In an instant

She knew

Every answer

To every question

Why was she given

This burden

What was she to tell

The world

What is the point

Of life

If we know

Everything

Luckily

Molly has short term

Memory loss

And so it was

The burden was lifted

Ten minutes later

 

The End....or shall we say

The Beginning, again!

Police patrol - No 4. of a documentary series published by L'Itinéraire, a street magazine sold by people who have a rough life. I have the priviledge to coach some writers and to take pictures to support their articles.

They say the world has become too complex for simple answers.

 

They are wrong.

Answer tomorrow. Watch this space. (Well, actually, three or four photos to the left.)

The adjourning of the Great Congress of Lenfald brought with it almost as many questions as it did answers. For Abner, it also brought new orders.

 

Gottfried, Abner's commander, strode over as the delegates began to rise and file out of the chamber.

 

"Abner," he said, looking directly into his subordinate's face. "Do you know why I chose you to accompany me to such an important occurrence?"

 

Abner stood and addressed his captain. "I know not, sir."

 

"It is because I feel you are trustworthy and that you possess great patience," continued Captain Gottfried. "Am I incorrect in my judgments?"

 

"Nay, sir, I am worthy of your trust and I am a patient man," replied Abner, somewhat confused.

 

Captain Gottfried's mouth turned up in a rare mischievous smile. "Good, because we have been given the task of escorting his lordship the Grand Duke Meyrick back to Ainesford!"

 

Abner shook his head in disbelief. "That is just not fair, sir," he replied.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The small company departed Stonewald the following morning on horseback; Grand Duke Meyrick and his aide, Captain Gottfried, Abner, and a small detachment of rangers from the capital.

 

The journey was uneventful, and the riders came in view of the Ainesford gates in a few days' time. The city itself, however, was another matter.

 

Smoke billowed from an old warehouse just inside the perimeter wall and the shouts of men working frantically to douse the flames could be heard even outside the city. Rioters charged through the streets, hurling torches and brandishing various farm implements menacingly. Soldiers stood guard in front of key buildings, clashing occasionally with particularly bold citizens.

 

Grand Duke Meyrick motioned for the rangers to follow and trotted his horse ahead, leading the party towards the city center. A cry came up from a woman in the street, "Aye, look 'ere! Tis the duke, returnin' to take 'way all our 'ard-earn'd money!"

 

People began to shout and run after the horsemen, who now galloped towards a large building only a few hundred yards ahead. Abner recognized it as the city hall of Ainesford - an old, worn, but still beautiful building originally constructed as a symbol of the city's economic prosperity. It was surrounded by soldiers, a handful of whom rushed forward to greet their lord and take away the horses.

 

The group dismounted hastily and the captain of the guard ushered them inside, shutting the heavy oaken doors firmly behind them.

 

"This is madness," said Gottfried, pointing back towards the chaos. "Utter madness."

 

The din of the mob could still be heard clearly outside.

 

"It will subside," replied Sorley Meyrick cooly, taking a seat at the long table in the center of the hall.

 

"That's your answer?!" cried Gottfried, seating himself across from the duke and his aide, "Ignore the problem and wait for it to solve itself?"

 

The grand duke glared at the ranger captain. "Don't question me, Captain. Remember that you are a guest in my city and that I was a ranger once as well. I know how hot-headed you types are."

 

Gottfried rose angrily, knocking over his chair and slamming his sword on the table. "YOU have no power but that which the people grant to you!" he yelled. "And by the sound of it," he said, cupping his hand to his ear dramatically (the rioters could be heard just outside the hall), "they don't seem very supportive right now."

 

Now the duke rose, and his aide with him. "How DARE you!" screamed Meyrick, "How dare you question a Grand Duke- a lord- a, a, a NOBLEMAN! I will not have this kind of disrespect. I will have your head! You will pay for this- hang for this! You lily-livered, toad-licking-"

 

"ENOUGH!"

 

The room fell utterly silent and everyone turned in shock to the man who had just shouted. Abner stepped forward from the shadows into the light of the chandelier.

 

"What did you just say to me, boy?" growled the duke.

 

"I said 'enough'," replied Abner calmly. "Now I believe my commander was about to propose a resolution to this issue that you seem incapable of handling on your own." He inclined his head to Gottfried. "Pardon the interruption, sir. Please continue."

 

Captain Gottfried shook his head, placed his hands on his hips, and let out a hearty laugh. He looked back up at the duke and said, "Now when is the last time you met someone who could make me chuckle?"

 

Grand Duke Meyrick took a moment to recover, then a thin smile spread across his face as well. "Your man doesn't disappoint in the least, Gottfried. Bring him to the table, let's see what kind of ideas this young man has for solving our rioting problem."

 

Abner, utterly confused, walked slowly up to the table and took his chair as the other men sat.

 

"Our apologies for the deception, friend, but we had to know you were willing to risk your own self in these difficult times before we trusted your counsel," said the duke. "Gottfried here has spoken most highly of you- he says you are very wise."

 

Abner, still completely lost, stammered, "You gentlemen... know each other?"

 

Grand Duke Meyrick and Captain Gottfried looked at each other for a moment, then broke out into another fit of laughter.

 

"I'm telling you!" said Gottfried between laughs, "This fellow is hilarious!"

 

Seeing the bewildered expression still plastered across Abner's face, Grand Duke Meyrick said, "Abner, this is my brother-Gottfried Meyrick."

She grew up with answers, provided with good intentions, but which she found faulty as she acquired to ability to contemplate them thoroughly for herself... She she left, determined to find her own path, her own choices, her own answers. What she was told was right, she ended up discarded. She was happy now with what was left. What she found on her own and made her own...

I answered the phone with a groggy, “Pron… to.”

