OK. There’s no way around this. I am blocked. Seri-ously blocked. (In a writerly way, not a Metamucil way... just so there’s no confusion.) I have started three separate columns this week that fizzled out like matches in a toilet bowl. One was a commencement address to a graduating class of high-school seniors, but I couldn’t think of one damn hopeful thing to say to them. It would have been like listening to a speech from Ted Kaczynski, the Unibomber, except without the jokes.

Another was going to be about something I found on the Internet that explored St. Augustine’s view of sin. I thought it was a rather fresh, logical and compassionate approach to understanding human failing, especially coming from a fifth century reli-gious thinker. Trouble is, it wasn’t quite fresh, logical and compassionate enough to be interesting, too.

The third attempt was meant as a response to a column by Charles Krauthammer, in which he talked about baseball soothing the soul in troubling times. I wanted to protest that any reasons my soul needs to be soothed comes mostly from guys like Charles Krauthammer. I stopped that one when I realized that the person who needed to hear the mes-sage most would never even know it was there.

They were, all three of them, desperate attempts to not write about the you-know-whos. Beyond being sick of it, I figured I had no authority to bitch about all the smothering campaign coverage since, by doing so, I was adding to the sheer volume of it. That’s like taking a trailer of trash out to dump illegally in the desert while you’re complaining about all the litter you see on the way.

After 21 years of this, I still don’t consider myself a political columnist. I prefer to call myself a “broad range cultural observer,” meaning there is no thread of inquiry in this great warp and weave of human folly that I won’t pull at if it strikes my fancy.

Then comes a week like this, when my fancy turns as flaccid as steamed lettuce. That’s why it’s always good to keep a fellow like MulletBoy around. I can always count on him to keep the words com-ing, even if I can’t. So let’s zip over to his “Randem Thinkings” blog and see what’s keeping his tongue flapping these days.

•••Whoo-EE Dawg! Me an ol’ Rip reelly got

into it good last night. It’s a good thing wes’ were drunk because we mighta started swinging on one nother if wes’ just coulda got up from the couch. Hear’s what happened. Ripster comes over like he does ever night after work, escpecially since when we started grown beards. He wants to measure who growed the most day by day, and when he’s growed moren me, he hollers, “Whoo-ee Dawg!” just like I do when I growed moren him. It’s a contest we got going on, which is who

can get to a two-foot beard before the other one. Wes’ both only up to little under two inches so far, so it’s gonna be a awhile afore we know who wins.

But last night, neether of us coud remember who’s turn it was to buy the Keystones, sos we ended up both buying some. That means we had two half racks to get through astead of the nor-mal one. Honey Bug says “Why don’t you guys save one of those for tommorrow night?” but Rip laughed at her like she was stupid and says “I don’t know what kind of famliy your’s from, but there ain’t never been a Boorfus yet what walked off an left a live beer in the frigg.”

That’s when Honey Bug says, “Well if you two are goning to sit here and get all pudding-faced, I’m gonna watch what I wants to watch on the tvee,” and she turned off the “Storage Shed Dug-gers” show what we were wachting and gets the news on. I hates to wacth the dang news unless theres’ a flood going on or maybe one oof them big soowamees like in that Japan place. Ain’t hardly anything cooler than a big ol’ soowamee wave rolling in for some beach fulla foreigners.

But turns out that last night, there weren’t no big soowamees happening. Only there was a big ol’ crowd of people listenikng to this weirdo dude flapping his hands around like he was swatting at flys and talking about how some dude names Or-rin Cee was trying to screw him outn something or other. That’s when ol’ Rip says, “There’s my dude, Cuzz!”

“Who,” I says? “Orrin Cee?” and Rip says, “That Trub boy. He’ll be the next presidnet since I’m voting for him.” Then Honey Bug says “God, that figures,”and I say, “Whats so speciall bout that Trub dude? Besides, you ain’t ever voted for nobody in your whole life.” and Rip says, “Theres’ a first time for everything, ain’t there?”

I shut up for a whiles so I could figure out what Rip saw in this Trub dude, and then I re-members where I saw him before. It was the same dude we saw that time when we went to New York City, only then we thought he was a fish-head spawrned by that monster Cathlulu what ol’ T.P. Lovecrap wrote about. I yelled out, “But Rip, that’s that same fishhead dude what we saw that time we went to New York City!” and Rip yells back, “Your’e crazy!” and I yell back to him, “Yeah it is! That’s the same fishhead what chased us.” and he yells “No it ain’t!” and I yell “Yuh it is!” and it went on like that for maybe...

OK then, it appears MulletBoy has caught cam-paign fever. So much for my intentions of avoiding election coverage this week. And it’s too late to start something new, even if I had another idea. Which I don’t. Sorry about that.

THE NIGHT MICHAEL

DIEDThe mother of police-shooting

victim can’t ‘move on’GEORGE PRENTICE

Fran Gough does most of her crying alone. Family and friends want her to “move on” or “think more positive thoughts” but she just can’t stop crying.

“My family wants me to close the book, to let it go,” said Gough, sitting at Dry Creek Cemetery in Boise. “I come out here in secret because my family doesn’t want me to be so upset all the time. You know what? I can’t let it go. They took my only…” Gough sobbed, trying to get the next three words out. “My…” she took a big breath. “…only…,” she said, breathing in deeply again. “…son.” Gough dissolved into heaving sobs.

This mother’s tearful journey dates back to Feb. 16, 2015, the day her son Michael Casper was shot and killed by Boise police. The incident triggered national headlines in a year that saw an unprecedented number of Americans killed in police-related shootings. Casper’s memorial service at the Idaho Building on Feb. 23, 2015, attracted so many mourners that dozens of people had to line up outside along Eighth Street to pay their respects. On the one year anniversary of Casper’s death, a few dozen of those same people gathered to light candles and lay flowers at the scene of the shooting. On March 12, Casper’s ashes were spread across the Dry Creek Cemetery scattering garden.

On a recent April afternoon at the cemetery, Gough sat by herself.

“I’m just not done mourning,” she said, tears running down her cheeks.

