What is going on...

  Well, not much compared to the constant noise from the Media.  My son departs the Navy today, I realize my mother would be happy and wondering at his language and who all those folks on Face book are... that is very much like me, but I don't worry about not knowing each one of them and trying to be friends with all his friends.

Looking like he is comfortable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ho

  I started to read the series 'World Made By Hand', By James Howard Kunstler. The books will be a fine offset from the media noise, most of which has nothing to do with our life. I like the tone and rhythm of the writing now will discuss more when I have two finished. There are four books.

  Bruce Willis is mortal, but difficult to believe when most of his performance has been on screen with commercial  interruption. And larger than life.

Where I left off... reality...

   Seems I missed some stuff, Will Smith proving he has the right to mess with fools putting his wife down. Is he living on a different world than the media mob? I have to look at my wife and see if she is okay with me tearing someone apart, she cares more for me that the fool. Will Smith would have been better served by forgiving the fool and leading him to the Lord on the stage than acting like dueling was still the norm.  rather than violence. Maybe next time, Chris Rock, trashing wives and other ladies? Maybe he is following the nominee for the Supreme Court, she can't define a woman, he can't define a lady that has his respect. Oh, that is his comedy? I don't watch him, so I don't know.

 Wanted to go shooting on Saturday, didn't, lingering fears? I thought about it, really need to go. Only by moving outside can I overcome the fears trumpeted by controlling media madness they want everyone feeding their treasury.  I did pick up two of the World Made by Hand books, seems there are four in the set, and I got the first dvd set of the Slave Hunters and watched five episodes.

Dreams of shooting, and I find Oz giving advice like I once did...

   Oz has a very sharp avatar https://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=62435.msg398240;topicseen#msg398240 on the appleseed forum, and I like his signature block. Being really old I should find out if he is still alive. But I won't, I have seen his writing, that is alive enough for me. 

   Promises to be a great day, midweek, and SCJ hearings on the news. Recommended for being judgemental, black and female and recommended by a fool and his advisors, don't expect any drama. I don't. She could become a great Justice, hoping for a good justice.  Still only one out of nine.

   I wander to the kitchen for food and news. Going to Varney on FOX Business. Why is there better news coverage on a business network? the honesty of numbers? 

  Medicine taken, breakfast done, crew outside my home to cut and trim the landscape at 0850. I am off to second sleep.  ... didn't happen played a game, looked up local Appleseed shoots to go to, not to teach nor instruct - likely but to see what is happening. Only attending on Saturday, old and tired. Walked for thirty minutes and hope to do it again today. That would be improving.

Friday, Books, Stories and thoughts to share...

  Ukraine is savaged by Russia. And Blogger doesn't use my favorite font nor size, computers don't care about my desires nor needs. Two slices of dry toast and three cups of coffee to start today, listening to Linda Ronstadt fifty years of performing. I could always understand her, until songs of my father, which was brilliant.

   The same folks running America are the same spineless cowards that avoid all conflict that my friends and family have served in. How do they lie and gain? No one calls them out? Fears of lawyers? Bullies? or terror by government gone mad. Just like PUTIN? Amplification by Media, lack of faith in God and Goodness. Always waiting for somebody to step forth to take charge and follow? Hoping that the solution will be found before two hours. We hid so well from a virus created by our desire to?

   One of those things to pray and meditate over, who am I, what should I do, how can I help? 

   The governments will not get it right. They are so wrong based on their self interest in maintaining power and place.  Fears rule. They have so much to lose. And they really fear the Man without rules, fear, treasure nor loves to lose.  Which is why we just can't stop PUTIN and his barbaric bands...  He could bomb us, the nuclear option. Could he really? We live on borrowed valueless currency and debts, with  Chinese Commie slave labor products some good and often pretentious. What would we lose? And we built a lot of the same stupid weapons, with storage and use rules. Always more protected and controlled than the guards walking around the Maximum Security Area. Why? What do we lose?

