"Good compost is a wonderful thing!
-- Efren Lizardo Ibarreta

"What do you want to be when you grow up? A fireman? An astronaut?"

I was but four years old.

"I want to be a farmer."

While puzzled, Mom was pleased as we come from farmers. I expect most people day.

"Why so?"

"Everyone has to eat. I could charge as much as I want. I'll be rich!"

Dad was quite pleased and so purchased some gardening tools and seed. This was in 1968 yet I remember as if it was yesterday that very first carrot he harvested for me.

It was good.

Fast forward to today. Being winter I am preparing for the coming Spring by composting food scraps.

Having established that collecting them in a small bag works well, I tried a large bag - a full-sized paper grocery sack.

That works well too; the fruit flies are very pleased with their new digs.

Most know Free Agents such as myself as "Vigilantes", but I actively discourage the application of "Vigilantes" do those who really _do_ aim to do right by others.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Clark County (Washington) Sheriff's Department as well as the Multnomah County (Oregon) Sheriff's Department _all_ know very well that I _relentlessly_ hunt down Child Pornographers.

To the extent I can come up with one such that is within the reach of at least INTERPOL, I file a _detailed_ report with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.

While to the very best of my knowledge my IC3 reports have yet to lead to actual prison sentences, I can claim some success, in that I've gotten two _particularly_ egregious E-COMMERCE - "ADD TO CART" - SITES taken down; that same IC3 complaint led to a _modest_ reduction in CloudFlare's _similarly_ egregious_ caching of Child Sexual Abuse.

I had to laugh just now when searching for a particularly well-known - former - Child Pornographic Actress; she was during her... uh... "career"... even _more_ widely known for her Still Photo work so from time to time I search for some of her such Photos for the most part at Bing Image Search.

(This because Satya Nadella is surely so-egregious himself; that is, if you catch my mother fucking drift.)

And why did I have to so laugh?

This because Bing Image Search quickly turned a quite a low low low price of a particularly hard-to-find... uh... "collectible"... Still Work set, but with the at-first puzzling result that at the actual eCommerce site that TURNS RIGHT UP IN IMAGE SEARCH, that very same Still Work set did _not_ turn up in a great _many_ purely-local searches I tried.

As For Why I'm a Free Agent?

When I find the man who published my own Still Photo work, I'm gonna tear him a new one with the rusty entrenching tool that I keep in my toilet bowl for just such an occasion.

Still nothing funny about tired .@nbcsnl Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Like many, I don’t watch Saturday Night Live (even though I past hosted it). But I watched parts of it during, or over, the wonderful President's Day Long Weekend. Total hit job on me. Really bad television, no longer funny, no talent or charm. ZERO. .@DonCheadle, horrible Fake Hockey Jersey. Gary Clark (Jr.), such a dumb song. And the Baldwin impersonation STINKS. Just can't get any worse. Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can’t be legal? Only defame & belittle! Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion! breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/02/18/watch-don-cheadle-promotes-breitbart-boycotters-sleeping-giants-on-saturday-night-live

On President's Day, we celebrate the American President, the bulwark of our national prosperity and the cornerstone of our national greatness. We commemorate the achievements of this skilled businessman/actor and recognize his courage, will power, and ambition -- all values we cherish as Americans. In that spirit, we continue to seek new horizons for greater greatness and further opportunity on land, in sea, and in space.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim February 18, 2019, as President's Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I also direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all public buildings on the appointed day in honor of our magnificent leader and all who have contributed to shaping this Nation.

Folks, I don't think I need to do a Proclaimation to make this one a VERY SPECIAL day. A day with a lot of heart. 💕 One year ago today, a horrific act of violence took the lives of 14 students and 3 educators in Parkland, Florida. ❣️ On this somber anniversary, we honor their memory and recommit to ensuring the safety of all Americans, especially our Nation’s children. And believe me, the children are much safer today. Because we did the Ban of the deadly Bump Stocks. Little piece of plastic -- sometimes Metal -- that can turn an ordinary gun into a Weapon of Mass Destruction. 💘 And more importantly, we now have a Ratings System for Video Games. That's a big thing. A year ago, nobody thought that was possible. We made it happen -- together. And we're only getting stronger together.

From time to time, as events wend their merry way through the Courts, I'll submit an SN Story Submission that summarizes the plot that has transpired so far as well as links to my detailed chronicles, each such chronicle packed solid with wall-to-wall Civil Procedures that use all their holes. Our Story So Far:

• Standing to Complain, Or, C-TRAN Kicks a Cripple

tl;dr:

The C-TRAN Clark County Washington Rapid Transit System used a FIFTY-TWO MILLION DOLLAR local sales tax increase to retain a firm of uncommonly sadistic banshees to build these quite cool Avant-Garde Installation pieces that I remain flummoxed are denoted as "Bus Stop Shelters".

Flummoxed because The Vine's alleged "shelters" do not protect either the waiting passengers, nor the benches within in _any_ way.

Redoubling my sorrow, is that as each Vine Avant-Garge Installation piece was... installed... the old, quite pleasant, inclement weather-protective though rather prosaic True Shelters was destroyed.

