Which Reminds Me

Yes, notwithstanding all due regards to the "Indiana Jones and the Tomb Raiders of the Lost Ark," even so, I feel that I should not be conversing with dead people. It would seem weird for me to want to socialize with those dead people in their stinky tombs. Leissez faire, perhaps a lazy fair, but safer to NOT go there.  

Which Reminds Me

Yes, why did I spend so much time studying music theory during college? Two years with Professor Elliott, and what do I remember now? As we were saying, sometimes perfectly legal music is not really that interesting. Usually the actual human would insert some interesting twists and turns along the way to finesse the matter. I am reminded of this point whenever delving into my Suno account, so fun, where sometimes I imagine I can see Professor Elliott cringing whenever the AI music generator crashes through some odd-sounding chord progressions, but anyway, it is not too jarring if only used for background noise.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I am always surprised to learn of some people that I am thought to be supposedly allied with, of whose existence I would be barely aware, much less have any strong opinion about, if it were not for you pointing out to me these unknown points. But they did make some odd arrangements behind my back that I was not particularly happy about, but whatever. You cannot necessarily pick and choose who was in your high school. It gets complicated. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I hope that I do not have to verbalize or put into actual words my desire to avoid any personal  involvement in the intestinal dogfights of the Bush family. They sent their family thug to beat my brains out for some mysterious and unknown reason. President who? That was before I knew anything about that, before the campaigns that I mostly avoided anyway, as if i should care about that. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I do think that somewhere in our photo collection, is a picture of the iguana that was caught scampering inside the roof above my bedroom, when I was about 11 years old. They had to hire people to come and catch it and carry it away. It was quite a large iguana. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, it might have been interesting to ask that Bolivian guy what he might have known about the Tommy Anderson family, but then again I am reminded that he was so stupid that, yes, why bother. After a hundred years of things being thrown around, I really do not need those people for anything. There is nothing to be gained by arguing about points long forgotten, and much damage to be done. People have to move on from where they are, not from how things might have been. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember hearing the story of how my grandfather lost his money during the Great Depression, because the bank collapsed and the money disappeared or something to that effect. Thus, I do not quite understand your excessive optimism on the topic of banks and bankers. Those fly-by-night operators are there one day and gone the next, so who can really trust banks and what bankers might say about anything? There might be good banks also, but how I would know which was which? That is all old news, not anything to bank on.
