    What does it mean that a used Amazon Lambda AWS long-sleeved t-shirt, size L, is on sale for 80 baht (about US$ 2.40) in a used-clothes shop in a smaller local market (not on the tourist maps) in Chiang Mai, Thailand: 1. they have found me, and this is a warning ? 2. an ex-employee of the company is in hiding here, to escape persecution, or prosecution, after being photographed at a Trump rally wearing a MAGA hat ? 3. the wife left him and his cold land of unsmiling obese people and spiceless food, and returned home, taking his favorite t-shirts as revenge ? 4. it is an omen of the future of Amazon whose interpretation will require me to return to the US, and live in rain-soaked sunless Seattle where my income would only allow for a tent on the street, or jail for vagrancy ? Or ?

      Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!

        Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.

          I'm afraid it is all of the above Bill, all of the above.
