Ever the Walnut...

Hey, Paule... it was a dang fine piece... otherwise it would have been ignored... think you held up a mirror at angle most don't view themselves from... kind of funny. What the heck, you guys like to eat the meat and there's only one way to get it... I adore eating meat (save the cracks) and am grateful to the folks who do the processing.

killing is not antiseptic...

learned that during my month on homicide grand jury in Manhattan... every afternoon... five days a week... for four weeks straight... I was nauseated. We got to see pictures as well as hear stories... as secretary... I got to take notes... very enlightening.

there were light moments though... one of the murders happened in front of a Mexican restaurant a block away from me... good food... one of the witnesses who walked in was a well-groomed, casually but impeccably dressed black man... who looked incredibly familiar... turns out he was one of the local "beggars" who made his living from his wheelchair... was probably making far more money than I was in those days... he gave his testimony and at the end the A.D.A asked him what he did after he saw the shooting... he said...

"I hauled ass out of there."

A.D.A.
"Excuse me?"

"I picked up my wheelchair and ran."

A BLOODY MIRACLE! Cured!

Dang I digress...

Write away Paule... I enjoy reading you.
