My brother Randy called last night and we talked for about an hour. No property news, but there seems to be the start of some construction activity in the area, so we'll see.

Fingers crossed.

Bruce I am sorry I could respond to your question last night. Basically I could have said ditto to George's response.

As much as I am interested in hearing the voice of the audio version, I have never listened to more than a few minutes of an audio book.

Would love to sample it. I was being polite and letting others go first

since a different code had to be generated for each person (if I understood that right).

JohnG- And yet if it weren't for the MeToo movement, no one would have focused on how lenient the deal the prosecutors had originally made with him. There are some who likely thought they were scot-free, but the MeToo movement caused scrutiny. Charlie Rose is an example of this.

I agree.

Today is the DAY that my sister and I go to see the latest Tarentino epic.....in about five hours.

Lucas Hnath
Tracy Letts

Maybe I shall think of some more.....later.

I think DR ELMORE is right......somebody got to Epstein.....the usual suspects - who leave a trail of dead folks in their wake....are my choice for "getting it done".....

Mr. Epstein had been taken OFF suicide watch - how convenient. I'm not sure he would have actually ratted anyone out, more likely he would have pled the fifth or lied. But too many wealthy, well-known and well-connected folks had too much to lose for this thing to have been what it appears to be.

John G. · « **Reply #42 on:** August 10, 2019, 11:28:55 AM »

I wonder what has happened with Epstein's accomplice/confidant/procurer or whatever you want to call Ghislane Maxwell.

An interesting opinion piece on how what happened with Epstein is unfathomable given the standard operating practices of the the Bureau of Prisons.

Hello, everyone.

Taking a break. I have a lot to do today. I'd like the apartment to be clean prior to next week's surgery and the laundry done. I'll be laid up for a bit, but don't know how long. Today's laundry is now done.

I just heard that Jeffrey Epstein has killed himself. It's possible that the unsealing of evidence was the catalyst, but I also woud not be surprised to learn he was murdered by some of his former sex trafficking chums.

That was exactly my first impression, too.

Well, that was a nice nap. I fell asleep on my bed with the lights and my TV on (the sound was off, though), and just as I woke up and was about to turn off the TV, there was a breaking news report that Accused sex trafficker and wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein found dead by suicide in Manhattan jail.

What an unpleasant story to wake up to!

BK- Isn't "shivaree" what they gave Curly and Laurey after they got married. I forget whether it was before or after Curly shot Jud daid in cold blood (that's a spoiler for the current Broadway Oklahoma revival. )

FJL, have you seen the production? Does it work for you?

It’s a Saturday, and a refreshing one at that. We had the most beautiful day and evening yesterday, weather-wise, and the night was perfect for sleeping with no AC or even a fan running in the house. This morning almost has that first day of fall feeling, the temperature will top out at 77 or 78 today, and tonight will be another perfect one. Then it warms back up a little, which is fine, but there’s nothing like having a break from the heat and humidity.

That's what it's like here today, though I wouldn't call it fall-like yet.

Good. Any kind of activity in the area has to be a positive thing.

Yes, I think you're right.

Back to the cleaning.

Back from a light breakfast and another visit to Amoeba to kill time. I got a few more cheap CDs. One that I got the other day, a two-CD set for four bucks, is the treasure so far - a Russian composer named Fikret Amirov - fantastic, exotic stuff, very Arabian Nights-esque. A ballet, a symphony for strings, and a great tone poem.

BK -- just tried and got: Sorry, we can't process your request right now. Please try again later or contact Customer Care.

I'll try again later. Won't have time to listen to the whole book, but I look forward to hearing a sampling of her narration and of course the characters.
