Stepping out of my comfort zone
For those that do not know me well, I am a bit of an introvert. Again, most who know me find that statement hard to believe, but it's true. I prefer being alone or with just a few people. I enjoy the quiet of my own thoughts. Yet, I have because of circumstances beyond my control had to pivot and be an extrovert. For the longest I have loved sports and played basketball, football, baseball, run tr

“Mister Pope continued, “Now there are cliffs on both coasts. There’s an ocean on either coast. I mean, you are a bird. You aren’t the smartest creature on earth. Now, you, silly bird, find yourself the only bird like you on the west coast. No Valentine’s Day for you.”
Hands went up.
“How did it get here?” Sidney Tucker asked from behind her oversized glasses.
“No one knows,” Mister Pope smiled.
“How come no one knows,” Kevin Abbott asked.
“Well, there are a bunch of theories, but no one can be certain,” Mister Pope said.
“So, there’s only one of these birds on the west coast right now,” Wendy Henderson asked.”

“The only reason Kate had run afoul of the law was because she had shot a white man. The rules were different for them. They could shoot and kill almost anyone and suffer little to no consequences. Yet, if a black, Hispanic, Indian or anyone not white harmed them all the weight of the white judicial system came tumbling down on the heads of those criminals.”

“The Martian history was not too different from that on Earth. The only exception was that people left the satellites and went to the surface of Mars and eventually after extensive construction found their way under a dozen domes on the red surface of the red planet. There, in the constructed safety of a domed environment the new Martians began to pollute and poison Mars as they had Earth. Garbage was a real problem. The consumption of foodstuffs created waste.”

“How do you do your dealings with all these... notorious individuals and their shenanigans with their less than legitimate business dealings?” McGee asked. “I just don’t see how this,” McGee waved to the cantina. “I don’t get how this works without bloodshed?”
“It works because, despite what the IGF and media wants to suggest, most criminals are not hiding in the shadows or lurking in dark corners. They are where people are. The most populated area in the six-planet area is controlled by IGF and the Gee Force. The bad guys ain't going to be found in deep space. So, the “criminals” return to the six-planet areas and need a safe haven and place where they can do their business with a fair hand,” the short, cropped hair man said as they entered the cantina and the space where dozens of tables were filled with men and women space adventurers, explorers, pirates, freebooters, and the like drinking, gambling, talking, eating, and snickering about things. “They come here.”
