Sarahs Take

Kim du Toit’s take.

My take was posted yesterday,,,

I agree with both writers, about something being ‘off’ with Elon.  Psychologically speaking.    Maybe the “Most Brilliant Man in History” crap went to his head.  Maybe there are drugs involved, as gossiped about earlier this year.  

I won’t delve on a mans personal issues. 

I WILL DELVE on leaving the system alone as it stands right now.   Any ‘rocking the boat’ has shown that it invariably benefits the Democrats, by dividing the GOP peeps.   Yes, we are stuck with the system as it is, so long as the media is bought and paid for.   ANY monkeywrenching on that and your ‘starship go boom!’,,,,

And that whole release about ‘no evidence’ on Epstein,,,,,, I’m buttoning my mouth about it right now,,,,   Could be that all of that evidence has been destroyed internally,,, and if so, then, yah, Patel, Bongino and krew would have to ‘reach that conclusion’,,,, BUT, right now, this smells worse than a three day old roadkilled skunk.    More as more comes out,,, that rule of 72 thing.

——————————————-

Ok,,, not going to go all in tonight,,, I have a RILLYrilly early wake up call, and we are scheduled to be on the road at 0530,,,  Ugggghhhhhhhh!    So I WILL be calling it an early night.   Still need to pack for a three day away thing, Kids are in good hands with Da and Unk, I haven’t bombed the EvilCuz’s mutts YET, so there is little need for ‘retribution’ at this stage.   I only worry that with me gone, Cozzie might get lonely and go looking for some fun.   I think, by his recent actions around the stead, ‘that direction’ is off limits by his discretion.   He’ll happily, tail awag, bouncy jog alongside Da’s fourwheeler, go see Unk and his dawgum.  Even bouncy run along side the fourwheeler as Da leaves.   BUT, When he hits the end of my driveway leading towards EvilCuz’s,,, Stops dead and looks wistful.

I think he will be fine.  And I think I got the message through to EvilCuz, that ‘if your dogs are off your property, they are targets.”

And I wasn’t the only one.   There were several hunters in the area that told him flat out “if your dogs are seen up there in the woods, they are dead meat. ”   fact is, said dogs have run off all the deer and the turkey here’bouts.     Not that they were chasing them (they may have, dunno) but the deer and turkey are bright animals and will mitigate dangers by relocating.  These hunters have been using these woods for generations, and THEY ARE PISSED.

Here is what I do know about this situation.   When we had a change in Magistrate here locally, the section of road I live on was re-designated to a private drive.   THAT is why the dog-catchers hands were tied.  If this were considered an actual roadway, he would have options.    There are a couple of options to rectify that matter, but its time consuming and can be rather costly (to me especially as I have to make some changes to my house and have its status ‘upgraded’ from homestead to HOME.)   But I think the current trend is going to accomplish the needed changes.  (I’ve also put a bug in EvilCuz’s brothers ear, the only person that EC listens to, even a little, and also something of his benefactor,,,

I’m still playing ‘nice’,,, for now.    They really don’t want to see what happens when ‘nice’ is over and done.   (and I still maintain a silence there,,, for good reason.   Much like BCE is in radio silence right now.     KYMS   keep your mouth shut!    Like the Miranda,,, anything you say, can and WILL be used against you.  (and for the semantically inclined,,, note the definitive there, CAN and WILL be used against you.  meaning even if you are innocent, any statement you make will be twisted, edited and used out of context,,,,   It says it right there,,   Best to shut your yap and stand that ground,,,)  (side note: I know many people these days, that if it comes to a confrontation with the cops, they feel strongly that they won’t get a fair trial in any way; so F! it!, go down swinging, dying on a pile of spent brass instead.)

Hey,,, I thought I was cutting this short,,,, ROFLMAO

Elon,,, sorry, ya missed the boat there.  This appears to be caterwauling, not sensible debate. 

FACT: there are several parties involved in EVERY AMERICAN ELECTION,,,

FACT:  the EneMedia chooses to NOT cover any of those other parties.

