Unfinished Business
(1)
I'm here from Enough... And in answer to the objection that, by simply writing about the obsessed stalker and his machinations I enable the stalker to experience the emotional rewards of 'participation,' I concur, but some things can't be ignored.
Here is more on The Book of Job.
Zaptxt looks interesting. What do you get when you type in, 'VOOT?'
Rereading the subjects from last week the only one which really connects is the one on 'glasses.' Here's the story: I recently got my eyes examined. This was more for routine health reasons than for 'vision-problem' reasons. But since I might be soon leaving Denver I decided to have a back-up set of glasses made based on the most recent measurments. Bad idea.
The examination appeared to be routine, but when the resulting glasses arrived they were not acceptable because they were not as good as my current glasses. Furthermore they produced a weird feeling in my eyes. I got the impression that one of my eyes was 'having to work' in order to focus in synch with the other eye: one of the lenses was ever-so-slightly out of focus. Both the 'computer' glasses and the 'distance' glasses had this same defect. The doctor who examined me and the technician who attended me suggested that this unacceptable situation would correct itself 'in hours or days.' Bullshit. I know enough about the visual system to reject this explanation. True, my visual system would probably adjust to the new glasses, maybe. But that would leave my old (backup) glasses incompatible. Not acceptable. They should both be interchangable.
I had the measurments redone (at a cost of 20 dollars). The new values were somewhat different, but the doctor, a Ms Juba (stomp) ( Hi there doc! yes, I promised you I would not use your name but this is war and you have unfortunately become involved. Give my regards to Anna Kosyleon, and don't forget to provide her with the blog addresses!) suggested that the new values were within the range of probable error. At the end of the second examination Dr Juba asked me to compare the new prescription to my current glasses. The result was that my current glasses were preferable.
This raises the question of where Gerashian money got involved: (1) Doctor Juba? (2) The Kaiser optics department? (3.) The manufacturer? All the world wants to know. Not me. I only want a good set of backup glasses.

All The World Wants To Know
(3)
Scarborough Country (MSNBC) has a debate going on now concerning Rash Limbo and his recent criticism of Michael J Fox's recent speech in favor of stem cell research. Too bad I'm gonna miss it.
(Just after I wrote that, Blogger went belly-up and I was unable to log back on 'til now (2122). I spent the time kicking ass on the Comcast chess net while drinking beer. The very last player turned out to be (tap) pretty good compared to the others, but proved to be no match for me. During the game I got the impression that I had White against none other than Walter Gerash, Hopeless (tap) Stalker. This dude played Gerash's favorite defense against e4...)
(Blogger went belly-up again just after I wrote that and so I created another account at Journalspace.com.)
Anyway, concerning the last game, (tap) the first few moves were, 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 (The Petroff Defense). As the game progressed I could see that although the second player knew the opening somewhat better than I did, he faded as we entered the middle game. He blundered (tap) several times in the late middle game and resigned after losing his last piece, a rook. It was a typical encounter with Gerash. I am certain it was Gerash. I think Gerash was hoping to take advantage of my booze-clouded brain. If so (tap), no joy.
Interestingly, this encounter presented me with yet another insight into Gerash's crippled mind: the Petroff Defense is Russian in the sense that Gerash's (tap) 'heritage' is Russian. But Gerash is also Jewish. Which aspect of Gerash's complex heritage bothers him the most?
