I got my second laser treatment on Tuesday! This in the evening after pleading guilty in the morning to one count of missing car registration and one count of missing insurance in _The People of the State of "Oregon" vs. "Mark T. Saotome-Westlake"_ (a sobering reminder of the importance of sending in one's renewal paperwork on time).
-I took the "MAX" train to the nearest stop and walked to the area where the laser parlor/clinic/salon is (finding a twenty (!) on the sidewalk along the way—efficient market hypothesis refuted!), but I was quite early, so I took some time to browse the local shops.

The variety store had these little nylon–polyester flags, not just for countries, but also the various Pride identity flags—and not only the famous ones like the rainbow flag and the the trans pride flag, either, but also really obscure ones that I wasn't previously aware of, like the leather pride and bear pride flags. (It was the part of town where this was entirely unsurprising.)
-No [AGP flag](https://4archive.org/board/lgbt/thread/8628058/attached-image-is-the-agp-pride-flag-black-represents-the-r), obviously. (Someday ...)

-I went to the bookstore I visited [last time](/2017/Nov/laser-1/). They had instrumental Channukah music playing. I took notice of one of the little flyers taped in the window of the front door, for a local trans writer's workshop. (Again, that part of town.) "Rules: No jerks. No cis people. That's all," it said. I noticed that I was genuinely uncertain as to whether I would count as zero, one, or two of those things.

I bought a paperback of Laura Jane Grace's memoir _Tranny_ (research for the blog, I told myself) and a copy of the November/December issue of _Poets & Writers_ ([professional development](/2017/Nov/the-blockhead/) for the blog, I told myself).
