Frontier Fighters. Frontier Fighters. Throbbing pages torn from the history romance and adventure of those brave men and women who brought law and order to the West. A picturesque character whose exploits thundered across the pages of history was James Butler Hickok, familiarly known as Wild Bill. But this son of law-abiding God-fearing William Alonzo and Polly Hickok was anything but wild. He was named as the best shot in the West as an Indian fighter, town marshal and defender of weak and helpless women. The winning of his nickname almost cost him his life.  On July 12th, 1861, when John Waltman was away, without warning the mechanist gang burst in the door to the cabin.  We've got your corner this time. Or look, Hickok. Don't shoot him. You're turned against him. He's only got one pistol. One as good as a hundred against ten cowards, and when they're leaders, David Mechanus, it's a cinch for me to win. John, do you think Bill will live? The only six pistol shots in a boy's knife, he whipped the whole murderous mechanist gang. Six shots in a boy's knife.  The Lord have mercy on him. For all his wonderful courage, he's just a boy. One as good as a hundred against ten cowards, and when they're leaders, David Mechanus. No, no, no. Don't take it easy. Don't face about so wide with your arms.  I think I'm done for. Now you just lie still a while, or you'll start those wounds to bleeding again. I... did I? Are they done for? That gang? Yes, Bill. My wife said she just laid into them.  I was so mad when the pistol was emptied. I didn't have nothing but a knife in my belt.  Wild's the word for it. Poor Bill.  He's Wild Bill. Wild Bill Hickock. And so James Butler Hickock earned the name which almost cost him his life. His encounters fighting on the side of law were many. Early in 1862, he joined the Union Army and served with honors as sharpshooter, spy, and scout. The Civil War to an end, he became Chief Scout for General Curtis. In 1869, he came to Hayes City in Kansas. On September 8th, he was elected town marshal. He had hardly taken the oath of office when Jack Straughan, a notorious desperado, began to terrorize the citizens. Said Jim Naster to the new marshal. Bill, I tell you this, Straughan is 14 different kinds of a devil. He said he was going to clean out Hayes City in a new marshal, too. That's so? Well, you don't seem to get excited, do you, Jim? Well, aren't you going to do nothing? Sure, but let the stranger get his feet warmed first. Just calm and courtesy. When I left him, he was over the drum saloon, showing the crowd the notches on his gun. Said at the drop of the hat, he could shoot anybody or anything straight from the hip. Where did you say this notorious outlaw hangs out? A drum saloon, Bill. Hand me that brace of pistols, Jim. As town marshal, I reckon it's my duty to see that strangers coming into town know that law and orders come to Hayes City to stay. Well, I guess it might as well get off my boy-knife and start carving that other notch of my gun. The minute I lay eyes on Mr. Marshall Hickock, he's a dead man. That's him, Bill. That's him. He discovered me yet, which makes it better for all of us.  All right, Bill. When you get to the bar, tell him Hickock's waiting for him by the swinging door. Yeah. I'm sorry to interrupt your game, but you're blocking my way to the bar. Just move closer to your tables. Well, since when are you so finicky, Jim, about stepping on my feet? Turnin' over a new leaf. Decided to be a gentleman. Evening, bartender. What'll it be, Jim? Oh, escape. Oh. Didn't I hear you say you decided to be a gentleman, mister? That's right, stranger. You are your cat. I'm the only one in Hayes City. There's a third gentleman in Hayes City, and he's over there by the swinging door. Oh, is it so? Well, looks like your marshal's got more nerve than I thought. Well, boys, get your money ready for the flowers you'll be sending to Wild Bill. Stranger, I think it might be a good idea for you to leave town. Oh, is it so? Well, how much do you weigh, sonny? I weigh only 165 pounds, and I'm in a good humor, but my fighting size is a fraction more than a ton. Oh, bragging, long-haired white livers sent to people. Oh! Well, you dropped him, Bill, and with one bullet. Sorry, gentlemen, but you saved money on me this time. I hope somebody saw him pull a gun on me first. Sure, Bill, I thought... But you could beat him by a split here. All right, gents. Well, that's over. We'll really start enforcing the law. Playing cards for money is out. That's gambling, and gambling in Hayes City is no good anymore. Hey, Bill, you're joking. Hey, what are you gonna do for your game? Play solids here? I'm cutting out cards, too. For money and saloons in your homes. I'm here to clean up this town. Now, there's a certain lady and her friends coming to Hayes City, and by my invitation, too. The lady's name is Lake. If she likes the way I've cleaned up this town, she might change it to Hickok. What do you think of that? I suppose three chairs for the view of Mrs. Wild Bill Hickok. Wait, the lady won't be known as Mrs. Wild Bill Hickok. If she has me, I'm not Wild. I love peace, order, and decency. I never killed a man that didn't need killing, and if he needed it, he was outside the law. Remember that. How about three chairs for the future Mrs. Plain Bill Hickok? I'm not known whether it'll be yes or no. Save the chairs. But if you will, the drinks are on me. I did not thought I would be approached in the subject of marriage with Hickok. I ain't much on words, ma'am. I've never made a business of courting. Courting, Mr. Hickok, is not a business. It is an art, and one doesn't do it with pictures. Oh, maybe that's what you got against me. My reputation is a crack shot, or maybe it's that mechanical affair. You're what we would say naive. Here, I find a young blonde giant. A six-feet-three, are you? A six-one, ma'am. A six-foot-one blonde giant. In love with a woman eleven years his senior. A woman who has spent most of her life in a circus as an equestrian. I don't care what you are. You're good and fine and sweet.  Do you see things like that often? Almost never. It's looking at you being near here that brought it out. Gosh, ma'am. You can't be leading lady in a circus all your life. I'm going on to Abilene after I make a city a clean town. If you say the word, I'll settle down in Abilene. That is, after I've made it a place I'd want a lady like you to live in. In your heart you are a fine man, Billy Hickok. And although you have not proposed, perhaps some time we can speak seriously of marriage. But let us wait. You have your way to go on, I mine. What we will meet again. I'll go on living only in the hope that we will meet again, ma'am. Ma'am. Yes, Mr. Billy Hickok. What, were you trembling? Well, I'm powerful agitated, Miss Agnes. I want to take in my arms and kiss you, but I'm afraid you'd scream. No, I wouldn't scream. What would you do, ma'am? Let you? While Bill Hickok, true to his word, did go to Abilene and brought law and order and decency to a rough, tumble, wide-open border town. And true to his word, Bill never forgot Agnes Lake. His word was passed. The word reached him that she was in Cheyenne. He turned his officer's badge into the council and booked passage on the first stage out for Wyoming. But not before a crowd of his admirers carried him on their shoulders from his room to the bar in the tavern and stood him on it. Come on, please, please! Oh, I had never made a speech in my life. Never had to. It wasn't anything to talk about for more than 30 seconds. But most of my life I've been dealing with outlaws, desperators, and horse thieves. And for them, you don't need no fancy words. Just quick shooting. Say, fellas, is this here a speech I make? If you ain't careful, it'll probably be one, Bill.  But before I do, you all know what I'm going to Cheyenne for. It's to tell Miss Lake again I love her. I reckon she'll have me this time. The Lord knows why, but women is funny things and wonderful things. I don't know what the years will bring, but I hope the day comes when I can lay aside my shooting irons. But as long as there's one outlaw stopping the West from being called safe for the women and children who are bound to come here in that far or near tomorrow, I'm ready to pick up my Marshall's badge again and go anywhere to bring law and order to this last frontier. And thus we leave one of the most colorful characters in the entire history of the West. The wild Bill Hickok that many historians present in those uncertain days at Deadwood City prior to his assassination is not part of our story. We would like to remember him as a loyal, straight talking, straight shooting, guardian of law, order and decency, a valuable citizen of those early history making days, and a real frontier fighter.