FACT: its a money game, pure and simple, nothing at all about choice.   We are permitted to see only one of two sides of the same damned coin, and if you get a view of the others, for even a brief moment, there immediately follows a slew of mudslinging by the media.  There is NO choice in modern day politics,, just an illusion of such.   Yes, I am glad that some of Trumpeds promises are being kept.  Sadly, the ones that would actually create change, drain the swamp, are being steadfastly ignored.    I’ve even noted that there is a spin being applied to the JFK files being released: spin to cover over the truth, yet again.

Not that it matters,,,  99% of the population couldn’t give a rats ass less about things at that level: they are too concerned with just making it through the week and keeping afloat in economic downturns.

Get a grip Elon, this is nothing personal and you should well know it.   Your level in the game of finance should have taught you well enough by now, that the money doesn’t flow from the people, as it should, but IS controlled by the bankers, fleecing the populace of the world for thier own ends.  We are merely the means,,,   Those that wrote and passed the “BigBeautifulBill” <gag> were bought and paid for or blackmailed into submission.   Look how many of the ‘opposing side’ voted for it.   I look at the Conservative/R’s that voted against it, and see people we need to promote along,,,  (And the dems that voted for it need to be looked at further: are they ‘coming to sanity’ or were they bought by the ‘conservative’ side?    Questions that will never be answered, sadly.)

IF you really want to start another party, use the Porcupine as its emblem,   Going forth day to day, quietly armed to the teeth, not making a ruckus, but not putting up with bullshit either.    AND THAT, should be the main goal of any new party going against the establishment,,,,

or this,,,

————————————————————

I see all of this shit and,,,,

read the bullshit meter on the desk,,,,

and my attitude shifts to,,,

and let the headbutting commence!!!!

Fuggem!    It’s all a power game and the real power doesn’t want to be seen.  The fucktards we ‘elect’ (without real choice in the matter) are just window dressings/cutouts/fall guys, for when the bottom finally falls out of this rust bucket simularcum of a constitutional republic.   It could be argued that we haven’t had a CR since FDR,,, I say we lost it in 1865 and its been a ractchet strap issues ever since.

and its all ILLUSION,,,   reality is in your face, everyday, the news points are stories to distract us,,,, the kittehs playing in the monks lap,,,,

L,L,L,L,L!

I ain’t there yet.

and it shows in my day to day peace,,,   Still turmoil and strife that breaks my ‘cool’.

Last night, I went off about the obesity thing here in the blog.   I have a point in my past that applies bias to that prejudice: my mother was always heavy, and it carries over to this day.  Even middle sis carries some of that bias, and we have talked about it on more than one occasion.  (especially around the time of my mothers demise.)

SO,,, todays post, completely out of context with my Sondays posts, (since I did my domestics yesterday, I can play today) will NOT be about Meditating monks and kittehs, but a vent of sorts, so that I can depressurize one of my many points of contention.

I get troubled when I see the contents of packaged foods.    Corn products and soy products in EVERYTHING,,,    When I was returning from Kuwait, we had a stop in Bengledesh; a humanitarian effort to relieve them after a serious monsoon blew through and created mad flooding.   Thousands dead (maybe 10’s of thousands.)   When we arrived at the Dock, the people there were offended by what we had brought, and at the time, I, ignorant little Jarhead I was, thought,” you ungrateful fuckers!”,,,  

It took a few years and some learning on my part to understand that, THERE, what we brought them was considered cattle feed, and guess what: THEY DON’T EAT THEIR CATTLE,,,,   That last part did mess with my mind for many years and can still be a glitch in my thinking.   I mean, we, as a species are omnivores, and yet, the hindi are very much vegetarian, and have been for thousands of years.   (not the Vegan of Western world.  they do eat fish and eggs and such,,,)    But seriously, you have a 2000# heffer roaming the streets while people are dying of starvation, and you get pissed off about someone bringing you cattle feed?   For an uneducated Jarhead, that was beyond the pale.     (For the record, it was corn and corn meal that we brought them.)

Even here in America, as far back as the Civil War, corn was not a staple.  It was used as cattle feed, as a base for making alcohol, (and was far easier to ship long distance in the latter form) but only used as a supplement to human diet, not the main courses.   NOW, as one can see if you read packaging contents, its in everything, even the drinks that we are so inclined to.    (and there is a strong relation to sugars and cancer: look at the cancer rates since the 60’s, when corn syrup was ‘being encouraged’ , to now.)

