72 hours,,, its a general rule of thumb for preppers, and one I need to get with again.   Let it lay for 72 hours, see what happens.  

The original form was that when SHTF, it would take 72 hours for the realization to hit the masses, at which point every little wanna be warlord would come out of the woodwork and the rest would become the Golden Horde,,,   Well, I think we are long past that scenario, with the growth of EBT and all the other gibme’s our socialist republic has created to keep the debt/wealth lie afloat.

Yeah,,, feeling a smidge jaded this morning.   Funny that, as I spent quite a bit of time in study last night: I should be flowing the opposite direction,,,, (action reaction thing,,,, oops)

As I stated last night,,, we have no idea where these currents are gonna flow.  Even those talking head/experts (HAck SPIT!) are merely making proposals on dream states they HOPE to happen, no basis in reality.(or very little,,,)   That goes for the DoomSayers as well.   Me thinks that the actual current lay somewhere in the middle of the two POV’s 

But the little guy still gets fucked,,,

always has

always will.

Yah, if there were any argument for getting rich and richer, its that ‘You’ll get fucked if ya ain’t’ part.

I ain’t rich, not in the socially acceptable scales.   Hell, by those scales, I live BELOW poverty level,   PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING, but funny thing that, I don’t feel poor, and have stated many times, “My wealth is in me head” and thats a wealth that can’t be stolen from me without destroying the container.(and the thief will be mighty disappointed with the lack of gain).  I live comfortable, my means are fleeting for certain, but my ends are well established so even a longer term short won’t leave me desperate.  THAT is the goal to prepping, and that is a wealth as well.  Seriously, at this point, the only thing I fear is GOVERNMENT, and that is a big enough fear for anyone to face.   (I dislike illness, but shit happens.  I don’t fear death and haven’t for a long time.  And unemployment is ‘just a thing’ like a speedbump in a trailer park.)  I will say, if there is ever a case of someone wanting the property my little hovel is situated on, I’ll take the geld and run. I’ll use the case as a chance to ’empty the cup’ once again, offload the extraneous that just clutters me and GETGONE.   I can find another place, and maybe a better one.(not hard really, this area kinda sus,,,)  and I learned quite a lot from this run: how to do things right, and how to do things BETTER.   Like make the house at least 90% underground.  The Navajo had that much right and I should have kept that in mind when I built,,,

Semper Gumby!!!!

Its Sonday, the Leader of the Free World may have tripped over his dick last night (as one commentor over at BCE’s place illudicated so frelling well,,, go read Ragin D’s comments,,, beautiful poetry, IMO.)  and I am giving it 72 hours to see what happens, what fallout begins, or what the BRICS reaction to all of this will be.    First things first, I am going to go fill all of my fuel tanks to max, because I do believe that fuel costs are set to go through the roof here shortly.

I may put up more later, will see what the brainium comes up with, what outside inputs stir the pot and create new connections and slurries.   Gonna be an interesting ride for a few weeks/months, pray it ain’t years.

No animosity here,,,,

Coz has no issues with Kitteh helping himself to Dawgum food,,,   Elbee likes the Salmon that I am feeding Cozzie, and he helps himself to some of the choicer nibbles, and Coz just watches, or even eats right alongside him.   

Coz is on a raw diet for a couple of weeks.  and after three days, it does seem to be helping, some at least.   Boy still has some of the raunchiest farts around though.   I’ve heard ALL pitties are farty puppies,,,  Don’t recall that with my daughters pup, but that was years back and she was busy building her own life at that time, so our visits were hit or miss.   I have probiotics to give to him and I will start adding them to his diet in a couple of days.   Hopefully that will ease the raunch: with as bad as they are, I don’t expect to eliminate them completely.  The boy will clear an open air porch, no lie!!!

