I feel like this would have been perfect to read in between seasons one and two despite the fact that there’s some non-canon action going on – the only one I couldn’t get past was the Francis things with a certain character because he would have NEVER done that.

Some people even develop extra bones during their lives. ![]() Some people are born with extra bones, such as a 13th pair of ribs or an extra digit.

The book Maya Angelou is most famous for, of course, is I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and I’ve just added that to my Kindle library to read later. I read one thing, something is mentioned, it leads me somewhere else, and keeps on going.

Amazement not only for the content and extent of it, but that I’ve overlooked it for so many years.

It’s as if the only miracle the tyranny of science will permit is the positing of extraterrestrials with better high-tech-who, for some inexplicable reason, singled out for advancement a species that was and still is plundering and decimating itself, as well as pissing away every one of its major resources. The idea that alien astronauts visited the Earth at some point in primitive human history, endowing us with imagination and ingenuity-and possibly our genetic code-has become the cult religion of a hyper-materialistic Western world that consecrates nothing beyond its own egomaniacal gadgetry.