Both in the U.S. and around the world, there is a bias or even a discrimination against women in the healthcare system. Often the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases or other diseases and the treatment patterns are based upon clinical trials, studies, and research that have been done largely in men. When those are superimposed on women, women may not be getting the specific diagnosis or treatment that they deserve for their diseases. For cardiovascular diseases, as an example, many of the studies on things like statins and high blood pressure have been done largely with male populations. And so how do we know the right treatment at the right time for the right person if we don't have more women included in studies and if we don't find a way to make sure that our treatments are specific to genders? In modern society today, you know, women have an equal right to be represented in the healthcare system. Women have an equal right to have treatments that are designed to work for them. And we must make sure that there are not biases in the system against women. Women, for example, who are pregnant and have gestational diabetes have a much higher risk of heart disease later in their life. And we need to get our healthcare systems to begin asking questions of women about what was their pregnancy like. How can we make sure that women have a continuous treatment of care from their physician who might treat them in their child-bearing years to their physician who might be treating them later in life? The wider economy has certainly impacted because of this bias. First of all, women may not be getting the right treatment. So that might mean multiple trips to the doctor, multiple medications that are tested before a woman gets to the right treatment. Secondly, some women aren't getting treated at all. And we know that the cost of delaying healthcare has a very significant disadvantage to the overall economy. Thirdly, we recognize that women who are in disadvantaged areas and may not have access to healthier food, safe places to exercise, may not be able to manage and control their risk of many diseases, will be disadvantaged and the healthcare system will pay a very steep price. The stakeholders must come together and be willing to have the discussion that there is a bias against women in the healthcare system. There must be a roadmap for how we assure that women are included in clinical trials, that when new drugs and new devices are developed, that there are those that are able to work specifically for women. One example we often like to give is that for patients that have very significant heart failure and they may be waiting for a heart transplant, they are given an artificial heart in this interim time period. And the only FDA approved artificial heart in the United States right now does not fit most women's bodies. And so if that isn't, disadvantaging women, I'm not sure what is. Coordination among all stakeholders is critical to remove this bias and to make sure that women have equal access to the best of our healthcare systems and to the best of prevention and treatment strategies.

In this video, I want to talk about the so-called classical matrix group known as the unitary group. It's very similar to the orthogonal group and the special orthogonal group, which were special subgroups of the general linear group of real matrices. The unitary group is essentially the complex analog of the orthogonal group, and because of that, I'm not going to do all the details over again that we did with our video on the orthogonal group. I would suggest you look at that video if you want to see some more details that we're going to omit here. But there are some important differences. Why do we have a unitary group versus just the complex orthogonal group? And that's because it turns out that the notion of orthogonal needs to be modified when we talk about complex vectors and complex matrices. Particularly, the issue is with the transpose, right? If we take the usual dot product between two vectors u dot v to mean in terms of matrix multiplication, you have u transpose times v. Turns out that's the wrong way to define it in a product for complex vectors. Let me give you one prime example here. If you take the complex vector 1 and i, it seems perfectly fine. If you take the dot product of 1i with itself, you're going to get 1 times 1, which is 1, and you're going to get i times i, which is negative 1, so you get 1 minus 1, which is 0. So you get that the dot product between the two vectors is 0, but notice the vector 1i is not the zero vector. This is a problem because the way that we defined length of a vector in these Euclidean vector spaces is the following. We take the length of a vector, say v, to equal the square root of v dot v. So we take the dot product of the vector and take the square root. If v was equal to 1i, this would suggest the length of the vector is equal to the square root of zero, which is zero. This would say that the vector 1i has zero length, but that seems counter-intuitive to our intuition of what the geometry of this complex vector space should be. It should have some positive length. And that's because there's a defect for the transpose operator for complex matrices, and we have to improve that with what we're going to talk about right here. So instead of using the dot product for complex vectors, we use the so-called Hermitian product, so what does that mean? So before we define the Hermitian product, let me show you what the band-aid we can put on this boo-boo is here. If you have A as an in-by-in complex matrix, we define the so-called conjugate transpose. This is usually denoted as A star. The conjugate transpose, we're going to take the real transpose we had before, but we also include the complex conjugate. So that bar on top there means we take the conjugate of all the numbers. So whenever you talk about a complex vector space, a complex matrix, a complex vector, you always use the conjugate transpose and never the actual transpose. Because the problem was before we weren't taking conjugates, which is why we got zero when we shouldn't have. We didn't notice this with real vector spaces because the conjugate of a real number is just itself, so the conjugation is invisible for real matrices. We need it for complex matrices. So just as a quick example, if you take the 2 by 3 matrix A to be 1 plus i minus i 0, 2, 3 minus 2i and i, it's conjugate transpose is you'll take the rows and turn them into columns. So this row turns into a column, but we take conjugates. 1 plus i becomes 1 minus i, negative i becomes i, and then 0 becomes 0. Real numbers when you take the conjugate doesn't do anything. And then the second row becomes the second column when you take the conjugate transpose. If you take the conjugate of 2, you get back to because it's a real number. The conjugate of 3 minus 2i is 3 plus 2i, and the conjugate of i is negative i. You see that. Same thing for B here. We have a 3 by 3 complex matrix. If we take the first row, it becomes the first column, take conjugates. You're going to get 1 negative i, 1 minus i. The second row becomes the second column when we take B star, and you're going to get plus i minus 5 and 2 plus i here. Notice the sign of the real part doesn't change, even if that's the only number there. And then if you take the third row, it becomes the third column. The conjugate of 1 minus i becomes 1 plus i. The conjugate of 2 plus i, excuse me, becomes 2 minus i. And the conjugate of 3 becomes 3 because it gets a real number. So we take the conjugate transpose whenever we have complex vectors or matrices. Then using the conjugate transpose instead of the regular transpose, we define the Hermitian product. And this is the inner product for complex vectors here. So when you see u dot v for complex vectors, this means u star v. So we're going to take the conjugate transpose of the first vector. So we turn that vector into a row vector and we take conjugates of each of these things. And then you'll multiply that with just the original vector, the second vector, unaffected. In which case then you get this linear combination of the first entries multiplied together, the first entries multiplied, the second entries, the nth entries. But remember to always take the conjugate of the first one. Now I have to caution you in this setting here, because when it comes to the Hermitian product, many textbooks alternatively define the Hermitian product to be u dot v is equal to u transpose v bar. So you take the transpose, then you take the conjugate of the second one. And from a theoretical point of view, there's really no difference between this. It does change like the exact numbers. Actually, when we take the Hermitian product away, we've defined it compared to how others define it. You always get the conjugate. That's the only difference, right? That's the only difference between these two definitions. So from a theoretical point of view, no difference. From a computational point of view, you just take conjugates of everything. Now the reason why we deviated from this one, because honestly I'd say this one's more popular, it requires we use the transpose, right? And then the conjugate separate. It seems kind of weird. If we're going to be true to the principle here, I'm making a blood oath with you right now, right? You know, slice your hand, we're going to shake on it. We never use transposition when we talk about complex matrices, always the conjugate transpose. And so in order to keep this unbreakable vow, we must have star right here. And so it makes a slight difference. But in the end, I would argue it leads to a simpler theory of orthogonality for complex vectors and such. But I'll let you be the judge, of course. Just some examples as you might be unfamiliar with the Hermitian product. If we take some vectors in C3, take U to be 1 plus I, I3 minus I, and take V to be 1 plus I2 and 4I. If we take the Hermitian product of these things, U dot V, this means we're going to take the product of the first entries together. Make sure you take the conjugate of the first. Then take the product of the middle two entries. Make sure you take the conjugate of the first vector there. And then you're going to take the product of 3I, 3 minus I times 4I, take the conjugate of the first one right there. So the conjugate just means you switch the sign of the imaginary part, like you see right here, right? And then multiply these out by the usual rules of complex arithmetic.  