Above all, Gough said, she just wants answers, but there were plenty of questions surround-ing the mysterious circumstances leading up to Casper’s shooting death. The Critical Incident Task Force conducted a lengthy investigation and the city of Boise’s Office of Police Over-sight performed its own review. In short, those reports exonerated BPD and laid the blame on Casper, saying his actions “placed his neighbors and responding officers in extreme danger” and led BPD Officer Jason Green to fire at Casper, killing the 26-year-old. Casper, who had no adult criminal history and no trace of drugs in his system, had been drinking in the late night hours leading up to the predawn shooting, but there are conflicting accounts of his behavior that evening.

An autopsy revealed Casper’s blood alcohol con-centration was high that night: .262.

ADA COUNTY DETECTIVES / CITY OF BOISE OFFICE OF POLICE OVERSIGHT: ‘CASE CLOSED’

The investigation, headed up by Ada County Sheriff Detective Shellie Strolberg, was intense. The reams of reports filed by Strolberg were filled with scores of interviews and references to hun-dreds of pieces of evidence. They also revealed that by the end of her investigation, Strolberg was re-ferring to Casper as a criminal not a victim. When she filed her final amended report, dated July 17, 2015, Strolberg wrote, “This case is cleared by exception. Michael Casper committed the crime of Attempted Murder of a Police Officer.”

The city of Boise later agreed. In one of her first critical incident investigations as the city’s newly-hired director of the Office of Police Over-sight, Natalie Camacho Mendoza, wrote there was “no need to conduct any additional investiga-tions of this incident.”

Nowhere in Mendoza’s oversight examination did she make any reference to the fact that the last person to see Casper alive was Chris McIntire, the stepson of a BPD officer. In Detective Strolberg’s reports, she makes only one passing reference to McIntire’s link to BPD.

“I was also informed that he [McIntire] is a stepson of a Boise Police [the officer’s rank and name were redacted]. [He] was not involved in the investigation,” wrote Strolberg.

In the days that followed the Feb. 16, 2015 shooting, McIntire agreed to, then rejected, then

agreed to, then again rejected our request to talk with him about the mysterious events leading up to the shooting death of Casper, someone he called a “dear friend.” Immediately following the shooting, McIntire posted on his Facebook page: “If anyone has questions…please contact me,” even adding his personal phone number. When asked for details, McIntire said he wasn’t comfortable talking about what happened. Fol-lowing Casper’s highly-emotional Feb. 23, 2015, memorial service—which triggered some fallout between McIntire and Casper’s family—McIntire told us, “OK, you want to know what happened? I’ll tell you,” but said he would only talk on his own terms. When we asked for clarification on some of his claims, McIntire refused to elaborate, insisting he was cooperating with the official investigation into the shooting death of his friend.

SO, WHAT DID HAPPEN THE NIGHT BEFORE?

A review of investigators’ reports revealed that in the late night hours of Feb. 15, 2015, McIntire had asked Casper if he could stay the night at Casper’s apartment, which was on the 3000 block of Malad Street on the Boise Bench. Shortly after McIntire got to Casper’s, the two headed over to Jumpin’ Janet’s on Vista Avenue, arriving at the bar at around 9:30 p.m. McIntire told investigators he and Casper played pool and drank beer. McIntire said after “about a pitcher-and-a-half of beer,” Casper started acting “strange” and “irritated.” When Ada County Detective Jared Watson later interviewed a bartender who was

DEATH ON THE JOBSome Idahoans are literally worked to

death, something the survivors of the 13 Gem State workers killed on the job during the past year know all too well. Those survi-vors joined with Idaho labor and faith leaders on a spring morning May 1 to honor those who died as part of Workers Memorial Day. The abundant sunshine lit Boise’s Fallen Firefighter Memorial that Saturday morning, a stark contrast to the grim and often lonely deaths of those being remembered.

One by one, labor leaders read 10 names:

• David Moreno, 36, killed June 1, 2015, at a Jefferson County Idaho dairy when a feed trailer turned over on top of his ATV.

• Ambrose Smartlowit, 18, died June 8, 2015, when he succumbed to heat stress and dehydration on his first day on the job, picking weeds at a Nez Perce County ranch.

• Terry Sonner, 33, died of a heart attack June 10, 2015 while on a training run in Elmore County. He left behind a wife and five children.

• Douglas Cook, 33, killed June 11, 2015, at a Shoshone County logging camp when he was struck by cable yarding. He left behind a fiance and son.

• Junior Romero, 35, killed July 9, 2015, at a Cassia County dairy when he was pinned against the wall of a storage con-tainer when stacked construction materials fell. He left behind a fiance.

• Seth Glenn, 22, was killed July 25, 2015, at a Caribou County exploration site when he was crushed by a drill rig.

Jesus Guadarama, 52, died July 27, 2015, at an Eagle farm when his ATV rolled over.

• Bill Schmadeka, 55, was killed August 28, 2015, at a Shoshone County logging camp when he was crushed by a cable yarder.

• Francisca Gomez, 63, was killed January 20, 2016, at a Canyon County seed plant when her hair was pulled into a conveyor shaft. She left behind a husband and eight children.

working at Jumpin’ Janet’s that night, the bartender said “they both appeared to be having a good time and neither of them seemed agitated or upset.”

According to the reports, McIntire said he and Casper returned to Casper’s apart-ment at around 12:15 a.m. on Feb. 16, 2015. McIntire told police Casper was getting increas-ingly upset, at one point staring at McIntire with an “empty death glare” and saying, “I wanna knock you out. I kinda wanna hit you.” McIntire said he eventually decided to go home, leaving Casper’s apartment around 1 a.m. He later texted a couple of friends, writing to one, “Casper is a psychopath. I had to leave,” and to another, “I literally almost had to choke him out because he was getting violent.”

Days later, McIntire would say he had no idea what happened after he left Casper’s apartment. McIntire went to work the next day and didn’t know about the shooting until the following evening when he drove to Casper’s apartment and discovered police on the scene. In her reports, Detective Strolberg wrote that McIntire later told her the “normal, clearheaded Casper wouldn’t have done something like that in a million years. After seeing the version of Casper he saw the night before, he wasn’t so surprised.”

THE SHOOTOUTA call came into 911 at 1:23 a.m. on Feb.

16, 2015: “My neighbor is smashing his front window. You guys need to get here immediate-ly,” the caller said. BPD Officer Jason Green, a six-and-a-half-year veteran of the force, was first on the scene, arriving 10 minutes after the call came in. Green said he heard glass shattering and then shots being fired from Casper’s resi-dence. As he approached the apartment, Green spotted Casper holding a gun. According to the report, Green yelled three times for Casper to drop his weapon. Casper “shouldered” the weapon as if to fire. Green fired three shots. Green said Casper then “forcefully shoved the barrel of the gun out the window.” Green said he fired four to five more shots.

