Blossoming may require gusts and downpours.

I love the Colonel Kurts connection because this entire administration reminds me of Conrad's AN OUTPOST OF PROGRESS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Outp...

I love the movie Fright Night, but I'm still trying to figure out why a vampire would move to the suburbs.

George F. Worts who wrote Singapore Sammy--a man searching the world for his deadbeat dad and the legal will that left Sammy everything--was also Loring Brent, who wrote Peter the Brazen--a radio operator who broke up human trafficking rings, and precursor to Doc Savage.

Without the Citizens United decision the last fifteen years of U.S. politics would not be feasible.

This era has revealed my comfort literature to be Adventure.

D is for Dismember.

The British isles meme time with a head of lettuce while in America it's measured in Scaramuchis.

Somebody put it into words for me. "The internet cannot go beyond first tier intelligence." You want logic you have to move up a tier.

Happy Monday.

What exactly is going on here?

Consciousness = Patterns (Wavelengths are patterns) Prediction is the fruit of repetition. *Locked in a pattern is frozen in time. (Patterns are anti-time.) --Weird stuff in my notes

My plan is to not "maxx" anything.

Norbert Davis' Doan and Carstairs would have been great screwball comedies. His detectives were always incredibly sneaky or lucky. Doan was lucky he had a dog more civilized than he was.

I went camping and was disconnected from the world for three days. It was great. The second I hit civilization I was expected to have a cell phone. Weird feeling.

Joyfully, because AI is down. I've got a short humorous piece to write, and AI isn't funny. It takes a little curiosity to be humorous.

Daredevils of the 21st Century! "Going to IHOP and ordering blueberry pancakes. Then I'm going to have a salad for lunch."
