We reported on Sunday March 14th that Hugh Nguyen is challenging incumbent Tom Daly for the Clerk-Recorder seat. Mr. Nguyen is a manager in the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. He has selected the designation of Assistant Orange County Clerk. Unfortunately for Nguyen, he may not be able to use that ballot designation.

Primary Challenges for Orange County Democrats
by Chris Prevatt •
In the Fourth District Supervisor contest to fill the unexpired term of recently elected Assemblyman Chris Norby, we have a full field of six candidates, three Republicans, and three Democrats in this technically non-partisan contest. On the Democratic side we have Anaheim City Councilwoman Lorri Galloway, La Habra City Councilwoman Rose Espinoza, and Buena Park Mayor Art Brown. On the Republican side there is Fullerton City Councilman Shawn Nelson, Anaheim City Councilman Harry Sidhu, and Businessman Richard Faher.
Hugh Nguyen Confirms He's in the race for Clerk-Recorder
by Chris Prevatt •
In a letter yesterday Nguyen confirmed his intentions to run for Clerk-Recorder. In his letter he incorrectly claims "the spending at the Clerk-Recorder's office is massively over budget." What kind of "management" employee at the county would make such a statement, with no factual basis?
Daly drops 4th Supes Bid
by Chris Prevatt •
Orange County Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly announced today that he has decided to not run for the Fourth District Board of Supervisor's seat vacated by Chris Norby last month to take his seat in the State Assembly. The possible replacement of Norby by a democrat was placed into question when Anaheim City Council member Lorri Galloway and La Habra Council member Rose Espinoza announced their desire to run for the seat.

Leave Candidates' Families Alone
by Claudio Gallegos •
As people are aware, I am not the biggest fan of Lorri Galloway nor am I a fan of her stunt of carpetbagging into the 4th Supervisorial District in order to exact her grudge match with Tom Daly and Lou Correa. I think it was ridiculous to move to a "house" not zoned for residential.…
Galloway: Callous in Wonderland
by Chris Prevatt •
With Lorri Galloway having fully thrown her hat in the ring to run for Supervisor, I was digging through our files and found this little ditty from the Daily Show in June 2007. Â Galloway's primary Democratic opponent is Tom Daly. I couldn't pass up this bit of humor. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon…

Fungal vexation, you are invited to the Teahouse[edit]
Hi Fungal vexation! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia.

June 2014[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to List of programs broadcast by NBC, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Vjmlhds 16:26, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
Just wanted an explanation for the content removal. I see why you were removing now, but this could have been resolved much earlier if you just explained.Fungal vexation (talk) 16:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- I was trying to, but kept running into edit conflicts. Basically, NBC doesn't air any of those shows, and to me it kinda looked like vandalism (somebody trying to be a wise guy). I was wondering why they kept coming back. But hopefully now we're all good. Vjmlhds (talk) 16:31, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Starting local is a good idea. Writing about something you know will give you perspective. You still need to use and cite to WP:RS. Open you wikipage to permit e-mails. Or e-mail me. Note how I reformatted Butler, Maryland. I have no experience using the new visual ecditor, sok cna't advise you on that. I would say try it and see if it works. Stay in touch, and I'll try to help. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm 184.108.40.206. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Walschaerts valve gear, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

You think this is hilarious don't you? Fungal vexation (talk) 14:53, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- No, I think it's WP:POLICY that articles need to be sourced. Why are you acting against that? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 14:54, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on User talk:220.127.116.11. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 14:57, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
You're doing the same thing. Fungal vexation (talk) 14:59, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'm permitted to remove messages from my talk: page. You are not permitted to repeatedly re-add them. Do not do this again. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 15:01, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
That was accidental Fungal vexation (talk) 15:02, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Friendly reminder regarding talk page messages[edit]
Hello. I wanted to let you know that as per WP:TPV and WP:USER, editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages. While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors- from removing messages or warnings from their own talk pages. The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or shared IP header templates (for unregistered editors). However, it should be noted that these exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system. Thank you, — Kralizec! (talk) 16:02, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Best YouTube videos 2011
There were more than than 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) playbacks on YouTube in 2011, but what were the 10 videos that we, as a global audience, watched the most? What were the videos that just had to be shared?
