Repeal Daylight Savings Time!

I like thinking I am as slim and trim as I once was, but fun house mirrors aren't everywhere, so the sloppy sags are very difficult to hide from my analyzing eye - although a broader belly holds more snacks, and crumbs while in the recliner watching mindless media motions, until one gets up and it falls to the rugs weave...

Anyway, all time is Relative, i'nStein proved it. You could have fifty hour days, twenty day weeks and so on. Earth time a 'day' is one rotation of the Earth, in Creation time a 'day' is just as long as God needed it to be.

In the dairy community, of America, I understand they milk two times a day. It isn't called anything but milking time. All participants know when that is, the animals know, the milkers know - and it doesn't matter that Congress has no real idea, it will get done on those times - ir-relative of Daylight Savings or whichever time zone. Milking time is twice a day... Both milking times could be in the daylight hours, or the nightdark hours.

But those control monsters, they want everyone to do it on 'their' time, don't they? So they pretend by shifting everyone's time an hour they save Daylight and make commerce in the evening better and safer and gee whizzer than anything. When they could find a bean and coin counter that would do the mathematics, they even decided to extend the Daylight Savings time shift into the darn darker Seasons of the year.  An Earth year being equal to the total number of time units to go around the Sun, whatever your time units.

This year concept isn't very perfect, Julius Caesar and King George of England put their names to modification of calendars to perfect the measurements of the year, so the crops would come up on time - control of the calendar is one of the first signs of trying to become godlike, thinking if you can measure it, you can control it, tax it and save it. But I have it on good authority, when it is time to bud, bloom and grow - it is controlled off calendar.

What I want to point out to the fools in Congress and the government that think they have saved any daylight, they haven't. But since they know nothing about money, I am sure they couldn't know anything about daylight - which has been around much longer.

Still, I have to admit, with advanced mathematics and science, computer power, universal grid and satellite feed we could go to proportional time. So it could be perfect, totally.

We want a midday mark. Normally, in English, Noon and a midnight mark called Midnight. And since those learned survivors of the tower of Babel decided that sixty was a sexy number - minutes and seconds are in sixty units, but days are in twenty four hours (how that happened I don't know, I can't read clay tablets). So we keep twenty-four hours as the divisions we like, and twelve of them should be dark and twelve of them should be light. That is the way the Sun sees it; it is organic time on Earth, half in light and half in dark.

Now being a Federal or World government bent on more goodness than gracious - twelve of each is fair but impractical, They want to have fourteen hours of light to increase commerce and safety, not too many productive hours in those dark times, lot of crime and sinning happening where the sun don't shine - ten hours of darktime will be enough for a solid eight healthy hours of sleep, a couple left over for meditation and romance.

So in Earth Proportional Time, there will be seven hours of light on each side of MidDay, or Noon, and five hours of dark on each side of midnight. Now here is where the miracle of our enlightened progressive thinking comes along. The number of hours, the number of minutes and the number of seconds in daylight or darkness continue. The miday for everywhere is when the Sun is exactly over head. Everything is relative to those facts. I know, when the daylight is small time will fly, but you do get a lot more beauty sleep in the dark. When the daylight is larger you can get so much more done, that there should be thousands of sub four minute milers everywhere, if they weren't spending those more productive hours consuming conspicuously or producing prodigiously. Where in the dark colder season it took half a day to make a car, in the light warmer season it was five cars in that same half day.

All vacations could be scheduled with health and holidays in the darkcold times since they would be found to be too slow to produce enough making our work days most productive. Of course, you would still end up with only two milking times per day - but agriculture just never catches up, do they?

Just another day that I wish were even better...

EST: Like I deserve special notice - nope, I don't.

I am sure you know that I am not the best man in the country, in all categories there is a better man than I in all of them, maybe two or more. There are many women in many of them also, and I wouldn't aspire to outshine their wonder.

I, like the Psalmist, have often wondered why God would be mindful of me - I haven't been mindful enough of Him. I thank Him daily.

So today I am sixty-five, and that, depending on who tells the stories is a wonder, almost a miracle in itself. They are only stories, that alone should point out to enjoy but not put too much reliance on them. My lovely life-wife will remind me of all those years I kept saying I wasn't going to make it past forty. She hates a quitter.

In church on Sunday, I was upset, but settled down to prayer - asking for things, and came to realize, I didn't need any of that little stuff. That was all temporary too soon forgotten and always being covered by government goodness. What I wanted more than anything, every day forever was God's Love. 

