I think the vampires already know much more than they have let on. From the blood changing of their own, Renato, to the startled reactions upon the events occurring in those critical moments in the Throne Room, when the vampires came to demand that they be allowed to study and examine Ray. These things seem more than coincidence and much more than suspicious. But then, I guess in the interest of their vampire scientific study, they came in combat gear to assault the shifter pilgrimage to ancient lands. They would have killed all except Ray to secure his capture; this included the Steward’s son and Protector, Gabriel, and a member of his Council, Brynjar. The vampires have acted in selfish interest multiple times. These things seem to say vampires are not to be trusted but rather like the old saying, keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. Can Renato keep the vampires honest? Only now have we seen where the Steward has taken Renato into his confidence, remaining alone with the vampire in the Throne Room. He asked of the dreams, to be reminded of the eclipse. Now he speaks of we when saying we must pool our knowledge ; maybe together we stand a chance. I don’t think he is talking alliance with the vampires, but rather Renato. However, an alliance could be on his mind upon that pooling of knowledge and options with Renato’s insights and influence on the Vampire Council. Also noteworthy, is the talk of the King’s power turning inwards, defensive and wild. Hmmm 🧐, all that power, endless it seemed, turned away from the witch that betrayed him and their own pact. Rather interesting, that Ray seems to have popped into this existence must like the King popping from existence to ash. As Ray gathered his defensive strength against mommy dearest, he rhetorical question of what do you know bitch also served her up to divulge the truth…was that strategic to let her gather her powers to boomerang this confession and drain her? This puts more commonality with the ancient King with similar Big Paws as observed on the pilgrimage.

Wow, a working vacation day for sure. From the library club meeting, reading and greeting, to then planning dinner; oh what the heck, let’s just sign all these books sitting over here …next to me! 😆 What a nice down to earth thing to do. Tourist may learn to expect this from their author’s town. 🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ The payback may be that the special table at the Chinese restaurant will be the only peaceful meal in the future.

Oh wow, these delusions or evil conjurings have opened a deeper darkness in Troy. Originally he made Seth happy, then with increasing time spent with or around Troy, Seth has gotten into a battle with internal conflict. This is not necessarily something other than the stark reality of Seth realizing he has feelings for Troy, deep gay feelings that are…GAY. Or, if we are to believe Troy has opened up a connection with demons, then they have haunted Seth’s nature being. I’m hoping Troy is just spouting off defensive rhetoric and the claims of Jeremy’s death is either untrue or totally coincidental. He is not the first wayward teen to burn black candles, chalk out glyphs, and/or chant words for conjuring in hopes of winning favors and quenching desires. My belief thus far has been that Troy’s conjurings and rituals were his own manifestations of hope borne of gay frustration and depression. But whether Troy was embracing this earlier and it’s just now revealed in full or if Troy is getting progressively more obsessed, ether way it’s unhealthy to him, his relationship, and obviously his social standing. Ironic that Troy’s desires are for a straight boy, that lives a lower lifestyle standard, is apparently messy, and …easily dismisses his missing underwear.

The romantic in me wants to agree but the reality is, I don’t know how to feel about Troy stalking Seth and scaring Hillary as the boogeyman outside her window; no doubt he was worried she might recognize him.

It’s not delusions…he is admittedly, the underwear bandit! 🤦‍♂️ For how long and how many times has he invaded the living spaces of Seth’s family. A risky business, this trespassing, day or night. Was Troy the one crawling like a spider over a sleeping Seth to whisper sweet nothings in his ear?

Now, now, that’s AI , they call it Artificial Intelligence. I call it bad programming and algorithms with a buzz word name; I refer to as an automated idiot.

Oh, I don’t know 🤔, a review of the congressional power wrangling against the executive branch’s constitutional control on foreign policies caused many problems. An unclear and incoherent government front caused the Iran hostage crisis. Despite the trial fiasco, Col Oliver North wasn’t acting for himself but for the country’s interests amidst congressional inaction by withholding funding for foreign policy. He was a fall guy but even that backfired as he was given immunity by congress in their efforts to grandstand, then Oliver North had his convictions overturned or set aside due to Congress tainting their own sought after trails; maybe Jeff can benefit from that training! 🤣

Fingers, toes, and… ahem, well, hoping for the best.