YouTube has released the top 10 YouTube videos (excluding official music videos) that have had the most plays in 2011. The video site tallied the best videos of 2011 by looking at global view counts of popular videos uploaded throughout this year, and, in some instances, aggregating views across multiple versions of the same video to come up with the definitive list for 2011.
1. Rebecca Black - Friday (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
This is the one and only official version of Rebecca Black's "Friday" music video. With 12m downloads it is well behind the views count of others, but the unofficial uploads combine to make it a lot higher.
2. Ultimate Dog Tease
This video of a talking dog has had over 75m views since it was uploaded in May 2011. If you like it that much you can now even buy the t-shirt.
3. Jack Sparrow (feat. Michael Bolton)
Michael Bolton showing his love for Pirates of the Caribbean.
4. Talking Twin Babies - PART 2 - OFFICIAL VIDEO
Twin baby boys have a conversation. It will make no sense to you or us, but they seem to know exactly what is going on. We wonder how many of the 56m and counting viewers who've watched the video have an idea either.
5. Nyan Cat [original]
The strange wonders of Nyan Cat managed to entrance over 54m viewers in 2011. Can you watch 'till the end?
6. Look At Me Now - Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes (Cover by @KarminMusic)
A rather interesting take and cover on Look At Me Now by Chris Brown. Never did you imagine that a white girl could sing that long, that fast, without taking a breath, all in one take as well.
7. The Creep (feat. Nicki Minaj & John Waters)
Music video with a hallowe'en theme. It is also the only video in the Top 10 that doesn't allow sharing - Boo. That means its 45m views all had to be done on YouTube. We wonder what the number would have been if the makers had allowed the video to be embedded on other sites around the world.
8. Maria Aragon - Born This Way (Cover) by Lady Gaga
Young 11-year-old girl in Canada covers Lady Gaga song on YouTube. Gets 45m views and the story ends with her being invited by Lady Gaga to sing on stage at the singer's concert in Toronto. Happy story with a happy ending.
9. The Force: Volkswagen Commercial
This spot features a pint-sized Darth Vader who uses the Force when he discovers the all-new 2012 Passat in the driveway. Better still for VW it didn't even have to pay anyone for the extra free advertising.
10. Cat mom hugs baby kitten
Do you own some cats? Well next time they do anything cute, film it, upload the video to YouTube, and then hope you can get around 37m views of your cute video. That way we'll be featuring you in 2012.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 188 reviews
Lovely big hotel complex, friendly staff. The hotel is divided in two by a main road, but there is a man on duty what seemed like 24hrs to stop traffic to let you cross the road safely, to the beach and waterline restaurant and bar and the hotels 2nd pool! This is where we spent most of our time on the hammocks by the pool looking down onto the beach sipping cocktails from the bar! Food was good too! The beach infront of the hotel is quiet small and not ideal for swimming but 5 minutes walk to the beach the strip of sand becomes much thicker and softer and the water cleaner. Also at night it's a 15 to 20 minute walk by road to the get to the main centre of pubs and restaurants. But there are several little nice local restaurants next to the hotel, aswell as there restaurants. Also there is a 7 eleven supermarket just next door. We had a big room, really clean, pool and sea views and good wifi throughout the hotel! On the day of departure we checked out early before breakfast had started. The staff gave us a breakfast box to eat in the car on the way to the airport, which I thought was a really nice touch!
The service was excellent!
My stay was wonderful. Loved everything there and the room was great. I have nothing to complain about. :)
We booked 3 nights in may 2016. The welcome was very friendly with complimentary drinks and a cool towel. Rooms were cozy and clean. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, but not too many options to choose from. The hotel is divided between the main campus and a beach front (which is awesome), there is a busy road between them but it wasn't really a problem because a private traffic warden stopped cars when someone wants yo cross. Overall a nice stay for our first nights on Koh Samui, but probably wouldn't come back because it is a bit far to go anywhere without Taxi.
