I guess, in the last few days, someone saw me stretching in my cell so some of the guys comment about how I "do yoga." There's no real privacy but I usually time it out so inmates and guards don't see. Not sure who saw me or when. 

As usual I write down quotes that inspire or provoke thought. I watched Dark Waters with Mark Ruffalo who plays Robert Bilott challenging Dow Chemicals use of PFOA/C8 to make teflon and dispose of the waste into the water stream. "The system is rigged. They want us to think that they protect us." I hear things like that and think that is so accurately applies to law enforcement, the legal system, the penal system, and health care. My own experience with all of these has proved to be quite the opposite. I also watched Prestige with Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman. "You won't find it because you're not really looking." When your life is staked against the theory that people are rational triers of fact when in fact people fail that process as often as they may succeed? We all know the trial was based on false or information taken out of context to secure the conviction of an innocent person which could not have been possible without the judges obvious pattern of behavior.

Let me pump the breaks on my legal complaining and say; what a great super bowl. That was about the most fun as I could have in prison. A really good game with a lot of unexpected things. I am not a big sports enthusiast but I am glad I got to watch.
