World without Honour
Life without Meaning
RUNE: Three Dice. In Pocket.
RUNE: Gramps Social Security Card. Not really a rune; but a remembrance, a connection. Burnt.
RUNE: Pinewood Derby Car Wheel. In The Park Bin. Also, gone. This is not a life I wish to repeat.
It is done.
I'm getting ready to sever all connection.
WALK: Yipperie-Do! OK4U!/:-
WALK: I found The Home-Run Fence-Post Holes.
/*all one word*
Rules of Game Night
1: You Do Not Brag About Game Night: you let others brag for you.

Politeness
Intelligence
Socialization
Emotional Control
Cunning Deception
Gallant Honour
And Lasting Friendships
"We love Game Night!"
"We Love SO-&-SO!"
"We Love U!"
"You're with the girl that sings; and she likes you," observes Some Wise Guy Private Detective. "From where I'm sitting," booze bottle in hand, "you got it all."
"But then, where are my manners," he adds, procuring two glasses, into which he pours two double-double shots each, spilling the excess over the edge without care. "Truth be told, I always found a reason to drink. And from there..." pausing, waving, holding, setting one of the two glasses down, picking up the other, "So, what are we drinking to, tonight?"
SWGPD (Some Wise Guy Private Detective) → SWG Police Department → South WG → South West Gate?
S → Sergeant?
*spicy*, because why the heck not?
The right to have babies would seem (in my ever so humble opinion) to be intrinsically more important than the right to not have babies. But that's just me.
When given a forced choice between A or B, the actual best choice is usually the unmentioned option of C, D, or E.
RUNE: Ivory(I)-D6. 2B(Black)-D6. But which to rub in any one circumstance: I-D6 or B-D6?
DAD: Good/Bad
DAD: Honest/Indifferent
SORT: Three Pecans. New this year. Not quite Runes. It's time to pare everything way down.
DAD: Green Notebook Project. Good/Bad on either side of a page, tear and throw out on walk, recording here as I remember to do so... and/or as feel like it.
SORT: Scratchpad Graph-Paper Notebook. Half Full.
SORT: Dad Pic
SORT: Nicolas Bolas. Dragon. Magic The Gathering. Trading Card. Last One.
20-480: Money. Not mine. I just don't care.
19-1401: Cash is King. Otherwise, ditto.
20-637: plea allocutions are not to be trusted, as those making them are under extreme duress... to the extent anything said is pointless.
21A240 & 21A241: Does not (in all fairness) a religious exemption apply to any and all who may wish to claim such an exemption?
120°+: Burn, baby. Burn.
Computer Code has always been precise; whereas even after thousands of years, no Legal Code has ever been. Perhaps, exactly because The Devil is in The Details. Though, whether this is true throughout history, I know not. But I'm disinclined to believe Primitive Humans where more honourable (in any meaningful way) than their modern counterparts.
DAD: That Project... I can't be bothered.
SORT: Green Notebook. Dad's. Out The Door.
Just follow The Swirling Ripple.
FEEL (walk): And when the anger lifted, I found myself alone, walking in a park on a sunny day, enjoying the breeze.
What are We going to do?
We (or just We): My new locus of control.
Friday The 13th: It Came! It Went! I am just now reporting... on nothing more than a date on the calendar.
Fingers Crossed!!!
RUNE: Doubling Down. Rolling The Dice. Wish Me Luck!
Yippie!
Yipperie-Do OK4U!/:-
But I am not ready to share all that, not yet.
I wonder if part of the attraction of Thrill Sports is Emotional Self-Medication. It's hard to be depressed when The Adrenaline is Rolling.
FEEL: Elated... but with some degree of Background Dread.
RUNE: O-Pal. I won The Dice Roll, so let's give them a break and switch them out.
WALK: Yesterday. As part of that whole Yippie (Dice Roll) Sequence, I scavenged a Ladder. It's feeling like A Very Lucky Ladder.
Gravestone: The Rat Race - 1989 to 2014
Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
The Fairie Lands
Could use A Pair Like Us
Yipperie-Do OK4U!/:- - Land Lease Office (aka Cottage Industries): Buys well loved properties and grants Reasonably Priced Life-Leases to suitable individuals who promise to live in a Honourable Manner w/ Artistry & Artisanalship at The Core.
The Good: Being · Saying · Doing
Nothing is Forever
That's how The Story goes...
Yeah, that's all I've got.
I've always been willing to switch course for a better destination... or really, any destination, at all.
Five! No more. No less. From Beginning To End.
Product of The Farie Lands
I: It's not <b><i>, just saying.
A Sleepy-Hollow Mansion of a Cottage : see The Fairie Lands, above.
We've entered The Montage Sequence.
