Attempts to enter Rebecca's house and further investigate the white trunk have been hindered. Workers have been re-paving the driveway and painting the outdoor of the building. I have intercepted her mail, but do not dare dwell inside her unit lest I incite suspicion.

I have been busy regardless. The Winter Olympics are on television almost constantly, and I confess to enjoying them and discussing them at length with fellow Zerbedas via an internet forum Zerbeda 11279 established for the purpose of real-time information exchange. All of us agree, the extent to which humans can push their bodies and psychologies toward achievement is astonishing. Human physicality far exceeds anything we experience, and seems to me a gift, one that most humans do not appreciate nor employ. To have a body capable of so much strength, speed and flexibility must be a great joy. It is unfortunate that in the short life spans humans possess, most choose to use their bodies for fat storage instead of sport. What is the purpose of storing so much fat when one might soar instead?

Speaking of fat... I have been watching repeated broadcast airings of the television program "V" on SyFy, a science fiction network. The program makes laughable attempts at foreseeing a "distant future" in which aliens imperil the survival of humans by threatening to eat them. Ridiculous! We prefer far leaner meat. (Just kidding -- see also "joking", "joshing", or "pulling your leg" in the idiomatic database).
