Rain looks like it's going to let up if not stop. It has been raining a lot over the past few days. The creek started running. Well, I spoke to soon. Weather people just said there will be a couple more storms blowing in. I guess I won't be doing any outdoor stuff for a while. Still don't have the phone working yet. Phone guys should be coming out while it's raining. Couldn't happen to nicer people. It's been a day with the turkey, deer and squirrels. Lots of little bird here for the winter. I watched a wood pecker work on the oak tree for about a half hour. The wood pecker has been working on the same part of the tree for a few weeks.
Took a break to get dinner started. Got the pork chops cooking. Oh, I forgot the Fresno peppers. The sun is setting, time to watch the BBC News. I forgot to pick up food for the skunks and raccoons.
I was listening to the radio and noticed this load pecking sounds. It was the turkeys on the porch eating the seeds that have fallen of the railing and on to the bins. I didn't think to much about it because they do that often. Then there was a loud squeak and the sight of a turkey flying the door's window. Some one scared the hen and she took off. Must have been a squirrel sneaking up behind her. The rest of the turkeys just looked at her and continued eating the cracked corn. There had to be at least thirty big birds here today. It sure looks good seeing them looking for bugs on the side of the hill.
I hope I see Big Buddy again tonight. I really missed him through the fall season.
Christmas commercials are coming to an end. The amount of commercial this year have gone to new limits. "Oh honey thanks for the car for Christmas." It wasn't just the cheap cars but almost all the car manufactures. Now it's going to be the end of year shows telling me all the things that happened this last year. Wish people paid more attention in what's going on. The other day a reporter was giving his prospective on the ruling from Dover, Pennsylvania. When he said that 50% of Americans didn't know that the earth goes around the sun and that 30% of them didn't know how many days there were in a year. That they believe that the earth was 6,000 to 10,000 year old. That most of the people that didn't know these things were deeply religious. With Bush and his evangelical buddies pushing this kind of teachings it's going to dumb down the people of America. Looking at it from a history prospective, going this way is a good way of making followers with no thought of their own. This is a good way of making an army of blind followers and only keeping education to the rich. They could make up a good slogan and the people will follow the policy you set whether it's right or wrong. Sort of like what Bush and this administration has been doing for the last five years and how we got into a war we can't win. I really think that the Neo-Cons started this war by not telling Bush what was going on in the world. They let the terrorist commit the crime on 9/11 so they could get into a war. I never understood why the people that kept telling the administration about the terrorist but the only thing they did was demote or fire anyone who knew what was going on. Anyone in the FBI that talked about terrorist were pushed out because they were making to many waves. O'Neal wrote in his book about how this administration wanted to invade Iraq as soon as they took office. Richard Clarke was demoted from his job of head of counter terrorism. Frank Clark the man that knew the most about Alquada but was demoted and stuck off in some remote office. It's almost like they wanted the terrorist attacks to happen. This was a theme in one episodes of the "X-Files." The whole story deals with the CIA's budget being cut after the end of the cold war. They put a plan together to get some terrorist group to take blame for something the CIA did. They were thinking that some group would take credit for the attack and we could start a war with that country.
Well, time to recline and watch the news.