Moderation is key,,,

and yet, these products are ubiquitous in our food supply.    GMO products at that, since the only way they can produce that much is by modifying existing seed to grow in conditions not optimal.   We feed our cattle on that crap, and then we eat the meat from said cattle,

and we get fatter and fatter.   And I’m not talking the uniform fat of gluttony, but the cattle-like fat: skinny legs and arms with bodies blown out of proportion.  You’ve seen them, they look like walking beachballs on stilts.   Just like a meat producing cow has a wide girth, but thin boney legs.

And the kids.  I can not recall seeing many ‘fatties’ in school when I was a kid.  Oh, they were there: one of my best friends was diag’ed with Diabetes at the tender age of 12.   He was an outlier, not average.   Now, and I have some experiance with while working around the schools for my J.O.B., that rotund look is the average, and the lean mean athletic types are the outliers. 

It’s not all food related, of course.   There is a lot more sedentary living going on, with the Information age booming.  Games on computers, where when I was a kid, it was all outside, running feral, drinking from garden hoses, living on dirt and sunshine, make your own fun, and maybe bleed a bit in the doing,,,

Now the playgrounds have rubber based ground, or 12″ of mulch, NO HARD PIPING like shown above,,, everything is rounded edges, smooth surfaced and SOFT,,,   THAT is thanks to Lawfare of course, not the Food industry,,,  but the point is along the same lines.  We are growing a softer generation(s) and they ARE our future.   Yet, they will needed coddled and supported near as much as we will in our infirm aging bodies.   WHO is going to provide that, when we are all falling apart from bad health and a medical establishment that is run as a business model.

KNOWING,,, That’s my problem, innitIT?  (“isn’t it” for my UK readers,,,)  I see it, and being but on small voice in the electronic void, can do little more than scream holler and rant.  

So I attempt to meditate with kittens playing on me.

Too many posts,,,, LOL

Last night was enlightening.   Sunset rolled around and I heard few boomers going off, and no, there was not a restriction placed on fireworks for drought reasons.  We’ve had more than enough rain to keep things tamped down, even if we hadn’t had it in 48 hours. 

Even the local city show was short and sweet.  About 15 minutes.

And it wasn’t a lack of fireworks.   It seemed to me that we had more than the usual number of fireworks tents around the area.  (and today, the number of cars at them was stellar,,, grabbing up that clearance stuff while its hot and available.)(Note, they are allowed to clear out inventory this day only,,, if they haven’t sold it, they sit on it for another year.)

Here’s what I am thinking.  

People are still paying $4/carton of eggs, OR MORE, and that really dings the wallet; thats just one marker.  We ARE seeing more drop offs as the summer progresses, so people are judging its cheaper to lose the pet than to feed them.  (I’ve been all over this and how much I hate that aspect of this area, but I can use it as an economic gauge as well.) Gas, while it hasn’t gone up (much) hasn’t fallen to pre-Biden days either.   Still well over $2.50/gal.  

People are feeling the pinch, and fireworks, while fun, are literally blowing money into smoke and noise.   Better things that same money can be spent on.   Even with the EBT bennies, people are watching those nickles a lot more.   (and I fully blame the EBT/Welfare racket for our current status.   When a retailer has to wait for the end of month for the EBT deposits to clear, they want to see ‘cash’ a whole lot more in the in-between.   Even debit cards that are directly (electronically) attached to a real account clear faster than EBT does: nearly, though not quite, as fast as Cash.  (and have you noted how few are willing to accept a personal check these days?  Look around, its pretty big.)

