Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.




The triumph of the Democracy is essential to the struggle of popular liberty

They're all very good purifications for sure but our discerning customers appreciate the array of choices we provide, whose details are chiselled very clearly in size 8 font on the gold tablets lining our entranceway.

Finally went to the running store after weeks of procrastination. One of the ladies working there really helped me get the best shoes for me. I told her I thought my size 12 shoes were too big and I maybe needed to go down half a size. She brought out a pair for me to wear, they fit perfectly, and she says "so these are a size 10"

Also started adding running bits to my walks.

Yesterday: 1 mile walk; 0.25 mile run; 0.75 mile walk.

Today: 1 mile walk; 0.25 mile run; 1.5 mile walk; 0.25 mile run; 1.5 mile walk.

Keep that up and you'll have a rice and chessboard type of deal. By the 64th day you'll be walking around Jupiter five hundred times over.

We hiked 4 miles today, close to but not on the Appalachian trail.

That'd be roughly 0.33873 × 10^227 miles. You'd have to walk around Jupitor 946 times.

If you naruto-run and use the storm in the giant red spot to give you a slingshot it should take roughly 40 mins.
