The tombs of dead laughter admisdt the unwelcoming confines of California darken my dim memories of shared laughter. My soul yearns for the sanctuary of sanity along the ocean shores. Mark Izzy Schurr Picture was Schurr Shot in Trinidad, Calif., in 2021.

In 2012s novella, "Parable," the Silver Surfer is perceived as the evil alien to Earthlings and his cosmic creator, the devourer of world's Galactus sets out to destroy our blessed planet. Galactus could pulverize the entire planet with a mere thought, but his treaty with the Silver Surfer prohibits him from doing so.
Galactus is literally a giant with colossal powers and feasting upon entire planets is how he maintains his god-like powers. From the very beginning of "Parable," Galactus descends upon the Earth and presents himself as a god, and when a power hunger evangelist claims to have summoned him to Earth, the people of our planet cling to him like Trump supporters absorb lies.
As a preacher of Galactus, I say he is the way and the wonder. Heed his prophet, I sing his true glory.
"I come to set you free from guilt. If you would be saved, do what you will, take what you will. There is no sin. Pleasure is all," so speait Galactus. (Lee / Pollard)
Looting, pillaging and plunder become the new order of mayhem on earth as people blindly follow their new god.
"Who can know when reality ends and legend begins? Do we not see with our hearts and minds as well as our eyes? Galactus plays God, having pledged not to slay Earth by force, but by guile," the Silver Surfer said.
To no surprise, the Silver Surfer, nor the Earth is destroyed, but via Chrome Dome's wits, and not extreme cosmic violence, the planet and the people are saved. With that being said, "Parable" has many intriguing elements for a fascinating story, complete with lust and romance as cosmic entities battle each other.
"I shall never cease searching for an oasis of sanity in this desert of madness men call Earth," the Silver Surfer said.
After the Sky Rider of the space ways thwarts Galactus, he is forced to confront the evil Mrrungo-Mu who calls himself the Enslaver. He's enslaved entire planets and when he comes for our planet, Chrome Dome is pitted with a rage within his soul I've never read before.
Rookie narcotic officer, Jake Hoyt, (Ethan Hawke) is being street trained by senior officer Alonzo Harris, sagaciously portrayed by Denzel Washington. Washington takes $1 million in cash from a $4 million drug bust and splits the money five ways with Hoyt and three other cops.
The storyline is straight forward gangster life on the mean streets of a major American city. Hoyt, (Hawke) quickly questions his methods for trying to be promoted to detective, and "Training Day" delivers its conflicts and resolutions with a powerful punch.

There were brains arms and legs all mixed together, and some of the men were on fire and moaned before all 12 Charlie Company soldiers died in Jan., 1970, after being blown up accidently because a mortar was mishandled, U.S. Infantryman, Jan Scruggs said.
Author, Elizabeth Partridge interviewed medics and infantryman for 2018s, "Boots on the Ground America's War in Vietnam," and provided some very good photos of this horrid and pointless war.
The above picture was taken in 1966 of Claiborne L. Shaw. Shortly after this picture, Shaw was killed.
I acquired "Boots on the Ground" from the Cloverdale library. It's a quick easy read, and Partridge touched on many of the political issues.
Protesting the war in Vietnam while also advocating for civil rights was a major obstacle for Martin Luther King Jr., from both the black and white politicians. I learned this from reading "Boots on the Ground."