But,,,,   I am VERY happy to see “no food aggression” in him.   And on that note, he and Elbee are actually pretty tight.   Elbee decided it was a night out and took off just before sunset.   Cozz has been moping on the porch ever since, wondering where his buddy went off to, watching the wood line where Elbee usually returns from, waiting, patiently,,,

poor pupper,,,

I didn’t get a picure of it, but this afternoon, during siesta time, they were laying on the porch, back to back, zonked right out without a care in the world.  Snuggled up like homies.   I know Zooms isn’t all that fond of him yet, but give it time,,, At least Zooms is coming home again.  Mama,,,   What can I say: she hates everyone, tolerates at best and whacks on everyone, including me.  She’s just the psycho kitteh Queen around here.   (and why I much prefer Tomkats now.   They seem much more laid back about life, and don’t take themselves too seriously, unless there is a femmefatale about,,, then its ALL seriousness,,,)

On the world stage, Trump is, right now,  announcing to the world that he ordered the strike against Irans Nuclear program sites and that all three have been obliterated.   Assuming intel has thier shit wired tight, then I would say the call is correct, but it leaves a big can of worms, laying open in the sun getting all stinky.  I think things just got escalated on the world stage, (and Iran issued a statement that all Americans are now targets, no ifs ands or buts about it.)   I just keep watching.   I can’t worry about it, too much going on that is so far out of my hands.   I just keep the prep buiding going.   You should to!   Who knows which way the wind is blowing here: I can only hope that we keep boots off the ground this go’round in the ME.   The neoCONS have no sense of proportion and have raped our military of usefulness over the last 25 years, squandered their budgets on toys that don’t work and let the arsenals go dry.  (fact, the bombs that were dropped on Iran tonight were likely over 20 years old, and considered NEW by usual armament standards.   Our best fliers are older than that, including the B2’s that delivered the ordinance.)  Matt Bracken pointed out just the other day, that ALL of our military personel number under a quarter million (I believe 175,000 was what he quoted)   thats ALL of them, not just the trigger pullers, and more than 2/3rds are support and logistics, not trigger pullers.    Those numbers don’t add up to well when things go kinetic with boots on ground. (look at the numbers from the Ukraine/Russia thing, and thats been going on for 4 years now,,,,  )  I don’t want to see American soldiers and Marines dying again.

Add to that ‘don’t wanna see dying again’,,, Navy and National Gaurd.    They, those that won’t ever be held accountable for war, or feel its fires, will have no issues sending the young’uns to die for their power plays.  

That is what my time in taught me.   I was one of the lucky ones, being in a war that lasted literal days, not years.    But I learned that lesson well. (and some might say ‘maybe TOO well, ya unpatriotic bastache!’   Yeah,,, whatever… I love my country, I love the Constitution, I love the general attitude of AMERICANS .  I despise the majority of those that claim the title ‘representative of the people’.)

And I still think this is all smoke and mirrors to something much bigger going on that is being kept hush-hush.  The BRICS are still in play, and right now, two of those players have every sign of following Sun-Tzu’s teaching “Why fight when your enemy is destroying himself”,,,  

Think about it.

Last night, around 10:45pm, summer solstice happened.  Today is showing itself to be a few minutes shorter than yesterday.   The turning point of the year, summer begins to fade into fall and winter.

I missed it, completely slipped by me until I checked my emails this morning.  Not that I keep a religious thing on solstices and equinoxes, but I like to do a paddle day on the turns and humps.   Then again, I missed the winters solstice this past year too.  

Fact, I’ve been VERY lax with kayaking this year, and I don’t know why.  I still fly a boat and keep the gear in the truck, just,

dunno,,,

Boredom?   the “Been there done thats” and want new water under my keel?   Some, yes,,, but can’t be all of it because unlike earth, water isn’t static, its always changing so the area I paddled through on the way out may be a chaotic mess on the way back in.   Desire to be with Friends?   More that, me thinks.    Even with my lower paddle rates, I am still getting in more paddle time than most of my group is.    Dawgum?    Thats just an excuse.   He’s doing much better about staying put at home, getting along with the kats.   I would like to take him with, and until I get a sit on or canoe, that ain’t happening.   May not happen at all as he shows quite a bit of fear of water at this stage (which I need to address still.)

