My iPhone went quiet. Took it to at&t
No quick fix. So I went to Target and bought this wonderful plug-in speaker

We tried it out at the pool–

My thanks to Sal and Verrochio…

There is famous
And there is crazy
There is infamous
And obscure
There are Germans
And all the other people
With immaculate public transportation

And then there is the gaze of the Almighty
So often obscured by
The cardboard ads for beer
But unwavering in His vision
Of us
To the end of love.

I understand very well the difference between your position and mine; your cause and mine.  Now please allow me the dignity to disagree without maligning my character for wanting to protect children.  Let me reiterate:  I think children should be protected from x  from all people like x, who look at the objectification of children as a source of pleasure.

Heartbreaking.
