I try to read every post, even the slides.

Those slides were generated from someone’s fertile mind after ‘cypherin’ some Q. A past experience or training was triggered and then posted to flesh it out. Akin to “I have to write this out to understand why it suddenly came to me.”

Sometimes its all just free association. Other times (and specifically for me) it triggers someone else’s past experiences and training. Does it ever come back around to the Q-genesis? Maybe but it does give some structure for us to glom onto in times of what seems disappointment or chaos. Plus we get to probe the minds of some very smart people with vast personal experiences.

We may yet see whether our little excursion into the mechanics and efficiency of OWL brakes provides some revelation. Future proves the past. Archive everything offline; we may need it in 2024?

Interesting tidbit that ties into the story about Catholic priests in PA. Just now on Rush (guest host) a woman called from Bee County, Texas claiming that a priest brutally raped her 13 year old daughter. Priest is cousin to Sissy Farenthold, step-grandmother to the infamous Blake Farenthold, R representative who was forced to resign his seat for accusations of sexual assault, I think. The mom said no one believed her and partly because of who the priest was and his family. Sissy was twice candidate for governor and a Dem VP candidate in 1972. First trial was mistrial. He was finally convicted and sentenced to 60 years. The 13 yr old wasn’t his only victim. I thought the connection to Blake was interesting. Maybe this is an extension of all the dirt that could bring down members of both parties?