Combining other like terms, right, you get a negative 2I that's imaginary, foil this thing out. And just combining the details, combining all the like terms, I'll let you kind of verify the details. I'm going to go through this a little bit quickly. You end up with negative 2 plus 10I. Verify this on your own, pause the video if you have to. If you switch the order of the Hermitian product, you do take V dot U this time. This does change the final result because you're now taking the conjugate of the other term, right? So whoever in the hot seat is the one you're going to take the conjugate of. And that affects things if you go through the calculations. Here again, pause the video if you want to double check it on your own. But you're going to end up with the conjugate negative 2 minus 10I. That's the difference here. These are conjugates of each other. So this number here is in fact just equal to U dot V conjugate. But this does fix the problem we were saying about earlier. What if we want to take the length of a vector? This length should equal the square root of U dot U for which you're going to take the conjugate of the first bit. So you're going to get 1 plus I conjugate times 1 plus I. You're going to get conjugate I times I. You're going to get 3 minus I conjugate times 3 minus I. And this ends up giving you, when you take these constants, you get that.  When you take the conjugate of these things, just get the sum of the squares of the real imaginary part. So you're going to get, so this here is going to equal 1 squared plus 1 squared. This one right here is going to equal 1 squared. And this here is going to equal 3 squared plus 1 squared. So you end up with 1 plus 1, which is 2, 1, and then 9 plus 1, which is 10. So you get the square root of 13. The nice thing about conjugates, this is why we need them for complex vectors. If you take A minus BI and you times it by A plus BI, right? So you have the complex number times by its conjugate. When you foil this out, you always get A squared.  You're going to get minus ABI. And then you're going to get minus B squared I squared. For which the ABI and the minus ABI obviously cancel each other out. But the thing to remember about I squared is I squared is actually negative 1. So you get a double negative, and this thing would simplify just to be A squared plus B squared. For which this is always a real number. When you multiply a complex number by its conjugate, you always get a real number. And this then recovers our notions of length that we want. Okay? Some properties we should mention about the Hermitian product. Because you might not be familiar with these things. Like you mentioned already, if you switch the order of the factors, you take the conjugate. The Hermitian product is distributive. That is, if you take U plus V, this is vector addition right here. If you take U plus V dot W, you can distribute the W. It's distributive in both the first and second factor.  You have to be careful with scalars, right? If you have a scalar in the second factor, you can factor it out. No big deal. U dot V, Z V is the same thing as Z times U dot V. But because of the conjugate, if you have a scalar complex scalar in the first factor, when you take it out, it actually becomes a conjugate. So V U dot, excuse me, Z U dot V is equal to the conjugate. You get Z bar times U dot V. So you have to pay attention to that. The most important property right here are positive definite condition. If you take a complex vector U dot V, that'll always be a non-negative real number. And it's equal to zero if and only if it's the zero vector in play here. We need this positive definite condition. That's what it's called here, property six. The positive definite condition will, that'll allow us to develop a geometry from this inner product, a so-called inner product space. We need that. And we can't do it if we don't have conjugates. All right, let's get to the heart of the matter. Now that we've reviewed the idea of conjugate transposes and the Hermitian product, we're now ready to define the so-called unitary group. This is usually called UN for short or it can be called UN of C to emphasize the complex numbers here. In the classical sense, the unitary group is only described over the complex numbers, which is why we don't even mention it. But in a more modern case, we can replace the complex numbers with some other number system like a field or ring or something like that. But if we do that, we need to have some type of, some type of like a sesquilinear form to replace the, we have to be careful about the inner product. That lets us say that. So if you have some appropriate inner product space, we can have an analogy of the unitary group. But for our purposes, we'll stick just to the complex unitary group. Now the unitary group is going to be defined analogous to the orthogonal group for the real matrices. So we say that matrix is unitary if its conjugate transpose is equal to its inverse. Some consequences of that statement is we're going to see is that q, q star is going to equal to q star q, which is equal to the identity, right? Since the conjugate transpose is the inverse, you can also argue that a matrix is unitary if and only if its column vectors form an orthonormal set in the sense of complex vectors. Where orthogonal is, in this case, orthogonal means that u star v is equal to zero. That's the Hermitian product. It's orthogonal with respect to the Hermitian product. So you can prove very similar things in that regard. Basically, everything that's true about orthogonal matrices over real numbers is true for the unitary matrices over complex numbers with very few exceptions. Nearly the theory is identical. Let me give you an example of a unitary matrix. Here's a 2 by 2 unitary matrix. So I claim that u star, u times u star is equal to its inverse, right? If we multiply them together. So here's just u copied down again. It's conjugate transpose. You're going to take the first row that becomes the first column. Make sure you take conjugates here. So the 1 plus i's become 1 minus i's. Take the second row. It becomes the second column. Make sure you take conjugates there.   So to make this calculation a little bit easier, notice everything's divisible by 1 half. You can factor 1 half from the first and the second. You end up with 1 fourth times.  You're going to get 1 minus i, negative 1 plus i, which that could be factored as negative times 1 minus i. Like so that's the first matrix. The second matrix could look like 1 minus i, 1 plus i, 1 minus i. And this is a negative 1 plus i. Like so. And so the real kicker to pay attention to in this setting here is if you take 1 plus i and times it by 1 minus i, that's its complex conjugate. This will equal the number 2.  That's going to give you a 2. You're going to get 2 for the first one, 2 for the second one. So you get 2 plus 2, which is 4 divided by 4. You get a 1.  That's 1 plus i squared. And then the next one, you're going to get 1 plus i times 1 plus i squared. But there's a negative sign here that can't solve to give you 0.  So that's 0 again. And if you take the second column, you're going to get 1 minus i times 1 plus i, that's a 2. And then you're going to get a double negative. So it's positive 1 minus i times 1 plus i, that's a 2. 2 plus 2 is 4 divided by 4. You get 1 again. So kind of going through the details here, you see that this is in fact the identity matrix. This is in fact a unitary matrix. So analogously, unitary matrices are exactly the complex matrices that preserve the Hermitian product. You can prove that, like we saw with orthogonal matrices, the unitary matrix, they preserve the Hermitian product. That is ux dot uy, oops, uy, will equal x dot y for complex matrices, if and only if u is a unitary matrix. As such, unitary matrices will preserve distances and angles and lengths and all of the geometric properties you want. So multiplying by a unitary matrix gives you a rigid motion of the complex vector space Cn. And in fact, un is the group of rigid motions of Cn as long as we restrict to linear maps, right? Because we don't want things like translation, which that's an affine map, but not a linear one. So this unitary group acts as a symmetry group for Cn. And this notion of symmetry is something we're going to talk more about in the next lecture, because that's why people were interested in the classical matrix groups in the first place, the general linear group, the special linear group, the orthogonal group, the special orthogonal group, the unitary group. We can talk about the special unitary groups. So this is called SU of n, kind of want to call the last one u there. So then the group would call SU u, because Southern Utah University is where we're at right now. This is going to be the intersection of the special linear group on complex numbers with the unitary group. So you get the special unitary group. This is going to be a normal subgroup of the unitary group. It's going to be the rotations of the complex vector space. And then of course, also there's the other classical matrix group, the symplectic group, which I'm omitting from this lecture. Feel free to look it up online. Wikipedia has a pretty good page about it if you want to learn more about it. These are all examples of symmetry groups of various Euclidean spaces, but they're different ones. Why do we care about the unitary group and the special unit group? Why separate the two? Why do we care? I mean, unitary is for complex as orthogonal is for real. That makes sense. But why the general linear group and the orthogonal group? Why do we need both? Why special? In the next video, we'll talk some more about these ideas of symmetries and see that these classical groups, classical metric groups, are important groups of symmetries of Euclidean geometry, which then has consequences to their applications to the physical sciences.

