The big advantage

Still on that big project at the J.O.B. Today I am making the frames for the gates so’s we can begin wrapping the whole shebang up.

but yesterday, in a minor epithany, I realized why I am so odd,,,,,

I never surrendered my childhood imagination, I only refined it, honed it to knife sharpness, and DESPISE the word “can’t”,,,

Ended up having a long heart to heart with Bible Thumper about his attitude, voice control, excessive use of the word “can’t”, and general ‘get your head out your ass’ pep talk.

it was then I realized the reason I am that “Goto Guy” in almost every job I have taken since I left the Misguided Children,,,, I keep imagining ‘whats next’, how it can be done better, alternates if better isn’t plausible, and WCS which happens more often than I would like. (WCS worst case scenario) AND, I have a saying that goes everywhere with me, and is plastered in several places in my shop, and has been aired here often as well. “there are no problems, just unseen solutions.”

Box? what of this box you speak, that I have yet to find?

I am not saying I am superman or anything: this is shit that should be NORMAL in people, IMO,,, I prefer to think of it as SURVIVAL SKILLS,,, How to get through the shit when shit is against you and come out shining, sort of thing.

Like me trying to figure out how to get fresh water while kayaking saltwater places, and not spend a ton on gear like reverse osmosis filters,,, I came up with three solutions off the top of my head, and only one is dependent on weather (rain collection),,, And that was just me having a little thought experiment, not some emergency,,,,

But, as I go through life, in my normal day to day, I find that “Thinkin” is not in common practice, and IMAGINATION,,, *sigh, mumble mumble,,,* I totally blame this ont he schools, because for the most part, the people that I run into with REAL IMAGINATION, are readers,,, people that read for entertainment, information, education, whatever, but they do so because they prefer that over the pretty flashy hypnotic “programmer” of the toobs,,,, my choice in description if intentional,,, WAY too much dependence on video these days,,,,

And the BBC is adding insult to injury,,,, And BCE’s commentary on it,,, classic VENT,,, Go read if you have not.

That, what they are doing, ‘justifying’ the downgrade of education,,,, CRIMINAL!!!!

between the Economic shitstorm forthcoming, (we are only experiancing the edge of this storm,,,) the downgraded education of future generations, the perverted “SCIENCE” in most areas of that discipline, to include MEDICINE,,, which in some ways is a symptom of the second, and fueled by ‘easy money’ from the first (pay us and we’ll give you the answers you want to hear,,,)

Pull the skirts in tight, batten down the hatches, strike the sheets for storm, and secure the cannon,,, this is gonna be a rough ride,,,,