Very comfortable and clean. Only problem was that the beach was across a main street but well worth the walk. Super service.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Why we do it better.
Your company relies on you to put the best people in place
When it comes to hiring, we work hard to help you do just that – fill your team with "A" players. We follow the best practice in candidate sourcing. We work with you to increase your bench strength – to ensure your team (and your company) is strengthened with increased productivity, stability and energy.
Here's what we do differently:
We block pop-ups.
Unlike other recruitment agencies, we don't spread ourselves thin trying to be all things to all people. We specialize in finding marketing, communications and sales professionals. We invest our time in getting to know your market and finding leaders with the specializations you need.
We use multiple search engines.
We don't rely on formal pre-scripted references supplied by our candidates. To get the most complete picture of what someone is like, we seek out informal references from past co-workers, bosses or clients. We make sure the pretenders get smoked-out before we ever present them to you.
We don't date online.
We don't believe in wasting your valuable time. Two things you can count on from us: First, we take time to assess all candidates thoroughly. We want to ensure that we represent them correctly and only offer you candidates who "fit." Second, we don't immediately rush out flashy resumes. We find out who is relevant and who is available for what you have to offer.
Permanent Placement
The power of focus.
We can help you find specialists, professionals and/or leaders in the following arenas:
Client Services
Creative & Interactive
Sales & Sales Management
Non-Profit Sector Roles
Temp/Contract Placement
Let Us connect You With the Best Creative Talent.
Did you win the big pitch and realize you don't have creative talent to execute the award-winning campaign?
Or did your boss just sign off on a company rebrand and now you have to update every piece of marketing material by the end of the quarter?
Don't lose sleep, call us.

Does the price adjust today after close of market? The price should be around $39 when trading opens tomorrow, is this correct ?
Sentiment: Hold
Too much of a gap up to be explained by speculation. There must be some kind of news, but I can't find any.
EPD is up as well, but by a more reasonable amount.
As I see it, this is what my interpretation is:
CHS has folks who presently hold their equity Participation certificates - which are similar to bonds or secured debt - and CHS pays interest on it.
CHS wants to retire those certificates. perhaps they pay a high % rate, or perhaps they are maturing - don't know.
Instead of paying cash from their account, CHS is going to "exchange" the newly issued CHSCO shares for these certificates - hence the no cash proceeds. It is an exchange.
This is essentially an exchange - perhaps the % rate of CHSCO is lower than the certificates, perhaps not. Don't know. But it has to be attractive enough for the holders to be willing to exchange their certificates for CHSCO.
Main points - there is NO DILUTION - as would be the case with common shares. CHSCO is a Preferred, and the income stream is fixed.
The exchange will add additional CHSCO shareholders who are existing customers, they are likely going to be strong holders and not hedge funds or flippers who sell at the first whiff of trouble.
The exchange does not lower EPS or other numbers because CHSCO is NOT common stock and therefore is not measured by criteria such as EPS, P/E, PEG, etc.
The guys who are selling now are obviously not strong holders and do not understand the nature of this exchange. They are selling first and asking questions later. Probably bought early on when CHSCO was in the $26-$27 range, and now locking in profits. Well, good for them; they will now be replaced by stronger holders who understand that this exchange is not necessarily bad for the company.
If the PPS goes below $29, I will be adding to my already full position.
Sentiment: Buy
Record date for the next KMR stock dividend is April 29, which means that the "ex-dividend" date is April 25. Would it be correct to expect that the share price will adjust down by $1.30 on that day, just the same as if it were paying out a cash dividend?
I read recently somewhere that LINN & LNCO management was considering monthly dividends instead of quarterly dividends. This would be a nice development for me as it would be more frequent payments, though lesser amount.
Any update on this ?
I sold my entire position at about $58 last week out of disappointment. But I am wondering if I should buy back in, or if the falling knife has still a ways to go.
If it goes to the very low '50s, I will probably buy a very small position - the yield at that time should be attractive, even if a deal never materializes.
Around early February
Just about the worst possible time to announce this. But the market is not logical, and some may see this as a good buying opportunity.
