Joke, The Fool: The Fool represents taking risks based on your instincts and intuition, improvisation, and trusting the universe and believing in the future.
Joke is quick on his feet, great at getting out of tight spots and changing gears on the fly, and the future he wants is Jack's future. He wants Jack to be free more than anything.
But also, in the closet, he got a little flicker of hope for his own wished-for future, and he held onto that and trusted his friends, and also the unexpected assist from Nada, and it got him home to Jack, where it all paid off.
Tattoo, The World: Upright, The World is assured success, recompense, and major change.
Tattoo spent a lot of time thinking about his place in the world, the value of his work, and his relationships with others this episode. He called Jack their collective big brother, he was feeding and helping Toi Tin, he has let Arun into his life and inner thoughts (and personal space).
And he stays the course instead of rushing off to rescue Joke -- trusting his friends -- and helped to see the plan through successfully.
Arun, The Moon: The Moon is all about being cautious and trusting your instincts, and, also about things not necessarily being what they seem -- such as a truth you can't admit to yourself.
We saw Arun spiral a little, devaluing his work and his ideas (even while he crocheted that adorable hat for Jack's birthday), questioning his place in the world (with The World/Tattoo, maybe?) how he could matter to his dad again, and at the heist, remembering the layout of Rosé's house incorrectly and panicking, worrying he's messed everything up, but letting his friends talk him back down.
And then he's the one that keeps Tattoo from running off.
Then, there's The Moment In The Car. Where Arun lets himself lean into Tattoo and celebrate and enjoy being wrapped around him, and then pulls away when he realizes what he's doing. So here's the thing Arun isn't ready to about to himself, and isn't ready to trust is real and not just an illusion.
Hoy, The Star: The Star brings inspiration and hope, and optimism for the future.
Hoy had always been the most optimistic of the bunch. He loves his friends, and even though he was complaining and threatening to leave this whole time, he stays, encouraging his friends and choosing the right switch and driving them all away safely.
But most importantly, he brought them all together with these cards, and he saw how they were all connected, and he knew the right symbol to use to unlock the security on the ring.
Hoy connected the dots, and Hoy was the one that Joke was ready to trust if everything went pear-shaped.
I love them.

Okay, Paradox fans, here are some very very rare pics for you-- A Very Special Holiday Present! From an inside source, close to the band, I have stills from the 1976 Rosie O' Dell Christmas Special which, as we all know was only broadcast one single time on the ABC Network on November 27, 1976 at 8 pm EST. That's it. No repeat broadcast, no video release, no bootlegs, no grainy betamax copies surfacing on youtube, nothing, nada, zilch. Both the band and Ms. O' Dell (and later her estate) have kept the lid tight on this one despite the fact that it was key to relaunching O' Dell's career and was also Paradox's first U.S. television appearance.
But that was really it, wasn't it - Paradox did not do TV as a strict rule. They would not appear on U.S. television again for another 20 years and that for a special edition of MTV's Unplugged. But they made this one exception -- for Rosie. This was because she was a good friend to the band and had been essential help to them after Tristam Lindsay and Alexander Logan were seriously injured in a car accident outside O'Dell's adopted hometown of Aspen, Colorado. Out of gratitude, they appeared in the special, but since she valued their friendship, she agreed to never let it be seen again.
Even so, on the momentum of the special, the previously nearly retired former radio star signed a three picture deal with 20th Century Fox to make the three "Don't Mess With Mother Nature" Movies costarring Karen Carpenter. Rosie was a trooper of the old old school and kept working until her 100th Birthday when she played a sold-out show at Caesar's Palace (famously attended by Tristam Lindsay and Alexander Logan). Recently, as Paradox asses their own Fifty-Year legacy, they have been thinking about Ms. Rosie O'Dell with great fondness and reassessing her influence on the band.

Hello, all. Been a minute:
Until further notice, and I hope others will join me, but I will no longer be supporting actors and actresses that have been supporting Israel or those that have been silently complicit in the genocide by doing nothing while they have a platform or the money to help those in Rafah or Congo or Sudan and etc.
With all the atrocities that we are made aware of, but celebs get to sit idly by doing nothing while us regular people struggle to make ends meet and yet do more for the genocides occurring. They’re going to fucking Met Galas or fashion shows or anything that is way out of most of the worlds means.