Welcome to church of the chair where we celebrate all the things we do while seated. I'm your hostie here today with my co-host Chad Lutsky We are currently collaborating on a novel called planet caravan We are like 43,000 words or something like that. I don't know but this the stream is for Motivation so if you're having problems getting down and getting in a routine down, you know Or just writing every day whatever that's what we're here for you can ride along with us You can create along with us. You can do crafting draw drawing Graphic design, whatever you want. Also, we're here to answer questions about the collaborative process So if you guys have any questions feel free to answer We are now 26 episodes deep.  Hey Viking. How you doing? Yo, yo, yo I finally hit 50 followers on Twitch. So I'm just waiting for them to give me the invite for affiliate Good morning, Boggle. We were just talking about you last night over on Twitch They I said Boggle only really shows up for the king content and the live streams And I doubt she's gonna come over to the Twitch. So hey, it's got dammit Viking No, it was all good. It was all good, but uh, I think it you know It always happens anytime someone misspells something, you know, you some someone well We all end up bringing you up and we're like, oh, we miss Boggle But there will be some streams and stuff on on the youtube channel this coming week now that I've hit 50 over there I wanted to use all my effort and everything That wasn't on purpose. It's just the Boggle effect, man. It's completely the Boggle effect Yeah, I don't have twitch or that other one either. Yeah, you're fine.  I ain't going to twitch. I'm kidding. He did not say that. Hey Pedro. How you doing? Hey Pedro, what do you do while while you while you're in here? Are you writing also? I'm just curious, man Like if you just like sitting around listening to us, that's fine. I'm just wondering You never talk about what you're doing, brother Let's see what mr. Lutzki has for us anything new Uh, we're a little bit this morning A little bit after you read last night, but not just like a couple paragraphs and I left some comments for some discussion on some things got you What's the ugg for I mean, I'm kind of if in The ugg you do realize Okay, that's like a it's like a facepalm.   I am not a fan of Crazy dialogue I told you about these two anyways. All right. All right. I thought this I how about can we compromise and She she lets it slip in so the occasional word is but but always a word that somebody doesn't have to Because dude, I read this. I don't know what she's saying. Like that's that that was that was kind of Okay, and I know you're not gonna agree with it. That was that was the point in the paragraph above She said something like bahaba or something like that. I'm like, yeah going down. I don't need to grab a seltzen lobster I don't even know what a bahaba is bar harbor Bar harbor bar harbor main. Uh, they're famous for their lobster That's what but that's but that's what I'm that's what I'm getting at, you know, the and also I don't plan on using Nancy and cookie for Anything else really? So this was the only instance of that that I was gonna Really run into because I do not see them being important to the grand scheme of things But anyways, if you want me to change it, I'll change it. But yes, I do Well, I just like the characters who as soon as I saw it.  There was a I can't remember. There was a book that did that real bad I can't remember and I told you about how much I love midnight rain by james newan But the kid has a lisp in there.  I mean, I've never been there. I've only seen movies And then youtube videos whatever but I've never actually been there um, but I talked to people in you know east coast main boston whatever and Do they um Are they that hard to understand or is it just Hard to read what? No, they I mean they walk around like a like jamaican like some jamaicans do I saw a video just a couple days ago White dude black dude having a conversation Subtitles thank god because yeah, you couldn't make a word out that they were saying it was all they were in jamaica. Yeah Yes, but they but it was but they were speaking english But it was just it was just uh lazy gibberish when it sounded like when I when we first moved up there to main I spent two two and a half years roughly The first three months I was constantly saying what because especially the canada one is fucked me all up. Um, I had this, uh, this Uh general manager.   That is the most neutral american accent I have ever Heard um, it's like you can't tell that someone is from california. At least I can't now going literally probably because I was born there They're going literally anywhere else. Um, I notice other accents. So maybe there is an accent whatever but um When I think of an american accent, I think of two accents I think of out west is just no accent and then southern accent and then everything else is like a playoff that but anyways um, I came to the south And there were people who talked like cookie who the accent is so thick That is all their words just kind of run together. Uh, arizona doesn't have one either. I don't think yeah, you're absolutely right. Um But uh, and then we went up to main But the culture shock just to the vernacular alone Going from the south Up there was even harder to get used to because they would throw our like I said in in, you know, the paragraphs They throw ours in places that don't need them like idea Uh, canada loads of other ones and then drop the ours off all the words with ours And it's like a massachusetts accent like a boston accent But to the insta grade like I can understand, you know, like when I watch goodwill hunting or something like that I've never I've been through boston But I've never actually lived there never actually talked to someone with a bostonian accent But you go up to main and it is that goodwill hunting accent just completely To the worst degree like I said um, but yes people actually and the the funny thing is I've never heard a yuh A y u h king writes it all the time. I've never heard it anywhere else but in main um, so It's it's whatever like I said if you want to keep it That's fine because I don't plan on using them anymore.  It doesn't matter. I thought it was funny, but I'm not I'm not concrete on any of that stuff But yes, they actually talked like that especially the deep the deep main is so Nina The other comment I had was uh Where is it? Where's sam? Where's sam? Yes, um I've been meaning to because Um, and I understand that they're busy and I did mention it At some point it's something you've already read. I think where he's thinking about her. Mm-hmm, but um Hey, Todd, how you doing man? Nice to see you. I haven't what's up, buddy Yes, we are writing books and Todd you'll I'll have you know that we are up to 43 000 words. So We're heading in your In your in your wheelhouse theory. I don't I don't know if it's me or you but yeah, we're a freezing We're down.  Yeah pretty much our prologue Anyway, uh Sam she hasn't um There's hasn't meant a lot of mention of her especially considering how excited she was to Like she hasn't sought him out. So Well, we've done that hit the problem right now and I knew I knew this was going to be an issue That's why I was excited to stuff them both in a box together because We haven't we haven't given Shane any time whatsoever to breathe other than him being asleep And of course, they're not going to be asleep in the same trailer while on the road So if you can and there's a there's a quick back and forth coming up I don't know if you've got there yet Where she sits down at the table with him. No, no there. So there is more sam coming Um, and she's not as much as an afterthought, but I was actually going to bring up Uh in the next couple of chapters something maybe before like we got to get to the first phone call also He's got to call Cassidy, but he's only been gone a day So maybe a time jump to something. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is perfect Carla has been snatched. So they can have some downtime After tonight to as kind of like a going away party for Carla So we can have more time, you know to get them into a place where they can so it can be just those two Yeah, okay. I just didn't want to I thought we should at least have mentioned like, uh, I see her Over there doing her thing and she waves and What did she do again? That's another reason why I haven't like She does the uh, she does the um Is it tilted world? I think so. Yeah, okay. All right. So and it was broke. It was broken down That's why she was not working on it. That's what I was about to ask. Um Thanks, Todd If you're still here, we are we're having fun. Yeah, thanks, Todd Thanks.  