  Humanity and Heaven. PUTIN and Biden being stupid and cruel are no reason for the rest of us to follow their lead. Tired old men with grand illusions are always thinking that everyone owes them service for their leadership and courage.  Not I, cause I am too old, tired, weak and useless. I get to feel heroic by watching real heroes in cinema action, not by doing anything. Think I'll pray for good and better, and talk to friends and family about a better future, living in fear doesn't grow good, better nor best. 

   

Today is here, and I am prepared as ever was... which is not

  Good morning, wake too early and get up to watch Tucker Carlson discuss something with an interesting person. You do realize I choose this font and size for failing vision, which doesn't mean I can't make the shot, I don't read the target. Anyway, I support more non-government peace actions in Ukraine, having no faith in benevolent government nor its efficiency. Support The Quakers, and other groups that haven't been subverted.

   I don't want to be a means of promoting organizations that are or have been targets of take over by bad folks with hidden agenda or goals. I have watched the RWVA go through several transformations, fracturing and redefining from Fred's original goals and just now drifted off to and old NRA convention in Nashville, we don't really teach history so the name is associated with the Tennessee location not the man it was named for. Revolutionary General? 

  I haven't blogged for so long I have to play at relearning copy and paste links to find out more. Probably a good way to slow my failing mind. I once loved standardized tests and played with them for my education. Do you know that Switzerland looked at many Constitutions and designed their own based on their desires and the examples they looked upon, remember they have language and tribal differences in their Federation, or CH short for the Latin name, used to ID autos.

   One thing I really like about blogging was so much useless information to share.

     A favorite cringe moment for me is hearing the term 'leader of the Free World' especially when applied to an American President. I think that independent individuals are hidden leaders of the World, and don't aspire to becoming a leader responsible for others. 

   After 06:30 still not light out side, but closer. Have a great day, without too much government intervention cause they always think they know better.

Trying to rejoin society is tough...

 Made a mistake, got new coffee started and then hit the Face book rabbit hole. An hour missing from my day not caused by Day Savings Time.

   Then I departed for the post to check on one of my medicines, and it hadn't been ordered, but I am seeing my doctor at nine-thirty today. 

    So the doctor checked my BP and complaints, decided we might have to skip the Military medical service they do keep changing the rules to discourage the veterans from using their services or just to join the homeless and drug addicted in tents in parks, at state expense.  I should mention it to my Congressperson, just to cause troubles. Nah, causing trouble never fixed anything although it did make others worry. 

   Three times the mail truck deliver today, I faithfully empty it of clutter each time, no one writes anymore. Then I vegetate in screen watching.                                                                              

Blogger editor a new learning challenge ...

   I will attempt to learn how to blog again, with too much help from Blogger.  I couldn't handle that first post, or didn't have the patience but this is just mulling of my thoughts. 

  My son handled the arrangements for the small party, The Venue, and we were done in two hours. My cousin, wife and son were planning to join us, but got there just after we had closed up. So they called and came to our home. They are family and we had a second party, which made my wife happy. She got to play hostess, and listen to the chatter of men and Joan in English.  They were comfortable and happy which was our intent all along. Sometimes the importance of the Glory of God, the seniority of the Senior Pastor and their Koreaness muffle the happy. Still my wife's longtime single ladies friends were welcome and happy to be there I almost know them from answering the phone. In-Ja, Hean-Ja and Bobby's Mother.  

  Looking at my picture, showed me a tired old bear that has been hibernating too long. Old memories and photos fool my internal picture of who I am, really I am no longer important nor cool, I am sure my son's ire at the fat old crippled fellow was based on his expectations of a ancient mariner (Seattle area, clever me) not what he got.

  I want to get better, so I will address my failings and improve a little every day. The rambling will stop for this morning, need that second cup of coffee and breakfast. Then to the new improved program: all rehab all the time.

Rejoining the World... seems we are all going to die, but ...

  My fiftieth wedding anniversary is today. Celebration was Saturday and we had a small celebration. My wife wanted the church pastors and admin staff invited, especially the New Senior Pastor Song.

