Indelicate Avenues
High Mass will be celebrated to
announce effective cooperation
with humans &, as an added
bonus, help get your banking
done. Those are now everyday e-
vents. Some are less likely. The
Maricopa County Jail facility is,
to put it bluntly, a shit hole; but
now that biofilters are removing
the sewage gas, & a freshly cleaned
painting that once hung in the war-
den’s office has been identified as
being by none other than Leonardo
da Vinci, I feel a new awakening.
