Hear me out before blowing up comments with scathing vitriol,,, (and I was gonna put in some links to other thinkers, Y’all probably read them already,,,,)

We are blowing our tops over a squirrel and a racoon losing thier lives due to government overreach,,,, Think about that, think about ALL of the government overreach that has been taking place since 2001 and the opening salvo called “The Patriot Act”,,,, 

Think HARD about it.  

A couple of pets have us fired up and pissed off, but BLATANTLY STOLEN ELECTIONS GET THE NOD by the majority?   

We’re bleepin’ NUTZ!!!

We get pissed off about something that rips our heart strings out, but the fact that our livelihoods are being inflated/taxed into non-existence/stolen outright to be shipped overseas to some con-artist leaders (who tip 10% back to the theives),,, 

Nutz I tell ya, NUTZ!!!

Don’t get me wrong, I see that picture of Fred the ‘Coon and I get a little mushy eyed thinking of how hard hit his family feels right now: and yah, I get more than a little pissed off about it.

But its a distraction.      Who’s still pissed off about Hurrican Helene and NC?   Only those that are still there picking up the peices, the rest of the country has moved on to squirrels and racoons,,,,   See my point?  In another week, it will be memory holed by the majority because we are going to be raising Cain about the mess coming to fruition tomorrow eve,,,,

Actually, I firmly believe that we ARE NOT going to have fruition until the beginning of 2025.  And all the noise coming from CONgress about certification of election results,,,, Yah, the BLOB is going to go full bore NO MATTER WHAT THE PEOPLE DECIDE.  I don’t think we actually have a voice at this point in history, and for how much longer that is the case,,, Well, lots can be decided in short order when the blood begins to flow.  CW1 was over in a few short years, with a casualty count that nearly wiped out a generation or three.

————————————————-

Here on my homefront, we have TWO proposed amendment changes to the State Constitution.   I am voting against both even though they sound so damned RIGHT.   The first is about making a change to the KYCon to make it illegal for any but US Citizens to vote in KY,,,,   BUT,,,, If one reads the actual KYCon, It is rather EXPLICIT as to who can and can’t vote in KY, and there is little weasel wording that can be done to it.   The proposed amendment would make it so ANYONE who is a naturalized citizen (as in, GRANTED AMNESTY after coming here illegally) could vote at any selection cycle, ANYONE, FROM ANYWHERE, so long as they can prove they are US citizens.

Fuck that.   And the current reading has one line item I found quite amusing.  The third line of prohibited electors are “Idiots and the Insane”,,,    That should give you an idea how old that entry is,,, Idiots were the Retarded back in the days,,, But I love how it could be applied in todays vernacular,,,,

The second item of Choice for proposed amendments is to provide public monies for NON-Public schooling.    Ok, I am all about the HomeSchooling movement.   Heres the rub, IMO.   If you take the kings shilling, you must do the kings bidding.   Thats the golden rule.  If the state starts funding non-public schools, they aren’t so Non-public anymore,,,   MY OPINION IS TO KEEP THE GOV OUT OF AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!!   I’m voting no on that proposal.  

As for the others points on that ballot, all the state positions are un-opposed incumbents.   I believe there are some write-ins that didn’t make the ballot, but the incumbents are more than likely going to ‘win it’.    I’m going to write in “NObody” for the simple fact that all of the incumbents are suspected dirtbags.(McTurtles Flunkies in State)

I guess y’all know whom I am voating for on the Federal side of things,,,,  As Mike said, and I have said repeatedly here: Personally, I don’t like Trumped, but his record as a Citizen/Businessman is far more credible and upstanding than CAREER politicians.**   AND, he sincerely LOVES this country and has the best intentions for it.  I can openly say, of all the candidates running, He is the only one that has shown that.    That alone gets my voat.   I was hesitant about that until I heard him eat crow on a couple of things that had given me pause.   His choice in people under his branch in round one for the most part.   I WOULD like to see him take the blame for keeping that Mengele-type character on board and pushing for Operation Warp Speed, but he may be doing a solid by bringing RFKjr on board to help clean house.   I can’t say that is going to happen, but if so, ROBERT, SHARPEN THAT AXE AND TAKE NO SHIT. (and investigate the shit out Fauci first go!!)