Between two kids getting the gay gene or the stupid gene, being gay is looking a whole lot smarter/better.

Better to belong to the Army than to…Bubba.

Oh, you know her too?

Nah, military school is kinda like juvi with a few family holiday sign outs…maybe.

Ya, but ain’t that just them store bought stuffs? Ain’t nobody ever complained about grandpa’s recipe.

Well, Laura and Caitlin are pissed, just not about the same things! 🤣 I’m not sure having Caitlin interview other suspects is wise. Actually, I can’t say I trust her to interview anyone, not as a matter of trust necessarily, but because she seems totally incapable of being objective. However, should she also turn out to be less than trustworthy I believe the boy detectives 🕵️‍♀️ will see that as the math doesn’t add up.

Yes, the hint of good news on the three phones doesn’t mean we don’t have a silent cliffhanger of bad news in the unknowns; geez, next chapter cliffy? 😣

Oh, I think Daniel still needs to talk to the police as these segmented organizations may have exposed (no pun intended) Hume to other participants and ring leaders that haven’t been identified yet; or that he can identify more positively than what they have so far. Removing doubts is key to a jury convicting all these people. Likewise, unidentified players may still try to remove any and all witnesses, including past kids that could identify them; this is no time to let the guards down…especially given that no arrest lists have been released as to who’s in custody yet.

Nice, and agreed. I feel the club meet and greet went extremely well for Tony and the passages chosen for his reads could not have been any more touching for this stage of the journey. Aaron stepping in at the very time to hear what he needed to hear but then leaving before the focus migrated towards him was so silently poetic; and healing ❤️‍🩹 too.

The size and quantity for packages of kids vary. You just never know which size may fall from the shelf, only that it should be of nature to pick it up and find it a safe place. There are so many of these so called professionals in all walks of life, that become so enamored in themselves as authorities, that they fail to realize it’s giving the people what they want, not what you want…them to have.

Stunned that Will asked and that Aidan was very supportive without hesitation. Good for him, as I know the previous events stressed them both and while the majority of blame is Will’s, neither is without some blame leading up to Will introduction to acrobatic action. So likewise, the doctor asked for a joint effort and joint commitment in keeping up with medications and diseases, and in the joint agreement to speak before leap; so follow-up with the doctor as this medication treatment and therapy is an evolving thing until comfortably proven and managed. Caitlin’s pregnancy could be contrived or the initial indications could be stress related; did she actually test positive or was there an assumption from symptoms, however… Planned Parenthood would not go forward with a treatment plan without testing. So IF Caitlin is actually getting treatment, then pregnancy should have been confirmed, but if Caitlin didn’t ever seek treatment and is carrying on with a ruse then perhaps that’s a good reason she doesn’t think Will should attend the next ultrasound. It was a little suspicious the way Caitlin previously asked about monetary support, as if looking with expectations of Will making a commitment that he has already said is too hard to make at this point. But the wording was not do you think you’ll also be able to help financially, nope, how able monetary help. So as this storyline continues I must admit I’m very suspicious of her whole story…from family to pregnancy. Likewise, could Joey have been freaking out under pressure from Cartland and possibly others that planned extortion that overwhelmed his simple mind? So personal denial, loss of his BFF, and depression from loss of control…yet, the depression sets up more depression and acting out. The lack of Joey’s cooperation in giving “support” could be a motive that easily becomes violent when the pregnancy and support is unreportedable when little baby Ruse is without presence.