It’s pathetic.
Every donation attempt I make gets blocked by my bank. It’s $5. Fuck America.
I made the mistake of sharing a Sebastian Stan photoset the other day, forgetting my values.
I no longer support him or others until they can get their shit together. Add Taylor Swift. Selena Gomez. Influencers that say they cannot influence. 🤪
Characters will be supported because I know Tumblr does not pay for most of their content. That’s it. Still need to go on a blocking spree, and he’ll be on that list if he already was not.
Eat the rich. Fuck the police. ACAB
Free Palestine. Free Congo. Free Sudan. ALL EYES ON THEM
I will also not be purchasing any more electronics. That new apple or Samsung or car or what have you is not important.
No me importa nada.
My comfort and your comfort is continued support to these genocides. How privileged are we to have this option? We are benefiting from this blanket of white privilege in America. Or any country that is doing the same. I’m sickened with myself.
#sebastian stan#met gala#he is tagged for more traction and attention#🤷🏻♀️#it is what it is#eat the rich#acab#fuck the police#palestine#israel#free congo#free palestine#free sudan#keep eyes on sudan#all eyes on rafah#congo genocide#taylor swift#selena gomez#blockchain#block party#fuck america#white privilege#privilege

In which Nacho compares Lalo to a jungle cat that wants to devour him 🖤
Also tagging @girldadlalo , @jugem13, @sword-day, @lady-writes-flanagan and @lady-telford
READ ON AO3
.
The thought of cutting Lalo's throat and being done with this whole affair had crossed Nacho's mind more than once.
It was easier said than done when Lalo was looking at him like that.
Lalo was always looking at him like that: Like he found Nacho amusing, like Nacho was a piece of meat, like Nacho had some sort of value. Nacho knew better.
They were on the road, as they often were, the engine of the Javelin rumbling beneath them. The radio was playing softly, Juan Gabriel's voice full of longing as he sang Querida. Lalo, Nacho had learned, had incredible luck with choosing radio stations. He always seemed to find the one that would play the best songs to get Nacho lost in his own mind. Por lo que quieras tú más ven, Juan Gabriel was cooing, Más compasión de mí tú ten.
The sun had long since set, leaving the sky black and ablaze with stars. The moon was a sliver of platinum, thin as a blade. It reminded Nacho of Lalo's smile, of the cat-like thing that was focused on him right this very moment. It felt predatory, like Lalo was some frightening jungle cat and Nacho was a tiny mouse trying to hide under a fallen banana leaf.
It was a thrill he wasn't ready to address, and he gripped the steering wheel tighter, doing his best to keep his eyes on the road. His nails pressed into the leather of the steering wheel cover, pressing into the crescent-shaped divots he had been digging into it every time he was relegated to chauffeur duty.
Mira mi soledad, the song continued, Que no me sienta nada bien.
Nacho tried to ignore that, too. His chest hurt. Exhaustion, probably.
Lalo was turned sideways in his seat, talking animatedly about something, gesticulating wildly as he did, as he always did. He talked with his hands a lot. Nacho tried not to think about his hands.
He tried not to think about Lalo at all, if he could help it. He hated Lalo. He hated all the Salamancas. It was harder to hate someone when they were constantly around, though, always chattering away and grinning that Cheshire smile and purring about his plans. The only thing he didn't do was touch, and Nacho hated him for that, too.
The thought of Lalo's strong, calloused hands around his neck had crossed his mind once or twice. They weren't always around his neck, though. He tried not to think about that, either.
"Ignacio?" Hearing his name in Lalo's low, jaguar-purr of a voice sent a shiver of want skittering its way down Nacho's spine. It always did. His knuckles were white as he squeezed the steering wheel, his chewed-down fingernails cutting through the leather cover. "You listening to me, man?"
He wasn't, and he said, "No."
Lalo's eyes lit up when another car passed them. They glittered like chips of obsidian. There was something deeply unnerving about Lalo's eyes. They weren't the gold of a wildcat's eyes, and that felt wrong, somehow. They were bottomless black pits that would suck you down deep and spit out the bones.
