A while back I posted some notes when I was watching for first time the DVD for one of those "Planet of the Apes" films.
I gave a lot of thought to that one DVD where the chimpanzees have time-traveled backwards in time to the Earth of the present time of that film.
What I thought extensively about writing was of how that one human being, when his character is first shown, reminded me in physical appearance of my memory of Joseph Wayne Burgess.
I composed the note in my mind I thought about posting and I thought that actor resembled Joseph Wayne Burgess in facial appearance except for that Hollywood haircut sported by that actor.
I thought about that all again tonight, and because I had not thought of it before, as I watch on internet streaming video that 1968 "Star Trek" episode "Wink of an Eye." That same actor is one of the starring guest stars of that episode, also reminding me of his unfamiliar Hollywood haircut.
The context of the 1968 premiere reminds me of something I was thinking of in the past couple days, before I had even had any idea I would just now watch this episode. The way I remember it my mother told me about when she and Joseph were still married. We all lived in a house that used to be a barn that Homer Burgess owned. Homer was her step-father. He was the brother of the father of Joseph Wayne Burgess. After my mother's father, Coleman, and her mother, Bettie, divorced, Bettie remarried to Homer and that seemed to be before I was born. She was my maternal grandmother but she had the last name of my paternal grandfather. That wasn't confusing to me at all because I never knew my paternal grandmother. Joseph Fletcher Burgess told me that his wife, the mother of Joseph Wayne Burgess, was long dead. I cannot even recall her name. She was dead before I was born. All I knew was my step-grandmother, Pauline. She and he married sometime apparently before I was born. Fletcher was a great guy. I can remember going fishing in a river near Antlers back in late 1986, I guess that was, when I was home on leave. I remember that because of something similar to the August 1986 "Red Storm Rising" that is early in the book when "Toland" is out fishing with his father-in-law and that always makes me wonder, especially considering how I seem to have a sudden source of insight sometimes. I feel certain I had not read that book until I was stationed aboard the Wainwright beginning in July 1987.
Oh yeah, as for 1968, what I wanted to note was thoughts I have had in recent days. The way I remember it, I remember my mother telling me about that time we lived in that house Homer owned just outside Antlers Oklahoma. I can still visualize certain details. The way I remember it since my sister Melissa was born in February 1968 then we must have lived there for a while after she was born. I can remember - perhaps I remember - I can visualize something - something about her in a crib while we lived there in Antlers Oklahoma and the way I remember it my mother told me that I used to drop my toys into her crib and I remember that because she said I would drop them on top of her.

[Environmental Engineering]
(Deela is kneeling next to the still-unconscious Kirk.)
DEELA: I hate what happens to them when they're damaged. You're going to have to learn to control your temper, Rael. I do not want that to happen to this one. If they are so stubborn a species, perhaps they will last longer.
RAEL: It may be.
DEELA: I hope so. They all go so soon. I want to keep this one a long time. He's pretty.
RAEL: He is inferior, Deela.
DEELA: Oh? I don't think so.
RAEL: You cannot allow yourself to feel an attachment to such.
DEELA: I can allow myself anything I want. Oh, Rael, don't be like that. Am I jealous of what you do?
RAEL: I do my duty.
DEELA: So do I. And sometimes I allow myself to enjoy it.
(Kirk wakes up.)
DEELA: Hello.
KIRK: What is that device doing on my ship?
RAEL: Deela will explain it.
DEELA: I will tell you anything you want to know, and you'll approve of it.
KIRK: Approve of it? We're your prisoners.
DEELA: Hardly. You're free to go anywhere you want to.
