A <strong>Life</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Rosemary</strong> <strong>Booker</strong><br />
Jojo cont<strong>in</strong>ues <strong>to</strong> show little or no reaction as<br />
<strong>the</strong>y proceed through <strong>the</strong> heart <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> beat<strong>in</strong>g. Six <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> best has many elements. Of course <strong>the</strong> open<strong>in</strong>g<br />
shot serves as an important <strong>in</strong>dica<strong>to</strong>r as <strong>to</strong> how <strong>the</strong><br />
next few m<strong>in</strong>utes are go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> go down. If <strong>the</strong> first<br />
one is a real scorcher <strong>the</strong>n it’s a pretty good bet that<br />
th<strong>in</strong>gs are not go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> get much better.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many gals amongst our community<br />
who were subjected <strong>to</strong> corporal punishment at school<br />
and some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m recall that can<strong>in</strong>gs were <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
limited <strong>to</strong> two or a maximum <strong>of</strong> three strokes. <strong>The</strong><br />
general consensus seems <strong>to</strong> be that <strong>the</strong>se shorter<br />
can<strong>in</strong>gs might have been quite pa<strong>in</strong>ful and resulted <strong>in</strong><br />
some residual soreness but were overall quite<br />

third stroke you are really address<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> heart <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
matter and that <strong>the</strong> pa<strong>in</strong> fac<strong>to</strong>r <strong>in</strong>creases at an<br />
alarm<strong>in</strong>g rate that is not necessarily commensurate<br />
with <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> strokes. As I have only ever been<br />
caned at <strong>Woody</strong>s where <strong>the</strong> standard punishment is<br />
six I am really unable <strong>to</strong> comment whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>se<br />
<strong>the</strong>ories have much veracity or whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y are<br />
bogus science. But <strong>the</strong> one th<strong>in</strong>g that I can assure<br />
you is that no matter how whop-hardened you<br />
become <strong>the</strong> one stroke you really dread is <strong>the</strong> closer.<br />
Patty wound herself up and set her feet. Jojo<br />
cont<strong>in</strong>ued <strong>to</strong> keep her eyes gently closed and her<br />
mouth set. She knew what <strong>to</strong> expect.<br />
KAPOW!!! Patty unw<strong>in</strong>ds her arm and slices <strong>the</strong><br />
cane through <strong>the</strong> air. It looks like she is <strong>in</strong>tent <strong>of</strong><br />
lift<strong>in</strong>g Joanna clean out <strong>of</strong> her shoes and cutt<strong>in</strong>g her<br />