I am being taken apart with my present cost basis well above $53, so this means I have to hunker down and sit it out for however long it takes to recover - which I think it will. But it could be a very long, long wait.
Sentiment: Hold
The wording of the news release appears to confirm that the present 6.6% senior notes - which is GEA - could be called using the proceeds of the new issue.
It is a reasonable and logical move for the company, after all, the new debt is about 160 basis points less than their obligation on the GEA notes. they will save a lot of money calling GEA.
Usually, there is a period of 30 days notice - about 13 cents of accrued interest. The most recent x-div date was 9/25, 8 days ago. So right now there is total 38 days accrued interest or about 18 cents. Each day they don't announce a call adds another 1/2 cent to the accrued interest.
If the price is above $25.19 tomorrow, you MIGHT want to sell depending on your guess as to when the call announcement will come. A bit of gambling guesswork here, I reckon.
Cannot find any news to explain the vicious drop for the past 2 weeks. Guess it's just folks taking profit after buying around $20.
Cramer press release this morning to sell KMI.
But looks like the Market is wise to his tricks, stock is up a few cents.
Maybe he's doing this so that in future he can try & claim he made a prescient sell call before the 58 million share release by the partners?
might be a buying opportunity.
Are the sellers of the stock selling their holdings, or is this some kind of "special allocation" by KMI?
If they are selling what they own from buying in the open market, then it's really a case of simple profit taking. The amount of authorized and issued shares would not increase.
If this is some kind of special shares issued by KMI, then we do have dilution.
I cannot find out much information to make that determination. If anyone has more details, appreciate your sharing it here.
The next event that may trigger a call will be the Tier 1 capital change.
However, this requirement kicks in only on Jan 1 next year, so it is unlikely that MS will call now as the issue is trading at a discount to par.
It would be far better to use other available funds to buy in the open market - plus if they buy there is no accrued interest to be paid out.
Then they could call the balance outstanding next year.
We should see no call until 2013, so enjoy the October dividend.
Ex Dividend date should be Friday, July 27. Dividend amount 35 cents / share.
The company has not yet called another of it's issues, PLS, which is a 7% coupon.
As long as this is not called, they will not call PLV.
I believe there will be lots of time to sell PLV as and when, or if, PLS is called.
Well, it's July 10, and no call for MSZ.
I do not see a need to sell at this price of $24.88. If there is a call, the price will immediately shoot up to just below par, or even above par because of the accrued interest.
The only risk is that of interest rates climbing, in which case MSZ will not be called, and may even go down. But in that event, I will hold and collect the 6.6% dividend. No real cause for concern, call or not.....
And most folks do not see the feds raising rates until at least 2013.
Let us hope they will also announce the dividend at that time.
Today COP announced its September dividend, I would expect PSX to be close behind.
I received the cash for the fractional shares in Vanguard. All is well.
Of course, all of us have lost many times the value of fractional shares in yesterdays and todays drops.
Let's hope the share price will stabilize soon - I am thinking about $64 for another small buy.
I, too, have heard "on the grapevine" that some of the major banks are calling in their highest yield TruPS.
Pretty sure that MS will participate in this, but MSZ is a lower yielding issue than some others, so we will likely see the issues of the high 6% and 7% being called first.
I think we have time left. And even if they are called, we will get about 30 days of notice - meaning accrued interest - plus a cap gain as most of us have bought it below par.
For me, I would not be too unhappy with a call.

Spreadsheet, a cute Python hack…
The Python Cookbook has a new entry which I thought was especially clever, and perhaps the only really good use of
eval that I've ever seen. It is a class which simulates a spreadsheet. It is clever because it uses a class which simulates a dictionary as an environment in which to evaluate expressions. Quite clever, and very short.

Old Flames: Fela!
If I had to name a handful of musicians who shook the world in the 20th century, Fela Anikulapo Kuti would be somewhere near the top of the list. This week, nine of Fela's early recordings are being reissued. I've spent the better part of a week listening and, damn, these are amazing records.
There's a little widget here so you can listen, read more and fall in love, too.
