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.

avoiding the negative

Short day today. Shop day building stuff, but not much to build. Rain out on all other counts.

and trying like hell to avoid the negative influences in my little world right now. Stopped at Da’s and his attitude is full on negative right now. Not just the shoulder pain and eyesight issues, but the news feeds feeding discontent and propaganda,,, And much of it counter to what people out here in the real world are seeing and feeling.

Like the Economy. Trumped was spouting about how good things are, but out here, its starting to feel more like Wiemar. Daily price increases in basics that can’t be put aside,

but by Dawg, the computers and cell phones sure are cheap (as long as they come loaded with bloatware and spying apps.)

and the news feeds are so confusing about whats going on,

Are we on the verge of WWIII? sure as shit feels like it, then suddenly, Iran and Israel are calling a ceasefire again,, AGAIN,,,

“No, you can’t have your little war, you haven’t finished the last one!” Pure distraction.

So whats to be distracted from? Why, the fact that the world economy is on the skids and sliding down the avalanche at speed. Can’t have the plebes worried now can we? Oh no, gotts to keep up the pretense that everything is just fine and these proxy wars and chest thumpings are nothing to worry about.

Who aren’t we hearing from currently? China? Russia? North Korea? Brazil? Even the Sauds are keeping a low profile,,, Qatar raised its head for these ‘crisis in MENA’, but I doubt they have as much influence as the House of Saud.

BRICS,,, think about it,,, And I will leave that right there as an exercise of the mind.

Avoiding the negative,,, ha! tryin’! Failing too.

I blame the weather,,,, Late Feb early March weather always gets me in a grey mood,,, Not enough kayaking of late (as in NONE) nor camping. That last is in the works. Brudda B Brudda J and I are planning a weekend in the woods with fire and cold and SILENCE around the 13th of March. 3day2night weekend. Winter camping before the buggies start coming out of hibernation. Fiscally, can’t really afford it, Spiritually, I can’t afford not to. I will be there.

More laters,,,
LLLLL!

    Doesn’t take a freakin genius to actually see this stuff! Just takes a bit of ‘tween the lines lookin. Way Too Many *won’t* do that ’cause they can’t handle the facts. Not bad mouthin – just observin.

    I do wish there were more folk that understand that – it’d make things easier fer the rest of us.

    The dam weather causes lotz o’ folk the same type o’ trouble this time o’ year. Mikee knows quite a few hiz own self!

    Glad to see y’all are planning a get away weekend! Always was a beneficial thing fer Olde Mikee, it were!

    And fer them that biotch ’bout us Flor-i-didians not having 4 seasons – we MOST certainly so, I’ll have ya know! We have 1. Summer; 2. After Summer; 3. New Years (also called January); and 4. Almost Summer! So there!!😉

    L’s!

    Y’all take care,
    Mike in FLA.
