Title: Closure, more-or-less!

Closure:  for my own sake and maybe yours I am
ending my adventures on Harley.  I have spent plenty
of time personating someone in biker-land, dealing

per.son.ate \'p*rs- *n-.a_-t\ vb : IMPERSONATE,
REPRESENT.

with an internecine group of possessed, frustrated,
amoral, and sociopathic characters.

in.ter.nec.ine \.int-*r-'nes-.e_-n, -'ne_--.si_-n\ adj
  1: DEADLY; esp : mutually destructive
  2: of, relating to, or involving conflict within a group

I have not yet found myself or my former consciousness.
I will continue to use Harley as my appurtenance to
divigate and maybe one day, remember.

There are rumors that there was
a very large explosion at the TJ jail but there's no word
on how many survivors there were.  I hope Sis and Claire
survived, in fact there's no question in my mind  that  they
did. I wish them both well even though I suspect that one
or both were involved with the explosion of my car...
Wassail to them both!

Oh yes, Donna, the green-eyed security cop, who I
abandoned in TJ.:  She took off from TJ and returned to the
Center.  She sold her bike -- actually traded it for a horse
and is now deeply involved in manege.  She was heard to render
to me the curse, "May he forever remain unconscious and
never remember!"

ma.nege \ma-'nezh\ n : the art of horsemanship or of training
horses.

I am selling Bikers, La Punta, Owl Buffet, and what's
left of the Lazy Lizard.  It seems that in my "former life" I
financed several people with the idea of creating a
nationwide chain of Biker hangouts with an emphasis
on gourmet foods and various events.  The money continues
to roll in both from the Center and from my financial venture.

Happy Friday!  I gotta go out, get on Harley,
ride to the Center and give notice.  I just can't see myself
spending the rest of my days trying to outsmart
the vulpine cyberthieves out there.

vul.pine \'v*l-.pi_-n\ adj : of, relating to, or resembling a fox
  esp. in cunning.

There is nothing else to say for now.  Maybe on another
day, in another life or at another biker hangout ... maybe.


Have a great weekend!
love ya!

Whatever happens, behave like you meant it to happen.
