Rembering the SS and the SA

I've finished reading 1998. It is mostly about my pet rats. It is also about the beginnings of my realization that 'we' were being gassed, and that this might have been going on since 1997. It is also about the dawning realization that I was becoming allergic to my pets. Those two processes proceeded in parallel, (faint boom) masking each other to some extent, but by the beginning (boom) of '99 it was clear they were separate and distinct afflictions requiring separate fixes. As I reread these notes it seems to me that I might not have been the primary target of the gassers, that my pets were the primary targets, and I became the primary target only after there were no more pets.

I noticed another thing about 1998: I was much more of a writer back in those days. I have deteriorated since then. Back in those days I was brilliant and funny in spite of what was going on. Today I just plod on between doing this and playing C-III and watching tv.

I only just read the beginnings of 1999 and noticed that I invented the name 'Strangelove' to describe el fisho. This suggests that the previous descriptions of maul harrassment were erroneously placed pre-'98. I say this because I remember naming those folks who tried to run into me in the maul the SS (Strangelove's Servants). I also remember describing those maul security folks who confronted me as the S.A. (Southglenn Army). So as I write this it seems that those confrontations are in our future, blogwise.
