The Bills lost the game - tis no surprise to me. They might still make the playoffs and if they do, I reckon you will hope you ain't playing against them.

This puzzle will be solved, the Buffalo Bills got jabs harmful, and the NFL is full of it, and we all know and the time or reckoning is upon us.

Holy shite P&S - have a porter - I think I'm going hexagon crazy - I think I need to go to bed....holy shit - holy moly...ha, ha.

I'm gonna figure this out no doubt - do you doubt I'm gonna figure this out?

I'll never be taken away against my will ever again - NEVER.

But - no doubt a good night's rest is important.

Especially on the sea of uncertainty....

The sea is always uncertain Ken - that's the fun of it.

Ay me friend from the sea who touches me papa's mind in thee way!

Safe travels be in the air and in the sea for thee!

South Africa awaits one kind with wisdom who has lived a life proud and strong and deliberate - a life of living!

A toast to thee P&S - a toast to safe travels for thee!

I raise a porter in your honor - I'll do it true!

It is an effort to show shapes with hexagons connected in 2-dimensions - independent of orientation....

~

That is not complicated.

~

I won't deny there is an aspect of it as to what the number ends up being confirmed that sort has captured my imagination, but the presentation of this is simple - anybody could do it - no calculator needed.

Also, it is true - it take practice to differentiate redundant shapes, but I've gotten pretty good at doing it "on the fly"...and I'll get to the number (I hope) on this post for six tiles connected - hexagons "perfect" - 2-dimensionally.

Respectfully,

What is "Waggish"?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/waggish

the definitions there are pathetic you want my opinion - very circular...\

but I think "Waggish" sort of means humorous...but if that is the case, why is waggish even a word in the first place - so it must have some other sort of meaning - maybe it is a tad facetious more so than just humorous....you know facetious humor is waggish!

~~~~~

but, I know this "crazy"...but why is it waggish in the first place.....is somebody wagging somebody else....what does it mean to wag somebody? Is wagging somebody the same as wanking yourself - oh know I don't think so, but if you wave to somebody up high and might - are you wagging them or waving genuine?

Or could it be that semantics matter?

I think semantics does matter - BIG TIME - & without context - tis nothing but narrative and false dreams of others post-modernist lately who seem to be harmful in intent that seems to be on the "airwaves" of legacy media on the way out obviously.

So - much of what is posted above will be edited out in the article proper - so my advice - make of copy of it now for safe-keeping.....or don't. It is just it ain't gonna be the same in a few days, but with all that said I know this:

~

There is a fixed whole number in Base10 for the whole number of discrete shapes made with six perfect hexagons connected 2-dimensionally independent of orientation.
