once again i must bring up some inevitables...not one single candidate has said anything about such realities as the need to recycle (or die) also if you go to  sal marcogliano @"whats going on with shipping" he can show you how many barrels (oil is measured in barrels water in gallons) of oil are being shipped every day and all of it will be used...whatever goals were set to quit using fossil fuels have been abandoned...the floods which are "once in a century" are the result of atmospheric changes which result in temperature changes which result in "catastrophic" weather...pretty simple stuff...i keep hearing about the terrible terrible people who have money...money which they earned from "creating" things that people use...i see where mark zuckerbergs face was attached to an article about a boat that he owns not rendering aid to a boat which was sinking...mr zuckerberg was not even on his boat...but he has money and he is guilty guilty guilty!...(of capitalism) also i recently heard elon musk described as a "robber baron"...also has money earned from his "creations"...what a load of anti-capitalist crap...i use no products from either of these "creators"...i sit here watching all the "candidates" making last ditch (emphasis on ditch) attempts to get theyselves elected (vote for me and I'll set you free!)...now we need to turn most of the machinery of governance to "super-intelligence" and the result can't be any worse than it is now...it can't hallucinate any worse than the delusional government...i watch with some interest as the students in france take to the torch and violence...as mr musk has pointed out repeatedly, a person can get a doctorate level education online if they seek to do so...universities are a bogus expense that invests in nice grounds and air conditioning...i went to classes in two universities and am glad i did because i got to see the reality of what the tuition money pays for...the internet is the modern equivalent of the library at Alexandria and the library of congress etc etc etc...mr musk will soon offer access to the internet direct to your phone...perhaps we be on the road to getting off the corrupted government tit...

"Evelyns Farm Diaries" is a good site for "agri-tainent"..."RustRidgeRanch" has Adrianna trying to tidy up the barn and make room for round hay bales...(i prefer square bales as there is nothing needed but muscle power to move it"...also Reagan Winner@ "torquedbyreagan" (corrected spelling) is still working circles around all others...i would recommend that she consult with a specialist and use disinfectant on all her livestock trailer cleanings...the medical mafiosi are making my life tough since one of their main money sources here in Yumertonville was convicted of embezzing 31 million bucks and sentenced to 7 years and his planes and property was confiscated...his wive escaped to the middle east where she lives on her luxury property...i used to use this guys multi-doctor medical facility as it was recommend to me by the federal government...i used to get 60 page medical bills from this guy...now these investigators need to get busy with the huge number of corrupted people in the medical profession...Ralph Nader has a recent presentation where he points out how medical facilities are enabling people by hiring more staff than are needed to do the job thus increasing the cost by a huge amount...i did not get any of the 6 billion dollar crypto-theft...not a damned dime!...well i am still a suspect..."Why we grieve futures that never happen" @TabooEducation (14 min) is another great piece by the lady from Perth ,Australia...speaking of death i was moved by seeing the young man in Bend, Oregon who was weeping copious tears after shooting a person in a school who had shot and killed three children...if you carry a "deadly weapon" you must assume that you will create a dead person if you use it properly...no tears needed...the responsible parent must be jailed for giving a gun to the unqualified 16 year old who shot the kids...not every person can have any gun at any time anywhere...that is stupid...more training, more scrutiny of a persons past and if a person seeks to have a "military grade" weapon they must be part of a "well regulated militia"...just makes sense...@Robert Sapolsky there is an excellent presentation called "Looks maxxing" (33min)...this presentation is very well researched  and has some alarming information about male mating rituals...

"Society cannot exist..."

...much rain yesterday...the only road out under 3 feet of water

week started loud as some gun goobers decided that they needed to show who was running things...this is unusual in this part of the desert...everyone is usually respectful of other peoples privacy...there is such a thing as "etiquette" even in the desert...especially in the desert...someone came over and had a conversation with the gun goobers (i think the gun goobers suggested that this was "gang" territory and they wanted to let everyone know they would be running things)...this ain't san diego or lost angels...this place is more old school sort of world view... so they packed up and disappeared and the quiet was restored                                 

needed to re-connect with the foxes and ravens...i named this one Katie-Jo...very pretty but wild

