yikes did i put you all to sleep again
well i did me too apparently
for i just realized the 86th anniversary of the ratification of prohibition will be coming on the 16th of january
& not on the 18th or 19th as i had been imagining for some reason
so it is now suddenly only 4 days away
& i have promised to be in the lower keys for the 86ing ceremony itself
so i cant very well just lay around here in crystal river any longer & wait to be blown down there just in time by the next cold front
which btw isnt looking so steep or so imminent after all anyway
so maybe i had better just split & head down there now as soon as i post this
&
the 86ing itself may likewise not be quite so simple a matter as i had been thinking either
for this is not at all the same thing as 86ing the purported curse of the bambino in st louis
where it was indeed just done & over with by virtue of a final putout at first base
but rather
86ing the folly of prohibition seems much more akin to my 86ing of the myth of great war at the caus peace arch in blaine douglas
in which case there remains considerable doubt as to whether the alleged demise of the fatuousness was real or only imaginary
since frankly my ceremony doesnt appear to have affected anything at all in the supposedly real world yet
so there is this question of whether 86ing dumb stuff in this way is actually effective at all
& there is also the question of whether 86ing something notionally
even at the exactly correct moment
isnt rather actually countereffective
& thus dumb in itself
in its opposing the thing 86ed in some way
just as any ordinary denial of anything would
yikes
for any sense of opposition whatsoever doesnt feel right for this at all
indeed it doesnt feel right for anything
for opposition is prohibition itself personified
yikes
& war itself personified too
yikes
so i think i will have to do this ceremony in a very low key indeed
hahahaha
if at all
for i am rethinking the wisdom of it entirely even as i report this & head on down there
