a red key.

It would be a shame if something happened and it just sat in a box. 

All I have written all my life is just a stream of how I think and feel.  Maybe that's all I can ever hope to do.  And so what if it is in cursive.  It is what it is.

We are just ghosts!