Nacho looked away, trying and failing to ignore the heat that built low in his belly when Lalo looked at him that way. It happened more often than he'd like to admit, and he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, keenly aware of Lalo watching him.
"Getting kinda mouthy here lately, huh?" Lalo didn't seemed bothered by it; He seemed amused. He was always amused. Life was a joke to him. It irritated Nacho to no end. "These your true colors, Nachito?"
Were they? Nacho wasn't sure. Lalo brought out the worst in him.
Lalo didn't seem to mind it. He reveled in it. Was he trying to break him?
It was working.

Okay, full-length thoughts on the Mentalist Season 3 finale (episodes 23 & 24). No spoilers until the cut.
First of all - absolutely loved it. Great entertainment value, lots of rewatchability, epic highs and lows, and very impressive tension and suspense management.
Second of all - the performances. Gods damn, there are some great performances. The most obvious being Simon Baker as Patrick Jane, of course. As always, I could wax poetic for hours about that man's facial expressions alone. I am constantly enamoured and impressed by the way he can subtly yet clearly convey so many emotions while playing such a generally stoic character. And on top of that, his line deliveries are fantastic! His choices really are such an integral part of why this character is as wonderful as he is. HUGE props to the dude, always a pleasure to watch. Shoutout to my girl Robin Tunney as Teresa Lisbon, love of my life, queen of my heart. Again, she's another actor who really elevates the material through her facial expressions and line delivery and just general presence and characterization. Her chemistry with everyone, frankly, is truly a highlight of the show. And I don't mean that as exclusively romantic, I'm talking about the dynamism of her character's interactions and relationships with all the other characters, all of which are greatly enhanced by the performances of the actors. Tim and Owain are solid as usual, but I really want to make special note of Amanda Righetti as Grace Van Pelt. Throughout this whole season I've been noticing her earnest and endearing portrayal, and all that groundwork serves to make the character's arc in the finale that much more poignant. She's believably as sweet and loving and kind as the character is written, which is quite a feat considering that archetype can often come off as forced or superficial.
Now I want to talk plot, so spoiler warning ahead. (also mild spoilers for Psych and Lucifer)
Let's break this down piece-by-piece. The first section is the investigation into the death of this robber who got blown up. Right off the bat, this is a new type of case. If my memory serves, we haven't had an episode investigating a bombing victim before. The trail of breadcrumbs starting from that case is great, it doesn't feel forced or wooden, and it builds up to the first real reversal: Lisbon getting got.
While I did have to employ some suspension of disbelief to buy that Lisbon would get taken out so easily, the resulting caper was plenty of fun to make up for it. The "someone is listening to our every word, so we have to be extra cryptic and secretive about communicating" dynamic is very fun with these two because they have such a unique relationship. The notepad with increasing amounts of question marks was delightful. The "eleventh-hour love confession to cover up the sounds of the lock being picked" was brilliant. All in all, a fun segment of this journey. I didn't see the store owner coming, but in my defense they did kinda rush that reveal because they needed to get on with the story. They didn't encounter a single obstacle from the moment Lisbon was equipped with the bomb, lol, it was a really straightforward resolution. The guy being a mere intermediary, a pawn in someone else's game, was apparent from the moment he was revealed, simply because of the lack of buildup. We saw none of this guy's motivations, zippo nada zilch, so the most obvious answer was that he was doing this for someone else. And in this show, especially during a season finale, all roads lead to Red John eventually.
The Hightower connection was another one I didn't see coming, I hadn't really spared her much thought since she exited the show. Once the focus became identifying Red John's man on the inside, things became a bit more predictable. In all honesty, my first suspect was LaRoche because of how shifty he was acting after he shot the guy in that car, but as soon as Van Pelt's fiance was on the table as an option, there was never a question. They set it up too clearly with that one episode earlier on where she gets a new boyfriend that morning and then he bombs the CBI later that day, she's like the Gus equivalent on this show: if she's dating someone other than Rigsby, they're almost certainly shady. Knowing ahead of time didn't make the reveal any less satisfying, though. I was able to experience the betrayal and heartbreak all the same thanks to Amanda Righetti's fantastic performance.
