I got myself ready to bepicked up for the trip to Leicester and the Pink Porcupine club. Theypicked me up at four. Maggie was already in the car, dres...ed, as normal,as a woman. The other two in the car were dressed as men. The smaller ofthe two, introduced himself as Max, otherwise known as Fey Latio. He wasa couple of inches taller than me, but quite skinny.The other man was distinctly scary. He was not at all talkative. He wasat least six foot tall and built as a bruiser. It became clear that. It wound up taking us over an hour to finally pan all of our sands, but we haddone good there as well. Carl figured we had at least 5 ounces of fines & smallnuggets. Plus we had gotten about 3 ounces of bigger nuggets also fromdredging. We were just about ready to head back to camp when the now 4 hobby minersshowed up & asked if they could have the girls 1 last time. They were notplanning on coming back tomorrow. I said "Yea, I see no reason why not, butjust fuck their assholes with them. .. well, which led to them trying to pull the plug. Whether they could pull the plug entirely was currently a moot point, given the legal advice that we were getting, but it was clear that things were coming to a head.Which, I felt, was probably a good thing, but also something that could wait. For the moment, I took a sip of the wine, sat back and watched the scenery passing by ... thinking of everything that had gone on while I'd been up North...I dropped into the hospital to see Dave as soon. “He loves you. And he still means the world to your mom. It’s why she named you for both of us: Benjamin Junsaku Fukuzaki.”“Yeah, but Sofu is still annoyed ‘Junsaku’ isn’t my first name, like his and Uncle John’s. But then, I think that’s just because he’s still annoyed Uncle John named his firstborn ‘Samuel’.”I chuckled. “Naming you was entirely your mother’s decision: respecting her father AND symbolically breaking free at the same time.”“Yeah, but it’s still a mouthful.”I arched an eyebrow..