By then, a SWAT team, along with officers from the Ada County Sheriff’s Office, Merid-ian police, Idaho State Police and Garden City police were on scene, all assisting Boise police. Neighbors were evacuated and police tried to enter Casper’s apartment—the door couldn’t be opened all the way because, in the doorway, a shirtless Casper was lying on his back, dressed in shorts and one sock. A chainsaw lay in his lap and a black Remington 12-gauge shotgun was under his left leg. There was a large pool of blood under his body, his chest was smeared with blood, and he was bleeding from two gun-shot entrance wounds under his left arm and two exit wounds near his nipples. One of the shots had perforated his left heart ventricle, and there was damage to his right lung, diaphragm

and liver. The trajectory of the holes was later linked to bullet casings found on the floor of the apartment. Crime scene investigators said they discovered eight spent shells from Officer Green’s weapon along with shotgun slugs, pellets and evidence of rifle rounds being fired from inside the apartment. Investigators later found that multiple shots had been fired into a driveway, a camper, vehicles, fences and houses across the street from Casper’s apartment.

A COMMUNITY MOURNSEmotions were running high at the Feb. 23,

2015 memorial service for Casper.“Whoever was with him that night he was

shot should have stayed with him,” Casper’s sister, Amanda, said at the memorial, her voice rising. “None of this would have happened.”

In the weeks and months that followed Casper’s death, questions mounted and stones were overturned. Boise Weekly’s reporting on Casper’s shooting death even earned its own subsection in Strolberg’s official investigation report. Strolberg dubbed the section of her re-port: “Boise Weekly Article,” referring to a Feb. 25, 2015 story in which we chronicled Casper’s memorial and spoke to several sources, all named, who had questions regarding the then-ongoing investigation. In her report, Strolberg made reference to an interview with a friend of both Casper and McIntire who told us he had his own theory regarding the incidents that led to Casper’s death.

“The theory is contrary to the evidence, but I wanted to talk with [him],” Strolberg wrote in her report, adding that she looked at Casper’s

cellphone and Facebook page to find contact information for the man we interviewed but couldn’t find any, so she didn’t follow up. Boise Weekly was never contacted for information.

On Oct. 22, 2015, the Boise Police Depart-ment and Ada County Sheriff’s Office said they were ready to close the books on the Casper case. On the same date, Twin Falls Prosecuting Attorney Grant Loeb, who was brought in to conduct an outside review, wrote to Ada County prosecutors, stating no criminal charges should be filed against Officer Green as a result of the Casper shooting. Boise Police Chief Bill Bones added that Green “likely saved others from seri-ous harm” and was “defending the neighborhood and arriving officers from active gunfire from the suspect.”

Casper’s sister, Amanda, says that’s reason enough to stop asking questions.

“Let’s not bother Officer Green anymore,” Amanda said Feb.16, 2016, the one-year anniver-sary of her brother’s death. “Michael wants us to be happy now. He wants to see us go on with our lives. Let’s not bring up the investigation again.”

Fran Gough couldn’t mark the anniversary of her only son’s death the same way. It’s why she keeps returning to Dry Creek Cemetery where, on March 12, she summoned enough courage to release Michael’s ashes in the cemetery’s scatter-ing garden.

“I started to spread his ashes, and I quickly realized that I needed to run his ashes through my hands, to touch him one last time,” she said, beginning to cry once more. “I think that’s when I realized Michael was really gone. But my crying? How do I stop that?”

• Ruperto Carrera, 38, was killed February 16, 2016, when he drowned in a manure pit at a Mini-doka County dairy. He left behind a wife and large family.

Three more names were added to the memorial list, including two members of the Idaho military who died stateside: Navy Ensign Gage Theard, 24, of Coeur d’Alene, and Navy Corpsman William Lambert, 24, of Hayden; and Coeur d’Alene Police Sergeant Greg Morris, 43, who was shot and killed May 5, 2015.

“Today we remember all of them,” said Leland Heinbach, president of the Idaho Chapter of the AFL-CIO. “These people did not have to die.”

The AFL-CIO’s annual report, “The Toll of Neglect,” indicates 150 United States work-ers die each day from hazardous working conditions.

“The biggest thing in common with all of these deaths? They could have been prevented,” said David Kearns, director of the Boise office of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, who spends his days investi-gating many of the incidents.

Of the 10 Idaho deaths that OSHA inves-tigated over the past 12 months, Kearns said five of the victims were particularly vul-nerable because English was not their first language. National OSHA records indicate that Latino workers are at greater risk, with their job fatality rate being 9 percent higher than the overall U.S. job fatality rate.

Heinbach, who spends his days fighting for workers’ rights as part of his role with the Boise Central Trades and Labor Council, said even thought union membership may not be high, it’s still ultimately important.

“Our nation is built on the dignity of its workers,” he said. “We all must be involved in that cause.”

According to the official report from Ada County detectives: Officer Jason Green yelled three times for Michael Casper to drop his weapon. Casper “shouldered” the weapon as if to fire. Green fired three shots.

Keepin’ the party jumpin’.

When local pub mogul Jason Kovac decided it was time to renovate Grainey’s Basement, he gave it a complete overhaul. From the ashes arose Crowbar, a chill, modern EDM club. Never content to sit still, Kovac and his team have updated the bar’s music options now, too, adding Gin and Juice Thursdays, a weekly hip-hop night. Manny “DJ Manek” Ferrer and Matthew “DJ Orracle” Orr will share DJ duties, usually alternating weeks, spinning old-school late-’90s to early-2000s hip-hop.

“To me and a lot of people, that was the golden age of hip-hop,” Ferrer said, and when asked for an example of three tracks he might play in a row, he added, “I like to start a little bit rough. I would play, like, Ice Cube’s ‘Friday.’ From there, I would blend that into Wreckx-N-Effect’s ‘Rump Shaker,’ because it has a similar beat style. During the breakdown, I would mix into N2Deep’s ‘Back to the Hotel.’ Those songs are classics that people remember and go crazy for.”

