This is an evolving story. You might want to start at Chapter 1: The Dolls to get a sense of the atmosphere and drama involved.
I make videos and slideshows of people, scenes, activities and animals. Commentary, opinions, beliefs, simple truths, secrets, & slices of life. Funny, grim, and frequently honest.

Cheyenne wants a cookie
I cannot imagine a day without my dog Cheyenne. There is nothing like the absolute and unconditional love and affection of a dog, and that is why we must love and protect them — they who always look at you with trust, who greet you with enthusiasm, who watch from the window as you drive off to the market, and who are there at the door when you return.

Aristotle on truth and lies
It's breathtaking to me how slippery people can be with their blended truths, half truths, or outright lies as they say, "I swear to you..."
Sociopaths might lie all the time, but I'm talking about those in the average stream of life who can and do lie more so than others, either for profit and gain or to avoid punishment or disapproval.
I read the following years ago from a book titled Aristotle: A Very Short Introduction.*
__________________________________________________________
This is the Aristotelian definition of the truth. It's what we use in courts of law when we swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It takes these three conditions to assure that truth emerges.
I. "The truth." What is; not what isn't.
II. "The whole truth." Not just a part of the truth, but also that other part of the truth that, if known, could put you in a bad light.
III. "And nothing but the truth." Not the truth with a lie stuck in it to make the truth more palatable.
*Review: "A short, sweet, and selective commentary and analysis of Aristotle's works and ideas. A fine adjunct to the reading of the translated texts. A highly recommended aid to the student meeting Aristotle ab initio. Boy, what a book!"--Steven C. Fleishman, University of Maryland)
