Back in Business
Keyboard showed up at the J.O.B. last eve, (had no way of knowing, no tracking Ident, so it was a crap shoot) and NOWZ, Dio is BACK up to speed.
On a less than happy note though: There have been a slew of drop-offs this week. One is a (maybe) 5 week old kitten. He has been captured, is residing in my shop in a crate (we can’t keep him away from the dawgums that aren’t known for gentleness with Kittehs) and putting some weight back on. I know for a fact that he hadn’t ate anything worth a damn the previous two days, and today when captured, the poor thing was skin and bones thin. I had Da bring me a can of wetfood and the little bugger would have downed the whole can if I hadn’t held it back in rations. Let that little tummy get used to having something in it again, or he’ll hork it up and think its poison or something: getting him to eat then would be truly problematic. I know this because of Mama-kat: she did the same shit when little and if she expells anything, she’ll never touch it again.
So, Little piles of food, which he mau’d down on. Wait fifteen then give him another dose. About 2/3rds of the can gone, he started cleaning and took a nap. An hour later “MweoW! MweoW!” and I gave him the last of the can, to much motor revvin’ purrs. (please note, I would be happy to keep this one as mine, but I already have three adult kats and a 6 month old pupper,,,, I will make the effort to keep him healthy and socialable and find him a forever home ELSEWHERE,,, He won’t be feral, and he is being introduced to Bear-bear and Rufus (on my terms, not thiers) so he won’t be a complete freakazoid around doggies.)
But he is only one of the several,,,,
Two pitties and a beagal, down on the river road. Male and Female pits, one with a long broken leg that never healed right, and the mama pit has had pups sometime in the last 6 months (Cozzies mommy?,, Dunno, but doubt by hide color) The beagal doesn’t have a tracking collar on, so not a lost rabbit dog, or if a rabbit dog, they took the color off to ‘lose the dog’,,,, Seen that a time or three around here: once the dog hits a certain age, they ‘write them off’ and leave them to nature to deal with.
I’m trying to keep a positve attitude today, and seeing those drop-offs, dealing with the one at the shop,,,, Positive isn’t exactly my best trait right now: Fact,,, I sorta hate the human race right now. I do not understand the mentality that can just leave a barely weaned (if at all weaned) kitten to ‘fend for itself in the wild’ with such casualness. Dropping off dogs, the same thing,,,, I swear, that type would likely drop off thier kids if they thought they could get away with it without repurcussions from the legal side. (and in some ways, they do just that by sending them off to school everyday, so someone else can keep an eye on them. They don’t give a squirt if the kid actually learns or anything, so long as the kid is out of their hair.)
——————————————————–
OK, my take on things in the ME. David vs Goliath, but there’s a catch. The Ayatollahs weren’t ‘duly elected’, so much as put in place by nefarious actors back in the day. THE SHAH, is still in circulation and now, there is movement to bring the Shah back into power and displace the Theocracy that has been a thorn in EVERYONE’s side since the late 50’s.(everyone but Russia that is,,, There is still some of that loyalty from the USSR floating, though the terms are different now.) So, my take is this, Somewhere somehow, someone in INTEL or STATE decided that enough was enough, and started turning some screws on the machine of international intrigue. Mossad, CIA, joint efforts, dunno, but me thinks that this is going to pan out in a fashion that pokes the globalists in the eye with a poop covered middle finger.
And it still all Kabuki theater.
Why am I saying that? Look at the silver markets. Not the gold index, but SILVER. Something is about to implode and when it does, a whole lot of other things are going to get sucked into that mess. And there are massive movements in global currencies to get out of the dollar.
Trump is running a race right now and most people have no clue what that race is. It isn’t bombing other nations,,, thats a side issue. The economy is the real show and it isn’t pretty by anymeans, no matter what the talking heads, to include Trump, are saying. Things on the silk road are showing gains while the silver index is starting to percolate. And some are saying we will see $70+/oz before the end of 2025,,, (and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it went to that 50:1 ratio of gold that it hasn’t seen since 1917.
Keep that in mind when you are getting frantic about what the powers that be are doing with military might,,, thats just the show/symptom to bigger underlying things.
Got ammo? Don’t forget that last L,,,

Dam good ‘un, here, Bro Dio. Glad ya found the kitteh youngun. It’s in good hands.
Good to see the pupper’s makin’ progress, too.
I’m a-seein’ much the same things that you are regarding politicks. Silver is what I pay attention to, as well.
And yer correct (IMHO) about the ME, too. At least more so than the dam ‘heads’. Most of them couldn’t find their azz with both hands and a dam searchlight! Mikee sure hopes that the dam ‘globalists’ get poked in both dam eyes with a nasty middle finger(s)!!
Also mirror yer sentiments re: critters. Katz and Mikee don’t particularly get along real good – but dropping ’em off in the wild at that age is unforgivable. Speakin’ of critters – my Colt is a-bitchin ’cause his supper is a few minutes late! Gotz ta take care of that!!
Y’all take care,
Mike in FLA.

Remember those missing backpack nukes from the Soviet arsenal ?
Highly suspected that they are in Iranian hands, just waiting for the right occasion to cause mischief.
Only thing I consider with silver is the price that I’ll dump mine at. Probably when I can pay off the mortgage with it… ?
