make up their mind which direction to go. Paper hogs are acting just like real hogs, they just keep going back to the same corner, just as you get them headed the direction you want them to go. Once or twice is acceptable but Dec hogs just seem to be in love with that 64.00 number.

With real hogs I would have thrown the hot shot aside and would be grabbing something heavier to try and knock the stubbornness out of their head. That never worked either and usually ended by inflicting physical pain on myself. After I had used every word of foul language, along with some new ones, and repeated until my voice was gone, it would be time to walk away or suffer a stroke.

It's a good thing we have no physical control over the paper hogs or I would be on the verge of doing what I always seemed to do with the real hogs. I really don't care to revisit that way of trying to make things happen. I'm sure I looked more than foolish in most of those attempts. For some strange reason, these memories surfaced as I was trying to make sense of WHAT'S GOING ON. It has been bothering me the last week as to the perception change of down to up from most through the country. This is usually a bad omen when the train I'm on has very few occupants. Then all of a sudden I find it so crowded and becomes uncomfortable. Now I have all sorts of shadows and hallucinations to deal with.

The technical picture of the last 2 weeks is in trouble if hogs don't climb back up to 66.00 to end the week.
