Our wings are not tired.

Or, at least, their first girl.

This Leo Frank documentary has narration by someone with a horrible fake southern accent. This would be so much better if they'd get rid of the theatrics and just tell the story.

t edit: OK, the trial reenactment does actually show something more interesting than just telling it would. But the reenactment of the investigation was just weird.

Damn, I just had to transfer money from savings. Despite the austerity budget, there are the 2 crowns, so had to move it. Hopefully that will be it for a while. At least until I get my tax return.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have half an avocado. I'm trying to decide what to make for dinner with it.

Smash it on toast. Sprinkle of salt, if you like. Slivered basil on top if you have it.

Mmmm.

Really did not need to see a reenactment of the lynching.

Now tagless for your comfort.

First and only. Older parents. Lots of issues but nice enough folks. I just wish they weren't so stressed about everything.

I don't think I need a "Dog Inside" sign. Any rescuer entering the house will notice the dog biting his ankle.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oooh, fascinating tidbit:

Who knows the origin of the word Yakuza (for Japanese gangsters)?

Answer: Eight. Nine. Three. In the Japanese card game known as hana-fuda, it’s the worst hand you can get. Eight, nine, and three — ya, ku, and sa. Japanese organized crime families adopted the name “yakuza” because of this hand. Because you need to be lucky to be a yakuza. Because you’ve drawn the worst hand if you cross them. Because winning with a ya-ku-sa hand requires the utmost skill at reading an opponent. Others may claim it’s because it’s bad luck that leads to a life of crime, or because yakuza are born losers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was just off setting them up, Perkins! Handsets are charging right now. Thank you!