I jumped ahead a bit, so going back to the plan: giving them all different locations was definitely where my mind was at as well, but the different floors of the same hotel was way smarter than what I was thinking. I didn't make the rope connection either, though I didn't believe it was Bertram at all, I just figured it would end up being O'Laughlin somehow, through trickery or something else.
The tension buildup from when Jane figures it out until O'Laughlin gets caught (and killed) was well done in a painful sort of way. Definitely got my adrenaline up lol, but it was fun. Lisbon getting shot was rude, tbh, but she looked so good with her hair splayed messily across her face, and she was a total badass with how she took him down in spite of it, so overall that was a win.
Okay, now on to that ending. Like I said earlier, it's reminiscent of the Lucifer Season 3 finale in that it's a crossing of a line, a point of no return that's been building up for the entire series. Do I think that was actually Red John? No. And I am very curious to see how that pans out and what that means for Jane. I am so tempted to start the next season right away, but I'm already staying up too late writing this and I have to wake up early tomorrow for work, so I'll have to be patient. It really feels like Jane's been put into check. The reason I don't think that was actually Red John (besides the meta reason of having read the names of all the episodes), is that it feels too simple. Too detached, too subdued. The interpersonal tension that I would expect from a serial killer and their pet police consultant wasn't there. I'll admit, my expectations might be skewed by my very recent viewing of Psych and the nature of Shawn and Yang's relationship. But still, I don't buy that Red John would be content with an ending like that. His continued meddling with Jane suggests that killing his wife and child did not satiate his desire to see Jane suffer, and so I'm hesitant to accept that there would be no animosity from his end when the two eventually meet. All the more fun to keep watching and see what happens next :D
Alright, I'm concluding my ramble here. Special mention of how much I enjoy when Jane weaponizes his own pain to manipulate others like he does at the very end of the finale. I definitely have a penchant for liking characters who find unhealthy ways to take the real pain that they feel and turn it against the people causing them that pain. But that's a conversation for another day. For tonight, I'm going to go to bed content after having watched some banger TV and hoping and praying that the lack of sleep doesn't screw me over tomorrow. Byeeeeeee!

Hijôsen no Onna
(Dragnet Girl / A Delinquente)
JP, 1933
Yasujirô Ozu
6/10
Propaganda?
Confesso que, se a ficha técnica do filme não me assegurasse que se tratava de uma película de Ozu, eu nunca o diria.
É uma réplica de um filme de gangsters norte americano. Os atores vestem-se à ocidental, conduzem carros americanos, bebem, fumam e dançam à americana, dedicam-se ao boxe e às apostas, têm gangues criminosos, a imitar os do tempo da lei seca na América. As oficinas e os bares têm cartazes em inglês, os posters nas paredes são de Jack Dempsey e de "A Oeste Nada de Novo" (este curiosamente em versão francesa). Enfim, é tudo tão americano e hollywoodesco que eu fui confirmar se o filme não teria sido rodado nos EUA. Mas não, foi num estúdio em Tóquio.
É contudo evidente que, toda essa decadência americana é apresentada como um mundo de vício, de perdição, de imoralidade. A única personagem inocente e eticamente elevada, de todo o filme, é uma jovem caixeira, que não por acaso veste kimono e tamancos de madeira tradicionais. É a única personagem que representa o Japão tradicional, probo, honrado. Tudo o resto é importado do ocidente e é moralmente perverso, decadente, criminoso.
Curiosamente, a honesta simplicidade desta jovem, exemplar único, numa sociedade perdida, é suficiente para causar uma crise de consciência nos protagonistas e levá-los à redenção das suas vidas pecaminosas.
Essa visão moral, apelo aos bons valores tradicionais, é a única característica típica de Ozu, que emerge do filme.
O resto, mais do que uma imitação de Hollywood, é uma diabolização do modo de vida ocidental e particularmente do americano. No contexto histórico em que o filme surge - 1933 foi o ano da invasão japonesa da China, mas as hostilidades já tinham iniciado em 1931, com a invasão da Manchúria e a progressiva internacionalização do conflito, com a intervenção das potências aliadas, Britânicos, Russos e Americanos, que se haveria de prolongar até ao final da segunda guerra mundial - não posso deixar de ver esta crítica, tão veemente, da sociedade ocidental, como um ato de propaganda, de apoio à campanha militar imperial japonesa e de demonização e descredibilização dos inimigos ocidentais do Japão, exaltando as virtudes da tradição nipónica, contra o vicio americano e ocidental.
