More Fun With Capital Punishment
Wednesday found me again down at the state archives poring through capital punishment records. Usually the forms are pretty dry, with the type of crime filled in with words like "murder," "operating a car while intoxicated," or "breaking the prohibition laws." But once in awhile, for some reason, some clerk will have a spasm of verbose creativity. The best of these I found today was "operating a farm truck under the influence of whiskey."
I found I good place to live I can afford. I filled out an application for it today. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Some different fingers than the ones you have crossed for me about the job I haven't heard about yet.
Finally got all my grades today, graduation Saturday, I really feel like I'm done.
Quote of the Day:
When a man journeys into a far country, he must be prepared to forget many of the things he has learned, and to acquire such customs as are inherent with existence in the new land; he must abandon the old ideals and the old gods, and oftentimes he must reverse the very codes by which his conduct has hitherto been shaped.
--- Jack London, In a Far Country, 1900.