There’s no cover at Crowbar on Thursday nights, the (drink) mix masters will be slinging specials and the DJs will spin what Ferrer described as “the party, make-you-want-to-dance hip-hop.” Snoop D-O-double-G would probably agree.

Because every rocker needs a rockin’ pic.

Tucked away in the basement of the Alaska Center are two organizations that have formed an unusual relationship: Radio Boise and Allan R. Ansell Photography. During Treefort Music Fest, Radio Boise invited bands visiting the City of Trees into the studio for interviews or performances.

“They were all very open to it,” Ansell said. “We just had fun.”This First Thursday, don’t miss Ansell’s portraits of Treefort

bands Rabbit Wilde, Everyone is Dirty and Light Thieves, and get your own portrait taken for free. Later, swing by Radio Boise dur-ing open studio night.

Both the games and robot are part of the Boise Codes project, said librarian RE Zickau. “It’s kind of the beginning of learning the logic of coding,” she added.

Everyone dressed as their favorite character goes home with a free Star Wars comic book from Captain Comics (while supplies last). Plus, members of the 501st Legion: Vader’s Fist will be on hand and in uniform for photos.

5-8 p.m., FREE. Boise Public Library, 715 S. Capitol Blvd., 208-972-8255, boisepubliclibrary.org.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 4

A tale of romance and transformation. Romansformation.

HOMEGROWN: VIRGINIA WOOLF’S ORLANDOVirginia Woolf’s 1928 novel, Orlando, was always ripe for adapta-

tion to stage and screen. Unlike other “big” novels of the ‘20s like James Joyce’s Ulysses, Proust’s A Remembrance of Things Past or Robert Musil’s The Man Without Qualities, Woolf’s tale about a young Renaissance Englishman turning into an ageless woman during a Turkish revolt (long, exquisite story) is eminently suited for visual media. Sally Potter’s 1993 film adaptation starring the eminently androgynous Tilda Swinton is perhaps the best known, but there’s also MacArthur Fellow Sarah Ruhl’s 2003 stage play, which will be performed by HomeGrown Theatre at Ming Studios through May 7. For $5-$10, you can catch one of the finest stories about gender, love and time ever told.

8 p.m., $5-$10. Ming Studios, 420 S. Sixth St., 208-949-4365, mingstudios.org.

WEDNESDAY-SATURDAY, MAY 4-7

Give and ye shall receive...or at least ye’ll feel good about yeself.

IDAHO GIVESThe first Thursday in May is like a Gem State holiday in which

everybody gets to play Santa. Now in its fourth year, Idaho Gives Day is a seemingly bottomless well of goodwill toward nonprofit organizations—last year, nearly 9,000 unique donors contributed more than $1 million to Idaho charities. Again this year, nonprof-its will host events to prime the pump while telling their unique stories. Among the highlights is a Downtown Boise Cultural District Arts Block Party: Ballet Idaho, Boise Art Museum, Boise Contem-porary Theater, Boise Philharmonic, Boise Rock School, Idaho Shakespeare Festival and Opera Idaho will entertain inside and outside the Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy, 4-7 p.m.—but the giving goes all day.

4-7 p.m., FREE. 516 S. Ninth Street, 208-345-9116, donations accepted all day for all nonprofits at idahogives.org.

THOMAS PAUL, MAY 5, THE RECORD EXCHANGE

There is a lot of variety to be found on Singalongs (Thomas Paul Music, 2016), the newest album from Boise musical renaissance man Thomas Paul, but if you’re looking for a blanket description it would be “dreamy soundscapes.”

Entirely instrumental, the 10 tracks on Singalongs range from the meditative to the unabashedly cinematic. “Intense Scene For Stanley Kubrick To Direct” achieves its cinematic goal, building momentum from a mellow but insistent bass line that supports a melange of noodly electric guitar and fluttering flute riffs. By the time the song ends with a cymbal crash, it’s surprising just how intense the “scene” had gotten. “Game On” skips with a tick-tock cadence that evokes a sunny afternoon walk before picking up the pace for a triumphant series of scales that crash away in cymbals. The song resolves with ghostly voices talking about recording at The Modern—presumably a reference to the fact that Singalongs was, in fact, recorded between 5 and 10 p.m., May 7, 2015 in Room No. 242 of the Modern Art show. Other standouts are “Look!”—a simmering tone poem that features atmospheric violin work—and “Thrift Store Noir,” with the ominous, sax-driven vibe of its eponymous genre.

Join Paul for an in-store appearance at Record Exchange Thurs-day, May 5 to celebrate the release of Singalongs.

DEAD WINTER CARPENTERS, MAY 5, REEFThe Dead Winter Carpenters are as comfortable in the dance hall

as they are considering lost love, sin, guilt and cultural madness.The first track on the North Lake Tahoe, Calif. band’s newest

release Washoe (Dead Winter Carpenters, Feb. 2016), “Mid-night Ghost,” kicks off with a rambling lead in that calls to mind Creedence Clearwater Revival, complete with the lonesome howl of a steel guitar. This is music you would expect to hear in a place with sawdust or peanut shells on the floor. “Love Amongst Thieves”—an ode to partners in crime—carries a hustling country rhythm through-out, but throws in some strings to smooth out the jive. The lyrics ease in overtop with a hint of Dylan, both in lethargic style and pithy substance, with lines like, “You laid the bait and I made the switch.” “Good Old Time” is an anthem to excess that opens with the decla-ration: “wine, whiskey, weed and women got a jones in my bones,” combining the toe-tapping quality of “Love Amongst Thieves” while jumping back into the barroom evoked on “Midnight Ghost.”

It’s not all roadhouse rock, though. “If I Wrote You a Song” is a tears-in-your-beer ballad about heartbreak, while “Winning Hand” is straight up funky and “North Wind” is a wailing apocalyptic rumina-tion on national disintegration.

TOTEMS OF TOMAS: LOCAL ARTIST ‘GREW UP’ WITH MODERN ART

For his room at the upcoming and final Modern Art event, Boise Weekly ex-pat Tomas Montano reflected on his experi-ence as a Modern Art exhibitor.

“For me … Modern Art [has] allowed me the ability to combine my four loves: poetry, visual art, music and film. In a way, I’ve sort of grown up—as an artist, anyhow—with Modern Art,” Montano said.