Well, then then the very next day She'd be busy as hell trying to get that fixed get it read, you know Reassembled um And all of that stuff. So it's I guess it's more of a logic problem Like why would she have time to you know, hang around with him? So But we we definitely need some more connection But there is the there is a section with them sitting there eating their food together And then there's a section after that with them getting stuck in a box together And then later on that night after the whole thing closes They they can they're going to do something to celebrate Carla You know to that's just what they do when someone dies when someone leaves Unless it's a matter of them doing something wrong and they're excommunicated There's always some kind of celebration of the time that they had together Okay, but I mean that's been my mindset. She wouldn't have time right now anyways because uh The only time that they that they uh that they've been together at the carnival Has been a transitional period So she's going to be working on her own thing. She keeps popping in but it's definitely going to be in fact We might even throw something in there with Shane going, you know, I've been waiting for this You know waiting for this time because we haven't you know really talked much since uh since I came back So I don't know But did you have any other ideas for something earlier? I don't I don't know Um, no, I just noticed that she hasn't been around for so long I just kind of pictured her as as um Just so excited, you know, because she was so excited and then she's gone Yeah, and um, I know that like you said, yeah, he hasn't had much time to much room to breathe but even like Didn't hasn't seen her in passing, you know, like hasn't they he was he wasn't up all night But he was up into the wee hours doing what he could do and then, you know Yeah, we can definitely pop something in there where she's like she's over by the broken tilted world And maybe you know, she's working on it or whatever and then she turns around She can just wave at him and he can wave back or whatever. I don't know. There's all different kinds of stuff we can throw in there But yeah, you're right. Um Having him see her around because he'd definitely be looking around for her constantly You know at that age you're all you're you're you're uh Not significant other but your crush is uh is all you think about is all you want to see next It's like that's how you get from one moment to another uh Even I might even do something riffing off that is like they're you know, the space in between those times is Is just waiting to be with that person again. I could probably say that better, but yeah What have we had a little a little short scene? During the where he's cleaning up the animals Because there's there's no real and this is fine. He's just he goes there Um, and then he does his job, but you know, there's no detail about what he's doing or anything And then he's gone to do the next thing and that's fine But what if while we had there she sneaks out from what she's doing just to say hi, how you doing how hard to be finished How do you think how are you doing? You know how how's you know?  So that's why he wipes it off That would even build up even more tension for that because they almost kiss twice In the box So, um, that would build up. Good. I don't because I want to I want to stress I know you said you want attention. You didn't want the actual thing.    I don't know But I do like that idea because I can see it now her leaning on the fence watching him work Um, you know just that that yeah that kind of cute scene. Um, and it was like, oh hi Kind of thing like how long you've been there? I don't know Well, I'm gonna I guess I'll write it. Okay, go ahead. I'm still looking for I don't think you're done Anyway, so hang on before before you get going. What are we doing about you want me to fix all this gibberish? Or do you want to move forward? No, you I can I can um I can deal with it. I mean I One thing one thing I do like the idea that nobody can understand them, but At the same time I hate I hate the thought of a reader like slowing down and just going What the frick is this because you can put more emphasis on Um, the fact that shame doesn't even understand them Because I feel like any or maybe I'm in the minority. I don't know but I just feel like The majority of people don't realize what you just said that that some of these people Have such a thick accent that you or accent that you like when I think of people who have thick accents That you can't understand it's like people from like Ireland like or scotland were the ones that have the real hardcore like Like what's that? Snatched that movie. Yeah, is that what it was called? Yeah, the uh, yeah. Yes. Uh, I know what you're talking about the the pikes Yeah, like stuff like that. Yeah the traveling Jamaicans In fact, I might even be a slur. I don't know anyways, but I never think of like americans Oh, yeah, dude. Oh, yeah, yeah Because I can't think of I can't think of another around a cajun state. They're talking english, too, but That shit is thick and Yes, yeah, but that's but isn't that lent from like Jamaica or something. No, it's it's well, it's french jama- it can be it can be both mostly it's french um that they get they get stuck on um, but i'm You google not google, but go to youtube and look at some thick Mainer accents like the the ones that were like born and raised or they're in the upcountry as they call it or out in the county Um, with basically it's all the unincorporated uh places those people that is just as That's it's thicker than um, then like southern folks because it's the way they drop the letters It's not like dropping the g off of anything i and g like southerners do it's yeah To some extent, um king does it in the audiobook for a bag of bones Because he narrates it and some of his stuff comes out i just It's just and some of them talk so quick.  But yeah going down to bahaba gets us out some lobster That's one of the ones it's like the one of the first things that the guy got stuck on when I came here Our car was totaled during the hurricane. So We had to go out looking for cars and that was one of the first tastes that we got of like the local vernacular We were down in tillman's corners, which is in mobile. It's a little suburb And we went out to this buy here pay here place another thing that i'd never seen before um Before moving out here the guy comes out and uh, uh, how y'all doing and we're like we're doing fine How are you doing you go god willing the creek don't rise and I think we're doing pretty good it's like What god willing the creek don't rise, you know flooding i'm like I was so confused, but it's god willing and the creek don't rise Which basically means we're doing all right As long as it doesn't flood.  I had no pills, but he was looking for pills just a dude on the street um, and we when we were living in Maine we lived in a uh It's called cozy in which is a hotel place that sells weekly rooms.  I have no idea what you mean fun Did chad say what state? That I love that I live I live in michigan if that's what you mean I'm I think that's what boggle means. There's no talent with boggle. I love you boggle My new guitar will be here today chad You bought a guitar. Yeah about the one I told the one that you said that ugly one. Yeah Yeah, but I knew I knew it was destiny when you said it was ugly I knew it was destiny.  Yes Fun or not Um, what what we can do. Well, there's only there's only four people in here now It's about to say what we can do is show people the section that I'm talking about But the only thing I will say is and and maybe you are in the minority Maybe you're not maybe more people than I realized But with the books that I write like that like a sound of broken ribs A couple of different ones where it's really heavy vernacular. Um, I get complimented on the dialogue So I I don't I don't know Yeah, new guitar day as soon as it gets in here. We're streaming. I'm gonna. Oh, I'm gonna open it on camera I was thinking maybe pennsylvania. I was gonna ask if that escape killer was close never Even if it wasn't boggle, that's not just something that you ask somebody. Hey, is that escape killer anywhere near you? Terrible boggle you're absolutely terrible. I'm gonna give Chad wouldn't bother me I'm gonna give Chad wicked anxiety. Just play along fucker.  You're supposed to you're my partner You're supposed to is there is is there an escaped killer in pennsylvania right now? I have no idea honestly I'm guessing boggle says so. No, I've got some good friends there. So hopefully uh Oh wait, hopefully what the finish that thought I don't know.  You know, hopefully they get they get murdered I don't know why that's the first place. I was like, what? Yeah, yeah, hopefully they'll give me a good story to Hopefully they'll give you a good story. Uh Good god yesterday morning is Escaped killer like they found a new serial killer or this is somebody that busted out of prison Is it the dude who literally like walked up the wall on his hands and feet like uh, they he went into like a breezeway I saw a video of this Guy went into a breezeway put his hands on the wall Then kicked his feet up behind him on the other wall and literally walked up the wall that way And that's how he escaped and he was just gone I played a video game where you'd had to do that and to break out of prison. Exactly. It's anyways, what was it? I know the game you're talking about It's the I think it was the uh, man. What was it called? It's a co-op. Yeah, I play with my wife two guys getting out of prison Yes, one's a russian and I can't remember what I know it's I know exactly what you're talking about I can even say it's not it takes two. That's a completely different right, right, right, right? That's um, we were playing that one too. It's a great way for like a couple to play together me and uh Me and shell used to play border no way out. Is that what it's called? No way out. That's it. That's exactly it. That is it Uh, I followed the live manhunts every good god Two weeks not bad. What's two weeks? They finally got him yesterday. Oh, okay. Yeah 15 days terrorizing a small community. Wow. Is that the one? Um, is that also the one that he found he broke in somewhere and found a gun? Michael school field In prison break. Yeah It boggles that the guy that found the gun like his last name was calico. He ain't they something like that Yeah, that's him. Okay. I know who you're talking about now. So dude broke out at prison Not only that but he ended up it was like the day or two later or something He broke into someone's house and stole a gun out of the house So then now not only is he on the run, but he he has a gun But i'm glad i'm glad they found him So he he didn't want his freedom. He just wanted to continue killing. I have no idea. No idea That's that's all i've gotten from it. That's a deep desire right there if that's true Oh, just to someone commented. I don't know this person don't know if they were trolling or whatever But I am kind of dark on here So, uh, the reason why I don't have my ring light on because I literally don't have room for it now I don't have anywhere that I can