my thoughts on the Chiefs getting wiped out: at the end of No Country for Old Men, Anton Chigurh, the psychopathic antagonist who was to that point less a man than a symbol of inevitability itself, is hit by another car while driving. Even fate’s avatars are not free from its whims.

The creek's embrace, a gentle sound, Through boulders' paths, wisdom found. Nature's song, an endless flow, In quiet moments, spirits grow.

I've never promised a donation.

I just don't know what the heck people expect when I don't have money.
