Week in review

There was a few more jolts in the Indonesia area. I know a person there and she seem to give me a real and different take of what is going on when the earth shakes there. Speaking of the earth shaking, PBS just had a special on earthquakes in the cascade range. Which is a fault like the one that made the Andes where the Incas go. "Carve up a hill, for a ship to land in the Andes, PARK IT, PARK IT." Excuses me, couldn't resist Frank Zappa humor. Ha, they even named a rock after the place, "Andisite". Which is a rock that comes from a subduction zone, just like the subduction zone that runs along the North West coast. Did you catch the week in review? Bush says all life is precious and then signs a bill to drill in a "Wild Life Sanctuary." Sanctuary, isn't that like going to a church or being in a church? You seek "Sanctuary to be at peace or to run from danger. Mean while around the world 90 plus countries hate the United States and want to do everything they can to get rid of it. Now to tie this all together. Gas is up, thinking are down and the world can live with out us again. Yes it gave us another warning this week. Remember what happened to the world the last time Krakatoa past some gas. (1400's 1800's it blew ash around the world for 150 years the first time thus calling it the dark ages. In the 1800's the shock wave was heard around the would and dimmed the sun for two weeks. I'd like the two week version rather then the 150 years without sun light, make it hard for plants to grow.)

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

I was taking some close up pictures of moss and flowers. What I forgot to rmember is to look what I'm laying in and on. I'm sure this is going to be a good case of posion oak. There are some bumps on the back of my neck and head that are killing me. I'll have to call the doctor tomorrow,

Well, no more flower pictures for a few days. The rain has started. I had to do some dirt moving the last few days. The rains really was coming down in the last storm, about 9 inches. I noticed a oil film coming down the hill from the east side. Also the rain gutters don't tip down hill. The water is leaking into the house from the south side and I just had the celler dried out.

Been getting a lot done here as far as the closet goes. I can put 10 more boxes of cloths in there.
Well, on coat hangers. Still have about six boxes to unpack. I need a 1x12x5 feet for the shelf. I used a couple of thos parts of the closet orginizer. Going to put some more shelves in the second bed room. Need to do some thing about the closet in that room.

Well, well, Jordan's on so it's getting close to bed time.

What a week!

What happened to the past week, as a mater of fact what happened to the past two or three weeks, I let my computer set the time "Automatically": but it doesn't seem to work since I re installed everything getting rid of those pesky programs, My hibernate doesn't work. I need to figure out this modem sharing.

 

Well, Easter tomorrow, guess I'll do some painting. The pains are still going on the right side of me. Still I think this has something to do with my knee.

 

Working one a hybrid antenna into a super TV antenna. Two Verticals, one high gain horizontal beam. Some of the channels are coming in better but some others are not so good. When I get the horizontal beam it should work better on the low end. It's been about two years since I haven't been able to receive the channel guide. At least that's working now.

 

The apple tree that fell over was made a bit shorter and modified like a trout mask replica. The roots are in the ground and the ground has been packed in. I also gave it some miracle grow. maybe I can get the parts that were growing can get going. 

 

I'm so worn out from the rain the fast few days. Working in the rain just suck the heat from you. Then when something smacks you in the head it's a real shock to the head. Speaking of head my sinuses are doing me in. It's those oak trees, My car turns this sort of powered yellow. Well I'm going to call it a night and what ever needs to get done will have to wait.

More Smoke and Mirrors

The news is crying out, save the brain dead lady.

No one's talking about who is going to pay for this but it has to be done.

It's not coming out of George's Medical Budget this year or any year in the future.

 

Oh, and by the way, we are going to start drilling in a "Wild Life Sanctuary in Alaska."

Ya, we can get a million barrels of oil per day just like that BP pipeline that should go online this years some time.

 

For those of your listeners who don't remember what happened when the oil companies couldn't get their way for the first Alaskan Pipeline. We forget the long lines and the even and odd days in which you could get gas. Then when the pipeline was put in the price of oil dropped a little but not much. I guess that's where we get the term, "they got you over a barrel."

 

For a President that claims to be doing common since things I have to question is that something a drunk would come up with?

What the real cost are

The insurance companies are like the mafia, you pay them so nothing happens to you.

You have to remember that insurance companies are not just into one service.

If you make a claim on your car because of an accident, the money doesn't come out of just one company but a insurance corporation.

