inexorable \in-EK-sur-uh-bul; in-EKS-ruh-bul\, adjective:
Not to be persuaded or moved by entreaty or prayer; firm; determined; unyielding; unchangeable; inflexible; relentless.

Inexorable comes from Latin inexorabilis, from in-, “not” + exorabilis, “able to be entreated, placable,” from exorare, “to entreat successfully, to prevail upon,” from ex-, intensive prefix + orare, “to speak; to argue; to pray.”

I’d met this dog, last night — and I’d hoped to be introduced to his smaller dog, made of cloth. But that was not to be so. Look, one thing. Touch, no.

Pretty certain I will be traveling tonight to Constantinople. Then, traveling further into Central Asia, as timing allows. A weeks worth, at least.

Wishing well,
