27 February, Friday. Palo Alto. People here seem more aware of War and as so many Japs will have to go else where off the coast it is a great problem. Mary drove to the City San Francisco and we spent the day seeing stores and places. Had a nice lunch and drove home early as Dr dosent feel himself. Called to see Bill & Janetta Osmond only to find them out. Time goes very fast. All nature is so beautiful here now one can hardly believe we have such storm and winter in Utah. EXTRACTOR OF ARROWS Originally the old Ionian word for physician, as used by Homer, meant an extractor of arrows. A good example of such wound surgery is the treatment given by Patroclus to the arrow wounded Eurypylus. Patroclus cut out the arrow from the thigh with a knife, and washed away the black blood with warm water. Then he applied a bitter pain assuaging root which checked all pangs; in deed, the wound dried up and the bleeding ceased. Saturday, February 28. Palo Alto. Maids day out. Mary has much to do so Dr and I went for a walk. Jenetta & Bill Osmond called & gave us a pressing invitation to have dinner with them but since our time is short here we declined. Dr has quite a cold and snoars so I cant sleep he is not conscious of it & tells me to wake him but as soon as I do he is at it again before I get in bed. So what is the use. It is quite a joke as he has seldom ever done so before. We must be getting old? Nancy is such a good child. A man like a WATCH, is to be valued for his GOINGS WILLIAM PENN.