The clock is ticking, the sabers are already rattling ON BOTH SIDES, and this is gonna be one hell of a ride the next couple of months.   Where it ends and which track it takes,,,  We’re gonna see aren’t we?

Can anyone tell me, does it LOOK like that little guy identified as Racoon?   He was raised by humans as a human baby,  hr would never have been able to rehabilitate to ‘wild’, and if he hadn’t shown any signs of rabies: he was never going to.

More laters,  thoughts on this, and other things, all over da place sorta stuffs.  

LLLL

Every one is throwing fits about this so I figured to toss in one too.

I’m already voating for him, you don’t need to sell me on this!

More serious note, ME, personally, wouldn’t mind seeing a 20 station gallows erected on the Mall and put to use within the first year,,,,

But then, I tend to a more bloody-minded vindictive nature,,,,

AND I can say, from reports and quotes from some of the “Eek-lite”, that THEY are just as scared of that idea becoming  a reality.   Like Killary’s recent statements around what will happen if Trumped wins (and they can’t stall the swearing in until doomsday,,,)

No matter which way the voat falls, clear and clean, cheated to hell and back, or whatever; I DO feel that this country is about to enter another rather turbulant and very potentially bloody chapter.   And I can see that 20 station gallows being erected by either side and applied to any opposition through lawfare and the treason clauses.     As Mike says, get ready for that Fifth ‘L’ to arrive,,,,   

That being said, In the one case, I believe there is ample REAL evidence of treason, mostly through grifting, but also through illegal email servers and Unacknowledged laptops,,,,     The other side will have laws written and backdated (like what they did to Trump in NYFC) to be applied arbitrarily against those with voices against the Regime.  

1984 with a twist of lime and shot of tequila,,,,  but only for the shooter, not the one being shot: that one gets a Winston.

soon to be deciced, though I bet we won’t actually KNOW a damned thing until January 6th, yet again,,,,   Expect anything to crop up between now and then. 

Oh, and as for that little run-around gambit they pulled in 2020,, “The Office of the President Elect” horseshit?   Yeah, you betcha that is gonna be in play again since they can’t have Que-mala playing the actual role AS SHE SHOULD BE due to an incompetent corpse in chief,,, Nopes, they want another 8 frickin years of control,,,, not four (as it should be since she is CONSTITUTIONALLY the president since SLo-Jo should have been put to pasture 3 months (YEARS) ago.

Not that I expect there to be another Selection cycle in 2028 IF THEY WIN,,,,  They are already pushing Putin to the breaking point of pushing that big red button,,,,(and if Trumped wins, watch that whole mess dissappear in 2 months, BETCHA)  Funny I mention that, since they are saying the same thing if Trumped should win.  

Project much?

yeah,

Updated:  To add to the ROFLMAO,,, The irony of Bannon, TEACHING, of all things, CIVICS, while serving time, to convicted Felons,,,,  Sentenced to Federal Prison (Bannon, in this case, his students, no idea) all because he wouldn’t kowtow to Queen Peelouzy and roll over like a good doggy.   I watched his press release and was cracking up at the sheer COMEDY of the whole farce.  

So little boat traffic, so much acreage,,,,

That was taken mid-lake:  some wind chop, some long rolling fetch, but waves?   notsomuch,,,

I may have seen 4 boats, maybe 5 but no less than three,,,  Only one was NOT a bassboat.  The bassboats don’t make much wake, even when flat out haulin’ass.  So no dancing water fun for Dio,,,   That’s alright, I got enough to feel the goosing in the hindquarters and that was enough to get my fix in. 