Look are "General Insurance Corporation," "and their little lizard commercials" "Sears, and All-State the largest credit lenders in the nation." Nation Wide with all their subsidiaries. I haven't even started on the Health braches of insurance companies. Remember, they are corporations and not just companies. They make money by investing in places like the stock market, loaning money to banks and you pay for their investments because you are the end sucker that nothing is suppose to go wrong in your life. How about that life insurance, you get to collect after your dead, what a deal.

 

Well, lets start at the bad energy investments in Mexican energy back in the 70's and 80's that went bust?

What about those earthquakes in California?

What about all those "Tornados" and "Hurricanes" in the South East?

What about those real bad investments in Wall Street?

Remember Wall Street sucked 7 trillion dollars from people.They had to only pay 1.2 billion in fines and were asked not to do it again. No one went to jail either. This same group was a large contributors to the "Republican Party."

 

Why did the price go up in California? Because they would pay it.

Why does your car insurance in California go up, because they made it the law to have it.

This made it so every one had to buy insurance and now they could charge anything they wanted.

 

When it comes to insurance companies paying out money they drag their feet.

There are people that still haven't been paid for the devastation of the earthquakes in California.

There are some people that still haven't been paid from the Hurricanes in Florida like hurricane Andrew some 15 years ago.

 

 

The only way that we could make this all fair to all the people of the United States is to Nationalize Medical Insurance, We need to nationalize medicine too.

This will be the only way that it would be fair to all.

You could also work "Social Security" into this same program.

This would make the United State the biggest investor in the world and would make us a better country and not a country of people that spend all their time thinking of ways to steel money from others with in the laws we have set up.

Hot day.

Second day of wearing shorts. Taking a break and having some coffee. Need to get outside and change my oil next. So many projects but I feel so much better now that I've been on Prozac. Before that, I was just draging form day to day.

The smell of something dead under the house is almost gone so I'll be going under the house soon. I'll let the fans run for a few more days.

The amount of flowers popping up is unbelievable. Every day there is dosens more. You can tell it's spring the bugs are coming out.

Don't believe it. Must be the Bushniks sensering me

Just got done writing for two hours. Then when I went to check the spelling I lost everything. That darn MS firewall crap came up and asked if I wanted to permit the pop up. I pressed yes. Then every thing was gone.

More later.

Late night and nothing on but repeats

Was outside until 6:00PM to night. My legs hurt from all I've did today. Doesn't seem like much but it was. Lot's of little things. Picked up a end table and little TV at the thrift store. Good twenty dollar investment. The only thing is I can't find a remote for the TV. For now I'll use the VCR tuner. Going to have to run to the box store and see if they have one.

Can't keep up with drivers and new chip sets

What a time trying to get updates to my ATI video board. Looking at the list of video boards that they have made in the last four years is totally amazing. My board alone have a good dozen or so. Not only did they change the chip, they changed the drivers. The driver that are the latestdon't work with my board. I thought it was the FCC law that you had to give 10 years of support. Don't ask for a schematic, they will think yuo want it to copy their junk. Well, when the price comes down on the new board I want I'll get it. This one will move down the line to my other desk top where I do scanning and printing. That's something else I need, a printer that will print tabloid size paper.

It's to bad I was struck down with all these illnesses. From the Hep-C which took three years out of my life. Even more if you count the recovery time. Now my back is doing it again. I've been through two operations so far and it seems like it took about 3 years each to learn to walk again. To top it all off, my eyes are going. For some one that enjoys looking at nature and seeing the beauty in most every thing you see, it's rather depressing. I thought when I moved here I was going to die but I went through the hep-c treatment again which almost killed me.

This being poor crap is very depressing too. I used to make rather good money. Nothing to be called rich. Just where I could get anything I wanted any time I wanted.

What about the people that go out of there way to steel from you!

There's a girl in Fullerton that I have a real dislike or anger towards. It must have been from all the drug use and the people they hung around with. They all were professional criminals. I never met any one like them before. What I'm getting at is I was living with some friends and had all my stuff in storage. Her and her boy friend I thought were friends at least in the way they wouldn't steel from you. They all turned out to be real losers. Wendy Weidman and Jaime Hacke had a child together. They also liked dancing. A mutual friend ask me to come out to one of there camp outs to take pictures of the event. After going to there houses for several years, I thought I could call them friends. I should have been warned when Jaime was busted for transporting pot for Jesse. I didn't know how involved they all were but it was a living. They didn't need to work what we call a regular job. From the growing of pot on indian lands to the distabution parties. I thought it was just a group of people getting to gether but it turned out to be the dedicated buyers and sellers.