Always one to use unconventional materials or methods, Montano took photos of paintings he made over the past 10 years and digitally deconstruct-ed and reconstructed the works into bold new pieces, printed on a laser-cut wood paper substrate. His exhibit, iTotem, is comprised of 44 works, one for each year of his life, all imbued with both his past and his present. For Modern

Art, 11 of the new works will be framed and accompanied by an explanation. Like life’s moments, his images are fleeting and, for all 44 of Montano’s works, what is on display is the only print—he will delete the digital files.

Montano said Modern Art has been instrumental in helping him forward his artistic growth, leading to his work being chosen for the Modern Art “Infi-nite Scroll,” which will hang outside for a year; an upcoming show at Gallery 518 and, although not for the first time, a cover of BW.

“Although I lament the passage of an artistic era in Boise’s counter culture, I celebrate and honor these past nine years and must simply and logically conclude that all good things must come to an end—and so it goes—on to the next thing; the next creative movement of like-minded art-heads in this, our beautiful City of Trees.”

—Amy Atkins

ARTS/EXTRA

MODERN ART TAKES A

BOWClosing the door on nine

years of Boise’s most diverse art eventAMY ATKINS

“Art” is a strong word for what often serves as decoration in hotel and motel rooms, but in May 2008, the Boise community was intro-duced to a whole new way of looking at hotel art when about a dozen local artists were each invited to transform a room in the not-quite-1-year-old Modern Hotel—a kind of work of art in itself—into a mini-gallery. Not sure what to expect, everyone involved in the event was surprised when nearly 1,000 people showed up. The next year, Modern Art was born. With artists turning all of the hotel’s rooms into exhibit spaces and thousands of people attending the annual one-night happening on First Thursday in May, Modern Art quickly became one of the most anticipated and best attended art and cultural gatherings in Boise. Organizers, though extremely proud of what Modern Art became, realized it wasn’t infinitely sustainable—it takes a toll on the small hotel staff and turning away guests who want to book rooms that week isn’t sound business—so, going out on a high note, Modern Art 2016 will be the final hurrah. What the event has done for the area arts community, however, will have a long-lasting effect.

Modern Art actually started as an innovative

way to market the new boutique inn, but there was an even more valuable inspiration behind the concept.

“We [the Modern Hotel] were looking for ways to be involved in the community,” said Modern Art organizer Kerry Tullis, who was one

of the artists featured in the inaugural year. “The arts com-munity was a natural fit.”

Tullis couldn’t have been more right. Both burgeoning and established artists took to Modern Art like a brush to

canvas as visual artists, musicians, writers, per-formers and artists of every ilk filled rooms with new and interesting sights and sounds, tapping the community’s vast well of creativity. Modern Art also encouraged enterprise and, each year, artists successfully experimented with different genres, styles, media, materials, etc. Many artists, like painter Troy Passey—who has had a room at

Modern Art since the beginning—even created work specifically for the event.

“I have some work that I’ve only shown at the Modern,” Passey said. “Then it’s never been shown again but for that one night,” adding that he also enjoyed joining in the “spectacle” of the event.

“This is like a ‘normative holiday’ for an intro-verted artist,” Passey said. “I embrace it.”

Though the final Modern Art will be a bit-tersweet affair, the event will go down in local history for having accomplished something not easily done.

“There were connections made by artists who saw what one another were capable of. I think lots of collaborations and germs of ideas have come from that,” Tullis said. “Even the artists them-selves have seen one another differently, and I think it has been very invigorating for a lot of the artists. … [Modern Art] was a real shot in the arm for the arts community.”

L-R: Robert , Kerry and Elizabeth Tullis are a Modern family.

When it comes to a body count, Game of Thrones has nothing on the May “upfronts,” gather-ings held by network execs for advertisers and press where the bloodletting that kicks so many corpses to the curb to make room for fresh meat happens. To date, no fewer than 34 series have been canceled this year, and another 25 shows have announced this is their last season. That’s nothing, though, compared to the network TV shows waiting for the executioner’s call. Critical darlings such as American Crime Story, Castle, The Muppets, Nashville, Quantico, The X Files reboot, and The Grinder (which is set in Boise) are all still “on the bubble.” News of their fate is expected to trickle out as the networks prepare to unveil their 2016-2017 schedules later this month during their so-called “upfront” presentations to affiliates.

Making matters worse, the space on network schedules will shrink even further during the next TV season. NBC has already announced it will fill another primetime slot with pro football on Thursday nights—this is in addition to NBC’s hugely successful Sunday Night Football, which is still the highest rated weekly broadcast on net-work television. This commitment to Thursday night football means no room for as many as three to five primetime comedies or dramas.

Perhaps the most intriguing part of how net-work executives gauge the success of a television show is no longer the Nielsen ratings. Instead, networks now rely on something called “Same-Day Plus DVR” metrics, which means a TV show might be able to make significant audience gains when adding the number of people watching the show three- and as many as seven-days later via

a DVR. Here are some examples of how some shows benefit or lose out when factoring in DVR viewing:

ABC Quantico, the “is-she or isn’t she a terrorist” drama, more than doubles its audience share when DVR+7 ratings are adding in, vaulting the show three spots into the network’s top 10.

The Muppets, conversely, drops a whopping four points out of ABC’s top 10 due to how few people watch the program via DVR.

CBS The Big Bang Theory is even bigger than first thought, nearly doubling its audience share when DVR+7 ratings are tacked on (the show is already, by far, the network’s highest rated show).

FOX Scream Queens is an out-of-gate major success, doubling its audience with DVR+7 ratings added in, propelling the show four full slots into the network’s top 10.

NBC The Blacklist is usually the network’s seventh highest rated show, but when its significant DVR+7 numbers are added, the show jumps to the No. 2 slot.

The future of traditional broadcast networks is quite literally up in the air. With cable-cutting now a full-tilt national pastime, network execu-tives are banking more of their futures on reality or live (i.e. sports) programming—but even the savviest programmer knows that there are only so many stars to dance with, so many songs to sing and not enough islands on which one can be a survivor.

Is she or isn’t she a terrorist? More important, will Quantico be canceled or is it safe for another season?

BALANCING ON THE BUBBLEThe DVR+7 rating is the secret to network TV success

Payette’s new brewery is a big deal.

