Numerical Explorations

Dearest Merry B.,

I still love you with all my heart and mind, regardless of your deceitfulness, disloyalty, hatred towards me, and treachery. I was not playing love mind games unlike you, evidently, while I unconstitutionally interned and held captive for 127 days in the perdition location known as Pathways Center Second Season. I also spent and additional 75 days being an object of the voyeuristic and gossipy Troup County Jail officers. I say to hell with the new order of Stasi and KGB, you know who they are, and I don’t have that opportunity.

Merry B. note that I was also bitten by a dog on Hill  Street in the period 2009 to 2011. I had my male purse (attaché or briefcase) with me and I could have easily killed the mixed breed pooch while it was about to attack, however, I have a great deal of respect for any kind of not virulent and/or non-nefarious lifeforms. I did not have the owner of the dog put the animal to death nor did I ask her to produce a viable rabies vaccination tag or document. By the way, I bled some after the vicious and unwarranted dog bite. Perhaps I am deranged due to late onset rabies.

P. S. I just listened to Ravel’s arrangement of “Pictures at an Exhibition” by Modest Mussorgsky. I still love you and “The Great Gates of Kiev” with the gong punctuation.

Forever Love and Best Outcomes to You,

Pate

 

I only have my fond memories of my second and first female computer science mentor namely Professor and Chair of the LaGrange College Computer Science Department Dr. Fay Adcock Riddle. She will always be the physically inaccessible to me Amazonian beauty that she was when I first met her in the early 1980s. The fact that she had a brilliant, loving, and successful husband turned off my libido with respect to her immediately. I was a graduate student at Georgia Tech at that time (1980 – 1983) and I would come home to do all my computer related work in BASIC or FORTRAN IV on my old and dear computer friend the college’s Data General Eclipse minicomputer. I later found out the Dr. Riddle had been a store and advertising model for Rich’s Department Store in Atlanta, Georgia. She was just drop dead gorgeous. Dr. Riddle was the only professor that stood by me academically when I went berserk in the Fall Quarter of 1986. I made 3 F’s and 1 C that quarter. I stopped going to class a few weeks before the end of the quarter and did not take the finals. The C was in Professor Riddle’s Numerical Methods CSC 410. I will say a lot more about FAR as soon as my tears dry.

After my early morning workout (02:00+ AM) at Planet Fitness, I went to the local Krystal which is in very close proximity to my gym. I ordered a $3.00 meal which cost me $2.89 with my senior citizen discount. I could only eat one of the three hamburgers at the time (03:00+ AM). I saved two Krystal burgers and most of the fries until my lunchtime (12:01+ PM). Be careful when you microwave and eat a relatively hot Krystal burger, the pickle will burn your tongue if the burger is not cool enough.

I just returned from Synovus bank with the $12.00 that I had in my account. I left $0.65 in my account to keep the bank from closing out my account. My sister and the federal government are very stingy (penurious) with my hard-earned money. While there I was quietly ranting and raving about the U. K. royal family and the current Central Intelligence Agency which is headed by a very intelligent but in my opinion misguided female Director.

 

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland founded in 1801 by King George III and its latest incarnation should do away with the royalty and all its sub-classes of lords (barons, counts, etc.). Why in the heck do United States citizens keep up the debauchery and depravity of the current U. K. royals. We fought a revolution (1776 to 1782) and a war of conquest (War of 1812 – 1815) to rid ourselves of King George III. I am sick and tired of our younger generations’ fascination with the royal clowns of the current United Kingdom. I almost wish that Napoleon Bonaparte had won the Battle of Waterloo!

When are we going to jointly as churches and people recognize there is a severe problem of homelessness in the great little hamlet of LaGrange, Georgia? I was talking to someone too proud and thus ignorant to accept help in the form of social security supplemental income (SSI), Medicaid, housing voucher program (section 8), and SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Agricultural Program = food stamps). I only receive SSI in an appallingly small amount. The churches get tax breaks and free food from the supermarkets who receive tax breaks for their capitalistic “charity”.

Back to the homelessness secondhand anecdote. The individual in question is living in a tent and using a very dangerous form of heating namely a propane (C3H8 = three carbon eight hydrogen alkane hydrocarbon). This person and her/his fellow tent occupants could burn up in a fire or explosion or suffocate on carbon monoxide (CO). We need to address this virulent form of homelessness immediately via church and social programs and actions.

Dr. Charles D. Hudson was integral part of my development as a cryptographic computer scientist. He signed my high school diploma and both of my degrees from LaGrange College. He may have also sought to connect me up with National Security Agency way back in my turbulent late 20s and early 30s way back in the 1980s. I was 26 when I first graduate from LaGrange College in 1979 and I was 40 when I received my second more significant degree in computer science.

 

Cheap ZTE smartphone pictures from March 17, 2018 and September 30, 2018. The Chinese had ZTE phones hacked for nefarious reasons. Note the first images are from the Thread down at the LaGrange High School track and the last three are of my favorite place Lafayette Park in beautiful downtown LaGrange, Georgia, my home sweet home. Molly Hale and Investigator Jacobson, along with the other Company spooks can’t tear me away from Troup County! “Give me liberty or give me death!” The previous quote is by Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775. “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country”. The last quote is a supposed statement by the first U.S. spy Nathan Hale just before the British Redcoats hanged him by the neck until he was dead!

Today, Thursday, January 16, 2020 in beautiful downtown LaGrange, Georgia is like Seattle, Washington which is a temperate rainforest location and ecology. At least it is not foggy and raining. Little wonder why Kurt Cobain committed suicide. It is now 04:38 AM and raining “cats and dogs”. I was going to walk to the local Summit gas station to loan an acquaintance of mine who works retail my backup copy of the first Allman Brothers Band eponymous CD. It is not the CD I promised but it is handy and no further work for me!

The two organizations, namely medical doctors and the pharmaceutical industry, who brought some breakthroughs in healthcare have also done some abysmally bad things to human beings including a rash of birth defects due to the potent sedative thalidomide. Thalidomide when used in males and/or females out of their childbearing years can be a wonder drug.

One of my good friends while I was growing up at 601 Hill Street, LaGrange, GA 30241 was a thalidomide birth defect victim. Ken D. was born with thumbs on both hands., however, that did not deter him from playing sports with me and the other neighborhood kids. We also went on BB gunning missions in the wee early morning hours without the knowledge of our parents.
