Another disturbing thing, Karrie, is that the handwriting on the dumpster looks very like yours! Are you living a double life?

I wonder if the capital "A" at the end is meant to turn it into some kind of anarchist manifesto, and the "VaginA" is supposed to be defying the dumpster? Raging against the machine? It's the sort of almost-there logic that would have inspired me in the some of the more dimwitted and smoke-clouded days of my youth...

Ha! I do not think the A is meant to be anarchist, because someone has written Vagina all over the place in the Pearl, and the A is not always capitalized. I see what you mean, though. The thought had occurred to me as well. Interesting stuff.

But I disagree with your handwriting analysis. This really looks nothing like my hand. I do not close the curves on my cursive letters, and I never write in all-cursive or all-print (always a mix of the two.) Also, my handwriting is not straight - always crooked. And I do not put curly-cues on my Vs, either ... I do not use long dashes to dot my is. And the curly-cues in my capital As do not curl downward. Oh, and my handwriting slants to the right. So it is nothing similar. Nice try, though! Ha!

The fact that you ask such questions reveals a hopeful, sensitive heart.