Well, my dilema, I loaned them my "Stereo and TV." Not just any stereo but a 450 true RMS watt output tuner with all the video in and outputs. It was set up for a daul Cassete or tape drives, CD's, Laser Disks, 2 VCR's, and phono input for a magnetic cartridge. That was just the tuner. The TV was a Sony Trinitron with picture in picture. It had 3 audio and video inputs. Lets see, one CD player, One dual cassete deck, one turn table, one VCR. I think this is all the electronic parts. Then there was the speakers, the two fron speakers were custom made 5 way speakers. The center speaker was a radio shack shealded speaker. The rear speakers were two to small ones that went with a sub-wolffer. Then there was the two Altec "Voice of the theater" speaker in oak cabnets. Wendy told me that last time I talked to her that the TV didn't work. I can imagine how lazy she is because her daughter threw the remote on the floor. Then when Jaime picked it up he set it on a table, where she picked it up again and put it in a large glass of water. Wendy doesn't remember that because of her drinking. Drinking does that to people.

Still raining and still back pain

Been raining on and off today, mostly on. Turkeys all showed up and the boys were showing off for the girls. There has been several new little squirrels coming out with their mothers. Didn't see any deer today. There is one flower that had opened up. I'll have to post it.

The back pain is just un-believable. It reminds me of when I had surgery. The pills don't work are all. Well, they do, I do bump into things but the back pain going from my waste down to my toes. I can't stand for to long, only a few minutes before I have to sit or lay down.

Had to re-format my drive on the desk top computer. It started acting weird, dialing the phone and restarting. I had to much junk on it anyway.

PAIN and NO SLEEP

Well, things were much easier 18,630.75 days ago. Now this old body is giving out from too much fun. Yes, too much fun. Too much sex. Too much running. To much falling of big rocks. And worst of all was the legal stuff I drank. Yes, "alcohol damages every body." I ruins the integrity of every cell. You could say it's like a paper bag. While the bag is dry it's rather strong. Get that bag wet and it falls a part.

To top it all off, my hard drive on my desk top is giving me some problems. Maybe it's only a virus or bad ATI software drivers. Having a hard drive fail right now would ruin me financially. I know I do want to get a big drive but I don't want to have to be forced to doing that. I'd buy a tire for my car if I had any extra money.

Well, had my morning cup of coffee and maybe I can fall a sleep. I've on;y slept 2 hours so far tonight. I hear the turkeys signaling each other as they wake up. Soon they will be mossying this way.

Das Bush Sides with EVIL-DOERS

Bush gets his way and helps out the corporate evil-doers. Now it's easier to harm people and get away with it, just like it was in the 1800's. Get a bad product, tough. Das Bush is getting worse then the "Bin." Why fight a war over seas when your president is working against you. Let's not forget how we got here. Bush lied to get into office. He lied about what Saddam had or didn't have or see. He's pushing the Social Security reform saying there is a big immanent problem. That's just like he did when he sold the media blitz on the war with Iraq. "We have to go to war" Bush said. Now he's saying, "we must attack Socail Security because it will kill you with a mushroom cloud." For a guy that says he has such high morels he's sure killing a lot of Iraqis. What about the babies and the unborn, I'm sure your bombs have killed a few by now. Estaments have it around 100,000 people have been killed in Iraq. For a president that says "We have to support the troop, he's cutting medical care for the wounded. He's cutting benifits to the National Gaurd. He's keeping the troops in longer then they signed up for." I know he's breaking contracts left and right on the "Bush Crusaides." It's to bad we have a former drunk in the whitehouse. It's to bad he never went to AA to get on the right track. All the people that went to churchs instead of AA are still drunk. I really believe he's in charge and he's not getting manipulated. With everyone looking under every rock to find a terrorist, it's the Joe McCarthy era all over again. To bad it's going to take years to recover from all this Bushism.

Put you marals behind you and get on the corparate band wagon. Learn how to take advantage of the system and do on to others and get rich.

