It's actually a great example of how one willfully evil deed (or two days worth of them) can effectively erase/discredit good ones. Anyway, you didn't fuck up. Fucking up would be not acknowledging the omission.

No Tom, a fk-up would have been to stay silent once you became aware.
You didn't do that.

Making Another Murderer: The Captivating Case of Temujin Kensu - UNICORN RIOT
Nearly a dozen witnesses have placed Temujin Kensu 450 miles away from a 1980s murder in Michigan. Yet, 40 years later, his conviction stands.
NEW:
No murder weapon was ever produced, and no gunshot residue was found on his clothing.
An ammunition box found at the murder scene contained a fingerprint that did not belong to him.
Yet Temujin Kensu remains behind bars in Michigan.
It’s been 40 years.

José parked in the same spot every morning for nine years. On Valentine's Day, ICE came at 5:03 AM. He got two minutes to say goodbye.

Your writing is beautifully prosaic. I could smell the hay. I understand his issues. I would be furious at John Deere too. Just like he is pissed that no one has addressed his specific concerns over the years, he seems to also not care about the other issues plaguing the urban part of the country.

Love the writing. The picture of the barn floor and oak chairs and tractor laid out for surgery.
And agree on the anti trust and labeling beef in particular. I have knocked doors with local candidates.
Would it help if I visited the panhandle with some Jamison?