Not only the world at a turning point, but me as well.   Something is shifting in my little world and while the water still calls, the fresh water calls less and less.   I imagine smelling salt and brine.   Feeling stiff breezes unmarred by trees and hills.    May be imagination, but there is memory there as well.  Not memory of paddling on salt water, but living near it.   Had I found kayaks back then, this story would be told from a different point of view,,,,

An associate on FB is in Carlsbad CA this week, posted pics there.   Oh, the tug of heart strings when I saw the storm clouds over the pacific off shore; I could TASTE the salty breeze, the mingling of fresh rainwater with salty spray on my lips,,,,,   LONGING,,,,,

sigh   

I used to walk down to the beach during storms,,, Loved the sound of the waves and the wind in my face.   Saw a few waterspouts off shore that were just incredible to witness (even saw fish fall from the sky afterwards, which was a surprise the first time.)   And I wasn’t the only ‘storm watcher’ there.   There would be several of on the beach, soaking wet and grinning like fools, feeling all of that energy about us, grounded barefeet in wet sand, tempting the fates with lightning strikes.   Yes, dumb and crazy, but so invigorating,,,,,

Why did they have to screw up California so bad (don’t answer that, the land is unchanged, its only some of the people on it and the insanity that changed.)   My favorite part of California was the fact that I could go surfing in the morning, then drive a couple of hours and go skiing at Big Bear mountain, all in the same day.   Or, swimming in the ocean in the morning, then walking a desert path in the Sierras later the same day.  Diversity of environments was an absolute treat to me.  

of course I was much younger and not as broken down then.  But also dumber and living on instinct and bouncing around from a bad marriage like a pinball stuck between two kickerpads.   Took me years to get my shit straight and that took coming into these hills to be a hermit to do.   Had I followed my gut then (which I didn’t quite trust yet,,,) I could have done the same thing there    Hindsight, 20/20, ladeedahdeedah,,,,

as for LOAD,,,,    Get ya some MRE’s on the cheapy-cheap,, Seriously CHEAPY-CHEAP!!!!  Calculated at $2.66 a bag,  thats a 2500 calorie MEAL for less than a questionable content burger at one of the fast food joints.   Yeah, I’m gonna get a cut if you follow that link, and I did order myself a couple of cases (following BCE’s linky so he gets some love out of it.)  These things don’t go bad, despite the date thingy.    Personally saw some 5 years out of date in circulation while in the Corps and they were still issueing them and they tasted fine, for what thats worth of the older five fingers of death bags,,,(if you know, you KNOW,,,LOL)  And even if you aren’t on the Prime thingy on Zon, $6.99 shipping is dirt cheap for a couple of cases of these things (or more than a couple, since the shipping rate stays the same on the Zon).

Go read this first, and see if you can see the word twists that are in play to convince you of a certain POV,,,,

Do you see it?   It’s pretty blatantly obvious to me, and one reason why I only, usually, scan things on most sites.   The koolaid runs deep and fast these days.

Look, I don’t give a rat’s ass about  “Ze JOOOZZZZZ”, either in Israel or abroad.   I have had Jewish friends and we got along just fine, fully understanding my beliefs aren’t theirs nor theirs mine.   I don’t give a rat’s ass about the Mullahs and the Muzzies (though I will happily take a shot or three when given the chance, ONLY due to their ‘religion of peace’ that ain’t, and its dogma to stamp on people of any ‘faith’ not thiers,,,)

ANYwhoozzzz,,,, one thing was brought up by another writer (I believe Sarah Hoyt, but I know I read it online,,) “When an enemy state calls you the Great Satan and says you need wiped off the map, You should probably listen,,,”  And its no bullshit that such were the words that have been repeated since 1979 about the US and Israel BY IRAN,,,   Ya might wanna listen, and keep an eye on things.   If such a state were to acquire Nukes, with the ideology that we needed exterminated, I would be inclined to do all I could to keep such a state from getting the Canned Sunshinies too.    And that IS what has been going on behind the scenes and in front of the curtain for decades,,,     WHY in the hell Oblammy and the Puppet sent that state PALLETS OF CASH in appeasement is beyond me.      If they were really willing to deal, they should have started at the negotiating table for their resources, like crude oil; not demanded ‘tribute’ to keep the peace (that like all Muslim countries, is a false face they like to display while the money goes to sub-sects to power MORE terrorist functions.)  Still, if someone says you need erradicated, you might want to take note and act accordingly.             What we are seeing is just that, despite such Memes as this.

The reason I question that meme?   If the intel coming out that the head military guy was a double agent of Israel, than yah, they have been beating thier heads against a wall thinking they had thier shit inline,,,   Who else is a double agent in their system?    No one but those in play know, or they were found and are now dead,,,,    Fact is, us ‘Normies’ are likely to never know the real details,,, Hell, all of those ‘nuke refineries’ they have hit so far, might be soap factories for all we know.  Not that I question that, just making a statement from my usual contrarian side.