Fela Kuti's music was African at its heart, but it was also jazzy and trance-inducing. It also rocked. I saw Fela perform in the late '70s at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. I'll never forget it. The band was fierce, and they just played and played and danced and played. In fact, the unionized stage crew pulled the plug on the lights and on the PA system around the time the show was "supposed" to end, but these were musicians lost in time. Even when the big speakers in the hall were turned off, the guitar amps on stage still worked, the drums still pounded and Fela kept singing. We all rushed closer to the stage to listen and party. It sounded even better.

@MISC{Cousot07bi-inductivestructural, author = {Patrick Cousot and Radhia Cousot}, title = { Bi-inductive Structural Semantics (Extended Abstract)}, year = {2007}}
We propose a simple order-theoretic generalization of set-theoretic inductive definitions. This generalization covers inductive, co-inductive and bi-inductive definitions and is preserved by abstraction. This allows the structural operational semantics to describe simultaneously the finite/terminating and infinite/diverging behaviors of programs. This is illustrated on the structural bifinitary small/big-step trace/relational/operational semantics of the call-by-value λ-calculus.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
To Be a Pirate
I was too old to play kick-the-can anymore so I was just standing there watching when Jimmy T. came running in from behind our house. He kicked the can as hard as he could. It flew up toward me and the ragged part of the lid caught my left eye. It tore it halfway out of the socket. There was a lot of bleeding and crying and when it was all over at St. Joseph's Hospital I had lost my left eye forever.
The worst part was that I was going to our junior college in the fall so I could be a Kansas State Highway Patrolman like my dad. He was the best state trooper in Kansas and from the time I could talk and think I wanted to be one like him. He had talked to me over and over about what it meant to be a man of the law on the roads and highways of Kansas. I played with his badge and wore one of his old dark-blue uniform hats in the shape of a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman's and put handcuffs on my sister and my friends a lot.
My favorite main dream was the Trooper Dream. I could close my eyes anywhere anytime and bring it up across my mind like a biology slide at school. Usually I was chasing somebody in my trooper car at full Code 3 with the siren blasting and red light flashing. Sometimes there would be an armed gang to apprehend single-handedly. Or an escaped convict with a hostage, a bank robber who really wanted to go straight, a beautiful girl who had lost her way to find the sick father she had not seen since she was a little girl. Occasionally I was wounded but never more than a flesh wound and it always ended happily and heroically for me, the Trooper.
My sister Meg was there at the hospital with Dad right after they brought me in. She cried. She always cried when things went wrong. Dad told me almost right away I couldn't be a state trooper anymore. "It takes two eyes to do that, son," is the way he put it when I asked him. He was tall and handsome and had a deep voice like he was talking into a water glass. "It takes two eyes to do that, son."
I didn't even know how to dream about being anything else.
Until my glass eye came I wore a black leather patch over the empty left eye socket. Everybody said it made me look like a pirate, but I figured I just looked like a sixteen-and-a-half-year-old guy without a left eye.
The first thing I thought about doing after I got out of St. Joseph's Hospital was to find Jimmy T. and kill him. I'd get the same tin can and take that lid and maybe slit his throat or cut an ear off, if nothing else. The problem with that was, he came to see me at the hospital and he cried and said he was sorry and wished he could give me his left eye to replace mine.
The second thing I thought about was killing myself. Not with the tin can but maybe by lying down in front of the 1:22 Santa Fe doodle bug, our only passenger train. I thought about it so much it caused bad dreams. Once I was lying on the tracks naked and the doodle bug came down the track but, lo and behold, head cheerleader and Miss Posture Perfect Lisa Andrews was the engineer. Instead of running over me she just laughed at me and my various bodily parts. I got up and ran before the train got there but I couldn't get away. It kept coming and she kept laughing until I woke up.
The worst dream was when the train ran over me like it was supposed to but it cut off only my head. My body from the neck down ran off but my head stayed there next to the track, saying, "All aboard for Wichita! All aboard for Wichita!" Both of the dreams pretty well did away with my desire to kill myself.