I keep saying all the fun and games of bunker busters and BigBeautifulBills (choke) and riots and NO ARRESTS nor LISTS of participants (seriously starting to think that Trumped IS on that list,,,)  

Its all Kabuki theater to keep the real issues behind smoke and mirrors.   Its what they aren’t saying that is worrying me.  The Iran and Israel ’12 day war’  is/was staged events from all the information coming out.   That we cut all shipments of armaments to the Kraine is telling as well. (should have never started but hey,,, I’m a dust mote in the eye of the internet.   NAY!, smaller than that even.)  And that most of Russias investment in Iran has been obliterated and Putin did nothing,,,,  (nothing in the public eye, who knows what calls were made, deals made behind closed doors and under the radar sorta things.)(maybe our cutting armaments to the Kraine was part of that, who knows, but its pretty telling that both are closely related in time and space.)

And ya know what?   IDGAFF!!!    At least not about the world stage.  Shits to kray-kray on the local scene to give a damn what the wannabeTyros are doing.  its not like I can stop them,,,  All I can do is what I’m doing right here, right now: talking about it and hoping others can see what I see.  That we are pawns on a board game, and until we say, “I WILL NOT COMPLY”, we will remain as such,

So many are scared of ‘No Government’ but fail to see that Government is the problem.    Entitled classes of people that carry no weight, but are drains on the system, all by Government decree.  While the ones that support the system get totally shit on, and raped financially.   This was my big argument with Lawyer boy: ‘if you want more of something, you subsidize it.  Less? You tax it.” and he immediately went into that progressive fall back, ‘think of the children’ argument,,,  I just threw my hands in the air,,,  

A hermitage is not the answer, though it sounds so frellin’ good to me right now.   Just throw in the towel, load a pack or a kayak and GO, no looking back… 

Ain’t gonna happen, but oh so very tempting,,,,

I don’t know if I was born in the wrong time period, but those days back in the early 1900’s look better than the world as we have now.  Maybe the medicine was worse, but then, I look at pictures of the people then and the obesity factor was magnitudes smaller than now.  Walking through a wallyworld today (don’t ask, it was an essential need.)and the number of blubberized Landwhales,,,,   Shush Dio,, ya ain’t exactly a skinny either!  {fuck off you!,,, I know the belly ain’t what it was, but THAT is the only issue I face.} <and lets face it,,, our diets, all the processed shit, chemical additives, high carb GMO laden GARBAGE we are allowed to consume (if you want to stay in a budget that is) is NOT helping the obesity problem.>

ROFLMAO,,, yes, guys, that is a little window into my mind, the conversations I have with myself, and why Brudda B always tells me “stop overthinking this”,,,   cause he can see the multiple lines of thought crossing my face,,,  I can’t poker face for shit,,,

On that note,,, I saw where big pharma is attempting to drive RFKjr out of the picture.    I don’t agree with all he has said, but there are things in our world that are not right and he has proof that these things are no small part of why our health in this country is questionable.   Add in, that at least half of the drugs being advertized are psychotropic mood stablizers (aimed at women,, Hmm,,,) or correcting physical issues like obesity and ALL have side effects that, as advertized, seem far worse than what they are targeting,,,,   I listen to Pandora at work, Free version so I get the commercials,,, and almost all of them are Pharma, or gambling.(with the obligatory pandora prime commercial tossed in)   And there have been a slew of new ones for mental health, online therapy groups.   

Yah,,, We’s all fuggin Nutzo

If someone were trying to destroy this nation, without firing a shot, THIS would be the method they would employ.  Health and mental degradation:   We are THERE.   Throw in Division groups, racial, ethniic, political, ideological, and you have a recipe for collapse, needing only one spice to make the recipe complete: Hyper-inflation.

We haven’t hit the hyper point YET, but when it comes, it comes on fast, like a Starship exploding over the Bahamas.  (sorry Elon,,, I hadta)

Anyone recall from history, what happens when a country dives into the Hyper-Inflation mode?   (Weimar Republic,  Zimbabwe, others lesser known,)   And its not just the economy that implodes, but that culprit at the top. GOVERNMENT.  

And people still beg for government to ‘fix it’.,,,, Little pansies protected from their own bad choices,,,  TRUE Freedom is not protection, but risk: you make a bad choice, you suffer the consequences.    And our Government is full of people that have never been punched in the face for bad choices.

Sitting here on the porch, really quiet out there for a Fourth of July, last night especially.   Usual is mortars going off until near or after midnight,,,  Last night,,  not much at all.   An occasional shell let loose; more like test fires, then silence for an hour followed by another test fire somewhere else.  