I received a fine box from Hawaii, with Kona Coffee, and candies so sweet and a card from people I love. What I will remember long into the night is how difficult to hug them and help them while we are so far away. No matter the technological gifts, the improving lines of communications, I am not where I can gently touch and hug them. I will trust the Lord to have others give them all they need. Amen.

Thou shall not call FIRE! in a crowded building...

You will cause panic and in the darkness and the mad rush to the doors people will get hurt. I think that is the first example of why the Bill of Rights doesn't mean what it says - you have to have a law against that 'free' speech.  

Everybody knows that, right? But then, what about when there is a fire?

Well, there should be a law: So we can make one: One shall call FIRE! in a crowded building only upon being shown that there truly is a fire, increasing heat, smoke and fright, and calmly instructing all listeners to walk to the lighted exits and depart the building, holding hands with the little ones and assisting all those that that cannot move themselves. Press two for options of other languages, good advice and to find a fireman that is paid to protect this building and the patrons.

I am certain the staff of any good legislator will figure out all the reasons and ways to make the law fully comprehensive and in small enough print to post for the public consumption in public areas where needed.

So instead of figuring out how to destroy the 2nd Amendment, since we already know we can't call a kettle 'Black' since that is offensive and may go all the way to "HATE" speech. We should continue to modify for our benefit the 1st Amendment.

There aren't any real Zombies, wandering mindless undead, shuffling along with only the need to consume healthy brains and create more zombies - really, they don't exist, and don't tell me you see them in the Political Party faithful everywhere,  because the cultural Main Stream Media has been selling the idea (for years and years) that only silver bullets, a solid shot in the head or Voodoo can take them down and out. One of the reasons we have to support Haiti is that whole nation believes in Voodoo and Zombies.

So our right to be spouting out fiction, fantasy, unscientific and unproven lies about Zombies should be curtailed before the enlightened Patriots start shooting the shuffling mindless brain eating monsters of the media madness. I mean, some of the Republicans and Democrats are thinking, caring people and just because it looks like a zombie, walks like a zombie and talks like a zombie - they shouldn't be shot around Halloween, most of them are children and adults that act like children trying to be cool or frightening - but if we had stopped Michael Jackson from promoting 'Thiller' music video and dance madness we might know the truth about the media -- good lies sell ad space and DVDs, Videos and Concerts, theater tickets and 
foolish behavior.

Now that the whole stupidity of the 1st Amendment is clear - let us get to the truth about arms in the hands of the People. One, decidedly more People that own and operate firearms for their benefit cause less problems than politicians and criminals and the unknowing for their benefit. That more people die due to gravity, than will ever die to firearms in the hands of normal people.  Politicians that want your guns, criminals that want your guns are not doing it because they love you and will protect you and your family. The founding fathers, the writers and voters of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights - tried to prohibit the Government from stupid behavior, they failed, there is no test to determine if an elected official or any of those hired by the government (which is an institution - not a thinking human being) knows anything about the Constitution, the English language or being a fine citizen willing to defend the nation against all its enemies, foreign or domestic. No matter how hard, badly and foolishly they swear. 

Today's picture is Earl carrying concealed, my Bible is inside a cover. God bless all our best, and open our eyes to His. Amen

I am calling for consideration of the Icelandic revolution...

Really, go look it up and consider it.  Do understand that the United States of America is way too big for its britches, and other nations, banks and fine folks do depend on our illusionary dollars for their success or feeling of security. But people who understand math, borrowing, interest and economy (fewer than we cite in our daily quest for truth) KNOW THAT ONLY DEFAULT will get America out from under total failure.

On the gun control and 2nd Amendment war in the media and in the hearts of those that are really concerned and care. I do not want to shoot anyone over this Right, but then I know that because something is a law doesn't mean I should follow it. Many immoral, scientific and medically possible, and just plain stupid activities are the law, lawful and supported by fools everywhere ---- I don't have to participate, and I am content not to be a fool (which is much easier now than when I was younger and not so smart - but intelligent more than most).

I title the picture on this post, Armed School Children's Angel, trying to promote the idea that concerned caring adult volunteers can protect our schools. If they would just get a better hat and wear some shoes. Although John did mention the socks would be great for sliding down the halls during class. He might know about that....

