Nothing's ever certain when I walk into your store.
Memoralbilia
The Homeridae beneath the Dodona Oak, a Springtime breeze in the leaves...
It's every wheres' sound...
How's that?
The waterfall's loud...
A beach with long continuous ocean waves...
On the stone benches, the audience visiting before the play...
A quietous...
Where is beyond beyond?
Below below...
Above above...
Beside beside...
The stars are loud...
Silence between the galaxies...
He's found Boccaccio...
Petrarch: My friend.

Notes: Dodger and Nationals on the radio...Angels and Giants earlier...Giant's Panik took twenty one pitches by Angels' Barria in one at bat...a new record...and a remarkable one!...how that happens is the batter keeps fouling off the ball...a Dodger player got hit by pitch for the 200th time...now 19th on that list...Angels lost 2-4...Dodgers trying to come back...trailing by a couple I think...
Boccaccio wrote a long book of the Greek gods and myths, but it's in Latin, and apparently never yet translated entire...part of it recently...and he wrote the Decameron...it has a 'frame' not unlike what I thought up for the Black Deck Tales...read the first one...there are a hundred!...and it's good!...a merchant needs to go on a business trip, and leaves a friend, who happens to be a Mafioso, to manage his affairs, collect debts, while he is away...the Mafioso falls ill, and while in a monestaries care, presents a dilemma for the monks...he can't be buried in the graveyard because he's a criminal, but the Mafioso says not to worry, bring me a priest...and he commences to confess his sins to the priest, careful not to make them sound to harsh...and the priest forgives him for each one, telling him he's being righteous for confessing, and not to worry!...the Mafioso dies forgiven, and is buried in the graveyard, rather than else ware, 'like a dog'...but the story doesn't end there...the priest goes on and on to the public how righteous the Mafioso was in his confessions, which were just a kind of inside joke to the Mafioso, that he becomes regarded as a Saint, and his grave a holy spot of pilgrimage...apparently Boccaccio could take religious sorts to task, and this may be why his works obscure...there's some on the web, but not much...the Decameron is famous, and an influence in Shakespears' era...religions are resilient in how they can absorb sarcasim and such...anyway...
too continue with Chacmools, see last two previous posts...I was up all night searching Mesoamerican iconographies...and more today...on Coatlicue's chest is a pectoral holding four severed hands and two cut out hearts arrayed just like the butterfly chestplate pectoral on the Chacmools and the Tule Warriors...let me back up a sec...
Dectective stories always begin with some crime, completely mysterious except that it is a menace, and if not solved, will manifest again...and the story brings in the detective who bit by bit gathers evidence until the truth is uncovered...trick in this, is to gather evidence with out jumping to conclusions!...or making false accusations...so, I'm just jotting down notes...for now!...
an odd thing is that the Incas didn't have chocolate, and conversely, Mesoamericans didn't have coca leaves...cocoa beans and coca leaves often get confused...so, Mesoamerica didn't culturally connect trade wise with South America?...a query...
I thought to look at Mayan iconography, and some of the kings have a pectoral called 'bar pectoral'...it has the distinctive six notches, but is very narrow...this is where I am now... brb...hmmp...tried to finish this post up and lost half of it...Dodgers won 4-3...as for the missing part, I can summarize, the Chacmools' pose is the same as Pakal's, the famous Mayan astronaut...brb...

The king himself wears the attributes of the Tonsured maize god - in particular a turtle ornament on the breast - and is shown in a peculiar posture that may denote rebirth.[
