Nothing new under the Sun

  An advantage in having little to do of note nor importance is time. Time is on my side. So I listen a little to the talking heads of news organizations and folks making excuses for the collapse of Afghanistan, back to where it wants to be. And the blame game goes everywhere, the real trouble makers aren't in the spotlight, they are in their lairs and unreported meetings. The spies know who is a power and who is around the power centers making things happen, and they find ways to control what is going on. They work to make a difference for their side and leave no trace except a smile. Or a Fear. Reference 'Charlie Wilson's War' with Tom Hanks, lovely comedy of real history.

  Having my fill of fools, I find 'Shooter' and Bob Lee Swagger, I figured the story of Earl Swagger more entertaining but it is only a writer's fabric moves through changing times and events and I will always find something to consider. We can't really live on what comes over media, from politics, or others they are considerations only, the same type of people will cry for the death of Christ or you = a mob has a stupidity that defies eras.

Fine day for the Lord

 Here I am reinventing a life on the internet, and I am confused likely lost for what I knew is gone. Like how do I fix a link to my blog, FB page and search engines. Where can I adjust the time out at on my computer? I don't move so fast now.

Start the morning with Coffee, so simple!

Eighty-two minutes until my televised (YouTube) church service, still cowering from Covid-19. Yesterday we attended The Men's Bible Study at Golden Harvest buffet, great food, prayers and fellowship. Next one is at Patrick's home, at four pm. The Governor would not like us, but we are accustomed to that.

Ah, stopped to get up and walk around the inside of home then on to the porch, keep moving! Watched a neighbor girl in leggings on a skate blade? warming the street up.  The neighborhood wakes up the elder couple is gardening already, she has Parkinson's and he builds stuff to help. Put in old cabinets to store his tools in - a never ending challenge to living older in America, where to put the stuff.  Of course it too quickly changes to 'where did I put that? My wife was confused by the kitchen window not sliding far enough to lock up. She had it latched already, but wasn't aware of it.

Project Appleseed is really starting back up in different states, new shooters and new instructors to carry the program. Not looking like the old days yet, but if ammunition supply gets moving the program will also.

I once wanted to own and shoot an M1A in 7.62. But went traditional, with an M1 from my father's and uncle's war. Got it from CMP in a box, and delivered to my front porch door. Times sure have changed. Can't wait to go shooting again, after the healing is well in hand.