Time to start acting like 'we' know better than 'they'

I have been wondering why there is all this fear of firearms - in this country, and then realized most of the country has only the television experience with firearms, the dime store novels, and the follow-on tough detective pulps. Most of the country has allowed the media and fool culture to define the story, the truth and the danger. Which historian has counted out the 'wild west gunfights' in the Wild West? Don't get me wrong, there were deaths, people did shoot other people. They also hung other people, beat them bloody and sued them in courts. But MOST people that won the West, just were hard working and struggling to stay ahead of the drought, dust, locust, and winter freeze with occasional tornadoes. The reason we all know about Billy the Kid, John Wesley Hardin, Rooster Cogburn and the Earps is they were published - yes, there were the James brothers, the Youngers and others. But never as many as the Smiths, Archers, and other names which made fine families and built a future. There is very little story there in good normal hard working folks to tease the Eastern dudes and dollies.

I learned marksmanship in the Junior High Rifle Club, taught by my eighth grade American History teacher, boys and girls, shooting jackets, mats, high school gym after normal hours once a week. He was looking for the future high school rifle team members. Good program. Because of that alone, I knew that most of what was on television from Gunsmoke to Combat and the Gallant Men was just drama - Paladin and Josh Turner were real, but not really. So I cannot blame the media nor the non shooters for their foolish ideas about a wonderful world they think I should live in without my guns, god or goodness... They do think I should change my ways and have homosexual relationships, smoke marijuana, have cheap sexual adventures and need medical assistance to rid myself of those lives created and always owe more money than I could ever in five lifetimes repay - if I started repaying yesterday.  

I say that is what they want me to do, they both pass laws saying it is fine with them or just setting a fine example of irresponsible behavior in personal and professional conduct. They do love sinning and adding to the day more drama and waste. Both Senator Feinstein and some news person I don't follow are filmed holding banned items(against the law to carry or own) in Washington, DC. And if you think that the media and the Senators have special privilege to break the laws - then you agree with the carjackers, rapists, and murderers that are very certain they are right and you are only a victim. Which is the greater crime against you and I - an honest criminal or the 'I am special and you aren't' bully from broadcasting or just elder lady without merit?

Follow anything that you know something about, listen to the reporters covering it - you will find a large information gap in what they believe (because they heard it on the grapevine?) and what they 'think' you know. They will fill the void.

Asleep at the wheel isn't only about driving...

I need to hit the bed for a couple more hours, life is wearing and I am worn and weary, still plodding away. But one of the many voices of media says there is a new study about how many of us are falling asleep at the wheel. Immediately I transferred the 'falling asleep' to the citizens not being awake enough to care for the nation, their children, pets and little things like Liberty they will only miss when it is long gone.

I cannot blame everything in my life on the media, the government, the fools, the few, the many, those asleep. Most American voters didn't vote for President Obama, although most of the electors did. Most of the citizens voted for Romney, no one, or someone other than. Those numbers of people on the OTHER side (not voting, not Republican, not interested, and asleep at the wheel) are not responsible for whatever stupid things come out of Washington, DC. 

They are also not responsible for their future under the authority their choice and non-choice has allowed into POWER. It is true, power loves to fill a void, and I see holes everywhere.

I believe in the People, good folks can do it all, nations built on government control, slavery and fear have left piles of rocks for everyone to admire. Living communities and nations that believe that the people have ability if not confined, regulated or castrated will leave: commerce, growth, prosperity, learning, song, art and love to those that remain.

Suggested actions on Gun Control laws, thank you, Bruce W. Craft.

We should be dying off faster... painfully... don't you think?

Seems that I make some people uncomfortable, many of them are people that I care about, still I make them uncomfortable.  I don't fit well, I am not my stereotype nor theirs, kind of like that crooked door, the leaning tower, the Sun that wants to go its own way.... One spends a lifetime learning and adapting to make a way in the world that works and you think it does, because you get along and we aren't dying fast enough and painfully enough to produce little piles of teddy bears, heart shaped balloons and notes will make it all better when it does. It never does make it better.

I understand there are millions of people hurt over the Newtown massacre. I was shocked, I said many prayers for the dead, all of them, and the people that were hurt to the point they had to do something to make their shame, hurt and humility go away. We are the best, most wonderful, greatest people on the planet - how could this happen? Why does God and the NRA allow this crime against our wonder happen? I will have to slide the NRA into the same group of folks that have a political agenda over something like this loss. None of those groups, nor the NRA, want our children (or anyone else's children) to die at the hands of a madman with a firearm, or any other weapon. Most of them don't want children killed by beating their little bodies against something hard so they stop crying, most of them don't want to burn one or two or more in sacrifice to some idol.