DECADENT AND

DEPRAVEDFor the Kentucky Derby, here are three whiskeys

to put in your mint julep rotation

ZACH HAGADONE

No one has written more eloquently of the mint julep than Hunter S. Thompson. Quoting gentle-man of leisure “Jimbo” in his definitive piece on the horsiest hullabaloo in history, The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved, the Louisville-born Thompson reported, “‘Goddam, we gotta educate this boy. Get him some good whiskey…’”

Consider us educated, but let’s back up. Noth-ing is straightforward when juleps are involved.

In honor of the 142nd edition of “the greatest two minutes in sports,” set to take place Saturday, May 7 at Churchill Downs, a handful of thirsty Boise Weekly staffers bellied up for a Friday afternoon exercise in decadence with a few rounds of Kentucky aqua vie muddled with homegrown Kentucky mint and served in traditional pewter julep cups and some lovely long glasses featuring Southern belles on swings. (We’re apparently the kind of people who own an excess of vessels).

The julep is easy to concoct: two ounces of bourbon, a teaspoon or two of simple syrup, three sprigs of crushed mint, crushed ice and water, built in a highball glass or, if you’re a true Kentucky Colonel, in the aforementioned pewter cup. A dense metal, pewter holds a low tempera-ture once chilled, making it perfect for a hot May afternoon at the track. Make no mistake, the julep is a day drink meant to signal you don’t have a damn thing to do but sip whiskey and watch horses run in a circle.

For our tasting, we sampled three premium bottles: Old Forester 1870, Old Forester 1897 and Woodford Rye. These are serious whiskeys, none clocking in lower than 90 proof and all with a price tag above $40. If you’re going to drink a mint julep, you best go big. Even better, we mixed our drinks with locally produced Simple Snow mint syrup (facebook.com/simplesnowboise). This Boise company deserves its own article, but here’s the shorthand version: Begun as snow cone business, Simple Snow syrups come in a range of flavors, from cranberry and grapefruit, to vanilla bean and, of course, mint.

The latter variety has a fresh-cut scent and tastes sweet without being cloying. Because

Simple Snow uses no additives, corn products or artificial flavors, it goes down without a hint of saccharine. In other words, it’s the ideal accessory to any cocktail needing a hit of sweetness.

Old Forester 1870, $44.95—Weighing in at 90 proof, there’s an astringent quality to the nose but overall, this bourbon has a sweet, baked-caramel scent or, as one taster said, “It smells like a muffin.” It is remarkably clean for its proof and pours a “velvety orange-brown,” according to the tasting notes. Old Forester hails from Hunter Thompson’s hometown of Louisville, Ken., and is billed as “America’s first bottled Bourbon.” The 1870 is a tribute to that first small batch, using whiskeys from three different barrels of varying ages and stages of proofing. The result is a viscous, somewhat spicy tipple that dissolves neatly into a baked, almost raisin flavor. It’s a special bottle.

Old Forester 1897, $49.95—Like its older sister, the 1897 comes with a storied past. Its pedigree derives from the year the Unites States enacted “bottled in bond” regulations, ensur-ing standardized quality assurances. Part of the “Whiskey Row” series, this is the second expres-sion of historic whiskeys in the Old Forester line. Sipped straight, it has a sweet caramel aroma simi-lar to the 1870 but pours a darker amber. Robust and biting—owing to its 100-proof character—the 1897 is almost Scotch-like in complexity. It goes down smoother than a high proof whiskey should, with a roasty aftertaste that sticks in your mouth. Looking for personality in your Bourbon? You got it. As one of our tasters put it, “One sip of Old Forester and you know his bio.”

Woodford Rye, $45.95—Because mint juleps are so beloved, there is debate about what kind of whiskey should be used in the mix. The Old Forester varieties represent a deeply traditional form of Kentucky straight Bourbon: wheat-based and smooth. Rye is generally considered a no-no when it comes to the easy drinking julep, but this

90.4-proof expression from Woodford—a well known name in premium whiskeys—is a fascinat-ing choice. Rye whiskey has enjoyed a heightened popularity in recent years with its spicy, acerbic bite, and Woodford’s new-to-the-market foray into rye does not disappoint. Comprised of 53 percent rye, 14 percent malt and 33 percent corn, it presents with a fine botanical bite that chills the tongue. Smooth and well balanced, it’s almost as if mint is already infused with this Bourbon. It fades nicely, making for a superb sipping rye—an accomplishment in its own right.

Bottoms Up: We made juleps with all three whiskeys and, damnit, it was hard to rank them.

The Old Forester 1897 is a smooth sipper but doesn’t quite hold up in the cocktail. The oils from the muddled mint mixed with the Simple Snow syrup and water simply overpower its relaxed nature. We’d suggest drinking this one on its own, perhaps with a couple of rocks.

The Woodford rye presents a triple-mint bite and mixes well, but results in a minty iced tea flavor that is pleasant but lacks the seriousness of a well-built julep.

The winner was the Old Forester 1897. The big, bold 100-proof sharpness bursts through the mint profiles while carrying a sense of sweetness and hiding the burn. The Simple Snow syrup inhabits the drink rather than defining it, and evens out the oily spice of the fresh mint. This is a whiskey that plays well with its fellow ingredients and remains dangerous as hell, “Which is how I like it,” said one of our tasters.

Winning recipe: 3 mint sprigs, 2 oz. Old Forester 1897, 2 tsp. Simple Snow mint syrup, top with club soda.

Bonus: Add 1 tsp. Simple Snow grapefruit syrup and enjoy a chilled-out pineapple upside down cake.

Even if betting on horses isn’t your thing, you can’t lose with these whiskeys.

PAYETTE BREWING’S NEW DIGS: THE BIGGEST BREWERY IN TOWN

The look in Mike Francis’ eye was one of de-light, as he pressed a button and an insulated shutter door dropped from above, sealing what will soon be an enormous walk-in refrigerator. “It’s like Star Trek,” said brewery owner Francis.

The walk-in refrigerator—large enough, Fran-cis said, to roll a forklift into—is one of many improvements at Payette Brewing’s huge new facility at 733 S. Pioneer St. near River Street. A larger, more accessible walk-in is a leap forward for beer storage, and one of Francis’ favorite improvements. Boiseans got a taste of what’s to come from the hometown brewer’s new endeavor on April 29, when the tasting room opened to the public. The new brewery is a natural extension of Payette’s rapid growth since Francis founded the brewery in 2010.

