Quote for the Day:

When I asked Berkeley California’s Police Inspector in charge of rape investigation if he knew why men rape women, he replied that he had not spoken with “these people and delved into what really makes them tick, because that really isn’t my job.…” However, when I asked him how a woman might prevent being raped, he was not so reticent, “I wouldn’t advise any female to go walking around alone at night … and she should lock her car at all times.”

1. Adequate volatility this morning

but not very much this afternoon. Did manage a second day of small but nice scalps.

First week Friday I expect flat to small upward drift. It will for most purposes be over by 11 am.

2. Infuriating quote

but most men and some women won't gt it.

5. I know.

Nor do they get why it applies to this daily thread, or even in this group. No matter. I get it. You get it. A few others get it. All one has to do is write, "Yes, all men," and they are up in arms. But I get it. You get it. A few others get it . . . . . .