Water in mid 60’s still; warmer below than above.   That can get a body killed if things go sideways and y’ain’t prepared for it.    I was in wet suit top and bottom, spray skirt and PFD,   *

and sweating my ass off.   The outside of the wetsuit was dry when I got to shore; the inside was sweatlogged.  I went for a swim to wash the stink out before heading to get the Buffalo and change out.   Not sure a drysuit would have been any better, maybe worse.   At least with the wetsuit, the sweat can get out.

Where that pic was taken, was a 1/4 mile to shore in any one direction.    I was just sitting there admiring the glimmer of SOL bouncing off those wavelets, blinding at times, the breeze out of the SxSE that smelled of leaves, pine and clean water.   No boat exhaust, or not enough to twig my senses.

AND QUIET.   OMG so quiet.    I could hear the music from a wedding party at the nearest subdivision, and that is over 2 miles away from where I was floating.

Days like this, I hook into that Ground and Center FAST.    By the time I piddled around to the take out, I was so calm and relaxed, I could have laid my head on the deck and taken a nap.

F*@K the Politicos.   They have ZERO clue where the real power of life is.  Or maybe they do know and try like hell to keep us distracted from it: Maybe it’s something thier lizard brains can’t grab and hold onto, so they, in jealousy, fight to keep those of us that can, away from it.   And if I could find a way to make Kayaking pay (and I have an idea, but playing that card close to my chest right now) I would NEVER leave the water, except to travel between waypoints.   Tired of being that wage slave, tired of the games of a society rigged against the little guy, and DEFINITELY tired of the politics.  (politics is why I knew I would never make the Corps a career,,,More the meritocracy mindset, than kissass /brown-noser/backstabber.)

It doesn’t have to be hard,,,,,    Nope, sure doesn’t.   Today sure wasn’t.   deep breath, slow exhale, satisfied with my ‘balance’ right now.   Much needed day.

Domestics day tomorrow, and possible takin’ Da to look at a new to him truck.   Leaving the day open for whatever on that note.

* And I always carry a grab bag of stuff ‘just in case’: emergency sleeping bag, fire starter, etc.   Hypothermia is no joke, and those temps could get a body deep into it in short order.

yeah, ME, having a fit of depression,,,  

Not what started it but some of the reasoning behind it.   Yah, those that are still saying we have ‘fair and honest elections’ need to open their fucking eyes and see that all the shenaniganss are fucking THEM as well.  Those that desire power don’t give a truck about you or your desires, they only want MORE and MORE and MORE, and you are the vehicle that gets them there: along with every damned tombstone in the US.

The time of year helps not at all.   I always take a meloncholy turn when the leaves fall.

And more than once, the thoughts of shutting this blog down have broached my forebrain.    Lots of reasons, most stemming from the fact that I rarely have much to add to the fray these days.    Ever since Gerard passed on, and BIll Buppert went Dark, my writing has become more the personal thing.    Gerard was the only ‘Big Name’ blogger that communicated (email and once via phone.) with me on the regular.    Francis does through comments (here and at his place), BIll never has, though I do know one piece I wrote was mentioned in one of his essays (so I know I was being read by him).    2012, the year my blog was injured by nefarious peeps and has never recovered.   And admittedly, I pretty much gave up at that point.    Too much infighting, black hat actors, and dog eat dog attitudes from most.  When one was found to be a ‘glowie’, instead of rallying forces, the majority ran for cover to protect themselves and left the target exposed.    No solidarity of principles, even though all harp on ‘principles’.

Live and let live.

and slowly but surely, the blog morphed into a kayaks and kittehs blog, with the occasional philosophical/political bend.   And my walls have grown taller, trust but verify has become Verify and maybe trust, and friends are scattered amongst the weeds of the world and can be counted on one hand.  NOT JUST the blogger friends, but IRL ones.