Once they get to that cute stage where they smile so beautifully for their mother, the camera and all those watching in love and wonder - no one really wants to kill them. You do know that the first most effective defense of a child is a smile, don't you. Now, Moma Grizzly is absolutely necessary to defend her helpless little cubs, since Daddy Grizzly will have a couple for breakfast if he could get away with it. But human babies have first and at most a smile, which they learn in their mother's arms. To read faces, to squall when strangers don't start with a smile and sweet nothings.

There are calls in the media, in political circles and in the citizens for money, for more rules, for leaving us alone, for doing something, now to ensure it will never happen again. How does MANKIND and OUR NATION get so awesome, powerful and godly? When did we become so HOLY, so Moral, so Kind, so Righteous and True --- that we didn't need to acknowledge our sinful ways and solve one little problem at a time? We don't love enough, and becoming a best person is back there on the procrastination pile. Some folks think that age has to do with maturity, not noticing it has to do with rot and decay and decline... also. We are better than that, folks, or we should be.

We can't even have a discussion about firearms, the people, the rule of law, the influence of the media on the madness. Unless, we start with that first defense of the baby, a real smile. What will never work is: name calling, reciting talking points, conventional wisdom, common sense, cliche, just fears fueled by fantasy. Media does seem to be responsible for the large number of people that are misinformed about most things. Take any subject you know about, that you study, you work at, that you are creating and improving - and the media will attempt to make opinion and money at displaying their point of view without value, to their customers - those that want to be misled, misinformed and fully mis-functional - but without responsibility for their failure. 'I was only following orders' will not work in Heaven, it doesn't on earth.

The National Rifle Association, is peopled with your neighbors, good folks that want to shoot better, share interests, make our children safer and spread the sport of shooting firearms, safely. They do use the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution as one of their best money gathering points of politics. They share the political points with politicians that want votes and see that the NRA doesn't really want to kill children, start a new civil war, arm the drug dealers or establish a destructive philosophy upon America.

So, Earl, doesn't fit - I am a Life Member in the NRA, I do own and shoot firearms. I have transferred without government permission firearms. I have taught young people to shoot safely and effectively (although they have many more lessons to learn to get to their best). I didn't respond with money to support them in defense in the newest war on the 2nd Amendment and our right. I did explain that times were tough, that I wished them luck in the courts of justice and the one of public opinion - they will never have enough money to stop the media madness. For I am sure, for many reasons, the media will continue to attack the beauty of creation for its own profit and satisfaction, that there are too many ways to twist the face that are used to terrify the viewer. Even the most beautiful woman in the world will never match the innocent charm of a happy baby, unless she allows her heart to show like the baby does.

To all the terrified non shooters out there, where do you get your fears? your foolishness? or lack of understanding and reason? I have always lived with and around firearms, they seemed to be in everyone's home, my favorite memory of my grandfather walking was of him, two pheasants, a shotgun and our dog Wags. I was a very professional paratrooper, surrounded by other people with firearms, every day, and ammunition and good and bad intentions to me - and I don't fear the firearm as much as I watch the human, for stupidity or deadly intent. I ruined my son's appreciation for many exciting war films or action (?) films, but pointing out that what the hero was doing was impossible or improbable or just done for dramatic effect. I didn't want him to think that what he was watching was true. His best features are when he is smiling at his children and they return that smile with all the love it holds. He is also surrounded by firearms where he works. I hope he knows it isn't the firearm that is the danger, it is the people, in their stupidity or their intent.


I don't fear the government's firearms, large ammunition purchases, drones or other devices to expose me to their power - I watch the politicians in their stupidity and intent. They will do more damage to the world with too much of the first than any evil of the latter. But then I don't fear the politicians either, I know the LORD, I know about love, I believe in smiles and I can use a firearm effectively - where I seem to frighten folks, is that I am different from my stereotype - and am sure it isn't worth changing to make them happy. I am going to die soon enough, too fast for some loving lovely people, and too slow for those that hate me, and the rest (most of humanity, the angels) don't even know I exist. Love them all in the LORD anyway. Amen,

It is my grand-daughter's first birthday, she is a wonderful wonder - God's blessings in the flesh, no matter how grave my sins, I know a promise and she has potential. We all do.
