Heron is working with the same gentleman in Hungary from the last recording. They provide mutual updates. Heron was abusively spamming which caused this recording. Tom wants to know about Heron's lighter interests. Heron is no longer an aged degenerate. What about leaving the US? What happened to Hong Kong? Heron wants to plug Soft White Underbelly and Tom agrees this is worth a look. They diverge on Facebook. Final thoughts?

Tom and Heron are in opposite positions once again but they are both reading the same kinds of books. Heron doesn't like transcripts.
