Two notes and a rant

 Minnesota has it in for their governor.

Apologies in advance for this overlong link, and I recommend You google it on your own.
But for at least a year, they've been trying different tactics to smear the guy.

(link) 

If they can successfully, maybe a republican can be elected. Maybe then they can swing the presidential vote, maybe then they can take over the world, etc.

"this isn't about politics", some republican senators wrote. 
Geez.

Maybe the governor needs a $300,000,000 ballroom.

If the next President turned it into a VA - hospital-annex, who could stand against him??

They need a decent looking hospital anyway

Government waste is entrenched, it's institutional.  
But it's hard to explain and would require many pictures.

And on a related subject, why is that hospital so incredibly huge?
(No, not the "VA" above, looking a LOT like a certain motel I recently was incarcerated in)

50 foot ceilings.
It's "Non Profit".

Why did they dig up all the trees and the plants to turn around and put more trees and plants?
Um, it's part of the contract (for the non profit)

Why do bird-sounds suddenly appear when you're near in the subway station?
The benches, like antique suitcase-trunks?

Someone got a zillion-dollar contract, that's why.

There's this hospital, with a hallway so long, so large, facing a window on one side, but with no doors, that absolutely everything inside your house would fit, and your neighbor's house too.
If there was some imaginary future plague, um, or if best buy started selling iPhones in it, 
They could accommodate a thousand people (we're still talking about a hallway.)
I keep thinking, the hallway is sort of an anti-gunman tactic (maybe) or they had a leftover zillion to fatten up the building.

What the hell should they spend all those donations, grants and contract-money on?
Gardens, Fat buildings.

There's this dream I had... in part one, the landlady went shopping, and left me in the parking lot.
It was unsuccessful waking me up.
Part two was about working in an enormous hospital so incredibly large that I got lost looking for the employee-infirmary, which was (apparently) being demolished, and the stairways to get there, sealed-off.
The receptionist in the 100ft-high, football sized reception area was a temp and had no idea where this "infirmary" was, but you could see in the distance, large demolished areas of walls where it might have been.
I don't make this stuff up!!
OK, my dreams do, but still.

just testing.
WE will control the horizontal, WE will control the vertical.
Sit quietly and read this while we fool with your eyes.
