<div id="ygrps-yiv-1208080143"><div>yikes&nbsp;did i put you all to sleep again</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>well i did me too apparently</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>for i just realized the 86th anniversary of the ratification of prohibition will be coming on the 16th of january</div>
<div>&amp; not on the 18th or 19th as i&nbsp;had been&nbsp;imagining for some reason</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>so it is&nbsp;now suddenly only 4 days away</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&amp; i have promised to be in the lower keys for the 86ing ceremony itself</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>so i cant very well&nbsp;just lay around here in crystal river any longer &amp; wait to be blown down there just in time by the next cold front</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>which btw isnt looking so&nbsp;steep&nbsp;or so&nbsp;imminent&nbsp;after all&nbsp;anyway</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>so&nbsp;maybe i had better just&nbsp;split &amp; head down there now as soon as i post this</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&amp;&nbsp;</div>
<div>the 86ing itself may&nbsp;likewise not be quite so simple a matter as i had been thinking either</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>for&nbsp;this is not at all the same thing as 86ing the&nbsp;purported curse of the bambino in st louis</div>
<div>where it was indeed just done &amp; over with by virtue of a final putout at first base</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>but rather&nbsp;</div>
<div>86ing the folly of prohibition&nbsp;seems much more&nbsp;akin to&nbsp;my 86ing&nbsp;of&nbsp;the myth of great war at the caus peace arch in blaine douglas</div>
<div>in which case there remains considerable doubt as to whether the alleged demise of the fatuousness was real or only&nbsp;imaginary</div>
<div>since&nbsp;frankly my ceremony&nbsp;doesnt appear to have affected anything at all in the supposedly&nbsp;real world yet</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>so there is this question of whether 86ing dumb stuff&nbsp;in this way&nbsp;is actually effective at all</div>
<div>&amp; there is also the question of whether 86ing something notionally</div>
<div>even at the exactly correct moment</div>
<div>isnt&nbsp;rather actually&nbsp;countereffective</div>
<div>&amp; thus dumb in itself&nbsp;</div>
<div>in its&nbsp;opposing&nbsp;the thing 86ed&nbsp;in some way</div>
<div>just as any ordinary denial of anything would</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>yikes</div>
<div>for any&nbsp;sense of opposition whatsoever doesnt feel right for this at all</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>indeed it doesnt feel right for anything</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>for opposition is prohibition itself personified</div>
<div>yikes</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&amp; war itself personified too</div>
<div>yikes</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>so i think i will have to do this ceremony in a very low key indeed</div>
<div>hahahaha</div>
<div>if at all</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>for i am rethinking the wisdom of it entirely even as i report this &amp;&nbsp;head on down there</div><p>