The tasting room—within easy walking dis-tance of the Boise Greenbelt—is spacious. The tables are each stained with a unique emblem while the metal seats have been welded with the Payette Brewing logo. No detail has been overlooked when it comes to ambiance, but the main feature is the bar and its row of 20 taps. Besides Payette’s core lineup of beers, it will serve up seasonals, monthly “Ales of No Return” and collaborative brews, and patrons can buy six-packs from a nearby refrigerator.

Additionally, the tasting room opens into a courtyard that may soon feature seating and games like horseshoes. The brewery doesn’t have a kitchen, so nearby space has been made available for multiple food trucks.

Behind the scenes, the new brewery oper-ates on a 60-barrel system and is capable of brewing 40,000 barrels of beer every year. According to Francis, more equipment could be moved into the 32,000-square-foot facility to increase that to 100,000 barrels a year. Payette’s original Garden City brewery operated on a 15-barrel system and now can produce 10,000 barrels of beer yearly.

Production at the new location is expected to begin the week of May 16. After that, Payette will continue to use its Garden City facility for specialty and cooperative beers. Its most popu-lar beers, like the Mutton Buster Brown Ale and Rustler India Pale Ale (formerly Outlaw IPA), will remain continuously in production.

“We hope to not have any hiccups,” Francis said.

Kansas has produced a long list of presidential contenders from both sides of the political aisle—including Bob Dole, Gary Hart and Alf Landon—and Dwight Eisenhower, a hugely popular U.S. president who had no political party affiliation before running for office. As The New York Times’ Chris Suellentrop wrote, “Kansas politics have always been touched with a spirit of the avant-garde and the unorthodox.”

“I remember politics being a dinner conversa-tion subject quite often,” recalled Dr. Jaclyn Ket-tler, who grew up in a small Kansas farm town. Today, as a political science professor at Boise State University, she inspires those conversa-tions. On Wednesday, May 4, at the Boise Public Library Hillcrest branch, Kettler will guide the public in a presentation on women in politics, focusing on the 2016 election campaign.

Have your classes’ studies paid any particu-lar attention to the Idaho Statehouse?

It has been wonderful to have current and ex-legislators come to class as guest speakers. Plus, we’ve examined a few pieces of legislation.

Such as…Well, the instant horse racing bill for one.

[The 2013 Idaho Legislature legalized instant horse racing gambling machines only to rescind the law in 2015]. Our class talked a bit about the process, and we looked at who was donating money to lawmakers.

If a citizen wanted to follow the money, where would you point them? The Federal Election Commission?

The FEC has really improved its website over the years. For state and local politics, I recom-mend FollowTheMoney.org. I don’t believe one donation directly impacts how an elected official generally acts, but looking at who they’re getting money from might reveal what a politician’s priorities might be.

How might you gauge your student’s en-gagement, or lack thereof?

What I see is their frustration and their feeling that there may not be too many options for them. That said, I also see a lot of students involved in politics, even if they’re not actually voting.

sGive me an example.Volunteering. A lot of my students’ political

engagement is issue-driven rather than through a particular political campaign.

The two clear frontrunners in the race for the White House are Trump and Clinton, yet they’re also shackled with the highest unfavorable ratings in modern history.

But one of them is going to win.

I’m intrigued that here we are in 2016, yet some pundits still refer to American women as a “voting bloc.” Isn’t that a myth?

The research shows that if anyone is a bloc recently, it’s men but even then, it’s too huge a group to consider homogenous.

I would be remiss if I didn’t ask about Mr. Trump’s recent comments implying that if Mrs. Clinton was a man, she would lose by huge margins, even within her own party.

At this point, it’s not surprising to hear anything from Trump. I don’t think his argument persuades a voter one way or another. Plus, Clin-ton can use Trump’s rhetoric to her advantage.

Do you have a sense of what Mrs. Clinton learned from her loss eight years ago when she was soundly beaten by Barack Obama for her party’s nomination?

Some of her attacks in 2008 fell pretty flat. Ad-ditionally, her 2008 campaign took its presump-tive support for granted. Her messaging this year seems to come across a bit better.

What are your go-to media sources when you’re searching for political reporting?

The New York Times and Washington Post. The Monkey Cage blog at the Post is particularly great.

And broadcast media?My husband cut the cable last year when we

got mad at the rising cost of cable television. We don’t watch too much TV.

On Election Night, who might you watch?Maybe PBS.

True to your Kansas roots, safe choice.

BOISE WEEKLY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Silence is not silence, but a limit of hearing,” writes Jane Hirshfield in her poem “Everything Has Two Endings.” This observation is apro-pos for you. There are potentially important messages you’re not reg-istering and catalytic influences you can’t detect. Their absence is due to a blank spot in your awareness or maybe a willful ignorance left from the old days. Here’s the good news: You are primed to expand your listening field. You have an enhanced ability to open doors of perception that have been closed. If you capitalize on this opportunity, silence will give way to revelation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your ability to accomplish magic is at a peak and will continue to soar for at least two more weeks. When I use that word “magic,” I’m not referring to the hocus-pocus performed by illusionists like Criss Angel or Harry Houdini. I’m talking about real feats of transformation that will generate practical benefits in your day-to-day life. Now study the following definitions by writer Somerset Maugham, and have faith in your ability to embody them: “Magic is no more than the art of employing consciously invisible means to produce visible effects. Will, love and imagination are magic powers that everyone pos-sesses, and whoever knows how to develop them to their fullest extent is a magician.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to author Vladimir Nabokov, the Russian word *toska* means “a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restless-ness.” Linguist Anna Wierzbicka says it conveys an emotion that blends melancholy, boredom, and yearning. Journalist Nick Ashdown suggests that for someone expe-riencing *toska*, the thing that’s yearned for may be “intangible and impossible to actually obtain.” How are doing with your own toska, Gemini? Is it conceivable that you could escape it—maybe even heal it? I think you can. I think you will. Before you do, though, I hope you’ll take time to explore it further. *Toska* has more to teach you about the previously hidden mean-ing of your life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Gandhi’s autobiography is on my pillow,” writes Cancerian poet Buddy Wakefield. “I put it there every morning after making my bed so I’ll remember to read it before falling asleep. I’ve been reading it for 6 years. I’m on Chapter 2.” What’s the equivalent phenomenon in your world, my fellow Crab? What good deed or righteous activity have you been pursuing with glacial diligence? Is there a healthy change you’ve been thinking about forever, but not making much progress on? The mood and the sway of the coming days will bring you a good

