Before clarified, I was going to say that these parties present with Abernathy had to have shown skills and knowledge integral to his operation; his trusted agents, as the Colonel barked this is a closed meeting. Indeed colonel it is hereby declared closed.

Now, now, no slang; let’s stick to proper titles and department names…especially for the Ass Commissioner - Undercover Operations.

Wow, you’re making me flashblack to the Japanese ties to the southern parts or coastal areas of the southeast US. The area was covered at one point with groves imported from that Satsuma area (Kagoshima) of Japan. These mikon or Japanese oranges named for the areas for which they originated, generated town names in both Florida and Alabama as well. They grow abundantly in my back yard area on property in Alabama…I love those juicy fruit straight from the trees. With the first freeze having just hit the area, these fruit are at their best with the rebound temps back in the 80s. These are hearty trees and fruit that serviced the great freezes of the 1890s and again in 1980s. Having Japanese Mikon and Persimmons ironically take me back to my many years living in Japan. A very fond memory of growing up and of time in a unique part of Japan.

Hmmm 🤔, Pack Hounds, Hounds Pack? My mind can’t get past this verb notion, perhaps Pack of Hounds Fans?

I’d question the use of “a little” as the description for what’s happening here.

The trigger for nuclear has been cocked whether it gets released now are later is kinda a pending moot point; there’s no unfucking button.

I think @Topher Lydonhad a block and decided to use a sledgehammer to unclog it; damn.

What’s have you done?

Ahhh, but that draft you feel makes a whistle that a few others can hear and look for that source.

Is this kinda asking whether we should ignore that pesky little voice of self consciousness that guides us? Hmmm, Lee Wilson unplugged?

How in the world you put out the volume of stories, at the level of suspense and action amongst supporting drama, is a wonder to me. You definitely have a very hyper muse poking you to achieve your volumes. I can hardly keep up with just being an enthusiastic reader.

it is often currency of diplomacy, where money often muddies the waters or implies a sellout, and information or favors are very hard to track. There is, in what many western nations have granted as history of and for the people has demanded….Free Speech. People will be able to pull truth from chaff with any real independent thought; not the 3 sec sound bites or streaming headlines. As for the news media…hardly any news is true anymore, therefore it’s not even news but more activism for social or political agendas. Unbiased, deep investigative reporting has all but disappeared or is ignored in lieu of the narrative being driven. It’s either unverified and rushed to sell their narrative, or it’s verified by an unnamed source…which often leads back to desired messaging leaks, as seem with Abernathy. Then there’s “their own trusted sources,” or “affiliated expert” which are often network or management connected activist; much like we saw in this story as depicted in the character of Caleb Henderson. Nearly every doctor visit these days they ask if you have feelings of depression or self harm. God I hate these questions of government overreach, that gets integrated into your medical records. My review of records has uncovered implied issues that were not stated in my questions…huh, patient denies alcohol use, very familiar with alcohol abuse. What does that mean? My injuries and medications don’t allow for use of mixing alcohol with medications. Either way, when asked about those depression or self harm questions… my reply is no, I don’t watch news any more.

I understand the fictional aspect of this story but you’re overlapping real political events within not only the story but now comments; which is a GA restriction. This is why authors should not put real people and politics in their theoretical fiction, because they can’t separate their political views from story and real life; it makes the otherwise enjoyable and exciting fictional story a tap dance of real world activism.

Is that Joel and Roy?

Colt be like: Yeah. You can’t unsee that now can ya? Yup, I’m gay. The guys look so much more sexy and desirable.

That’s like talking to yourself too… hmmm 🤔, maybe that’s the therapy I need to make these voices quiet.🤐

Oh god, now you have me envisioning or perhaps more like wondering, how a two gay men, one deaf and one blind might look as they convey their sexual interest in one another, their desires, and their readiest to take that next step…all without being accused of sexual assault by some prude being nosy of their activities.

No, put the undies away, big clean and clear deep breaths.

Mother Nature. 🤣

Well, school is a major detractor, so that does skew the data a bit.

My brilliant boyfriend would have probably turned it towards the mirror, that gave the profile view of the entire bedroom. 🤦‍♂️ It’s hard to think straight with blood pressure loss.

Yup, every red blooded boy is thinking pure and innocent thoughts…20%of the time, so you’re very much correct.

They ain’t gonna smoke them nasty cigarettes!

Puns, puns, puns, insinuating that more personal and possibly intimate…riding with proper techniques.