Strange,,,

And my kids are crazy,,,   Kids in this case are Elbee and Cosmos,,,    They’ve been playing this morning, and are bestest buddies now.   I was sitting here and suddenly Coz came flying around the west side of the house like the hounds of hell were on his ass (I went into alert mode thinking Cuzin’s dogs were loose) followed by Elbee on the chase.   Cat Chases Dawg!!!   Its been like that all morning; quiet playing, but full of energy and rushing, having an absolute blast of a time being young and fluff headed.

the good old days.

Then I jumped on the nets and saw a brother has fallen into a mess of life.

DO NOT SEND DONATIONS TO HIS PAYPAL.   There was an update and his paypal account is compromised.  use his email addy to contact him for donation information instead.    I haven’t much to spare on the financial side of things, or I would be tossing him a few sheckles.   Dood is without wheels right now and that ain’t a good place for a cornfed American Boy to be in.   He’s gonna need transport he can rely on in the upcoming months.  The best I can do right now is moral support and spread word. (my situation may change a bit and when/if, he gets first dibs.)

I find it sad that I see this situation more and more.   Not in detail, but generally speaking: guy busts his nutz for a woman, and when things seem great, the medusa comes out and hells gates open wide.   And is seemingly only with American women (or ethnic women that were second or third generation raised American.)  Now, that isn’t to say ALL American women are like that.  But I see it more and more, and yah, maybe there is that old man bias applied here,,,,   I dunno, but I can say that of all the people that I have had an interest in since Ex and I split, there was a vibe I picked up that warned me off.   Not fear, but like the signal you get when there is a snake nearbouts.  Some olfactory sense buried deep in the hind brain picks it up and you go into alert mode: CAUTION: something nasty near.

And I have seen what looked like healthy relations go sideways in short order, like 48 hours, and most always its the woman that becomes the Screeching Harpy, not the man becoming an enraged ape.   Even when the mental and financial abuse piles on, there is a generosity he holds onto, usually at his peril in said situation. 

I have said it here before.  Men are the Romantics, the woman are the practical ones.   (and I use the term  practical in its basest meaning,) 

Fuck it,,, WE IS ALL FUGGIN’ NUTZO,,,    I swear that God did that whole two genders things as a frellin joke on us,,, And that character is up there laughing his ass off at all the drama that unfolds.

Only thing I can say about all of this is from personal experiance (sorta, one is vicarious)   I have grown into a better financial realm since Ex and I split, even though I make 1/3rd of what I was making then.   I own, flat out, my own home, and what I own is in my name, not some banks name.   It may not be much, but its mine, paid for, and GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME, and I don’t need to impress anyone or appease ‘worldly desires’ to keep peace in my little world.  

My dad has stated that within 6months of his and my mothers divorce, he was in better financial shape than he had been in 15 years.   And he was a single parent raising three kids with a Mortgage on a three bedroom ranch.   “Tain’t never been rich, but we always had what we needed.”

“What I want is what I’ve not got: What I NEED, is all around me.”

Clean air, clean water, resources out the wazoo if you know what you are looking at.   The key is between the ears and behind the eyes.   We, as a species, adapted the world to our ‘wants’ but the world still provides those needs when all the wants go buh-bye.   and here I am waxing all melon-collie on ya,,    Let me explain.  For the longest time, I thought that this world was going to fail in ways that defy logic; that the grid and financial systems would implode into the void (and they may yet, but I has doubts,, things are pretty resilient even if fragile like a glass flower.)  I started studying everything that it took to build an industrial society (Engine lathe, seriously, it was the engine lathe that made this world as we know it today.) and how to start from scratch and scrap to build back.    Unka Gingery was one of my inspirations with his quote of ‘I try to figure out how to build a $50 part with $0.50, then the rest of the time trying to find the $0.50,,,,,” 

Yes, we need the dichotomy of gender to keep the species alive, BUT FOR CHRISTS SAKES LADIES, we do NOT need the drama,,, And yes, I am saying that to the ladies because it always seems to start on that side,,,

AND TO THE MEN: Stop feeding that beast.   She wants drama, go silent, walk away, be strong, be stern.  And for fucks sake, cover your ass in this world of lawfare,,, Keep your financial side of things, YOURS.