Certamente a obra mais fraca que vi, do renomado realizador japonês.
Propaganda?
I confess that, if the film's technical specifications didn't assure me that it was an Ozu film, I would never say so.
It's a replica of an American gangster film. The actors dress in a Western style, drive American cars, drink, smoke and dance in an American style, they dedicate themselves to boxing and gambling, they have criminal gangs, imitating those from the Prohibition era in America. The workshops and bars have signboards in English, the posters on the walls have Jack Dempsey and "All Quiet on the Western Front" (curiously in French). Anyway, it's all so American that I went to check whether the film had been shot in the USA. But no, it was in a studio in Tokyo.
However, it is evident that all this American decadence is presented as a world of vice, perdition, and immorality. The only innocent and ethically elevated character, in the entire film, is a young cashier, who, not surprisingly, wears a kimono and traditional wooden clogs. She is the only character who represents traditional, upright, honorable Japan. Everything else is imported from the West and is morally perverse, decadent, criminal.
Interestingly, the honest simplicity of this young woman, a unique example, in a lost society, is enough to cause a crisis of conscience in the protagonists and lead them to the redemption of their sinful lives.
This moral vision, appeal to good traditional values, is the only typical characteristic of Ozu, which emerges from the film.
The rest, more than an imitation of Hollywood, is a demonization of the Western and particularly the American way of life. In the historical context in which the film appears - 1933 was the year of the Japanese invasion of China, but hostilities had already begun in 1931, with the invasion of Manchuria and the progressive internationalization of the conflict, with the intervention of the allied powers, British, Russians and Americans, which would last until the end of the Second World War - I cannot help but see this very vehement criticism of Western society as an act of propaganda, of support for the Japanese imperial military campaign and of demonization and discrediting of Western enemies of Japan, extolling the virtues of Japanese tradition, against American and Western vices.
Surely the weakest work I've seen, by the renowned Japanese director.

5 Tips to Ensure a Smooth Car Appraisal Process
Navigating the car appraisal process can be a daunting task, whether you’re looking to sell your vehicle or trade it in for a new one. A successful appraisal can lead to a fair price and a smoother transaction, making it crucial to be well-prepared. Here are five tips to help you ensure a smooth car appraisal process that maximizes your vehicle's value.
The first step in ensuring a smooth car appraisal process is understanding your vehicle's value. Before you even schedule an appraisal, take the time to research and determine the market value of your car. Websites such as Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, and NADA Guides provide valuable tools to help you estimate your vehicle's worth based on its make, model, year, condition, and mileage. Knowing your car's value not only gives you a solid foundation to negotiate from but also helps you avoid underpricing or overpricing your vehicle.
Once you have a general idea of your car’s worth, it's essential to prepare your Kfz Gutachter Berlin Marzahn. A well-presented car leaves a lasting impression and can significantly influence the appraiser's assessment. Start by cleaning both the interior and exterior of your vehicle. Remove any personal items, trash, or clutter, and give it a thorough wash and wax. Consider detailing the interior, including vacuuming and shampooing carpets and upholstery. A clean car not only looks appealing but also suggests that you've taken good care of it, which can enhance its perceived value.
In addition to cleaning your car, it’s vital to address any minor repairs that could impact the appraisal. Take a walk around your vehicle and look for any cosmetic issues, such as scratches, dents, or chips in the paint. If you notice any minor defects, consider investing in touch-up paint or repair services. It’s also a good idea to check the tires for wear and ensure that all lights, wipers, and other essential features are functioning properly. Addressing these small issues can lead to a better appraisal result, as they demonstrate that your vehicle has been well-maintained.
Documentation is another critical aspect of a smooth car appraisal process. When you arrive for the appraisal, bring along all relevant paperwork, including your vehicle's title, registration, and maintenance records. Having a complete maintenance history can significantly boost your vehicle’s perceived value. If you've kept records of oil changes, tire rotations, and any repairs, this documentation shows potential buyers that you’ve been diligent in maintaining your vehicle. If you’ve made any upgrades or modifications, such as adding a new stereo system or improved tires, be sure to highlight these changes as they can add value.
