I remember that address.  

I guess like maybe the thing to do would be to let the people who want to get invovlved in this memorial just get themselves together in each locality, seperately and independently from  other localities and if it turns out that we have more than one locality that wants to participate, which I personally think would be fuckin' great, then we could coordinate the timing from there.  You know, like DOC could get his clan together and some survivors or maybe even just sympathetic civillians who knew the deceased or the imprisoned could write their memorial words and bring pictures and such, and we could get our clan together and do likewise, the Dallas kids or the Cincy kids, if they wanted or whatever could get their clans together and then we could hammer out the date.  I am starting to see more potential here than I did.  I think we need to have a real clear idea of what it is we want to achieve.  Perhaps a discussion about that is in order.

This is gonna take some thought and some coordination and some real effort.

I think we should be careful how we word ourselves to the public.  Words are powerful.  

I would love to see multiple memorials happening simultaneously.  Cincy, You have an opportunity to really put the heat on KHK, cause you already have Eve Muellers' attention.  I have her card right here. She was the reporter who Covered our KHK protest at the Ohio state house several months ago.    

I will be thinkin' on this...

...memorial service.

...We need to gather people who are willing to work.  Such as a person in each locality who will gather writers of memorial words and collect copies of those words by a certain deadline, at least a month before the event so we can all read the words and make sure that we have worded ourselves well and appropriately to the occaision.  And we may need someone or several people in the different places to deal with and generate media interest somehow and get permission to use the sites.  So we need a few good folks who have some energy to give.  We need people who can represent.

Dig.

Fuck.  I know so many people who are gone from us now.  Steve, Glenn Steepleton, Lisa Ducebella, Tracy Anderson, Jim Brown, Matt Hunter, Dale Neville, Greg Northrup.  I heard that Harry T@ylor was in a bad motorcycle accident that left him brain-damaged pretty bad.  He came in the same day as me and belonged to the serial cop-out corp.

Hey is that you ??  Temperer of my strength ??

Me? I'm thinking lately about the fallen and walking wounded who have been scathed by the broader, less obvious manifestations of the Program.

I'm talking about a kid who was like a son to me who came to me in times of need and in times of celebration. But I dropped the ball, didn't pay enough attention at a time when he was out of other resources. Now he's gone.

And I vow to never, ever make the same mistake again.

If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities.

I went to 5515 Backlick & spoke with both the Sales Mgr & Branch Mgr (Ferguson has many locations across the country).  Anywho - they both said that it would be fine for us to have a memorial/vigil/whatever to remember those we've lost and those of us still surviving.  The only thing they were worried about was that we do it when their business is closed, which I don't think will be an issue since they close at 5pm M-F & 3pm on Sat.  

I have to say it was rather strange walking into that place.  While the showroom (front office/lobby) looks totally different, I was still able to see the way that it use to be; where the front desk was, where the runner use to sit, where the 2 conference rooms use to be, the hallway into the carpet room.  I know in my mind that the smell has changed, but I could still catch whiffs of the way it use to smell.  They didn't want to let me walk behind the showroom (I wanted to see the hallway to the intake rooms, or where the messine? (sp?) use to be; morbid curiosity I guess).  I guess it would have been a liability or something.  

 It was strange pulling into the parking lot; the wall for the carpet room now has windows.  There is a driveway to the back of the building next to the loading dock where the pond use to be.  I could barely see the back parking lot from all the trees in the way.  It looks like it's now a grass covered field, though I couldn't really be sure.  Hardees is now a McD's.  The Shell is still next door, and the other gas station is still across the street.  I don't know why I thought that perhaps it would have changed more.  Perhaps wishful thinking.  

I can't remember the last time my heart was pounding so hard.  I think it was probably the 1st time I drove on a race track wondering if I was going to have the time of my life or die.

Do you recall the name of the restaurant that was (is?) in the shopping center located on the other side of the bridge that goes over the railroad tracks?

That was a cool recount of your visit to the ol' facility.  It also answered my question as to whether Hardees was still accross the street.
