TEXOKIE, My old bones had a tough time getting down under the Steinway. Now that I’ve listened to your tale of AI, lawyers, an unsolved mystery murder, almost getting back into hellywood, patents, too uncomfortably near eau de fart de cabbage, human tissue, aviation, nearness of Caymans & Haiti (pshaw, no exact reference needed, FreeQs is smart on elementary school geography); I think I need one of the guys to help me off this floor. Cushions and beanbags are comfy but I’m all stove up! Can I get you a cup of tea or coffee and a slice of pie to rejuvenate you from that report? (After 2 or 3 guys haul my cracklin’ bones into upright position?)
Oh, and TEXOKIE, that was another fabulous dig. It had a good story in it to boot what with the murder. And since it’s off on a Caribbean Isle it makes it a pirate story. Pirate stories are good. Pirates, not so much. Well, maybe a few under the guise of our Revolutionary War tactics and such but that’s a different breed than real pirate.

WOW!! thanks for the enormously kind words, Wneighbor!.... and I guess the story DID have all those elements.... what a great summary you just did! I hadn’t thought of “Pirates,”.... but these people ARE “pirates” in the worst way. I’m wondering if perhaps some of the contemporary pirates might have signed on to the good guys, as you point out some did during the Revolutionary. Something to watch out for, right?
We hear of the Pirates of yore being described as “blood thirsty” - but I think that description was meant to describe the unbridled killing they indulged in. But I guess it is possible that the ones who first used that description may have known something more about it than is thought. HOWEVER: Today’s pirates ARE known to be actually, literally, thirsty for blood.
*Texokie watches as some of the Qlock FReeQs gently help Wneighbor out of the bean bag, just under the Steinweigh, where she could hear texokie hold forth reporting on her dig. Texokie shivers as she thinks of not only the cold of the dark hole, but of the coldness of heart of the people we are learning we are up against.*
OH yes, please, Wneighbor, a fresh cuppa Qovfefe would suit me just fine! And we have PIE??? Thanks! I’d like just a little sliver!