But I saved this note, and I even rubbed and flattened it nicely after I folded it and stuffed in my pocket this morning; but see it’s laying down fairly well now. 🤦‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ How did he expect the detective to gleam information from just reading it… Nevertheless, the detective was dismissive and arrogant. We’re done with it kid, go home. 😳 Thank goodness Aidan is there to calm Will and give him focus. but after being dismissed at the police station Will actually focused and gave himself a break from the whole Joey was murdered situation. While the possibility of Joey being murdered is real, Will does not understand the process and logic of evidence gathering. He’s more likely to destroy more evidence than he collects at his current rate. Aidan is rightfully concerned about Caitlin’s relationship with Joey and now Will. While his questions were perhaps too forward for casual discussion and dinner, it was a great opportunity to challenge the blind faith embrace that she’s got from Will. Given that she formally told Will that she would accept, and be asking for, his help, I don’t believe it unrealistic to offer her support by going to the doctors visit; after all, the ultrasound is to verify a normal healthy pregnancy. Should there be concerns otherwise, Caitlin would likely want and need support upon learning of possible complications with her pregnancy or any health issues with the baby. If Caitlin speaks the truth, then support from her family is highly unlikely and risky to pursue as it could become hostile very quickly. I still think Joey’s mom would be a common sense courtesy to notify. However that doesn’t mean you have to abide by her wishes or demands should it get to a point of burdensome to include her in the process.

Forensics on a shotgun shell is a mixed bag, it might could return a fingerprint but that is less likely than it is likely. It doesn’t means you can’t try but it could contribute to some departments prioritizing to save money over identifying someone the prosecutor probably isn’t going to charge on that along. It’s hard to know the full extent of budgets, training, court priorities, etc. Likewise, while there is good and bad in all walks of life, given the millions of gun owners and the percentages to gun violence by lawful gun owners is rather small. Even given my situation as a gun owner where I was a victim, but it was not where I needed to pull my gun a blazing. Likewise I still believe firmly in the right to bear arms. The true preponderance of violence is from illegal possession, repeat offenders, that our judges and lawyers allow to continue avoiding punishment of any real consequences. Likewise, the media likes to sensationalize the mass shootings. The higher percentage of these situations have people known to be unfit to have access to firearms or shouldn’t even be free in society, yet the laws go overboard to protect the unfit at risk to the mainstream public. The Baker Act sets the bar higher so that family members can’t commit rich old Auntie and then live high. Yet the skill professionals that have been empowered to act, refuse to do so. When someone under treatment, with family members begging that action to commit be taken, subsequently kills people in a mass shooting, the gun gets the blame. Criminal Negligence is hardly ever pursued against these professionals that know there is a significant risk, but don’t act because they want to minimize the trauma to the unhealthy person still allowed in general population by these professionals own choice to treat in public. Any deaths are tragic, but like airline crashes that get lots of attention when they happen, airline travel remains the safest mode of transportation over any other mass transportation system. Mass shooting are tragic, but the perpetrators known to law enforcement and/or the medical profession to be a high risk needs to have the laws on the books utilized for mandatory detainment and evaluations before the public pays the price. This past two years has seen significant numbers mowed down by terrible acts of terror with vehicles yet it doesn’t get the attention or press that a gun gets…but the death counts says it should. Identifying these people with behavioral instabilities from observations and family members’ inputs is essential. The family members can’t have them committed directly but it should invoke state mandated reviews within hours of reports of risk…it’s law, otherwise it’s criminal negligence. Butcher knives, cars, and baseball bats don’t need to be outlawed and neither do the guns. More people will die from vehicle accidents this weekend than all the so called assault weapons deaths of the last several years. Perhaps cars do need to be outlawed? Weekend trauma clinics have a strong argument to outlaw standard kitchen knives commonly used for stabbings. Road rage crash statistics are definitely on the rise also, insurance companies are witnessing significant increases in crashes other than accidents.

Ok, feathers or lightning?

Mine was in the late 70s. But Police training and hiring hasn’t changed much.

Well Troy has some significant frustrations about his gay partner experience and expectations. He doesn’t have normal friendships, it seems more like a collective of misfits. As Troy says to his friend Kathy, you have to believe as it’s in the Bible, and so Try believes he can conjure and communicate with these demons. Hmmm, 🤔, is there a special white candle that gives me a high speed connection with god? I feel like my connection is either broken or misrouted, cause all I get is ..you got to believe! So on the converse side of these argument, Troy does certainly seem to believe. These conjurings and blood rights are not of a healthy and well balanced mind, and by no means good for a relationship. Though Seth has improved in his awareness and meaningfulness in life, this is bound to change if Troy keeps trying to force his will upon others. He is oblivious capable of making friends by putting forth effort. Stop bing so self serving and live free of your own conjured demons.