Here’s my stance, I do have problems with Muslim advancement around the globe.   We have centuries of history to show that such is NOT a good thing for those of other faiths, no matter what faith that is.   Yes, there are countries where such can live side by side in peace, FOR THE MOST PART, but its a historical fact that once the muslim side reaches a majority, the other side is doomed to replacement or assimilation.    Just look at Bengladesh, 91.4% muslim, in an area that at one time was DOMINANT in Hinduism(7.9%)/Buddhism (.6%) (percentage points as of 2022)   (And the country is socialist to boot,,, but thats another tirade,,,,,,)

For a short spell in world history, the Islamic influence was rather contained within the Ottoman empire, rarely seeking to roam.  Prior to that, it was Crusade after Crusade and the Muzzies made it as far as France on occasion, dominating several countries for years/decades before being driven out.   And the tune is always the same: Oppression of ALL faiths not Islam,,, Period.    Just look to modern day Africa and the muslim spread that so rarely gets covered by the Globalists Media that wants to hold the Peaceful Religion narrative. (why?  Its a dangerous position to hold that doesn’t certify safety later,,,  Stoopid is as stoopid does I guess,,,)

sigh,,,,

Will this species NEVER learn?   Are we doomed to follow ideologies that are really just power plays to keep certain types in the top tiers?   While the rest of the world just wants to get along, be left alone to live, breed, and pursue happiness?   I could go on and on about that ‘leave me alone’ thing, but seriously, of all the faiths, history shows that, with very few exceptions, the faith was commandeered and twisted to keep certain types in power.   YES, even the Catholic faith IMO,,, The ‘holy’ roman empire was built on Christian beliefs, and yet, if you look at the original characters, there were many from the Roman Empire still at the top rungs,,,   That most of the Bible (new testament actually) was written decades after the Crucifixion, some as many as hundreds of years after,,, and then you have the canons that were edited OUT by the holy see: For what purpose,,, that they didn’t fit with the narrative of the Church.  IE, they countered the dogma that the Church wished to convey, and that was to control the masses.  Granted in a much more sublime way that Physical threats of bodily harm, (though they had their fair share of that as well. ) but feeding on the fear of the unknown to control people in their daily lives.    And it kept the entirity of  Europe in poverty for centuries. 

Believe what you want to believe, matters NOT to me, so long as you respect my choice to not believe it and believe as I wish.    If you start threatening my life or livelihood because of differing beliefs,,, THEN we have a problem and YES, I will raise up arms over it.   The Non-aggression principle does not say NO VIOLENCE, EVER,,,  for one, I ain’t Gandhi, (and I personally feel, his actions would have came to short end if he had to work against the Japanese of the time, vs the Brits, who actually were looking for a way out anyways.)

Ok,,, Long winded post,,, I’ll leave it there for now, as things are still escalating or about to fizzle or something.   Ain’t looking good, and I would hope that at least Trumped and Putin are able to keep sane heads long enough to work a fizzle, not the doorstep to WWIII,,,   

So, instead,,,, have a picture of a kat!!!!

Nothing wrong with the littles eyes, either,,, he was starting to doze when I snapped that.  No name yet either, but he is definitely becoming “ShopKAT”.   I spent a few hours in the shop today, building gates and such, making noize with chopsaws, running the welder, sparkies flying about, and that little one was unfazed by it.  Playing around, jumping around on the shelving, chasing bugs,,, being kitten.    He’s staying in his crate (door open) when no one is around and staying in the shop away from large dawgums that have no sense of proportion in play.   Son of Bossman and I are of the mind to keep him around as most of the older shop kats have either crossed that bridge in some way, or moved on,,,,  I usually see only two of the ferals and they never come in the shop.   And they can never be tamed at this stage (at least 2 years old and always been wild).    Time to raise one,,,  If he can stay away from the dogs until he’s bigger.  (once the kats hit near 6 months, the dogs lose interest: sharp claws on sensitive noses have taught them lessons they won’t unlearn.)   This is not in my hands, as I won’t bring him home to disrupt an already tenuous situation, even if only for the weekend.    He needs to know his space as HIS space, not traveling around being confused all the time.  And if mama-nature has other plans for him,,,, sad and sorry, but not bitter about it, (and the soft hearted me will greive, but life carries on, and there will be others,,,  especially around here, which bothers me much more,,,,)

anywhoos,,, long winded, I have things   I need to do while I have some daylight left and you all don’t want to watch this post turn into a soapbox rant/maudlin’ dive into verbiage of no-import,,,,

