The only people that one directly hears from

     Well let's see the people that you directly hear from these days were people that you knew some decades past, that you don't bother to talk to at all really, and generally you could care less to hear from.  To be included in that list are the potential jerks (polite language) that are likely drafted to see what you are up to or in promotion to historical revisionism, then wording as opposed to altered past.  In that history, the children lived happier, the school on paper looked more integrated at least urging in that day that multiculturalism weren't dead.  Those days you if you were lucky to be one of the rare sops to be struck down and beheaded by a meteorite, red scare tactics just didn't amount to a hill in beans, nut jobs aside, but the school, unlike in the revisionist version, wasn't really a good school, nor well administrated, parishioners likely made it difficult, and likely the school as a microcosm weren't really Catholic, but more the politics of its generation, a hodge podge mix of fascist children taught in that day and age to be the sick sorts of sops that grew up to be, really in a sad white 'rule' city that carefully positions itself not to look to 'southern' sympathetic...you sort of wonder how many urban Lebowski achievers grew up deserving for the token hand outs...Couture?!  How's the business buddy?!  I know its all about the entrepreneurs, these days Kansas City talks about its in retrospect likely maligned vision of Silicon Prairie or in so many words investment boondoggle, white elephants if you dared attend one of those funny mustache wearing meetups somewhere along the line, or really someone else's start up, but the good news for Kansas City is that, among the nation's top list of most dangerous cities (not Southern enough), formal crime statistics may not have made it as obvious, or if you thought Turkmenistan was beautiful with your head really up your ass, by all means.  But fortunately for us all, a Kansas style bridge gate public works scandal  is something for a Roberts re election.  I always about declines in commercial traffic for any length of time?!
