Frick And Frack

This fellow at left introduced the term Kafkaesque into English. Consider the "ungluck" or bad luck of citizen Mr. K from Kafka's book "The Trial. Mr. K, completely innocent of any crime, is arrested, but the charge against him is never made clear or even identified. Over 200 pages of the book Mr. K is tried and finally executed without knowing the charges against him. Mr. K in the end convinces himself he must have done something horrific but it is unknown what.

Kafka, emanating from the great Jewish artistic movement in Prague in the early 20th century that included Sigmund Freud died young of tuberculosis. No matter. All three of his sisters were killed at Auschwitz likely without knowing the charges against them similar to Mr. K. To see a horror lacking adjectives to describe look up "Einsatzgruppen" on You Tube.

Well, this is gross over dramatization for the Ungluck came to my mind last night getting off my horse. It went badly and with some other things that have hit all at once Kafka/Kafkaesque came to mind. Avoid detailing the absurdities that have occurred here over the last two weeks except to say the salmons are having trouble getting up the stream.

My left leg is like jelly and really needs immobilization for about a month. Trying to figure what to do with this "racing enterprise" at the moment.

Sat. Sun 7/23 and 24 Horse did light riderless work in paddock with one short speed spurt and was walked under tack in near dark from incoming rain last night. Luckily Rodney decided to behave.
