As a child in Inglewood my home had two enormous Avacado trees, Avacados fell to the ground like raindrops during the peak season and we picked up bushel baskets of them every year.
20 years ago I drove by my childhood house, you know what those stupit a.holes did? They CHOPPED THEM DOWN..
625 West Olive, Inglewood Cal if you don't believe me. Go look at it.
One ...[text shortened]... people did to my birthplace, I was lucky to just walk by it and take a look without getting mugged.
Your house has quintupled in value since '88. Imagine if you hadn't sold it! Who did you sell it to? Blacks? Corporate investors?

Actually I was thinking of 521 East Arbor Vitae, she bought it (I think) for 24,000 dollars in 1957.....the Olive address came later...Thank you for the photo, yes, that's the house we moved into when I was like 13 years old...

In which direction, though?

Looking forward to your beating upon me with your little tanbo sticks again -- I could use some Iron Bell / Iron Shirt practice. 😉

@AThousandYoung

Thank you. To me he looks enough like that guy from Velvet Underground that it reminds me that I haven't even cracked upon that other guy's book about the Tai Chi of the Straight Line or something like that. It's still near the top of one of my reading piles, though, I promise!

Also, I think Xi Jinping (despite his mistakes in recent years) and the PRC in general have been playing a longer game.

Have you ever considered attempting to be less judgmental and combative?

I have, but with only occasional success. 😉

Please see the edited post above.

Also, may the Light of Christ shine forth from your forum posts.

😉

P.S. -- Perhaps it could be that you are the sister I never had [thank goodness for that! (and apologies to my stillborn older sister E.)] but I do appreciate you and your posts in my own way. Hoping things are good with you and yours. 🙂

Try following the conversation.
"Story is sacred." -- the late Pat Conroy.

"A time of lively conversation is a great time to write [fiction/a novel]." (sorry that I could not find the accurate quote) -- the late Pearl S. Buck.

However, on the way to finding that quotation, I thought maybe it would be better to suggest her quotations in general, for those who might be interested in looking them up.

Have you ever considered that what you have suggested could be considered anti-free-speech and therefore Anti-American?

P.S. -- This is starting to seem like some kind of adversarial form of speed-dating. 😉

(And to certain people placing bets -- no, that will never happen.)
