...one dream into another, the first, forgotten. The Second, I am in a cave, a sort of underground secret lair filled with retro electronic equipment, tubes, etc, there are desks, behind one a fat man in a suit is telling me that he can't work out this puzzle in front of me on a desk....
...it's a game of sorts above a retro gaming console I guess, there are 5 pieces, the one in the center is in position, the others, shaped like crystals of Titanite, are lying loosely around it. I play with the pieces, they snap into place, form a line, magnets beneath the console hold them...
...then, from a secret door behind the desk, a metal porticullis opens and a woman comes out in medieval armour, she's here to kill me...quickly I grab a sword and run it through her, at which point she grabs her chest and begins to scream, light from her mouth, she's pregnant now and I can see her full belly, i realize it was a trap, the end of the game, the Titanite crystals unlocked the final chapter in this virtual world, the fat man in a suit behind me didn't want to risk solving, and before the portcullis closes I throw both her and him down and watch them descending into the passageways beneath...I'm feeling bad about killing her, but it wasn't my game...

(An aborted sleep at a rest-stop after an aborted trip with the daughter...)
I'm in traffic, collecting money stuck to cars, my car, there's a local radio station giving it away, it's stuck to their bumper, there's a traffic jam, a pile of Canadian dollars, stuck to their car (my car?), I peel it off, take for myself, there's another pile and I take it off and give it away...
They don't like this, the local radio station, but never-mind and there's more stuck to their bumper and I peel it off and take it for myself, give some away...
(Rest Stop. A scant 1 hour of sleep, the daughter doesn't like it. can't sleep without the drone of the car and the breeze through the window, scarcely has it begun than she wakes me to leave, 31 hour drive on 1 hour sleep...)

OK. Going away for a few weeks, summer vacation, scheduled for two weeks but landing hard again at work, so the blog will suffer. I'm not packing a computer along so it's unlikely to be updated. The frothing and invective will begin again upon my return, hopefully ornamented with some pretty pictures.

OK. Discovered this. He's Edgy. I mean by that too edgy for American media, but he seems to have a following in the UK. Which is fair, we've given the UK free reign to criticize the US. Think John Oliver. I like him, but really, if America is so fucked up, why are you here? Are things that much better where you came from? Care to tell us about it? Don't worry, I know...I know...
