idle know if i can cheer up today. maybe if i get some treats. will someone give me treats? mary offered me a cookie made by millie the kid who wrote a letter about saving the midway from the obomba fundation parking garage. maybe that will cheer me up. it's a shade lighter now. chicago has always been a hard place. a place of butchers and boeing. is there anyplace that aint hard now? the cypress swamps by the black river in arkansas with the ancient trees, trees that are 38 times as old as precedent dump. that's a good place. truly, all swamps are good places. i dint get to the swamp today, speaking of yakety yak and take out the trash. that would have cheered me. oh well, i'll hafta make do with millie's cookie.