chance to expedite the process. In Wakefield’s case, he could get up to Chapter 17.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the 16th century, European explorers searched South America in quest of a mythical city of gold known as El Dorado. Tibetan Buddhist tradition speaks of Shambhala, a magical holy king-dom where only enlightened beings live. In the legends of ancient Greece, Hyperborea was a sunny paradise where the average human lifespan was a thousand years and happiness was normal. Now is an excellent time for you to fantasize about your own version of utopia, Leo. Why? First, your imagination is primed to expand. Second, dreaming big will be good for your mental and physical health. There’s another reason, too: By envisioning the most beautiful world possible, you will mobilize your idealism and boost your ability to create the best life for yourself in the coming months.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Anytime you’re going to grow, you’re going to lose something,” said psychologist James Hillman. “You’re losing what you’re hanging onto to keep safe. You’re losing habits that you’re comfortable with, you’re losing familiarity.” I nominate these thoughts to serve as your words of wisdom in the coming weeks, Virgo. From an astrological

perspective, you are in a phase when luxuriant growth is possible. To harvest the fullness of the lush opportunities, you should be willing to shed outworn stuff that might interfere.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): On cracked.com, Auntie Meme tells us that many commonly held ideas about history are wrong. There were no such things as chastity belts in the Middle Ages, for example. Napoleon’s soldiers didn’t shoot off the nose of the Sphinx when they were stationed in Egypt. In regards to starving peasants, Marie Antoinette never derisively said, “Let them eat cake.” And no Christians ever became meals for lions in ancient Rome’s Colosseum. (More: tinyurl.com/historicaljive.) In the spirit of Auntie Meme’s expose, and in alignment with the astrologi-cal omens, I invite you to uncover and correct at least three fabrica-tions, fables and lies about your own past.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Charles Wright marvels at the hummingbird, “who has to eat sixty times his own weight a day just to stay alive. Now that’s a life on the edge.” In the coming weeks, Scorpio, your modus operandi may have resemblances to the hummingbird’s approach. I don’t mean to suggest that you will be in a manic survival mode. Rather, I expect you’ll feel called to nourish

your soul with more intensity than usual. You’ll need to continuously fill yourself up with experiences that inspire, teach, and transform you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Anybody can become angry,” said Greek philosopher Aristotle. “That is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.” I’m pleased to inform you, Sagittarius, that now is a time when you have an exceptional capacity for meeting Aristotle’s high standards. In fact, I encourage you to honor and learn all you can from your finely-honed and well-expressed anger. Make it work won-ders for you. Use it so constructively that no one can complain.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): To celebrate your arrival at the height of your sex appeal, I’m res-urrecting the old-fashioned word “vavoom.” Feel free to use it as your nickname. Pepper it into your conversations in place of terms like “awesome,” “wow” or “yikes.” Use a felt-tip marker to make a temporary VAVOOM tattoo on your beautiful body. Here are other enchanted words you should take charge of and make an intimate part of your daily presentation: verve, vim, vivid, vitality, vigor, voracious, vivacious, visceral, valor, victory and VIVA!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When he was a boy, Mayan poet Humberto Ak’ab’al asked his mother, “What are those things that shine in the sky?” “Bees,” she answered mischievously. “Every night since then,” Ak’ab’al writes, “my eyes eat honey.” In response to this lyrical play, the logical part of our brains might rise up and say, “What a load of nonsense!” But I will ask you to set aside the logical part of your brain for now, Aquarius. According to my understanding of the astrological omens, the com-ing days will be a time when you need a big dose of sweet fantasies, dreamy stories, and maybe even beautiful nonsense. What are your equivalents of seeing bees making honey in the night sky’s pinpoints of light?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Sometimes, a seemingly insignifi-cant detail reveals a whole world,” says artist Pierre Cordier. “Like the messages hidden by spies in the dot of an i.” These are precisely the minutiae that you should be extra alert for in the coming days, Pisces. Major revelations may emerge from what at first seems trivial. Generous insights could ignite in response to small acts of beauty and subtle shifts of tone. Do you want glimpses of the big picture and the long-range future? Then be reverent toward the fine points and modest specifics.

#boiseweeklypicFINDBUSHCRAFT BUSHBOX

Among the most important pieces of equipment for any backwoods adventurer or outdoorsy type to have is a reliable, lightweight stove—and we can thank the Germans for designing one as efficient as it is low-tech.

The medium-size Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox, which was

introduced in Europe in 2012, comes out of its small canvas bag as a pile of stainless steel plates about a half centimeter thick and weighing about 9.5 ounces. Assembled by connecting a series of nifty catches and sliding plates into various slits, the Bushbox stands about 4.5 inches high and has a grill, ash plate and trivets on which you can put anything from a frying pan to a single cup of coffee.

There are no moving parts, no gas tank, and in keeping with its German engineering, it’s about as elegant as a steel box can be. The heat source can be an alcohol burner like Trangia or fuel cube like Esbit or a campfire of twigs will do just fine.

People go camping to get back to basics, and this stove couldn’t get much more basic.

DEAR MINERVA,If you are married, is it appropriate to have “massage clients?”

Sincerely,—Good touch. Bad touch.

DEAR TOUCH,The thing about marriage is there really aren’t any universal

rules. Rules are set by the couple. No matter the relationship, someone has to be bringing home the bacon. If that means they have massage clients to meet the household needs, as long as everyone in the relationship is fine with that, then it matters not. Since you wrote “massage clients” I can only assume you must mean the kind of massage clientele who seek services above and beyond deep tissue and shiatsu. I am not here to moralize. As a human being, I leave those choices to the discretion of those providing such services. Perhaps if one has been given the gift of a healing touch, then maybe—just maybe—they should use that gift in whatever way they see fit. It is easy to sit back and judge what should or shouldn’t be happening. Factor in economic situa-tions, supply and demand, a different point of view, a freer mind, sexual liberation, and the fact that many people whore them-selves out for next to nothing just to survive long enough to die, and it becomes clear to me it is none of our damned business. All good stories should have a happy ending—sometimes, so should massages. Mind your own business, and your life will be much happier, my darling.