put it where you can actually shine on my face. So you you guys are getting shady e shade e instead of Instead of the bright faced Dude that you are used to they found him clutching the gun like he was just curled up in a ball in an alleyway like I love you gun but Clutching the gun I'm sorry. Every single time I hear clutching. I like and think of his clutching pearls He stabbed his ex-girlfriend almost 40 times in front of her. Oh, Jesus. Okay All right, then. Oh, that's uh That's something Where's Sam? Did you write anything else? Mr. Lutzki? Mr. Lutzki. No, because yeah, that's where I stopped Damn it. All right. I got to run to the restroom. I was hoping to wait for break, but it's No, I've only been I was only here 15 minutes I don't want to at least go in the restroom. I'll be back. He was laying under logs and woods He wanted in brazil for a murder too Here's an interesting video. I just saw I don't know if you can Click on that or if it's even showing up. Oh, it's not gonna uh, you might need to share your screen because um Oh, never mind. There it is. It's not gonna. Let me click it. Let me go over to youtube It's uh an audiobook narrator talking about the industry standard of the main accent and the real main accent and uh That's not it. It looks like a Matt Haines main accent. No, that's what in the hell. Oh, yeah, I'm going to the wrong thing Tim Yeah, Tim's sample is a uh is Insanely popular comedian in uh in main. There's another guy. I can't I can't think of his name, but uh, yeah, they do They definitely do more characters than uh And he's he's right. Um, but he's He's doing it slow I would think that that might depend on the person Oh, yeah, definitely. Um, you know, just like we don't we don't all Talk the same speed. Mm-hmm. Yeah Yeah Okay, um, I he he has there's a there's an issue. He's also dealing with class uh the The more affluent people talk like industry standard um, and Broke people talk more like the second one, but he's still not I don't know. Um, I got an issue with Hang on I mean, he's right about spending the days It's kind of like the word car in main has two syllables Cara He's not around many broke people. That's for sure. Well bar harbor is not It's more affluent Uh, there's a lot of there's the the comments are absolutely packed full of people from main too that Are giving input some are saying, you know, like depends on your the economy. Yeah, that's what I was talking about class Yeah, some are saying this nails it. I've been living here for, you know, two decades some, you know, I think it's Yeah, exactly. Like this one. It says it's not a thing amongst many younger manors Especially in southern Maine, but I can guarantee that accent is still around most of my uncles. Yeah, the older folks They're they're really they talk like industry standard. Also the affluent people Um, the the richer side of things talk more like industry standard and the broke people talk Kind of close. The thing is when you get to listening to them and they talk and they're talking fast like normal conversation that Ara That the r completely disappears from that from, you know, the you don't hear the r at all It's all ah, ah at the end when they're supposed to be in r So, I mean he's right, but again, like you're seeing down in the comments You know, there are people who are going to be like never heard that before in my life I've lived here all my life whatever and then you're going to have other people who are like, you know My family talks like this. I talk like that, you know, so on and so forth. That's the problem with vernacular though is that Everybody uses uses it differently. Like there's 18 different forms of like southern accent. You have texas. You have, uh, Alabama, florida, um, none of these people sound the same if you if you sit and really listen to them It's a completely different and it's all a slowed down version of the queen's english Which is funny. Um, because you know as much as they hate, you know, new england and and, uh, the uk it's if you Listen to the southern accent. You can hear the the british coming out in it But yeah, it's just slowed down slowed down british. Um Anyhow, am I missing something the only thing you got highlighted here is from a chubby guy down to gravy It was there anything else that you worked on or is that is that it because I don't see either yellow you read you read, uh The huge chunk that I had yesterday. This is this is mainly from uh Just before we logged off and then a little bit this morning. Okay Can't be playing world of warcraft or writing at the same time me. Sorry, obviously Obviously absolutely terrible of you who in the world, uh, plays so many video games. That just doesn't make any sense You're not getting anything done done. Mr. Lutz Blisky I still oh freaking, uh, jail mineheart a short story The deadline isn't two weeks Good luck, bro Righted this weekend. You got this More about living the life and having the essential Viking digs your hat Thank you viking. I dig it too. Uh, my wife does not Hahaha Looking like a stinking beach bum. What's wrong with you Chad? I bought two recently and I think she likes this one better. My other one has flaming pumpkins on it Oh, I want to see the flaming pumpkin. I want a flaming pumpkin hat. Let's see here She also doesn't like that sweet jacket that I have that everybody loves Ah, yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and get my breakout of the way you come back and just jump into this So I'll see y'all in about 15 minutes Okay, the flaming pumpkins.    So when he finally meets someone, I don't know, but that's what i'm riffing off of with k Okay, we you mentioned, you know Someone coming along to being kind of like a sidekick or someone he can confide into or whatever Um And k might be partly that I don't I don't know where I'll see where this goes No, well, I uh Hmm does it go ahead It has nothing to do with writing. I was trying to my wife sent me a message and we're doing this, uh Every year we try to have a, um Halloween bingo party And um Where we just yeah, we just play bingo at my house and we invite separate just not not very even very many friends mostly just family and um It costs so much to like get in and they cost so much for each card bingo that we play and stuff and then um We always freaking lose but whatever it's just fun and then we try to turn into like a costume thing too and the year that I bought the Dog man from the shining behind me there That's what I was going to be that year and I was going to get the the full suit and everything and my wife was going to be the, uh The the other part of that scene that um Wear a suit or whatever. Yeah, and um, maybe we could take some pictures and then um So we're doing it this year, but I was going to get something else and the two masks that I Wanted to get our uh, I just checked and one of them has I've been wanting it It's a barlow mask from Salem's lot. Yeah, it looks exactly like Like perfect and it's a hundred dollars. It's fairly expensive for a mask, but Every time I go there I've been going to the website for the last couple years and every six months. I'll pop in and See if they still have it and every time I go to add it to my cart. I get an error So I I emailed the company finally and then so I was like, well screw it. I'll get the Luchio Fulci zombie Mask from trigger street studios. They're all sold out So that that's all it was just I was taking a break to to do get that worked out, but that's cool Honestly, the party is an excuse for me to to very very slowly up my mask collection, too Cool I'm working on this Yeah, I'm working on the scene with Man, I cannot remember these characters names. Sam. I gotta stop writing so many books at the same time Is that it Is that a fender jazz? No, it is a it is a Squire I bought it for my son my youngest um It's just a cheap guitar that I paid like 125 bucks for or something Uh Is it built like a is it built like a jazz bass though? No No, it's kind of looks like the impressive thing about it is that It is well, it's kind of small, but I bought it for him like years ago Wasn't even sure if he would be into that or not Um, so that's why I didn't want to spend very much money Because then I would be pissed if I spent $400 on a guitar and he's like, I don't want this I don't want to play this So, uh, yeah, I bought him that bass and it's up here because I was laying a Bass I I don't play bass um, I mean I could I could play bass better Somebody like niki six who's making millions doing it, but right. I get I mean we can all play better than niki six Let's face it. Yeah Yes, ride that e niki. Yep ride it But no, uh, I mean if you can play guitar you can play bass not like flea, but uh, you know you can play uh bass So I was laying a bass track down because I don't have the bass and I didn't want to use The uh electronic thing even though I recently bought a midi keyboard to do just that It's just I didn't want to mess around with it. I think it's no, that's mini precision. Never mind. Go ahead He but I'll tell you what man. I bought that. I can't remember if I bought it at guitar center or amazon But I had it shipped here Dude when that thing got here it was in tune Cool and it stayed in tune for months and months you barely ever have to tune it Uh, the only problem is when I was recording There's only one little pickup on here and uh the the low ends The low end drops out And the higher strings pick up so it's very uneven when you listen back to the track so I have to uh figure out either to get a new bass or Alter the going and tweak all the levels, which I really don't want to do but yeah He he uh Finally started playing it this year cool or last year. So I bought him an amp for Christmas too, but Oh, yeah, it's just I got you But yeah, it's it's pretty it's got a short neck. It's pretty it's fairly small It's cheap. It's definitely worth 125 bucks for a starter bass You got me over here on amazon looking for anya anya is the Uh, the brand of