Howdy, I have been away for a good while. I have been spared by a power greater than myself. I was arrested for defending myself, after being attacked in my home. While visiting, "down the hill" as they, called it. (An over crowded establishment). I got an infection in my leg, may be due to the shackles placed on my legs, so tight it broke the flesh. By the way, I was dressed in underwear only, until the fine officer, allowed my son to get me a pair of clothes. Shoes, pants (my son's), and shirt (my son's). I couldn't button the pants and the shirt reached my belly button. They were nice enough to allow me to wear a orange jump suit labeled property of the fine establishment.
While enjoying my stay, I got an infection in my leg called cellulitis. I never knew, until then, how serious it could be. I became sick, and relieved myself in that fine garment I wore. I was taken before the judge, while smelling myself, feeling nauseous, and feeling like I was in a fog. I somehow manage to agree to terms I can't recall, and was released.
Bless the heart of the trustee that came to see me out. He was going to help me carry my borrowed items back to where they were stored. He thought better of it, after reaching down to a urine soaked mat. He wasn't unkind to me truthfully. I seen the distain in his eyes, but he saw sickness in mine and had mercy. This gentleman was an African American man, who will forever be in my prayers. I only said this due to the common belief of racism in southern u.s.a. I wanted to show he was human. I seen a video recently that shook my core, It is 2019, "why must I prove I am a man!" I am in tears as I remember it now. I am a Europeandecent male,by the way. Forgive my punctuation, I'm what some would call a hill Billy, maybe a red neck. I got crypto dreams, and I drove a pick up truck, but it's gone, my children, gone taken by protective services while incarcerated, and my stay in the hospital after being released. Home, gone. I must say, I still have my soul.
Now I lay here beside my grandson. I was going to talk about lynx wallet and other crypto related things. His smile has ripped this device from me.