The Meek Get Squat

All men are created equal? We are all Gods children? The meek shall inherit the earth? As Frank Zappa said a few years ago, "The meek shall inhered nothing." It's the rich not just the well off but the fascist right rich that are going to be on top. Looking at the days of the Ferro's, could that have been the way things played out? Did the "Ferro's" once control the world? Did we, the people of the earth all beg for work on the Ferro's projects? Why is there a desert there?

It's been shown that in mexico that that fall of the oldest group of Aztecs died out because they cut down the trees to make plaster. Was that their downfall? Just trying to look nice and stylish? With all the wood they needed to make plaster itstriped off the land which let the rain wash away the top soil which caused thecrops to fail. Did this same thing happen in Africa? Did they burn so much of the forests to make plaster for the temples and pyramids? After the trees were gone, then the desert started and kept going to what we see today?

It's a passing thought along with the ideas of what has happened in the world in the name of some bodies God or God's. Adalf mobilized the Germans which were of a Christian nature. Bush mobilized the people of the United States telling them that he had values. We found out his values, oil and money are his values. Yes his rich friends rule and the rest of us are just a burdon to him unless your putting money in his pocket. The United States mobilized it's people to fight off communism saying a free market is the way. Which means that man with the most makes the laws. The American Indian was the first group of people that opperated a communist type of government. Unfortunately it was in deep decline when the first Europeans came to the new world. Why there was this decline has most people questioning. I think it was because of the have nots wanting more and the chiefs elivating themselves to the point of Gods.

It's money that matters and not what you know. It's who you know and how much you can grease the wheels. "Bribe" is a bad word facing extinction. People don't bribe others these days we call them "contributions." Thous making might with money makes right.

Speaking of might, have you noticed that cops don't wound people anymore? Why, thay might get sued. Kill them off and silence them. It's been changing though, the new use of media is becoming like a gun. If you condem a person so much that they have to leave the world with their tail dragging. Bush's Karl Rove used thisto make Kerry look like a boob. What's the funny part of it is that the people of the United Stated believed him and re-elected "Das Bush." Most of the "Bush Sheep" believe Bin and Saddam are linked and that WMD have been found., even though the bi-partisain report said that they didn't.

How soon every one forgets these days. No one remembers the days of Nixon. The only reason the Gingrich Republicans went after Clinton was because they could. Now when Das Bush talks about the lack of judges we need to look back to the 90's when the Gingrich Republicans were in office and what they all did. This push to maake it like it was in the 1800's and to cut peoples rights is slow coming but it's coming. "Das Bush" doesn't have to get re-elected so the Religious Right don't have to get their way and can be tost a side. The Neo-Cons idea of a world controled by corperations is coming saying freedom and free trade is the way. It's a demactatic way. The Eyes have it and the the meek get it where the gay boys want it.

Looking back in time where the church used the people to go on the "Crusades" saying that these people are heithens. That they are Godless. That it was their duty to rape, pilage and plunder the middle east for fun and pleasure. It was you duty as a Christain. Now with people like Condo Rice telling the world, "Well that's old news, lets put that behind us."

We only have one world and throwing out the parts that make the world work is a wrong idea. We need to work towards a society (world population) that will work for all and not the rich. If everyone was able to do what every they wanted for the good of the people of the world and not what's good for a few then we would end starvation, poverty and war.

It must be the flu

I thought I escaped the flu but it looks like I didn't. I had my usual aches and painds today but tonight it just hit me. My head feels like it's going to explode. My body hurts all over. This would explain the skidders for the last couple days and I thought it was just the change in medications. With my luck it's going to be some sort of bird flu with all the birds I have out here. The turkeys all look well even though it's been raining. Standing up I'm so dizzy and almost fell over walking into the bedroom. Time for the electric blanket.

What will be our end times be after the 100 year war

Well, the Bushster has really got us into it. When the Iraqis ask why we are building permanent camps, no one has any answers. At first I was hooked on the dribble the administration had said. The talk that "Bin" and "Saddam" slept together didn't seem to fly when Bush kept fighting to go to war instead of inspections. Bush and the TEAM (Neo-Cons) did the best sales job on this country just like selling a car or some fancy new record player. Karl reminds me of "The Brain" from Pinky and the Brain cartoon. Every night the Brain schemes to take over the world. If we didn't find those WMD and no link to Bin then WHY should we believe any other thing he has to sell us. If you bought a used car and it was a lemon would you go back to the same sales man.