guitar that's coming in today got me over here on amazon seeing if they have a bass they do not But I was looking to see if they had a bass to go with the guitar Anya, huh? So does that mean you can only play new age? I knew the joke was coming eventually. I knew it was coming Hey, I like anya I know one song and it's the one that was always on mtv constantly what What's that? I can't remember the name of it. I'd know it if I heard it, but I can't remember the name of it. I hadn't even heard of shektor Um So my son my other my oldest boy brought bought one and brought it over and I was like, what what is this? And it played nice I was like, I never even heard of this company before Which is embarrassing because when I did research they've been around forever And I didn't know that so I bought one. Oh, yeah, I remember when they first came out. They were a Basically, they were popular specifically For seven strings And I think that's all they had at the beginning and then they came out with basses regular six strings then like Seven eight. Well, of course I had this the sevens but then they came out with eight and nine strings and All that stuff and they were always the cheap Cheap but quality so The only guitar I ever had that I really truly miss is my Jackson Kelly I was obsessed with that guitar It was extremely hard to play even though it had a nice cut In the bottom. It was extremely heavy My mom got it for me Because she got a she got her credit card She paid off or something like that and she's like, I want to get you something And then have you like pay for half of it you teach you You know responsibility or whatnot. So she got me a Kelly And I was huge into mega death at that time and uh marty freedman played a Kelly when he was with A mega death and that was my dream guitar. She got it was like, uh, $750. It was a sunburst purple So it was like black on the outside and then the inside like, well, you know what a sunburst purple is Anyways, but that's the color. Absolutely gorgeous guitar The only album I ever recorded was on that guitar and I ended up having to sell it because I Uh, I had it all the way up until 2005 when I hurt my back and workman's comp Of course is only 66 of your income. So I had to sell it to get a I it it it retained its value mom spent $750 on it at guitar center and I sold it for 615 Um, I believe it was craig's list or whatever the equivalent was back then In fact, it might have been something like an auto trader, but not auto. I think they're called around here. They're like bulletin Something anyways, there's a certain magazine around here. It's made out of recycled newspaper And I believe it's just called bulletin board.  Um I have a it's funny because I have a $600 martin acoustic in the house. It's only worth like 50 bucks now Um, so Jackson maintains its value, but nobody wants I've been trying to sell this acoustic guitar forever and nobody wants it Um, I was not aware that the mexican Martins were bad. Um, I just knew that martin was good and uh So they uh, but the the neck is not vowed It's just the way the guitar is built To where the strings are way too high up. I guess I could file down the whatever it's called. It's not the nut It's not the nut up here. It's the that little piece of plastic on an acoustic guitar down by the bridge I I guess so the bridge. Um I thought it was called something different though. Anyways, but uh, it's you could file you can file that down I guess I could go through that trouble, but i'm so worried about Destroying the guitar by working on the bridge I mean at this point I only even play it because the strings are so so high up Yeah, but it's that little piece of plastic is called something It's not just the bridge and I can't remember what it is. Um, because you you can order them just that piece Uh, I got I think I got four acoustics, but one of them only Four four or five, but only two of them are playable And the one that I play the most is just some generic thing that my wife bought it like a flea market um I've written Probably a hundred songs on that It doesn't even play all that great and if it gets humid here Something happens to the wood inside and um, it turns into a distortion It's very strange. I can't remember the name of it Bridge pins it's a little I can't remember what it's called. It's not the bridge because the bridge is the whole thing. Yeah The bridge is the entire thing and then you have the bridge pins Um, but that that piece is called something and I can't it's driving me nuts because I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about This is uh I got a sticker over the Is it a harmony? Oh, wow Yeah, it is harmony It's not it's not great and it's I think I got it in 93 three I think Yeah, but it does not play great.  There's like half an inch Um at the 12th. Yeah at the 12th, uh, 12th fret that bad Well, mine mine is um and saddle. Thank you. It's a saddle. Thank you for the seat I know some people call it the seat too, but that little piece That was driving me nuts. Thank you viking constant y'all Yeah, I wish it was doing that distortion thing now. It would be kind of funny, but My grandson stuck a goldfish crackers in here Goldfish crackers. I thought it was a pick you lost in there because I lose I did too until I I thought it was adorable. I got them out of there and I was like, I gotta I gotta put these back in here That's great. So 20 years from now.  You know what she should do Uh, well, I don't know just in case they get moldy or whatever if they if that happens You like dump them out and then get those little plastic fish and put a couple in there Just so you can remind yourself Probably be powder One day. Yeah I'll be back. I gotta go No problem, man I love talking music Probably more than anything else except for maybe horror movies Stop apologizing viking We are professionals. We don't get distracted for long Right, I uh, I wrote that scene and Fixed a couple spots that uh, you did something added just because of some minor changes I'll go up and read it here in a second That's take my next break when I come back to finish up. Alrighty I'll finish. I'll I'll read not finish up. I'm finishing up now finishing up the chapter I'm not entirely sure if I like it. I'll probably end up changing it tomorrow, but um I feel like I'm meandering so it definitely needs to give some purpose to this section And I that I'd hate to lose everything that I've written so far right 112 pages Okay, that's good enough I'll uh In the zone No, not really. Um, I don't like anything I wrote today, but uh, I'll I'll either fix it tomorrow or I'll figure out a way to make it work I got a this chapter him kind of like just trying to set up him taking over for the bumper cars um in uh in carless stead And I don't think I like any of it, but I'll either rework it or whatever, but Yeah, we got we got pages done Scroll up here to where you are when I get back from break. I'll read whatever you whatever you've done Yeah, all right Okay, I'll be back Enjoy your food or whatever you're doing over there in the darkness More sugar or they change the sugar to some healthier sugar Probably not any of the asbestos I'm good, I only had a bowl so the the other day we were Well, my wife was in Atlanta And I was I guess yesterday of course, she liked to eat seaweed but you had like that special cave that And I was like, you know what? I think I'm gonna have a and so I went in the fridge and I don't drink at all and the milk was office spoiled To dump the milk and then I never went out Oh, then yesterday I did go out And I bought uh, it was nice. I filled my wife's truck with gas and then I bought a gallon of it because A couple of days ago. That's wasn't it. I was gonna eat my cereal because my wife was talking about oh, I got it. We got it I got to get cereal I'm almost out of cereal And I said, you know what? Maybe I want cereal because I don't drink milk at all. I don't like cold milk I don't like to get glass of milk disgusting. I also have them. I don't think I'm lactose intolerant I just think my stomach does not like Milk at certain times. Do I can eat cheese? I can eat dairy no problem. Sometimes you drink that glass of milk Not good So I was like, you know what? I want cereal But I'm not going to go in. You don't want me to go shopping I was like, what cereal do you want? I was like, you know what? Last year I bought we were at Sam's Club or something and we bought the giant like And I showed her like the blueberry and the town chocolate and like the four different boxes And I barely ate any of it. I ended up giving it to my dog Because I just wasn't in the mood to eat cereal. I could go through things You know, I don't want town chocolate And then the first thing for some reason I hit them. I was like, cookie crisp. You know what? Probably a box of cookie crisp. So she did And when she showed it to me, I'm like, this is almost like hip Like the box was smaller. The box was way thinner And I literally made a bowl and I make like a giant like a normal size Bowl of cereal and that was half the box I'm like, I hope you didn't pay a lot for this because I'm getting two bowls of cereal Anyway, I was like, I could have my leftovers from the Food I made for lunch yesterday. But you know what? My wife's probably gonna work late tonight Because she was in Atlanta, so I will eat the leftovers Tonight while I'm Well, I'm gonna watch a show about I did not watch it The only kids here I generally still enjoy is 40 couples. Yeah, 40 couples is good Cocoa pebbles is also good for me. I didn't think of those though. I thought cookie crisp and I thought when's the last time I had cookie crisp, you know The thing is I never walked down the cereal. I never think if I am walking down the cereal All interesting What's my hat? I also last night for the book. I also made a giant glass of milk And I poured a shitload of chocolate syrup The curtsy syrup in it And that does not bother my stomach. I don't know why Those types of pastels are good. There's one with little chocolate pieces in it, which almost makes me choke Yeah, I know what you're talking about. So she's a real big fan of those Of those special tastes There's always at least a box Usually two and as she sees them on sales she'll buy like four And that's what she'll eat and then like she's making me all these big fancy Hello, french meals And then she's making she's definitely looking forward to going away next To uh, to Tampa with me so she does not have to cook for me.  