i was talking about trump and the prince with sequoia's man in harold w. park and we fantasized about trump and the prince sharing a cell for eternity or life playing checkers as if the world depended on the outcome of the infinite game. ah fuggit, i gotta go get the pointers. i'll get back to this, and the outrageousness of a crosswalk on a highway in front of a nature sanctuary. run for your life! 
oh i was thinking after our brief chat about the other prince, machiavelli's prince, and a story that may have been true, or an alternate true, about a guy who was bisected for political reasons i didn't quite understand like khashoggi.
