   Rained out in Motown, too… Until the climate changes even more, March is still too early. I echo the above comment: Pfffft!

   I find it so amazing that GT can, inside of a few squares, illustrate how military men/women can survive emotionally/psychically/spiritually, by reducing it, or in their view, elevating it, to their commitment to their fellow soldiers. They were “doing their jobs”, and their deployment did indeed lead to the collapse of order and widespread chaos/death/refugees and appalling and dehumanizing warfare. GT absolutely loves and respects the troops, as much or more than he loathes the politicians who sent them into what turned into an ongoing long-after-the-war-was-over physical/emotional/spiritual hell for many of them… and they are the lucky ones who could come home to a mostly peaceful place; they now have 1st world problems, while a 3rd world hell, largely of the United States’ making, continues to explode.

   It was a slow dawn and I had to think about “a bundle of sticks” for a while, but it came to me…. a bundle of sticks is a “faggot”.

   For good?! As long as Garry keeps drawing, there is hope for Duke and Honey. Moses promised he would take his people to a land of “Duke and Honey”, didn’t he? Am I right or am I right? Sure, I am!

   IT TOOK ME A COUPLE OF BEATS TO GET THAT RAY HAS BRAIN DAMAGE THAT HAD HIM FORGET THAT TOGGLE WAS THERE, THEN ANOTHER COUPLE BEATS FOR THE QUESTION TO OCCUR TO ME: SO, DOES BD HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE, TOO?

   I’m moved to tears; I just remembered that “Permission to enter perimeter” was what Elias, standing out in the snow and cold, said to BD as BD was having a flashback. It was the first time BD lowered his defenses and allowed someone into the world of his PTSD. It was the beginning of BD’s healing; and Elias’s primary qualification? He had been through it all himself.

   It’s great to see the transformed BD, from the completely self-absorbed, unaware, oblivious-to-emotions lunkhead to a person with sympathy, empathy, AND clinical skills; very similar to the track that successful persons in recovery from addictions take. Is it a coincidence that Ray’s addiction to adrenaline mirrors addiction to chemicals? I think not.