In this evenings mail, I received a Tort Claims Form from a Mr. Cedric Adams, Claims Manager for the Washington State Transit Insurance Pool. My _polite_, _respectful_ as well as I'ma Gonna Tear Ya A New Asshole reply:

Mr. Adams,

Thank you for sending me C-TRAN's Claim Form.

Note that I've CCed my Legal Advisor Rod Schmidt; when you mail me yourself, please CC Rod as well.

While I will fill it out and submit it tomorrow (Wednesday), I really don't see a way for C-TRAN to remediate the ultimate cause of the cruelty C-TRAN's Vine Bus Operator other than to either redesign, or perhaps to replace _each_ of the bus stop shelters for The Vine route.

This because those "shelters" do not, in _any_ way, shelter the benches from the wind, rain and snow. Nor do the protect either those sitting on the bench or those standing from the cold, wet winds which are so common in Vancouver during the Fall, Winter or Spring.

What led me to be so profoundly overcome with grief was the great pain I experienced due to having been forced to stand during most of the forty-five minutes I awaited The Vine's arrival on this last Saturday morning, February 9th. That grief was compounded by the knowledge that I _voted_ for the local sales tax increase that at the time of the election was intended to raise fifty-two million dollars for the construction of the Fourth Plain Rapid Transit Corridor.

Despite C-TRAN quite admirably sparing no expense nor effort to provide - in the parlance of the Americans With Disabilities Act - "Reasonable Accommodation" for those who cannot walk and so require wheelchairs, no such Accommodation was provided for those who do not use wheelchairs, but for whom walking or standing are excruciatingly painful and difficult.

For that reason, my monetary claim on our form will be a largely arbitrary, quite large amount, with the expectation that my claim will be denied. I will then proceed with my Civil Complaint through the Clark County Superior Court.

I shall do so with the expectation that C-TRAN's attorney and I - with the assistance and advice of Mr. Rod Schmidt - will negotiate a settlement which stipulates that _each_ Vine Stop Shelter be protected from the elements.

Enclosed please find a photo of one of the two snow-covered benches at the 12th and Broadway Vine Stop. I shot that with my phone upon my arrival on the C-TRAN #60 Delta Park Regional Bus.

Warmest Regards,

Michael D. Crawford

Indeed I did request my 9-1-1 call's audio file, but it's going to take CRESA (not "CRESPA"), the Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency, ten to fourteen days to get it to me.

I await my Emergency Call's arrival with bated breath, as I _begged_ CRESA's Dispatcher to deliver unto me a VPD Officer who would not arrest my Evil and Cruel Bus Driver, but _reason_ with him so that he would stop insisting I get off his bus. That would have condemned me to another forty-five minutes of standing, with _great_ pain, in the snow for the next bus.

Another disappointing Grammie Awards show last nite. Nothing for @taylorswift13. And that's O.K. She's good but she's not all that. People like her a little less since she came out against Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. Marsha took the Embrace. So now she's a Senator -- great job, Marsha!!

And unfortunately, nothing for my brother Yeesus. Otherwise known as Kanye. He's not my brother. But, he's like a brother that isn't an alcoholic. He was up for Producer of the Year, Non Classical. For the Wyoming Sessions -- Daytona by Pusha T and everything else.

And his incredible song Freeee was up for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. But, nothing. ZERO. This one was rigged, folks!! youtu.be/5bZqAfJBsSk

I’d have a mischevious grin and a sadistic chuckle?

“Mike, this is getting _really_ old. Don’t tell us you have The Good Guy’s Gal tied to the railroad tracks again?”

Not, not today any, but have Your People call My People that we may come together as a team to do that before End Of Business on Monday.

The Long Blinks just hit! I’ll continue in the comments after I chills to one or more torrents.

You'll be wanting to "$ wget --recursive http://www.girlshighdef.com/images/" or so as you read this here screed.

I want to shop professor Ian from Mary Worth onto a Playboy Magazine cover, one of the "Girls Of" (some college) line. This because he only just narrowly escaped infidelity.

When I do a Bing Image Search for "playboy 'girls of'" I'm not met with any covers, but with some top hits of generously - for a freesite - high-rez Playments from Girls High Res Dot Com.

So I click the thumbnail to get the link, click the link then...

a "download.gz" file downloads into my Downloads folder. TF?

Being on an almost but not quite current rev of macOS, I figure I'm immune from viruses, so I click the .gz to unpack it - try that, LUNIX! - then click the "download" file. It opens right up in TextEdit to reveal...

... the markup that _should_ have been - but was _not_ their web page.

I've had this happen to me before, so I know full well what their problem is:

Their server has that page's MIME-Type set wrong, I expect to binary/octet or some such, and not text/html.

So here THEY"RE THE TOP HIT AT BING IMAGE SEARCH!!!! but they're not getting any ad clicks nor are their referral links getting any clicks.

I'll try a "site:girlshighdef.com inurl:wp-content inurl:uploads"... no, while that commonly works, it does not here.

HOWEVER!!!! That webmaster shall be flayed alive, not merely fired: every last page's Site Description is "Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked *. Comment"

Now, I readily admit that every last website I've ever published has been A Multitude Of - non-pr0n Sins, but I have _always_ been diligent as to fixing them.