So I went on to junior college and decided to make The Thunderbird my life's work. The Thunderbird was Thunderbird Motor Coaches, the wonderful bus company that went through town. I needed two eyes to be a bus driver but I figured one was fine for working as a ticket agent at the bus depot. One of my dad's best friends was a Thunderbird driver and Dad took me to coffee with him a lot at the depot cafe. I liked the people there and the smell and the sound of the buses. I would also get a pass so I could go free anywhere Thunderbird went anytime I wanted to.
The only problem, it turned out, was Thunderbird. They wouldn't hire me. Junior Dillard was the depot manager. He never looked at me and said, "You've only got one eye, so please go away." I'm sure that was it, though. I had spent the two years in junior college hanging around the bus depot at night and on weekends and Junior Dillard knew it. He knew the night agent, a nice man named Molina, had taught me how to read schedules and make out baggage checks and tickets. Making out a ticket is not as easy as it sounds. You have to do a coupon for each change of bus, and going from here to Baltimore, Maryland, say, means six separate coupons. The first one to Wichita and then another to Kansas City and one each from there to St. Louis, to Indianapolis, Indiana, to Washington, D.C., and finally, to Baltimore. Knowing the best route is one of the many jobs of the ticket agent.
Junior Dillard. What kind of name was Junior Dillard for a Thunderbird bus depot manager to have, anyhow?
I felt like I used to feel when I was playing ball. Our high school was Carrie Nation Memorial High School in honor of the no-drinking lady who went around Kansas busting up saloons with a hatchet. Our nickname was The Hatchets. The Carrie Nation Hatchets. The coach said go up there to the plate and hit it out of here like Stan the Man Musial. I'd go up there and swing as hard as I could but it hardly ever went out of here. I was fine in the field - second base, mostly - but when the pitcher curved me I swung and I usually missed.
I felt like somebody was curving my life.
That's when I decided to be a pirate. I knew very little about pirates. Only that there were good ones and bad ones. The bad kind stuck knives in their mouths and boarded helpless ships and hurt helpless people. The good kind were those in an operalike thing called The Pirates of Penzance the junior college chorus put on once. The pirates sang and laughed and acted more like Robin Hoods than real pirates. Those were my kind. I would not hurt anyone.
It was a crazy thing to think about in the year 1949. But I could not think of anything else right then.
The most important thing was that one eye was all I would need and I could even put the black patch back on. I hated the glass eye. They didn't get the shade of brown right so it was lighter than the brown in my real right one. Also, it didn't move like the real right one. It was like having a dead marble up there for everybody to stare at.
* * *
There was no way to be a pirate in Kansas. There were a couple or so lakes around and the Arkansas River was there but they just wouldn't work. I went to the library and looked at the Rand McNally Road Atlas and decided the best place that was closest would be down at the end of Texas. They had an ocean down there called the Gulf of Mexico that would be fine. The librarian said there had definitely been pirates in a place called Galveston.
"What did the pirates do there?" I asked.
"Mostly killed people and stole things that didn't belong to them," she said.
"Didn't they kill only evil people and give what they stole to the poor?"
"Only in the movies," she said.
What did she know?
First I had to get some money for the trip to Texas and a little extra to live on while I got started as a pirate. I checked the train because I wasn't about to give any of my money to Junior Dillard. I could catch the 1:22 Santa Fe doodle bug to Newton, change to the Texas Chief streamliner and go right on down to Galveston. The fare was $15.75.
So I took a job with the county road department for forty-six dollars a week. A deputy sheriff who was a friend of Dad's made sure I got it. I didn't have to pay to sleep or eat at home so I figured I should have enough saved up in seven months to head out. Seven months from then would take it to April.
April Fool, Galveston, Texas! Here I come in seven months! I hated the road job at first. They put me in a blacktop crew. Every morning at 6:45 four of us and a truck with a tank of hot asphalt went out and sprayed county roads. That stuff got into my hair and nose and ears and every evening I came home looking like I'd been swimming in a Arkansas River of tar. I even had to take out the glass eye every night and scrub it down in the bathroom sink with Lux.
After six weeks of that I was switched to a mowing crew and that was much better, because driving a tractor with a mower on it or even out there tossing a hand sickle at the thick and tall weeds wasn't as awful and messy as that black stuff.
