b1-66er: just made a hard psychological decision. I had "cold hard cash" tix for tomorrow night, GOOD Johnny Cash tribute at the house of blues ...
and I'm trading them off for preservation hall jazz band at Brooklyn bowl...
THESE are the deep and difficult quandaries my life entails.
the instigator: How do you sleep at night?
b1: soundly.
and I dream of beautiful women having close conversations with each other in my lap. at least that's what it was this morning.
b1-67er: <pic attached>
latest bonsai project. was over 10 feet tall.
b1-66er: I don't know how to break this to you ... horticulture is not mechanical engineering.
b1-66er: good article. I'm dreading HC as our next prez ... which I'm fairly certain is going to happen.
entropy dave: I'm not happy about it either. I think she is fundamentally not oriented toward honesty; and she doesn't stand for anything but herself.
b1-66er: I get on the terminal shuttle at DIA, and what's the VERY FIRST THING I hear over the PA? fredrico pena welcoming me to Denver ... ¡ño!
my old roommate Tom's glad he's dead.
b1-67er: really? Fedrico Pena?
6: seriously. and the announcement was truly putrid .... hello, this is fredrico pena (saying only the christian name in that super-cool spanish accented way, but the rest with heavy american accent), I was the mayor of Denver and it was my idea to build this awesome airport 40 years ago. I'm awesome. the airport's awesome. I won't mention that it was done without voter approval, and the baggage system is in rusting mothballs beneath your feet.
WELCOME TO DENVER!
oh, and did i mention I'm awesome?
7: what is, after all, a two billion $ overrun in the scope of a $2 billion dollar project? apparently credentials to be secretary of transportation.
6: and it so much more awesome-r than that crappy stapleton blocking traffic in the middle of the city. what? are we gonna use the border territory of the Rocky mountain arsenal for SOMETHING ELSE? (and they have awesome trout out here, by the way. we use a modern ecological approach with them: bathe in toxin, no catch, never worry about release.)
b1-66er: TSA @LAS. two black guys, blinged out ... but in T-shirts. carrying SIGNIFICANT amounts of cash. that's at least $50K in bricks.
the techno mercenary: Rad. I often travel with a $10k bundle of freshly printed $100 bills, just in case shit goes sideways. I also travel with a battle rifle, a half dozen loaded 30 round mags and a couple of pistols and their magazines. But I never do any of that while black! I wonder what those guys deal is? Did they get bu sted? Because unless they are traveling internationally there is zero reason for them to even be compelled to disclose unless it's $10K or greater.
b1: pure guess, but the fight wad last weekend. probably fight/gambling related. they clearly thought it was funny to have the bricks out.
I think, but don't know, that they passed bags through the belt and had to pull the bundles out.
they didn't seem bad ass -more like characters in a B rap video- but they certainly seemed "bad enough." they weren't 'concerned' that they had to flash it.
TM: Oh yeah I totally spaced out the big fight was last weekend... Duh! Yeah they were high rollin
The Actore: Bad news by the way, my freeloader...er, sorry, daughter has "very important, mandatory" rehearsals for her chamber orchestra the entire friggin' weekend of Aspiration Day. I'm so bummed! I thought for sure we'd be able to come but now the only way it would work is if I left a 12 year-old girl by herself for a weekend, with my credit card so she could uber herself to rehearsals unsupervised as she shares a ride with drivers known to be subjected to only the most rigorous,...sorry, lackadaisical of background checks....and I'm half thinking of doing it!
b1-66er: that's certainly what I'd do. it's how I got to where I am today!
TA: Hahaha!!
b1: just like everything in life, it's nothing that can't be solved with a reduced credit line and a taser.
