Ahem…that’s definitely not how socialism works. In North Korea I could fairly well tell you how well connected people were by their weights along. Trim but healthy…military, a little extra weight but as muscular…family members and government bureaucrats, developing the belly bulge…upper bureaucrats and close family, etc. China was much the same but the starvation didn’t show in the bigger cities. Whats theirs is theirs, what should be yours…is theirs too. Make no mistakes, socialism doesn’t reward the people any more than absolutely necessary; or you a national treasure (will be seen performing by foreigners…) then back to work or no commodities.

OMG, running and cartwheels, while singing…Princess Bride??

Unfortunately he can’t let Jack know about Luke without pointing a finger at himself. 😢 his friends are great but I do think he needs an outside option/friend;and not to use Kit, but the coincidence that it will make Luke so jealous is a bonus.

Ahhh now, Bernie was just warming up for hell!

So very true and yet these young men have no protections to be stationed together at all. Likewise, when Kent gets his degree he is edible to apply for officer training and an actual engineer position; even if denied or not selected one can separate and then apply for officer candidacy and have a better chance at being accepted. All this brings big changes that could strain a partnership that would not have been recognized by the Marines.

Sorting out his mind would be great but to also be able to positively identify his attackers as the attempted murders they are would better extremely satisfying. Having been held a gun point at my part time college job, I felt great satisfaction that my perpetrators were finally arrested and convicted for those crimes. Ironically, I had refused to let the regular cops into the store after the hold up. I demanded the forensic team leader be the only person allowed inside until I briefed him on all the finger print locations; I didn’t want any contamination or destruction of that evidence. That actually turned out to be key to putting them there and I also finally found their mugshots in the many binders of mugshots at the police station. I spent lots of time searching but I did finally final them. Yes, this was before desktop computers and the internet, so binders and line ups where alive and well.

As the small man, a rather petite fellow, is stands, answering police questions about his self defense against his attacker; as a big, unconscious and bloodied man on a gurney is loaded into the ambulance. I’m not just an alley cat…I’m a Tom-cat!

It’s a bit more than chill, they both see and feel the love but yet they dismiss it as just being closer friends; hmmm, how many friends do they treat like that, or make them feel that way, eh?

I don’t know about a knee slapper but do as you may…permission granted.

Damn auto-text crap…was supposed to be AI..

Hank may educate them both as he demands payment. 🤣

And now AI has you forever…Pegged or Plugged in your profile and needs.

Oh good, musical 🎶 toots and shrill singing 🎵 with that booty dance.

Attack came to Two-Spirits Ranch, Taunting an Appalachian stance. Worst for wear a young man, Kidd, His poor bottom assaulted they did. Propane tank shot, exploded in flame, River hiding, too scared he’s to blame. The real perpetrator, to escape, did run, Then tripped to land in a pile of dung. Jo keeps horses brushed, fed fresh hay, Butt processed here means fecal decay. Scrapes, cuts, bruises, exposed in struggle, With perps infections, puke or crap the juggle. Shayna and family too boastful of intents, Their troubles already rather immense. The family of Two-Spirits Ranch are true, They cherish more than coffee they brew. Shayna, and mountain family be forewarned, This is much more than your mother’s scorn. Rejoice as your wish will soon come true, For those you’ve harmed, they come for you. Your words, your actions, speak not but hate, You lied with the devil, you now have a date.
