Unsure how this plays out, and really not sure about the legal ramifications, what I understand, though, is there is like a sacred trust. This exists between me as the author, astrologer, observer, webmaster, and essentially, the proprietor — and the readers. The consumers. The folks who pay to have access to my material.

Sacred Trust

So when a customer, if you will, and I will, signs up for a year-long subscription, about the only option I’ve got open at this time? I consider it my honorable duty to insure that there will be fresh material, by the time that year rolls around. Oh I’ve got ideas. I’ve got ideas, dreams and plans, but mostly, just ideas.

Systems, meanings, beliefs

That trust, implicit that it might be? I don’t see that sustained by other characters and entities.

I have renewed a lease on the webspace, like a rented storefront. That’s good for another two, almost three years. I’ve got my named leased out through the next five years, at the furthest right now. I think that’s what it’s all at, I haven’t checked recently.

Systems, meanings, beliefs

The system is simple enough, it’s a website, hosted in the cloud, a remote server.

The meaning is what I try to impart, an interpretation of the events unfolding.

Beliefs are like some kind of faiths that this will all continue.

Sacred Trust

Always what I’ve believed, a sacred trust with the people I try and serve.

“You do vex me.”

Registered, I’m guessing by the date, I was still in Austin, but amused by the notion that San Antonio’s then-mantra was “Keep San Antonio Lame,” while Austin’s was “Keep Austin Weird.”

In its heyday, the domain name itself was worth some bucks, mostly as a real estate tool, for those looking within the greater San Antonio area for information. But as my domain? I used it for self-education.

As a toy, for me, I started it before there were a plethora of image sharing sites — or even mechanisms — like the ubiquitous social media feeds now everywhere.

Useful as a tool, for me, and for more than a decade, a place to explore local oddities.

Maybe a year ago, though the true joy waxed then waned.

Toying with various online tools, to get some idea of price? From a low $500 to a high of over $3K, I can see no way all that works. However, for now?

Camino Winds

Camino Winds

Camino Winds – John Grisham

Back, to the old setting of Camino Island? Perhaps a breezier version?

The town is fictitious, but based on any number of similar Florida towns, and yet, the set-up for the story, a hurricane? The preparations are so close to what happened along our own Gulf Coast, not that long ago.

Port Aransas and Rockport TX both got slammed, and weird in the aftermath, because one house would still be standing and another, just gone. A fishing buddy claimed his neighbor clocked 174 MPH winds, but that’s not substantiated. Still, the howling wind brought back eery images of the devastation along the gem of the Gulf Coast in Texas.

But Camino Winds is set in Florida, and Grisham kills the lawyer, first thing. Not sure that’s all bad, right? Echoes of my cursory look at the Henry VI plays.

“First thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”

Inexact quote, and I’m not willing to dig around for the referent, other than Henry 6th, pt. 2.

Camino Winds

I have a shelf full of Grisham first-edition, hardback, with full dust jackets. Maybe one doesn’t have a cover, but the rest are in good shape. So I’m loyal, to a fault, and, as always the fault an old girlfriend — because of her, I’m reading these now.

Rollicking read, enjoyable, and the murder and mayhem? Wrapped up nicely.

It’s a revisiting and moving forward, a grand sequel to the previous novel, and there would have to be a hint that there’s a spot for third one as previous plot line was left just tad un-finished.

To me, the prose itself was a little more flat and linear than previously, but there’s also that projectile-like progress, always moving forward.