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,,,

shots updated, rabies vax in the boy, another treatment for the parasites (wish we could deal with human parasites with a chewy morsel)

and no clue about the itchiness.   Diet is best guess.  Ring worm? Nope. Mange? Nope, Fleas? had a couple on him, but he was due for the parasite thing,   The Vet did get a blast from the ass, so she is quite aware of his pootiness, and when I told her about his affinity for Salmon, she was all “Switch him out, don’t wait, he’ll adjust easily to salmom/fish diet.”

SO’ssss,,,, we stopped at the pet place he LOVES to go to, and picked up new chow for the mutt-prince (and kibble for the kittehs,, they were getting low) He showed his gregarious side, lovin’ on anyone that even looked at him, and made friends with a toddler.   He’s a good pupper, totally counter to any Pittie-myths.  

welp, I spent way more than I made today, lets just say that and leave it alone.  (rain doesn’t help any,)

Just keepin’ on, keepin’ on.   Mugginess may be partly to blame for his itchiness too.  This area is 1″ annual rainfall away from being called rainforest, and  dampness breeds fungus and molds.   I am going to start giving him mild washes of a weak epsom salt solution to maybe counter anything of that nature.  Best guess right now: see how it goes and adjust as needed.

Vet appointment made for Wednesday, early eve.  Soonest I could get.   BUT, I need this issue resolved because Cozzie is MISERABLE,,, His fur is showing it, and the gas issue is growing worse.   I’ve dropped him off the kibble completely and that seems to have eased some of the itching issues,  This got damned expensive since I tripled my raw meat purchases to keep the kids fed.   Cozzie eats as much as the three kats combined. And it’s not like he is a glutton, he’s just bigger all around.  Heck,  Voodoo was a glutton, devouring anything put near him and wanting moremoremore,,, : Cozzie will eat and leave the bowl half full and seem completely satisfied.

but that gas,,,, Oh My GAWD,,, I’ve heard Pitties are gassy dawgs, but this,,, MAN,,, Beer and TacoBell farts wouldn’t hold an edge to what this dog looses on the household.

Other than the Itchyscratchy gassy pupper, things are going well.  He is staying home now, off the lead, not chasing nor terrorizing ElGatos, (quite the opposite,, they terrorize him if he gets out of line.)   And he isn’t sneaking over to Couzins place to puppynap the littles. (like he inadvertently did over the weekend.)  I still have the training collar on him (and did need it when he kept insisting on stealing the bathmat.) but for the most part, not needed, except to get his attention, and rarely that now.  A quick snappy call of his name is usually enough now.    The staying home thing was a HUGE blessing and ease of my spirit.  I dislike restraining dogs in this area.  Restrained dogs tend to end up dead for various reasons, mostly because  they can’t escape whatever threats happen by.  Bears aren’t really the issue, its the strays and Yotes.   A restrained dog is easy pickin’s for coyote, and they have no issues with eating ‘their own’, unlike us.

Anywhooos,,,, its HOT, just enough breeze on the porch to make life tolerable, in-house is cooler, but the air flow feels better, and it’s been an interesting day that needs unwound from.   Pooty dawgum resting on my feet, and two smug satisfied looking kittehs bathing on the east wing of the porch (shaded and breezy from the woods)   Its time to relax and let the day go,,,

(p)Update:  Tonight, I was prepping lunch stuff for myself for the morrow, and cracked open a can of Red Salmon.   Before I had the top half off, Cozzie was about climbing my leg snuffin’ and interested like never before.   Curious, sacrifice the can to see what he does.    GONE, bones and all, GONE,,, LOVED IT, looking around for more, relicking the bowl several times to make sure he didn’t miss anything.    I found what his body is craving, and there is plenty of good stuff in Salmon for his skin and fur,,,   Still, going to see the Vet and get her advice, and fill her in on my observations and his reactions to such.  (like the fact that he’ll grudgingly eat beef, prefers chicken, but apparently ADORES fish, at least Salmon for now.  Gonna have to try tunas and such to see further,)