 

“Pol, it is Tatuanna.”

 

Glancing at the LED display on my bedside table: 3:44… and that is a.m.! In point of fact, she didn’t have to actually tell me who she was, because I instantly recognized the voice. My heart always skips a beat when she pronounces my name with that sultry Russian accent. “Uh, ya… what can I do for…”

 

“Pol,” her mood was anxious and inspired, “Kat and I have this great idea for the new album cover, may we come over?”

 

I push myself upright and swing to the side of the bed. “Uh, what? Now?” I transfer the phone over to my other hand and fumble around for my glasses on the table. “Tat, you are aware what ti…”

 

“Pollllll,” she lets it linger breathlessly on her lips. I could mentally picture her puckering and casting demure eyes towards the receiver, “pretty pleasssssse.”

 

Did I mention about my heart skipping a beat?

  

Anyway, after an hour or four, it started to get a little frustrating as I just couldn’t get the studio lighting right for what the girls had in mind. Grasping at straws and exasperated, I said, “Look, just stand over here by the window.” The morning light was now beaming in. They had brought a demo of the studio album that they had just finished recording and so I stuck it into the player and put on the opening track, Chrysalis. “Okay, let us see how this works, shall we.”

 

It nailed it. They were thrilled. I finally got back to bed.

Ever had a tea bag with a tag that vanishes into the mug when you add water? I really ought to patent this solution, which is to park the mug on the tag before beginning to pour.

 

The next step in the process, a few minutes later, is to hold the mug over the bin when removing the bag, to avoid drips. It was my wife who came up with that idea.

 

Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are welcoming new members of the TBA Club.

For all of us who couldn't solve it.

Nothing too fancy, just some photo editing and some fun typography. And you gotta have some circles to communicate sound waves, I mean, you got to.

As we were watching a large bull and his harem grazing on the ridge, we could hear another bull bugling an approach from the valley floor. When the newcomer reached the edge of the brush and stepped into the field the lead bull suddenly broke rank and moved to intercept him. There was a great deal of posturing and flared nostrils but it never came to blows. The interloper finally opted for a circuitous path around the herd.

This was taken on what was the most perfect winter day I've ever seen. The sun was shining bright and the air had a certain freshness to it that I really enjoyed all day. It was so lovely, it was like an answered prayer. At the end of the day, I spotted some urban nature and was intrigued by that and the light on the buildings by it. So I got my camera out for one last picture that day. Almost three years later, I wonder if it's still there.

“Give up Will? The answer to my riddle...is a star!”

———————————————————

S.T.A.R. Laboratories

 

It’s 6 o’clock

 

I heard of a robbery that occurred last week; The robber left behind a question mark. Nygma.

 

He and I had contacts within S.T.A.R. during the gang war with Joker. Turns out that contact was Eobard Thawne. It helps to have the Reverse Flash on your side sometimes. It can get you a keycard for the security gate so that you can examine the crime scene. Discover what a certain Riddler had taken.

 

I entered the labs at 6:05. The keycard worked perfectly. Of course, I also needed a disguise. A pity that a security guard will spend today in a closet.

 

I made my way to the computer mainframe, where the robbery had taken place. If I could find what Nygma had taken I can deduce where he is.

———————————————————

Nygma gave me that answer after a short fight that left the both of us bloodied and bruised.

 

Nygma is a man of logic, it’s only logical to play both sides. You can’t lose that way.

 

I had pondered the idea of S.T.A.R. Labs being a trap, but I believe Nygma merely wanted two kings to meet.

A Northern Crested Caracara takes flight from a cell tower in San Antonio, Texas. Shortly after, two more followed it traveling due east toward the sun. I didn’t see them again for several days until recently they reappeared one or two at a time. There is a large nest in the tower. I don’t know if it’s theirs.

This is the virgin digital advert with the extra inch or two "glued" on the left. I've commented this picture to list all 74 bands. 311 and D12 are a bit tenuous. Will have to wait for Virgin to release the results to see how close I was.

When herring swim the mountain lake

when their feathers sink like stars

when blackbirds fish the salt-sea wave

and the rabbit picks at the buzzard’s heard

 

when seals come walking up from the bay

and nightfall begins with the morning dew

when the daffodils open on Christmas day and you see

a crow as white as a dove

I will return to you, my love, I will return to you.

It's a sign on a train platform. It is to alert people not to get closer to approaching or passing train to avoid possible injury or accident, especially designed to notice visually impaired people when using white cane. In Japan we find this kind of sign not only on train platform but also here and there in town to help their wayfinding.

 

The identical buildings on either side of the Chameli Farsh serve not merely to balance the prevailing bilateral symmetry, but as a guesthouse (pictured here) along the eastern edge and a mosque (opposite pictured) along the western edge. Both buildings feature a tripartite design, bolstered with octagonal corner turrets in front, topped by four corner chhatris, and surmounted with three domes of a similar style to those of the mausoleum. The predominantly sandstone façades are embellished with marble inlays of pietra dura for the spandrels, as well as dado outlines along the base and calligraphic inlays for the border of the Mosque’s iwan, while that of the guesthouse are of a floral design. The placement of the mosque on the west wide of the platform allows for a mihrab (a niche facing Mecca in the wall of a mosque) behind the central arcade. The floors of the mosque are inlaid with the outlines of 569 prayer rugs of black marble. Conversely, the interior of the guesthouse is simply one large nave with geometric floor designs.

 

With the mosque serving as the site to which the faithful were called to prayer, it is fitting that the guesthouse has been called the Jawab, meaning “answer.” The title reflects its status as an auxiliary building mirrored for the sake of compositional balance, though ultimately still useful as quarters for visiting dignitaries of the time.
