In this scene, the gang members observe a white guy in their neighborhood.
BOMBER 1

BOMBER 2
Somebody in the wroooong part of
town.
When the white guy gets closer, the gangsters get really angry:
BOMBER 1
You deaf? This here's our turf and
you not welcome. Vamoose, greaseball.
BOMBER 2
Yeah, keep messin' with us, and you'll

If the guy doesn’t leave, they'll attack him.
BOMBER 1
OK, now you done it, muthafucka.
BOMBER 2

In this scene, the gang members witness someone trying to break into their car.
BOMBER 2

not only did I just sit through a Brak episode that wasn't this one,
I found it funny.
yikes.
Vivien Thomas
Of particular interest because he was born near part of my ancestral geography.
(peculiar for me that where he was born was so remote as to be referred to as "near" LP)
There is a movie based around some of his work, Something the Lord Made.
I find at least a hair overwrought in tone, though not oppressive by any means.

Came back to a brand spanking new Indian joint down the street directly across from that are two Sri Lankan joints.
A few months ago a new pizza joint opened (finally).
And our Rey opened back up after the sale of the place fell through...
If you continue about a mile down the street there's Caribbean and several reps from Latin America.

I returned with a bag of ice.
I found my nephew in the kitchen meditating in lotus position. I've no idea where he picked it up, but he kept it for a while.
I had to get in him for raising his voice to my mother, but I love that dude (as previously stated).
I've not felt this much contempt for my father since... I don't know -
since when I first left after college.
I plan to be out of this house as much as possible before returning to the-CitY-I work-iN.

Doing away with money,
The term capitalism, in the U.S., is often used to reference what is called a "free" economic market.
(despite how much government control is exacted over said "free" market)
Capitalism as a philosophy, however, could be viewed as detrimental in the possibility that it encourages efforts toward personal gain at nearly any cost...
If one were of the type to view such-a-thing as negative, one might have a certain degree of impact on a capitalistic society by ridding the focus of it - money (assuming that cap. soc. is money-based).
Money itself as a means of trade has it's own inefficiencies. In the US economy, it is currently devalued given that it's backing is market based now, rather than commodity based. One must remember that money itself has not it's face value...it represents value.
Well, one hopes it does anyway.
Those philosophical non-capitalists might assert that, had maximizing gain not been so important, U.S. banks might have kept their investments out of the markets and we'd have a more stable US dollar now.
An optimal system probably would be some combination of barter/cash. Barter, so I argue, would encourage more localized exchange.
Taking guns away from people won't stop killing....
But tying a polished rock to a club takes time.
Maybe they ass'll think about it first.
I Love My Nephew
It's like looking at Voltron.
He's taking over my mother's job as the household conduit - the person through him people communicate with each other. Or, more specifically, the kids communicate with father and father the kids. He is indomitable in his notion that he should actually try to prove points to the brick, rubber coated, glass-encased wall that is my father.
He goes out of his way to do everything for all of us.
And he does all this despite all the reasons he has to be bitter
Biological not involved
Bouncing around from home to home
Early health problems
How much time we didn't spend with him...planted in front of a TV.
I worry that, being a pleaser, he'll get taken advantage of...
But he get's in trouble for fighting at school. I choose to take that as a sign of standing-up-for-self.
He's growing...I have confidence that he will be what the subsequent generation is always supposed to be: greater than the sum of its parts.
He my dude. I don't believe in pride. Blessing is the only concept that comes close.
Let him be a beacon, God. Let him emit light.
(inshallah)
I spent at least 3 Days of the past week
And I think much of that has to do with guilt over not taking over his business from him.
The sell is complete, the name has been changed on the sign. Retirement is official now. When he goes into the office now (1 day a week), he works for the boss. The first time he's had one in around 3 decades.
There is a significant part of me that feels it is wrong that he worked so hard to build that up for us, but neither of us wanted it.
Although my mom wanted it, and he didn't want to sell to her...and it was my idea to present the option of going in with her. Much like my 1 shot at permanent monogamy, that chance was given up by not speaking up soon enough.
So, anyway, I was pissed at him. May still be now. Pissed I think, because, just there was guilt of letting that pass to someone else, the feeling of him being disappointed in me was more (than) less verbally confirmed.
So. There's that.
No Ms. Denmark,

To be clear:

new helmet
mountain shoes (jammed toes cramp my style)
seriously considering clipless pedals
eventually need some new pads
and tires
mostly lots and lots of seat time
I don't think I found all the trails there, but there were more than I thought I'd find at first. Technically there are no open biking trails there until mid-July, but the rangers there seem to let people ride anyway.
It's nice to have the Schwinn back to it's original fat, nobby tired purpose. The over 20 year old Selle Royale
work well combined with the Thudbuster (which was getting tested in its true element for the first time in the 3 years I've had it. It would have worked even better had I not had it tilted to far down (one day I'm going to suck it up and carry tools with me everywhere I go).
Every non-casual rider should have at least three bikes.
One dedicated to dirt
One dedicated to fast
One dedicated to commuting/casual trundling (<- the one that you install that electric drive on to help with the hills and the extra weight from shopping/backpack/briefcase/gym bag/whatnot).

From a conversation last night
it's not that they don't value you, it's that they take advantage of your value"
if it were a movie, it would probably go:
it's not that the don't value you. They value you a lot. Their just taking advantage of your high value"
.... perhaps "abusing" instead of "taking advantage of"
if it were Samuel L. Jackson it'd go:
it's not that the m***********s don't value yo a$. They value yo a$. They just be taking advantage of the sh!t. Oh, your a$$ has high-a$$ value.
Well. some people would think it would sound like that. People like Quentin Tarantino.

do I still count as a or c?

A series about a modern theater company - it's remarkably apt.
Now we need to something that focuses on the hole-in-the-wall, exist only when one can scrounge $20 to produce a reading theater companies that make up the vast majority those in existence.
At least that's the case in this particular purview.

First-Person Perspective
Tow Truck
Parking tickets are generally more than traffic tickets. They're cities' %@$5ed up way of raising revenue.
No, that's not right - it's $#%%^ing capitalistic venture. Plain and simple. If you really want me to serve penance for breaking a law, have me serve the city, Parking tickets, like speeding tickets, are about paying mayors and e'body below them. Make no mistake.