One of the most common pitfalls during the appraisal process is being too emotionally attached to your vehicle. While it’s natural to feel sentimental about a car that has been part of your life for years, it’s essential to approach the appraisal with a level head. Keep in mind that the appraiser’s goal is to provide a fair assessment based on market conditions, not personal feelings. By separating your emotional attachment from the appraisal process, you can focus on the facts and negotiate a fair price. Remember, it’s essential to remain flexible during negotiations, as this can lead to a smoother transaction.
Lastly, consider the timing of your appraisal. The time of year can significantly impact the value of your vehicle, particularly for specific makes and models. For example, convertibles often sell for more in the spring and summer, while SUVs and trucks may command higher prices in the fall and winter months when demand increases. Additionally, if your vehicle is in excellent condition and you’ve done all the necessary preparations, consider scheduling your appraisal when the market is favorable. Being aware of the right timing can maximize your appraisal outcome and help you get the best price for your car.
In conclusion, ensuring a smooth car appraisal process involves preparation, research, and a level-headed approach. By understanding your vehicle's value, presenting it in the best possible light, addressing minor repairs, gathering necessary documentation, and staying emotionally detached, you can navigate the appraisal process with confidence. Remember to consider the timing of your appraisal as well; a well-timed appraisal can result in a better price. By following these tips, you'll not only increase the chances of a successful appraisal but also make the entire experience more enjoyable and less stressful. Whether you’re looking to sell your car or trade it in, a smooth appraisal process can set the stage for a successful transaction and a better return on your investment.

All the Dennis women.
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone
Silence the pianos and with the muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message “Betty’s dead”
Put crepe bows round the white necks of public doves
Let the traffic policemen wear black gloves
The stars are not wanted now, put out every one
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun
Pour away the oceans and sweep up the wood
Mum, granny, great-granny’s gone, as we always knew she would.
Well this is weird, isn’t it? As you know Betty didn’t leave extensive funeral instructions or, indeed, hardly any instructions at all. In fact, she was much more specific about what she didn’t want. She’d bemoan the waste of a penny needlessly spent or the value of a penny saved and was aghast at the expenditure at dad’s funeral. So here we are, thanks for coming, to send her on her way as best we can. If Sainsbury’s did own brand funerals I’m sure she would have had one.
The last five years have been a torrid time as mum’s deterioration into a dementia fog worsened. But let’s not define mum by the last five years, she was much more than that, and find some happier times to remember her by.
She certainly had her airs and graces but loved making mischief, she loved bossing dad about, she wasn’t averse to a bit of irreverence. She tried to poison me, you know. Twice. On a visit to Sleaford she got Billy and Martha to help her make a crumble, with a purple crayon in it. When that didn’t work she tried again with a dismembered leg from one of Martha’s dolls. Famous in her kitchen for her Dundee cakes and my favourite rock solid, lumpy lemon meringue pie. She loved picnics and awful hats, she loved anything colourful, she loved her garden. Most of all she loved all her children, grandchildren, husbands wives and partners and was overjoyed to meet her great-grandchildren although she would wail “All boys, all boys, you would think one of them could have produced a girl!!” Martha/Vic/Amy, be warned. I think she loved the smallest children best, maybe something of the teacher in her. She loved it when the latest newborn grandson was plonked in her lap.
She loved her garden. There was a time when she could go round the garden and give you the Latin name to every shrub and flower. In her later years she loved to be driven along the front at Broughty Ferry, have a walk amongst the Rock Garden and pause for a moment at a bench in the sun. This would usually involve engaging some a hapless stranger in conversation too. Was it only last year that most of the family met at the little cafe there on her birthday? As a child I remember days out to Stately Homes or formal gardens and being put out of the car with instructions not to get in a mess. Of course, within minutes Dave would have splashed in a puddle, I’d stand in a cow pat and Liz would be perfect. I’ve a photo of mum and dad having a countryside picnic somewhere – dad dressed down for the occasion in his blazer, shirt and tie and mum in a white coat and court shoes.