We didn't get Cheerios. We got like Something other those Shit, and I was like, this is not honey, not Cheerio.   Oh, okay The chances that live in seo city battle creek michigan those not in the know they have telephoto general Okay, yeah, I've decided I'm uh, I'm gonna cut everything I wrote today But I'm gonna leave it because I'm gonna build off of it.   Um, were you able to sleep? Uh Do you have to go there into it?   In fact, if you use it on an older person like, you know 80s and 90s with thin skin. You can literally tear off the top layer of skin. That's how strong that glue is Um, and she's like, oh, you'll be fine.   I guess I was talking So she kept coming over the intercom and waking me up Saying, uh, what did you say mr. So-and-so? Of course, my real name Um, and I was like nothing Nothing, and um, it did I didn't even have the presence of mind because I was so tired to tell her that um that I talk in my sleep So she kept waking me up kept waking me up and then I don't know how long This went on I have no concept of time because there's no clock in there on purpose And I turned my phone off because I had very Little battery left. I usually charge my phone overnight But I couldn't do it there because I forgot my charger So I have no idea the time frame how long that I was supposedly asleep or awake or whatever But she finally comes in and she goes um, all right, we got to put this on you. So she puts the c-path on me And the it doesn't really I don't I don't guess it the seal She's like we got to have a good seal and I'm I'm thinking to myself How I have this beard they didn't tell me to shave So I'm like it probably won't get a good seal with the hair on my face and she said Oh, that doesn't matter. Here. I am.  Um, but he's like, oh, that doesn't matter. So Um, she leaves me alone. I try to go back to sleep tossing. I'm turning I can't sleep Because I got this whole rig plus I got 30 wires coming at it every everywhere There's like 10 or 12 on my head and I stopped counting after 20. It's definitely at least 30, but Um, she got all this plus I had this wire going across my nose This little like triangle almost looks like a cowbell Underneath my nose. It's supposed to to Read my my breaths And then on top of that I have two a nasal cannula, which is basically the The oxygen tubes up in my nose So I can't breathe through my nose Um, every time I try to roll over onto my side or onto my stomach because I usually sleep on my stomach She's like, no, you have to sleep on your back. I'm like, I'm going to stop breathing if I sleep on my back I can't do that. Um, she's like, well, it's good. It's not going to read if you sleep on your stomach I'm like, okay, whatever.   Um, just because I'm so exhausted But uh, I always end up rolling over and then I'm fine Um, so throughout the night Um, I don't once again I want I keep wanting to say like every 30 minutes or so because that's what it felt like But I was asleep. So I have no idea Um, I kept waking up Gasping and having and not being able to breathe and having to pull the mask off of myself and take big breaths And then she would come over the intercom and she'd be like, uh, mr. So-and-so you have to keep the mask on I'm like, I can't breathe I can't she's like I I understand but that's what the mask is for. It's like I am suffocating It is smothering me on top of that.  So finally, uh, there's there's been several numerous times Like six times this has happened. So finally I said, can I get up and go to the bathroom?  It's so dried out.   There's no way I'm getting back to sleep now She goes she goes I I can't do that because if You don't stay here at least six hours your insurance isn't going to pay for it Um, I should have known as soon as she said the the tape on the legs won't let me drink All these things you're not going to get an accurate reading any of that stuff I should have just left But uh, it just kept on and then now the only time frame I know for certain is that She waited the very last time I snatched the mask off and I'm gasping feel like I'm dying She comes over the intercom and she goes are you ready to get up? Mr. So-and-so very flippin and aggravated. I'm like, yes Please I can't breathe with this thing on so she comes in and she's She's aggravated.  Um, I don't know what it is But she she's snatching things off through ripping the tape off of my leg Um, but when I find after all that she takes I mean, it's gotta be 30 45 minutes She's uh scrubbing the gunk off my head with alcohol All this stuff. She's cleaned me up Best she can and I'm supposed to go take a shower afterward also. Um, but uh, I turned on my phone When she's done takes my phone a couple minutes to boot up I look at it and at that time it was 503. She told me she was going to wake me up at 5 30 Um, so obviously she was just tired of me and wanted to get me out of there So later on yesterday Um that afternoon I get a phone call from them saying they have uh, they left a message because I was on a do not disturb and Saying that they had my sleep results So I call them back and the lady tells me okay, so the first Tried to sleep. You stopped breathing 82 times I'm sitting here. I'm like I stopped breathing 82 times. That's more than once a minute and somehow I still ended up dreaming about purple butterflies and a bunch of other stuff.  The the pressure was too low That's the that's what I've gotten from the research is if you can't breathe with the mask on the pressure is too low And it needs to be up Um, you're supposed to be able to breathe through your nose But the mask she had me had me wear was so tight here. All I could do was breathe through my mouth. So my Whole mouth was dried out my still I still have a tickle right here in my throat um from all that and for three or four hours after I got done Um, I was coughing. I was having problems breathing.  So, uh, she's like, I'm gonna go ahead and send your c-pap over to pro health aid You can pick they'll call you and then you can go pick it up I'm like, no, don't worry about it.  She goes I just I just want you healthy like, okay, so I call them back also my insurance wouldn't have covered Any of it unless I got the treatment that they prescribed which is the c-pap. So I decided, okay What I'll do is I will go and get the c-pap And then if I decide I can't do it if it is really as annoying as it was during the study Then what I'll do is I'll put it up on craigslist or something and just give it away to someone who actually Is going to use it kind of thing. So I got to go pick that up on tuesday, but yeah, they said uh, I have Horrible sleep apnea and I shouldn't be alive basically dang, um Which none of it makes any sense, dude It doesn't What I know medically about sleep apnea you do not dream because you can never enter you never get deep enough In the sleep to get to rea I dream all the time. It's very lucid but also like I said I sleep on my stomach And shell has been up In fact recently shell's been up playing starfield into the wee hours of the night And she said I breathe just fine, you know, I I have no problems. There's no gasping. There's no waking up You know, like I can't breathe any of that stuff. Um, she says every now and again, I'll snore but other than that I'm fine Which is complete opposite of what happened there. Um, but yeah, it was it was hours and hours of feeling like I was being smothered It was like torture and I don't I don't put that lightly. I'm not trying it's not hyperbole Exaggeration any of that stuff.  So-and-so.  I got to drop this weight.  I feel like I wouldn't be able to sleep at all Yeah, it's disgusting.  This is the worst one I've ever been too boggle It's uh, it was I was literally in fear for my life And they were just like, ah, you'll be fine. It'll be okay.  I was like, I want to do violence upon you But it's whatever Twitch still hasn't updated Still says I only have 49 followers in the achievements list Hopefully that updates pretty soon because I want to get I can get some subs in Anyways, oh, I didn't know I could do that.

Well, as I said, I think the impacts are largely going to be felt in training and again next to deployed training will still go on, but training that is not tied to immediate forward deployed readiness or next to deployed readiness will probably suffer to some degree. Maintenance doesn't mean that they still won't be doing preventative maintenance on their ships and on their stations, of course they will, but I'm talking about depot level maintenance and shipyard maintenance at private shipyards, that's going to take a hit here as we move forward into FY 13, but and then on base operating support, I mean they may see some efficiencies, commanders of bases will be given latitude to conduct certain efficient budget saving efforts on their bases and again that's up going to be up to the base CO to decide, but they may feel a little bit of but again real importantly they are not going to feel it in their wallets, their pay and their benefits are still going to remain intact.


We have spacecraft from another species. We do. Yeah. How many? Quite a number. You're kidding. No. What other than quite a number? What, more than 10? But less than five? I mean, 100 or more? I mean, quite a number? I mean, that could be anything. Why would somebody who is so clear and articulate just give us quite a number? So no numbers there. Listen, I'm already finding him more than slightly annoying and it's going to get worse. Let's see what else we got.
