When a ship passes in the night, and the only indication that it was ever there, is the shimmering in the reflections of its wake, you are witness to one of the greatest losses in your life - the emptiness is infinitesimal. And once again, you’re alone, until another ship.

Here’s the new resident here, John Ray, in prison for 38 years, enjoying his first FREE WORLD breakfast. He couldn’t take his eyes off me working at the stove, and couldn’t stop talking about it. I’m happy for him. He will soon be a credit to society.

I’m OK. 🙂 badly torn muscles in my neck and back. But, I’m ALIVE. And that’s what counts. The intersection where it happened is VERY tricky. I was rear-ended and spun all the way around twice, knocked me out, I came to ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. But I’m ok. Just hurting.

Friends, I’m in a dire situation right now. About an hour and a half ago, one of my favorite furry friends, Clio the Magnificent, was bitten by a rattlesnake. She badly wounded it, but the snake got a good part of her lip. Please send vibes and wishes for my baby to be alright.

UPDATE ON CLIO !
Spent a bit of time with her this morning. She’s better!
And she said to tell everybody that’s pulling for her, “WOOF !”
Translated from DawgSpeak, that means, “Thank you! My Dad loves me, and I’m gonna’ make it!”

Having spent 46 years in the swampy heat of Angola prison, I can say that over the last 25 years, it has gotten MUCH worse.
It is a DEFINITE need, not “coddling criminals”, as the GOP likes to claim. Many heat-related deaths in prison are reported as “natural causes”. They lie.
Thousands of jails and prisons across the country lack air-conditioning.
The horrific heat leads to suffering, violence, and medical maladies.
We believe that the $ billions in clean energy investments unlocked by the GGRF could bring AC to prisons.

Clio is feeling MUCH better. I think we might have turned a corner. She followed me around for a bit, and then she ATE for the first time since Friday! (I fooled her and mixed some meds in it!)

So, here’s an update on Clio. She survived through the night. We had her so meds’ed up, she probably didn’t know what was happening. A while ago she came to me when I was taking a break, and put her head on my leg and was whimpering, for about 10 minutes. I wanted to cry…

When I was in prison, they used to try to block books on the Inter-library loan program. The librarian said f**k them, and she would get it anyway. I was a voracious reader. Sometimes a book a day. She knew that. I would die in that hill. Librarians are the best!