Third World Country in Democrat Equity every one is a helpless fool...

Since we are having camps for the ones the can't take care of themselves, everywhere, we have  become a third world country. So Covid-19 has killed everyone in Sweden .  Or our government is lying to us. 

Waking up as I see doctors... and read RWVA Appleseed forums...

   I saw two medical people on the sixteenth, one my doctor for my quarterly checkup and the second to see how my robotic surgeries are healing. Short story, I feel very normal. My wife wanted me to get a handicap sticker for my cars, one for each. My doctor was all for that, but he was more into talking about guns (rifles really) and if I had started shooting again. So surprisingly,  I am seventh stepping at my first appointment, which made the time fly.

   For those unaware, seventh stepping is sharing the gospel of safe sane shooting through RWVA Appleseed.  Today, 18th, is get the new telephone system charged up, 11 hours. before sync to our home.

  Does seem that the rains have returned and fall/winter is upon us. Be at peace...

Coming out of my illness kind of...

   Like to pretend to be gaining health and function back, humor me.  I feel fine, eating normally, wife is making some fine food, so I am blessed by the bounty in my little old life with my little old lady. We laugh at much we do and think, but no one is waiting on us nor paying us much attention.

   Tucker Carlson has written a book about the long slide in print media, journalism mainly. I will find it interesting.  I really like his three conversations a week on FoxNation.com. I am waiting for all the commercials to lessen, but am sure someone is paid to make the needed promotions so every one will know what is next.

   As I tried to fall asleep tonight, after my wife finished watching WWENXT, I started going over my long ago life from 1966 high school graduation, which was a big deal, to my parents and my uncle and aunt and two cousins. Uncle Lynn had done a cool thing, flown his plane out to the Airport and called Dad, who managed that airport once upon a time. Anyway they came to see me graduate and ignore them cause I had a girl friend. I was really a sad case of self interest. Uncle Lynn and Aunt Irene visited my wife and son when I was waiting for the elder Bush to give the Go light to Desert Storm. I really liked anyone visiting my family, they all tried to help my wife figure out where the money was supposed to go, you know bills I wasn't around to juggle.

First back from Desert Storm to an empty Ft Bragg

Wake to start the life signs in the sleeping home .. and Nation...

   You aren't interested in how really early it is, for some folks are already on the clock and punched in. The empty coffee pot screamed for my attention, gently but insisting. We are going (my wife) to buy more good grounds. The stock pile has disappeared, the President had best fix the supply chains, if he is in charge, really in charge. Here in the Great North West, home of Coffee Culture -- I take mine hot and black, and I have been told too strong. I do like Black Rifle Coffee Company, but really don't buy much Folgers seems to be the normal grind.

   I watched 13 hours, twice during recent days, like the twenty year anniversary of  9/11. We need to dwell on our inability to protect our nameless unknowns but to God.  So I watch Blackhawk down, knowing that General Gage in Boston was as convinced as the American General in Africa that his superiority would make his troops do well in indian territory. The finest Army in the world.  History just changes the weapons and the names and languages of the players. The fools are constant.  Still remember a book from long ago, titled The Afghan Campaign, great story. Yeah, war doesn't change much.

   Big day today, do I shave, dress for company or to walk outside with Covid-19, well find Alexa broadcasting my video??? She is diverted to Southern Gospel. I prepare for today's war game.

Getting started.... wait for it...

The beginning of the journey is the first step...  and it will be rocky.

Thinkin' about fools again, which is a waste of good time...

  Some fools in Washington, both DC and this fine state think disarming the citizens will stop gun violence. Same fools that think they are safe from their own responsibility for the antics of antifa and the mobs with Black Lives Matter. They do give fools everywhere a bad name.

 9 September morn.... I have been slowly recovering from  Government goodness, and lack of efficiency. Really under my wife's care and it works better than trying to do it all myself. Time in the hospital makes me happy there are so many great professionals, makes me sad I don't wait for healing before I go immediately into my fool normal.
