    Glad you liked it…I would add that those guys were always respectable men in my view. Tough when the situation called for it, but never mean…they were focused on business and did a professional job. Not like the drug gangs of today with their wanton violence.

    Stumpy is a literary invention. A foil or mirror. Mark Twain – see his collected short stories and you’ll discover similar people, or, for that matter both Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer…The model, well, the name, borrowed from the history of the Jewish Mafia in Hollywood…”Stumpy” Zevon…the history says he supervised the bookmaking racket for the Mickey Cohen gang, which was actually pretty genteel (most of the time, Mickey said “I never killed no man that didn’t have it coming.”  …and I think that’s true. I myself briefly had a part time job working for a Cohen group bookmaker – the front being a profitable liquor store…). Stumpy worked from his office at the Asbestos Paint Company – a storefront on Melrose ave, (iirc). Not very far from Larchmont avenue, and the studios…lotta studio folks bet on things. In the invented Stumpy’s world he has a bar, trailerpark, marina, etc… just outside of a fictitious town, “Anoxia”….there are fictitious cops too, on Stumpy’s payroll, naturally. And fictitious businesses and imaginary highways and rivers and lakes… Travelers stop by and say things that get quoted, as do Stumpy and the fellas. And yes, Stumpy, the real guy, had a son, Warren Zevon, alas gone too young.  There’s also a mob fixer…but the reality is that I dated that guy’s daughter…so he’s not spoken of…she’s probably still living….and most people never knew he was a fixer. Interestingly, most of these men grew up in Boyle Heights, a then fairly poor Jewish neighborhood…and the sheriff (not sayin’ which sheriff!) was in their gang…one reason Mickey managed to mostly stay outta the crossbar hotel…until the feds (I think it was the feds) went after him… Warren Zevon died young, probably from playing in the asbestos in the back of Stumpy’s store…  A detail, not only was the mob close to the cops, it was also close to the State Bar…but that story is going to stay unspoken. Anyway, the imaginary town and county of Anoxia is my invention, and a wall to bounce off of….hey, people have fun… 😉  Old guys spend lots of time in memories of when they were kids…a kid in Anoxia. When Truman was prez, and the army was in Korea… a million years ago. Take a few key-words from the story and sleuth ’round the net…most or all of what I’ve said you’ll find in detail… and have fun too.

    The evident “business model” of Playboy never made financial sense. The covert model does.

    They did have pretty girls, but the girls at a neighborhood beer joint were just as cute, and less professional…often just friendly in an honest way…and the beer was cheap. Even so, beyond a kiss or two, I never took any of them home… Men I knew did, and regretted it…false paternity claims and worse! Now then, sign up for classes in literature and one meets a better class of ladies…often married and thus safe, sorta… But only sorta… Anyway the married ladies don’t make paternity claims! (watch out for the ones that are shacked up with cops!… I know about that!…and passed on the offer! 😉  )

    Amateur scientist…long 40 minutes…and fascinating! https://youtu.be/KDRnEm-B3AI Making Infrared Cooling Paint From Grocery Store Items (w/Novel CaCO₃ Microsphere Synthesis)

    Brings the “whited sepulchres” gag up to speed and understanding…great lecture and chemistry.

    The principle is to radiate through the atmosphere in just the right frequency of IR…with a special pigment…and learning via experiment how to make that pigment…the result is passive cooling below ambient air temperature… I note that in some solar power and heat engine systems an improvement in system efficiency could be had.

    Geewhiz, a coincidence…”According to the news Agency AFP are all Eurostar trains between London, Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels failed. The company’s National Rail, the rail companies coordinated in the United Kingdom, appealed to potential passengers to change their travel plans and to move possible bookings to another date.” Sabotage? Well, the fellas doing maintenance are often poorly paid, and sometimes abused…maybe they “gun-decked the logs” ….. or maybe God is just having fun…I’ve seen both…Chaos nach Stromausfall im Eurotunnel: Zugverbindung Paris-London massiv gestört — RT DE

    “technical” is a funny way to say they don’t have the cash… Well, that’s what Stumpy says… 😉  He himself always collects and pays his bets in 20’s…and keeps his old goose gun handy…

    Some may think this UVB76 transmission suggests that somebody is about to get it…I do…

    Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Just Played On Russia’s Doomsday Shortwave Radio Station

    “Western military analysts associate UVB-76 with Russia’s military communications and strategic command infrastructure. It reportedly remains operational as a fail-safe in the event that satellites, fiber, or cellular networks are disrupted.”

    Xpostcomment
    One of the most striking technical difficulties and feats of Swan Lake is that the same dancer plays Odette and Odile, the pure, innocent white swan and the seductive, manipulative black swan. It shows that in every pure soul there is also a subconscious evil force, which, when provoked, emerges and takes control of consciousness.

    If the transmission does mean action, we’ll know soon enough…it’s gettin’ late in zone 404…and just turned 19:00 in London….

    Ahem remember a doctor of psychology who specialized in “reforming” the sons of wealthy families– said sons having been seduced into the joys of sodomy. He claimed to be an expert in converting the unfortunate boys to a healthy heterosexual condition…while in fact their counseling sessions aroused him  to a passionate state…or so he said…circa 1967….