My mother would have been happy for me and my clothes if she had been around then. She died when I was twelve years old. She woke up one morning with a terrible pain in her stomach and the doctor came and looked at her. He said it was probably just bad indigestion or an ulcer at worst. But it did not get better, and four days later her fever shot up and Dad picked her up in his arms and took her to the hospital in his state police car, Code 3, with the red light flashing and the siren wailing. They said her fever was almost to 107 by the next morning and she died just before lunch. She had a burst appendix and Dad said that if the doctor had called it right the first day and taken her to the hospital she would not have died. I don't think he ever said anything to the doctor about it, though. I would have. Meg, my sister, who is two years older than me, cried for eight straight days after Momma died. It was a scary, awful cry that sounded more like a dog or a coyote than an older sister.
I cried the first night and the afternoon after the funeral at the Methodist church and again six weeks later when I woke up in the morning with a sore throat and realized Momma wouldn't be there to look down it, give me some hot saltwater to gargle, and call the school and tell them I wasn't coming today.
My momma loved me very much and I would do anything to keep that love. She and Dad met when she was working as a clerk in Justice of the Peace Wilbert's office in Emporia and Dad was a new young trooper. Dad said he knew from the first moment he saw her that she was going to be able to twist him in knots and untie him and twist him again and again and again forevermore. Forevermore just didn't turn out to be very long. For me either.
It's hard not to wonder if I would have turned out differently if she had not died when I was twelve. And what if Junior Dillard had hired me at The Thunderbird? What if I hadn't gone out to watch them play kick- the-can?
Questions like that can drive you crazy.

High on Burning Photographs #10 / $3 / 2 oz
Ocean's zines own my damn heart. And this one is extra special because it's so much longer than previous issues! She crams in so much — tales from the cities & punk houses she lived in throughout the years, of making it through dangerous & threatening situations, the process of how she self-published her book, & on & on. Much of the writing is centered on being queer and feeling like (& being read as) sometimes a boy / sometimes a girl, & how this affects the way both strangers & lovers interact with her. I recently said of Ocean's zines "They slay every time" & it's true. Get this.
In Our Hands #1 / $2 / 2 oz
The subtitle of this one is "Using a Community Accountability Approach to Address Sexual Violence, Abuse, & Oppression." Compiled by a community accountability group in Pittsburgh of the same name, this zine documents the basic practices the group has taken in its formation: the language they use when discussing accountability & sexual violence, a thorough process map that guides readers through a community accountability process, and other helpful information on how to help survivors heal. This is a fantastic resource for folks looking to start an accountability process in their community, or even for those who are looking to simply support a friend who is in need of love during a time of healing.
It's Alright: A Truckface Anthology (Volume One) / $15 / 13+ oz
The first of two Truckface anthologies, this thick book (360 pages!) contains issues 7 – 11 of LB's long-running & exceptional zine. From the back cover: "From scooping chicken salads to selling dirty clothes to shelving books to teacher training, It's Alright: A Truckface Anthology details years of embarrassment and missteps. This volume contains stories of rowdy backyard brawls, awful customer service, awkward social interactions, underpants dance parties, staying angry and learning how to try." Truckface is the best zine out there, and we're fortunate to have another chance to dig through its earlier, out-of-print issues. Read this & feel alive. Highly recommended.
(Because this book weighs a ton, please email me if you're outside of the USA & interested in buying this so that I can determine your shipping cost!)
It's Alright: A Truckface Anthology (Volume Two) / $17 / 13+ oz
The second volume of the Truckface anthologies is even more massive than the first — 448 pages! From the back cover: "Through strikes, standardized testing, violence, bouffant wigs, school closings and drawings of wieners, It's Alright: A Truckface Anthology documents the life of one Chicago public high school teacher. Simultaneously hopeful and hopeless, volume two contains issues 12-16 of the long running zine." LB's stories are sometimes agonizing, sometimes hopeful, but always moving. I want to force this book into the hands of everyone I know (truly — even my mom bought one). Highly recommended.
