P-OT: Ghosthunting Texas - Lonesome Dove Inn

                                                                       P-OT 

Premises: 

Loci (maybe?): 

Order 

 

What comes first is better or worse than what comes last/next. 

The Lonesome Dove Inn was 1st a hospital, next a private residence, and finally, an inn that is “Immediately Recognizable” 

Premises: 

Values: 

Concrete 

“Texas” “the Comm. major” 

“Proudly bearing a Texas lone star symbol.” 

Quasi-logical: 

Inclusion or Comparison: Superlative (not sure which one) 

Inclusion: Treating something as a part of a larger whole. 

Comparison--superlative: Something is beyond comparison. 

Orbs are a sign that there are spirits or that the orbs ARE the spirits. 

Based on the Structure of Reality: Symbolic Liason: 

Coexistence 

They interlink in coexistence. Ex: Don’t act like a pig. 

“They don’t bother me at all. As long as they behave....welcome to stay.”
