A sort of euphoria, the purchase of which cannot be achieved with the combined wealth of all nations, is achieved when neighbors share a drink made from the seeds of the _Rubiceae_ bush, and combine it with a pastry derived from the meat of the _cucurbita mixta_ plant. ---

You who travel must retain a functional moral code In order to shape yourselves into yourselves since preterite time is only a farewell. Conduct good pedagogy For paternal inferno traveled past at a low rate of speed. Nourish them with your idealizations, For their chosen one is the one by which you will become aware. Never inquire as to their reasons, for their response would lead to lachrymation. Therefore merely obdeve them, exhale, and be aware of their affection for you. You youthful persons are incapable of becoming aware of the dreads which shaped and caused growth in your forebears Terefore aid them with your own age-appropriate worldview They are compelled to search for ante-mortem certitude. Give them good pedagogy The juvenile hadean state will pass at a slow rate of speed. Never inquire as to their reasons, for their response would lead to lachrymation. Therefore merely obdeve them, exhale, and be aware of their affection for you. ---

> [@Polycarp](#): > > Many harbingers of the Yuletide season may be observed in all locations accessible to you. > Peruse the brilliantly cleansed interior of the F.W. Woolworth ^ Co. local retail outlet, which has on display both peppermint sticks in the shape of a graph plotting political repressivenes against political stabilty, and self-illuminating argent boulevards. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! At that time during which you are the sole person in your vicinity and your existence causes you to feel depression at your lack of human contact, there is never a time when you will be unable to take a trip to the business district. At that time during which things are causing you anxiety, the excessive sound and bustling atmosphere appears to be of aid, I am aware- in the business district. Merely pay attention using your aural organs to the rhythmic and melodious sounds of the movement of the automobiles and people in the metropolitan area. Procrastinate atop the paved path alongside the roadways where the symbols, lit of a noble gas with the atomic number of 10, of retail establishments are pulchritudinous. What is the method by which you can fail to win? The appliances which emit electromagnetic radiation to which the ocular organs react are more intense in that place. You have the ability to dismiss the entirety of the things that cause you consternation as well as any sort of thing which might be on your mindgrapes. So travel to the business district, where all the appliances which emit electromagnetic radiation to which the ocular organs respond are luminescent. The business district, which anticipates you during the part of this day devoid of the direct light of our planet’s nearest star. The business district- you’re going to be unharmed at this time. ---

My professional activity is centrally concerned with the preliminary stages of the harvesting and processing of large, perennial ligneous growths, and I find this, and all other aspects of my life, to be most satisfactory. Throughout the tenebrous hours I reside in the arms of Morpheus, but while Phoebus climbs toward his zenith, and once more descends, I must moil continually. I abridge ligneous growths in an earthwards direction; at or near the noontide hour I consume those comestibles which are in my possession for that very purpose, and I attend the chamber of evacuation. On the day that is dedicated to the traditional leader of the mythical wild hunt, I visit the halls of the vendors, and, as the day winds toward its close, I consume quick breads o’erlain with the xanthous, semi-solid, hydrophobic extract of the lactational secretions of the genus _bos_. ```auto Still no takers for, 232, 236, 238 or 248? :( I didn't think they were *that* hard. ``` ---

Earth’s satellite reflects a lot of candelas in this nocturnal period, which is alight with similar photon fluxes emitted by other stellar bodies. The air particles moved around by naturally occurring pressure differentials are at a low individual agitation level, similar to metallic compounds in this regard. We become temporarily amorphous before settling on a distinct albeit altogether different set of morphological features. Metaphorical shout of an anthropomorphised ecosystem. You have a phobic reaction, which is reflected in your most photosensitive sensory organs: The hour is indeed more advanced you’d estimated. ---