HOUSE (name, typically... for now, anyway): The Helm. I'd italicize. But I have no desire to continue on in that vein.
HOUSE (previously): I should just change this to COTTAGE; so...
COTTAGE: Roots (main, The Museum, Observatory, or like), Treetops (second floor, Library), Cellar (garage Workshop, included).
HOUSE (and here, we flip back): The Helm resides in The Observatory (aka The Museum), where it affords a commanding view of The Street Front: i.e. The Front?
Frozen Lard (or Lard Composite) as Fish Bait?
Shade Plants: PawPaw. Plum. Pear (maybe). Currants. Elderberry. Got to be some kind of Apple. Gooseberry (or really, Any Berry). Mulberry.
COTTAGE: The Workshop (garage). The Lab (basement). The Wilds (side yard).
50/50: It's a deal.
The year was 2022; and while there was cause for optimism, there was also an overriding sense of dread... shared by almost everyone.
Yeah, I'd just as well not have that anxiety. But how do I let it go? I can feel it crawling around inside my gut.
RUNE: O-Pal in the pants. Three Dice in the shorts. "I lost that roll. Time to change my luck... but keep the magic alive."
I eat high enough on The Food Chain that my food comes in Glass rather than Plastic Containers. I would posit The Pinnacle is to eat as close to the ground as possible (i.e. No Containers, at all).
The Digging a Hole Compost Unpile System... now, with worms.
20-219: If I am emotionally traumatized from reading a slip, can I sue for damages?
20-219: "Legally Blind", I almost didn't see the irony.
20-303: Separate is not equal and nobody ever said it was. I mean, I despise the whole system of individually specialized boons and banes. But there it is. And it ain't going anywhere.
20-443: One-Hundred Questions! One-Hundred!
20-443: In the end, aren't we talking about hearsay?
20-601: I stopped caring the paragraph before Held.
20-659: Innocent Until Proven Guilty says it all.
RENT (final?): Sticking out from atop a roll of paper towels.
20-804: There is a difference between Freedom of Speech and Freedom from The Consequences of said Speech.
20-807: Guessing blind on this one-page split-decision, I'd wager it had to do with Employee Benefits for Railroad Workers.
20-826: The damage is obvious and substantial. Shackles & Restraints (as with any and all items of decoration, clothing, or dress) convey meaning. The simpler course would have been to simply give the defendant enough rope (aka leeway) to hang themselves... you know, assuming that is what they were going to do.
I have little sympathy for the needs of the government... when taken out of context from the needs of the individual or the people.
20-827: Only a few pages in, but I feel confident that the dissent is right.
20-827: And these are the people in charge...
20-828: I am not as concerned about surveillance (cameras, wire taps, etc.), as most people. Secrecy breeds Sin. And it really is as simple as that.
Universal Surveillance → Universal Awareness → Crime Detection in Real Time → Prevention overtakes Punishment
I like the idea of walking about barefoot. Let's start inside/indoors and take it from there.
20-915: Of more interest (to me, anyway) is the line between Copyrightable Pattern and Non-Copyrightable Pattern.
20-1029: Regulating how much is too much of a bad thing.
20-1143: Ideally, there would be no need for a court... any court. Failing that, I want The Court (and all those below it) to be The Final Arbiter of Right & Wrong / Good & Evil. And wherever or whenever that subject matter is unclear or unknown (thru lack of consensus, if nothing else), there is little need (no, scratch that, there is absolutely no need) for The Court to weigh in.
20-1472: Equitable Tolling for Everyone. In fact, if the words "Equitable Tolling" even seem like they might apply (i.e. barring a Syntax Error), they do (er, I mean should) apply.
20-1472: Is there any possibility (like, any at all) that a Unanimous Decision is an Interesting Decision?
The Class War will end when The Upper (Predatory) Classes realize The Peasant Life is The Better Life... obviously, I am not talking about access to Healthcare; but rather, commitment to An Honest Day's Work.
"She knew it would happen.
"She knew it would happen.
"She knew it would happen, too."
/(Go On. Guess?)
{as heard about the campfire, recently}
by Sweetie
20-1566: Which form of justice would you like? We got one where you win... and we got one where you lose.
XX-XXX: Is working out well for me, reading much less, giving the decisions the attention they deserve (i.e. almost none).
20-5279: Perhaps, total value (over time) is a better metric than number of occurrences.
21-5592: Choose Life!
21A244/21A247: I can, also, be Pro Choice, as well.
21A471: Unavoidable Evils are Systematic Evils.
I had thought to stop there. But I ain't got anything better to do, so it's on to the next month.
"At any one of our one convenient locations..."
I'll be pulling this (and switching over to June) a day early. It's the first time I've jumped the gun. But June is looking to be pretty busy... and today is not.