She had green fingers. She could taking a cutting, stick it in a pot of garden mud and, hey presto, nine times out of ten it would flourish and bloom. Sue and I took a couple of tough, hardy Scottish rhubarb roots out of her garden to replant in Newark. How hard can it be to grow rhubarb? I’ll tell you. A few spindly stalks but mostly nothing, nada, zilch. Thanks mum for not passing on that gene.
We were asked if we wanted mum’s ashes. Dave and Liz said No, I said an immediate Yes. Of course, mum had to die sometime but I didn’t want her to go in the winter when the ground is hard and the plants are dead. I’m glad she went in the spring when the garden is coming back to life. So, I’m going to take mum’s ashes and sprinkle them on our vegetable patch and she can encourage new life and new things to grow. Mum will eventually get back to England and this year we’re going to have a bumper crop of Betty Tatties, Betty Beans and Betty Berries.
When we were clearing out Dad’s study I found a little booklet of poems. I’ll read one and then, as per mum’s wishes, we’ll have the lord’s prayer, then there will be a piece of music while Betty leaves us. Mum came to Scotland in 1964 and often said that she hadn’t had a decent green vegetable or felt properly warm since. Well mum, you’re going to be as hot as you’ve ever been in about an hour’s time I can assure you.
Do you feel downhearted or in need of friendly cheer
Come with me I’ll show you one who’ll lend a listening ear
Come with me to Betty’s for a cup of tea.
Maybe sometimes down a bit but hardly ever out
The kettle can soon be on, steam bubbling from the spout
Come along to Betty’s for a cup of tea.
Find the tea refreshing, with shortbread as a treat
Come and talk of family fun and fellowship so sweet
Come along to Betty’s, please say you’ll come with me
Yeah, let’s go round to Betty’s for a cup of tea.
Now the lord’s prayer, which we’ll do in silence. Many years ago I was at an RAF rugby player’s funeral. All blokes uncomfortable and not sure what to do. The vicar introduced it like this. If you don’t know how to pray think of it as a scrum. Prayer is making sense of the turmoil, get hold of the ball, hang on to it briefly then pass it out down the line. We’ll just have a minute now while we say our own private goodbye to Betty.
OK, Betty’s going to leave us now to a favourite tune. When you hear it I hope you’ll know what to do. Mum would love it. (Morecambe and Wise – Bring me Sunshine).

Mechanical Condition: Determine whether the car is operational or non-operational. Are there significant mechanical issues that would require costly repairs to make it roadworthy?
Exterior Condition: Inspect the car's exterior for signs of rust, dents, or severe damage. Note any missing parts, such as mirrors, lights, or bumpers.

Online Research: Start by researching online resources and websites that offer tools to estimate the value of your specific car based on its make, model, year, and condition. Common resources include Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, and the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA).
Get Multiple Quotes: Contact local junkyards, salvage yards, and auto wreckers in Albuquerque to obtain quotes for your vehicle. Different buyers may offer varying prices, so collecting multiple quotes can help you negotiate the best deal.

Sell to a Junkyard or Salvage Yard: Junkyards and salvage yards are often willing to purchase clunkers for their used parts or scrap metal value. Many also offer free towing services. Contact local yards in Albuquerque to inquire about their interest and offers.
Private Sale: If your clunker is still somewhat operational or has valuable parts, consider selling it privately. List your car on online platforms, local classified ads, or social media. Be transparent about the vehicle's condition to attract genuine buyers.
Cash for Cars Services: Some companies and services specialize in buying clunkers for cash. These services can provide a quick and convenient way to sell your clunker, and some may offer free towing as part of the deal.
Negotiate and Finalize the Sale
Once you've received offers for your clunker, don't be afraid to negotiate the price. Remember that the goal is to get the best possible deal for your vehicle. Be open to bargaining, but also be realistic about the condition of your clunker.
When you and the buyer have agreed on a price, make sure to finalize the sale correctly:
Sign over the title to the buyer and ensure it's properly filled out with the necessary details.
If required, complete a bill of sale.
Receive payment as per the agreed-upon method, whether it's cash, a cashier's check, or another secure method.
Provide any additional documentation or information requested by the buyer.
Properly Dispose of Your Clunker
After selling your clunker, it's essential to ensure that it is properly disposed of according to environmental regulations. The buyer or junkyard should handle the disposal process, scrapping the vehicle in an environmentally responsible manner.
Conclusion