For an introvert, thats not that horrible.  BUT, I am a borderline introvert, sometimes called an Ambi-vert,,,   I still need some social interaction on the regular.  (Some, NOT A LOT, and usually need a day or three to recharge my batteries before I can continue.)  I miss people over time, and the loss of Gerard and his insights is weighing on me today.   A voice I could really use to hear at this juncture of history.   (thanks to The New Neo for keeping his essays alive.  You’re doing damned good Jean!)

Want a trouble free future?  Why did you show up in space-time if you didn’t want trouble? (Richard Bach, Messiahs handbook)

This is all illusions, but damned persistent Illusions,,,   It gets hard to tell the difference between reality and illusion, when your avatar is your vehicle and interface in this play.    And that there are billions other avatars running around this illusion adding thier input, really mucks with things,,,,

Time to get the boat wet, get my ground and center going and try my damndest to not let the little shit get so deep under the skin.   Like splinters (fiberglass splinters are the worst) they irritate and demand so much attention, the details of everything else take hindteat.   I need to get out there and find, and pull, some splinters.   They are festering and thats a no good.

as in, rained out, go homes,,,,

fines, can do.

did some weedeating: too wet to mow, but the linetrimmer works just fine (if you don’t mind getting a little wet in the process,)

Today is one of my “i hatez peoples” day.   No need to elaborate on the why of that, dood that bent me over KNOWS, and I just may ‘oopsies, I forgot to pick you up for work’ come Muhnday (no name needed, y’all know whom I am speaking of.) 

Probably won’t, because I am actually a pretty decent person, but hell will be delivered upon someones front braincells,

Not holding my breath that the lesson will be learned though.   Some people won’t learn, even when hit upside the head with a twobyfour.

Anywhoozzzz,,,,,   Tomorrow is going to be lake day, CHURCH DAY, ‘Dio gets his head and soul back in order’ DAY,     Made plans with Brudda B for the following Satyrday as HIS Ground and Center day.   Gonna be good to see my Brudda again, and I know he NEEDS time on water,,,   He’s been dry for far too long this year.

But tomorrow is MINE! dammit!!!   Trees are about bare of leaves now, probably mucking up all the little bays on the lake, but thats just fine.   The smells of autumn are in the air and while I don’t ‘like’ this time of year, the smells do have a calming effect on the psyche.    Like today, Leaf smell, rain smell: kinda makes one wanna put up a hammock and take a nap.   (and I may yet,,,)   Tomorrow, those smells will include the smell of WATER from the cleanest lake in KY.  (I can’t describe how CLEAN the smell is, but even Sis noted it when she came up to visit last and we made water time.)  

I’m trying to not let the outside political world get under my skin.   Things are flaky as hell out there, and I am just waiting to see which boot falls first.   AND for those that are still calling people like me “Conspiracy freaks, we have clean elections in the US”   Please,,, just don’t even comment.

Thats one county over from mine.   I haven’t heard anything here in Knox Co, but they may not need to cheat here as there are many that still ‘vote like daddy’,,, and couldn’t read well enough to know otherwise. (just check that big blue button and alls good,,,,    sigh)

And thats just here,,, the stories are rampant about various tactics being done across the spectrum.  

Gonna voat anyway, and I am going to wait (and I hope others do as well) for that particular day.   Hit ’em sideways with millions of voats so they have to scramble the cheat codes and blow the numbers wide open: make it so obvious, a dead blind man could see it from the otherside of the moon.

no, don’t have a good outlook right now and its showing in other aspects of my little world.   THAT is why I am going kayaking tomorrow, hell or high water, freezing temps or burning rays of SOL, I will get some miles under my keel and let the brainium have a day off.

Keep watch, if you see a story of corruption DO NOT CLICK OFF IT UNTIL YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED THE ARTICLE.  Keep record of the steal so they can’t gaslight us again.   We ain’t krazy, and don’t let them drive you to such.