With the biggest telescope in space which can look back in time to the beginning of the universe, don't you think we could turn the scope and look down to earth and see something. Oh, That's right the military has their own telescopes that look at the earth. From a USGS report while I was in college, they had showed a date on a dime from space. That was in 1976. That was before we had good optics in space and good microprocessors. Back then a minicomputer was running at 10 megahertz and 16k of memory was a big thing. That's when I first came across Fairchild's optic chips. At that time 64 bits was a big thing in optic chips. That group was sold to the Japanese and the rest was history. The video camcorder was born.

The biggest mistake that could happen to science is the loss of the Hubble Telescope. Bush's idea of science is breading cows or making H-bombs. Those ideas that came out briefly a couple years ago while we were in Afghanistan. Bush or some one at that time was talking about "Bunker Buster A-Bombs." It didn't dawn on me then but when they started talking about Iran's enrichment program and their sites were underground then it all started to make sense. Yes George, I can add two and two and come up with oil the chief export of Iran. Lets not forget the BP pipeline running from just north of Iran to Turkey. Is it about democracy or is it about oil, since all your fathers friends are tied to oil.

The Girls are back

The hens all stopped by today. All three dozen of them. I haven't seen the girls in a couple weeks or so. The boys did the "I'm hormoning number." Flashing their feathers and standing with their heads in the air.

The deer also stopped by after dark. Last night, Big Buddy walked up on the porch and looked in the window. I startled Big Buddy as he was looking in seeing me laying down watching TV.

These new meds. really knock me out. Well you have to do what you have to do to stay alive. To bad my bones aren't doing so well. Going in for a cortisone shot in my lower back. I still don't have any answers for my shoulder pain. My knee is giving me problems again just like before my knee surgery. Maybe I'll have to get something done to make it feel like it's not a ball joint dangling in the wind. The pain in my legs is back too. Guess cooking tonight was to much for me. Terrible when you can't even cook dinner for yourself without causing yourself so much pain you can't even stand.

Have you ever notices, Doctor Condo Rice looks like an alien from the side.

Also noted that on the news they referred to Bush republicans and the "Neo-Cons" as"Fascist Right." I'd say the republicans are a bunch of Fascist making everyone do what they want by manipulating the media for their fascist views. What gets me is they call it being a "Christian."

Still later that same night

Have the feeling that I'm on a boat. The way I'm moving around it must be some sort of new problem that I need to find out what's happening. It seems like that same thing Mike Fox has. Mr. Shaky deciese. The electric shocks and migraine is still going. It felt good in the morning until I sat up then it all started coming back. I hate my back because it's so hard to sit up. Standing is really becoming a broblem. Well Charle Rose is on so I'll listen to that. I missed Frontline and I wanted to tape that one too.

Capital hill is in the dark again, here comes the sales program

Dr. Rice says lets what happened in the past four years go. Just forget what Bush said and has done. It's all good. Now we can work together for The Bush agenda, with the direction of the "Neo-Con's" and the "Vulcans"

Bush said his new budget is a good one but if your poor your out of luck since the poor don't make any contribution to the Republican party. That's right, they are poor, they don't have money. If they had money then they wouldn't be poor.

Sprinkles but rain next week

Rained today, it started this morning. Don't feel like doing much my electric head ache has combined with a migraine. Now I shake in the dark. Every little noise is so loud. I hear the battery operated clocks clunking as the arms turn. Nothing like watching TV with your eyes closed. Seems my blank times are getting longer. I'll be talking and forget where I was. Almost to the point of not knowing where I am. It will take some time but I'll remember where I am. Not sure why my ears have a ringing to them. Tonight it is screaming blocking all the other sounds out. I hear them but they are irritating. I guess I'll go back to bed. See if I can wake up and be drenched and have to change my cloths. I was asked earlier if I was dizzy or loose my balance. If sitting here and loosing my balance is anything then I'm dizzy I guess. I need to find out why my eye hurts. Well, it's more like my brain or skull above my eye. Feeling my head it feels like the skull is cracked and the part is sticking out. Like there is swelling behind my skull pushing it out. I wish I could have told my doctor how I feel in words that he would understand. I feel like I' crying with no sound, the tears are there.

Sorry no animal stories tonight.
