So, Arrias stops by with a load of poems dispatched by his Muse. There is some agitation in the circle around the picnic table. The annual meeting of the Old Spooks organization is later, over at the Country Club our grandfather\u2019s generation built on the old farms in Arlington. So, the Production Meeting turned into people in an assortment of old business garb and worn Hawaiian shirts.<\/p>\n

So, more sea stories than \u201cmessaging memes\u201d popped up. The Chairman said \u201cTreat them kindly. Some have traveled far to be here. Free Coffee. Just capture the sense of things in motion in these days that lead to the last week that will determine what life will be like after what is going to happen in ten days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rocket laughed. \u201cThey are saying Maricopa County in Arizona will take a couple weeks to count, and Georgia says they are going to play music real loud for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

Splash put his tablet down next to Vic\u2019s Kindle. \u201cAir seems to have come out of the Joy in one of the campaigns. There are indications one side is starting to prepare either to accept that the people- most of them- would like things to settle down a bit and have a cease fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Gaza or Ukraine?\u201d asked Meat, since his team would have to figure out a means to market the commentary that would come out of the annual meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, the one against Biology. We agree that placing sanitary products in public rest-rooms is a generally good thing for those who need them. No fight about that. But the idea that diminutive people with problems holstering pistols might not be the best front line in an elite force assigned to protect the once most powerful person on earth as a demonstration of fairness and equity seems a little loony.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was some nodding around the circle, with some of the chairs backed up against the pale pink bricks of the building. The faces looked like this. You can see some of the problems:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(Some of these faces may be seen in lower East Arlington later today. None are reported to be cantankerous at this time and ACPD does not consider them a threat to public order. Caution isadvised, however according to department spokespeople).<\/p>\n

DeMille looked down the table which seemed to be considering if a Bloody Mary start at the picnic table mIght be the way to get oriented to the business of the day. Or at least, talk about it without breaking the keyboards, you know?<\/p>\n