I’m all over the place today,  brain ascramble, thinking, not thinking, thinking too much, but not thinking proper-like,,,,  

pretty much like the rest of the world seems to be doing of late:  We are all mad here,,, this asylum is off the rails.

Something to ponder in that statement,,, But not here, not today,,,

more laters, and be safe out there today enjoying whatever festivities you may enjoin.

Well, maybe not maximum, but there are more and more times where the memory is there, but the links are broken.

Like in yesterdays post, where I attributed a Niven acronym to Heinlein,,,

Ooops

In my defense, I haven’t read the Ringworld series in at least 15 years; maybe closer to 20.   I recall the last time I read it was when Self and Ex were still together and had just purchased our house.  We were setting up the bookshelves and the resulting reading binge that brought on,     I don’t think we turned on a Boobtoob for a month or more, STRAIGHT, since as soon as we were able after the days grinds, the books were out and noses embedded in them.  

FWIW, there was a bookshelf in EVERY room in that house.  Even the Kitchen (that was a revolving content shelf, with only two cookbooks that were constant residents.) Yup, we would read even while cooking.   Total biblioholics.

Still there, and the stack of books I have next to my desk for digestion never seems to shrink, even though I can definitely see the growing hoard on the shelf, to attest that there has been headway.  

But the memory banks need defragged.   Some errors have been occuring.

Something that has been popping up a lot on my feeds lately, yes, a commercial, but this one in particular rather bothers me.   Its for an AI ran ‘reader’ app.  Where you can install a pdf file or scan a page, and the app will read it to you.   And its popular as heck right now.  (not that I have any interest in it, I much prefer to see the words, not hear them.  I  can listen in, but I can never visualize like when I am reading the words.  Even in lectures, I need the written words to fully grasp the subject.) 

What truly bothers me about this App: so many now don’t like to read, its a chore, tiresome, a bother, will ‘put me to sleep’ etc etc.    Of course as a writer, this trend bothers me, but its not just the financial side to the writers,,, its that reading is almost ‘unacceptable’ now.    And this, to me, is signal that we are on the rapidly falling downward slope of ‘Dumbing down’    80IQaverage dead ahead, looming like a mountain the in the cockpit window of a 747 at cruise speed.

And then I glance in my neighbors direction and think, “Looming?  nope,,, we’ve already impacted,,,”

I could go on so many different rants on this line of thought,, from the dumbing down of our populace, to the institutionalized aspects that have led us here, to The Marxist indoctrination that has taken hold of so many of the young. (btw, My favorite lawyer is back for a brief spell at the J.O.B. and we have been debating “Capitalism vs Socialism” the last couple of days.    I can’t wait until he passes the bar, and starts REAL WORLD lessoning.  LOL,,, that indoctrinated crap is gonna fall apart like tissue paper in the rain.)   

Yes, that conversation took place as well.   I am not the Eebbil Capitalist anymore,,, I am the radical anarchist (in his perception) 

You’d think as much as we debate, the others might take a lesson or two home with them.   HA!!!   Hahahaahaha!!!!   I asked Burnout what he learned while listening to us debate; “you guys use a lot of big words,,,,”  ((for the record, more than two syllables and Burn out thinks its a ‘big word’,,,))

Swwwooooooooshhhhhhhhh!!!! the sound of debate flying right over heads,,,,

Y’all wonder why I wanna move?  I just wanna get to where I feel ‘Average’, not that tall nail in the middle of the floor.   (obviously, there are other factors involved, but THAT, is at the heart of the matter,,,,  Its very hard to have a battle of wits with unarmed persons,,, and I NEED those ‘battles’ to keep the edge on my weapon.  Its feeling rather blunted these days.)   I may not agree with the opposition, but so long as they are willing to civilly debate points, I’m all in.   I loved living near the University back after Ex and I split.   If I needed REAL mental stimulation, not just printed words, I could go to any of several coffee houses or bars and dive right in.

