Communique #6 The BIG Story



I’m just coming In from my walk:
The BIG news today, a house in the neighborhood that just went on sale. (The house had recently been purchased, followed by a multitude of workmen, painters everyday for weeks.)  Is it a flip house, or what’s the story here? 
>Reporting here from the house that just went on the market.   I’m speaking to a gentleman from the neighborhood,
 “Really shocked, the house was just purchased”.  “And it has just been painted”. 
> “Sir, Do you know the owner?” 
“No, I've only spoken to him a few times.  I know they have two children”.  


>The house is on the market with an unusual firm, Caldwell Banker Bain.  The house previously sold for $1.6 Million and is on the market for $1.8.  With Spring coming the heather is very colorful. The landscaping looks great.  
Here’s another neighbor.
>“No, I don’t know why they are moving”.
There is only speculation at this hour about why this family is moving.
Reporting from the neighborhood, Michael Cannarella

This is a developing story, stay tuned for updates.

[1]  Tasters were sometimes coerced. [2]  Over history, presidents and royal families have hired food tasters or sacrifices, over fear of being poisoned.  Queen Durdhara , the  Mauryan  empress, ate food that was prepared for her husband and died. [3] Adolf Hitler 's food taster  Margot Wölk  tried the food at 8:00 am every day, and if she did not fall ill the food would be sent to Hitler's military headquarters. [2]  President  Vladimir Putin  has hired a food taster who is part of his security staff to protect himself as well. [3]  In recent times, animals such as mice have been us...

Communique #12

I wake up in the night, feeling warm with a dry throat and wonder if I have the virus.  I dismiss it and go back to sleep. But, there are more cases now than ever.  The normal that one might want to achieve seems farther and farther away.  We are at an extended existential moment.  The future is unknown. I suppose this is more realistic-- thinking one knows the future is an illusion, and yet culture, our culture plants the seeds and creates the markers for this illusion that the future is secure, corollary, one is safe and immortal, this against all evidence.  I suppose my surprise at how strong ideology is, some who are able to deny the science of the virus, is not that different then this culturally propagated belief, the future is known and secure. The pandemic brings this belief into question and we can call it existentialism.  No, the future is not known, so get over it.  Life is a fragile gift, we don’t know what happens tomorrow....
