Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said it, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Humpday,,,

my hump is actually between when I get off on Twosday, and begin work the next, but hey, traditions, right?

Anywhoos,,, big project at work and all available warm bodies are being tossed at it to get it done. (not that this body has been all that warm the last two days, but I am still ambulatory and cognizant,,,)

Long days, no time to keep up with the current falling sky thing, and even if ALL of the big names go tits up, it will take months to trickle down to this area.

Not that we won’t feel it: we will, but that we won’t feel it with the same intensity nor the same End Of The World feelz that the more Urban areas are going to. We ain’t gonna starve, nor freeze, but we may not be comfortable at times.

And I think there is gonna be a whole lot of that hillbilly attitude to boot. The “cain’t fix the roof when its rainin’, and it don’t need fixed when it’s dry out” thing. Lots we can do here local, but when the big picture comes calling, this place rolls up its sleeves, and pulls in even tighter. People like me, the ones ‘that talk funny’, may have a harder time of it because we, despite years of building trust and networks, will NEVER be completely accepted. I know this, and I am hoping my reputation as the Fix-It Guy will carry me through the tougher times. That or it will make me a target,,, dunno, but willing to play the hand I am dealt. (and may have to SSS a few times before those that think “He’s rich!” or whatever ‘golden goose egg’ idea they have of me, are out of the picture or get the message that “He don’t play right”)

LOL I was told by a Senior DI, “If you find yourself in a fair fight, YOU fucked up!!” Took those words to heart I did, and you can bet that when things get hairy, I will have some toys lined up as needed to keep things balanced in my favor.

mine won’t be so obvious

But to be honest, I don’t think we are going to go that far down the rabbit hole. People are waking up faster and faster: that has to be a sign that things are going to start shifting AWAY from the insanity, or, The Insanity will begin serious over-reach and drive even MORE people to wake up, escalating the drive back to something a bit more restrained,,,,

Ok, Voo needs to do the poo thing, Mamakat has already filleted my right paw and is now in hiding (she knows shes screwed up,,,) and I still need to do the stuff to keep the house warm, get my belly filled and all that other stuff I do before I visit the other-worlds in my hindbrain.

More tomorrow, maybe early, maybe late, dunno yet.

    Yeah , do I go make a withdrawal today , or not ?
    Rawels says yes , if the European banks show signs again today.
    How’d you like to be in Mark E’s position right now ?
    A pacifist , stuck in his kayak. Surrounded by gun toting desperate Americants.
    It could be interesting soon.

    • Yeah, Mark is in a strange position. And it’s not like he is destitute, though his current living arrangements give no tell of how well off he is. And that whole pacifist thing works well for only so long when people start channeling Mad Max.

        Just an example of many who rely on an intact monetary institution. They may have assets , yet might soon enough be denied access to them.
        Finally decided , for myself just to let ride , what I have in the bank…
        Got enough stashed to pay financial stuff for six months. If anything goes longer than that…money will be useless anyway.
        Mark is an example those way out on a limb currently, yet are likely unaware that a problem even exists.
        Come to think of it , they are probably better off not being aware.