I’m not that good, but I could have a blast with some of the more foolish ‘intellects’.   And his point about saving that tuition and getting a library card: DAMNED SKIPPY!!!!  And now its even easier, with the nets (though you have to be 20 times more careful that you aren’t falling down an algorithm sourced rabbit hole of bunk. Looking at you, flat-earthers!)

The brain,, lots of synapsi and nuerons, and very much like a muscle: if you don’t use it, it gets weak.   Mine has been doing repetitive exercises but not getting a real work out in a long time.  Days like today with the ‘kid Lawyer’ are absolute TREATS to me.   I get to flex a bit,   Clear out some of the gunk and dust that clutters the channels with the downtime of solitude.

Anywhooossss,,,,, Tomorrow is INDEPENDENCE DAY,,,, I have no clue what y’all have planned, fact; I have no clue what I have planned at this point.   I’ve been so into my rut of work, eat, sleep lately, that a three day weekend was a handful of sand in the tiny gears of my reality.  

I’ll likely be up in the wee hours, and post up something appropriate for the day.

for those not initiated in Heinlein Larry Niven; TANJ means ‘there ain’t no justice’,,,(Francis pointed out my faux pas and I have made the correction.  TY Francis)

No recourse through the legal channels.  Dog Catcher told Da, flat out,,, “he can have as many dogs as he can feed, no restraints or leads, and there is nothing at all I can do about it.  There are no laws on the books in KY about that.”

BUT, He also said, if we were to start shooting them, THEY had no recourse either.  So long as the shooting was off his property.   The rule there is “Menacing animal” and it has years of precedence.

Dad told me that the GF came down to his house and was gloating that ‘Dio didn’t gain a thing by calling them’,,,   Gotcha Bitch,,, I see your true colors ONCE AGAIN.   So I came home and fired off some screaming bottle rockets over their place,,, then decided that my rifles needed sighted in again.   I set up a target in the side yard (that old toilet I had replaced and hadn’t hauled off to solid waste yet) drew some bullseyes on it and went to town with both the Henry and the AR.   Nothing in her direction, but with just enough angle the cracks and booms would carry VERY WELL in her direction.   

Seeing how she has a bench warrant on her, “go ahead,  call the cops, make a complaint.   I’m the upstanding citizen in this mess, who are they gonna believe, You, the felon with a warrant for arrest, or the guy with a spot free record?”  Besides, there is no law in these parts that says I am not allowed to sight in my rifles from my porch, and I have the proof that was what I was doing.   One seriously blown apart toilet in my yard,,, and not in line with thier place from my porch,,,   (besides, my shooting reputation shows, IF, I were aiming at them, They wouldn’t be able to make a complaint,,,nuff said on that note.)

I may need to make a small investment in large fireworks this year.   some mortars and the like.   Not to do damage, but Psyops stuff.   Just a thought right now.

My biggest concern is Cosmos.   I have to go out of town next week for a few days, and I really don’t think Da would be all that keen on keeping him down there while I am gone, BUT, believe me, that conversation is going to take place and soon.    The kittehs are not so much an issue since they will only deal with me and Da, everyone else gets hidden from.  Zooms is the truly elusive one who only deals with me, no one else.   He showed his face for Da last week while I was gone, but wouldn’t let Da get within 10′ of him.   Mama lets Da pet her, and Elb’s is just a big love all around; but not to strangers, which Da is not.  Yes, I need to have that conversation with Da,,,   (and I need to pick up some ‘smile, you’re on camera’ signs for around the house.  Won’t stop serious intrusions, but may be enough to keep them from messing with my house while I am gone.   

Christ, why do people have to be total shit-heads and crap all over people that were trying to be at least civil with them, despite their reputations preceding them.     And that is exactly what they have done everywhere they have lived over the last 10 years.   They were ran out of the last town they lived in, and now here they are getting ready to be ran off this hill: by their own family no less.    W?T?F? is wrong with them?  

I’m going to stop ranting there,,, I almost lapsed into some slurs that might bring down the ban hammer on my site.   I’ll be good wordpress,,, pinky swear!   (doesn’t mean I ain’t thought it,,,,)