watched some very good youtube last couple of weeks..."Philosophize This #253 is about Alan Watts who i was told about perhaps 50 years ago...Mr. West has been traveling with his father so he has slowed up with his presentations for the last 2 or 3 months...he is back now with one of my favorite thinkers...i must admit i look at the offerings from Zoey Berg Eq. (correct spelling) every day... this young horse woman got a wild hair and went to Amsterdam on a whim and then up to the arctic circle to "swim with the killer whales "(Orcas) better her than me...i sure hope these here whales don't decide to see how she tastes...also i watch the wild farm girl Katie Walters as she tries to keep up her end of the deal to sustain the large number of dairy cows and some beef cows as well as a lot of equipment driving...she is less bitchy since she has her boyfriend around to bring her...whatever boyfriends bring (use your imagination)...i found a new woman in Ireland who does farming in greenhouses"Bloom and Greens by Chloe" is a well presented wealth of information about plants and life in general (very nice accent too!)...Milo (minderbender ) Rossi has a very detailed account of the Franklin expedition called "The Bones of the Franklin Expedition"...i have heard about this British led expedition my whole life but never heard any complete account of the fate of these people...spoiler alert...they be dead dead dead....but they scattered their bodies across a large area and Mr. Rossi documents all of the places these folks died...they were looking for a water route across the norther part of north america...only now with the warming weather has there been any real success in utilizing the "NORTHWEST PASSAGE"...as it is referred to...i listened to some good music also...Jesse Wells has a genius composition called "Death by firing squad"...he illuminates many inconsistencies...it made me suddenly realize that i am everything that the head of the war department does not like...too weird, too much beard and no testosterone at all!...the top image is from world war two training on this property...it is a projectile about a foot long which I found partly buried in the sand...it was "ordinance"  so it is still "ordinance"....and after carrying it for about 20 feet i realized i was not qualified to handle ordinance...i was trained at one time to load missiles with a forklift!...but when i find out who is interested in this bit of history i will have them get it to a safer spot...

well it is getting to my shut-eye time so i will sign off till later

                            half way there at lake have-a-chew city...rain storms last night

well got to quartzite and called the mechanic and he says the transmission needs servicing...in a week or so...did the math and realized my savings was not growing so i had to cease and desist with doing commerce with the "Motel Cartel"  and tried to rehabilitate my shower tent(s)...and pump...heard a term i think on "marketplace"...agri-tainment...the you tubers who show what "life on the farm" is like...some are more legit than others..."crazy jungle adventure" is by a lady on  a homestead in bolivia...garden and kids keep her busy..."beekeeping with natalee" is informative and well done...katie walters has made a couple of comments about "safety" so maybe there is a chance she will not loose her limbs or her life on her dangerous jobs..."Torqued by regan" is by regan winner who is more professional and competent and productive than anyone i have seen yet...truck driver, mechanic, cleaner, organizer and cleaning some more...GIVE THIS WOMAN A RAISE!...Zoe Berg is the most dedicated equestrian i have ever seen...boyfriends...not so much...lets go to africa!...@malangotravels this african man does some great low key videos...i was reading in a book which mentioned the african town Ujiji where stanley and livingston met...i looked it up and found this guy going around the town on a bike taxi...also his bus trip of about 750 miles from kigoma to dar es salaam on the VIP bus for 35 bucks was very informative...he points out that many people were moving to this area to grow crops...there was a current view of India on "marketplace"...everyone was making jewelry there or more plastic inedibles....dead end work if you ask me....as long as we are on africa there was a great piece on you tube about a subject i have long contemplated..."Why Sahara tribes wear black robes in the blazing sun" @Janvikapoor281t2 (32min)..this explains the physics of heat transfer and how after thousands of years the folks who died from heat caused the adjustment of garments...

been watching "Trump TV"...great idea now all the other folks who want to get elected need to quit spending all that money and present their case on their own youtube channel...his term "super-intelligence" is more fitting than AI and "Public execution by musketry"(the military term) needs to be reinstated...and the putting of the bullet-fest online will bring some closure to some folks...i seem to be getting a lot of pleas for me to get a concealed weapons permit...this is arizona after all...i want a bodyguard not a gun!...Trump certainly qualifies for the "PIECE PRIZE"...he seems to be getting a piece of everything...BUNDESGERICHTSHOF!...blunder!...

                         kaibab vs Aberts squirrel... is this a kaibab

                          the gayte is closed!

same ol' same ol'...round midnight the person upstairs began the noise...this is the quality inn in flagstaff arizona...i have never stayed here without being harassed...i asked the indian (this is important) girl if she could promise me a quiet room...number 108 is not that room...and i have been in this room 4 times now!...this place was sold recently apparently to the MOB!...the person/people who are on the payroll to keep organized crime in check are worse than useless...and the new management is as mob oriented as the last management...there are no rooms in flagstaff that i know of that are not indian owned (this is important)...they keep a list which they share with all the indian owned motels, hotels etc...if you get marked as a troublemaker you will get a lot of harassment...the place where i usually stay said they only had rooms with two beds and the price was 30% higher...business is business but bad business and dirty business is to be discouraged...and there seems to be a surge in dirty business in this town/county/state/country...lets move on

i decided to get some schooling in artificial intelligence...there are some pretty good tutorials on the subject..."7 AI terms you need to know" (11min)  @IBM technology..."mixture of experts", "model context protocol"...sound familiar...if not you might consider making yourself conversant on the subject...or at least familiar...i remember 40 years ago i used to snicker at the notion that computers were the future and i saw no use for them in zookeeping...then i was asking about a breeding program for endangered species and i was told that the math was complex in trying to figure out which animals would yield the most viable offspring in breeding programs (siberian tigers etc etc etc) so indeed computers were needed to have successful breeding programs...and now i own several laptops and i realized my understanding of A I was scant at best...it was quite an eye-opener to read even in its most primative form what is involved with using Artificial Intelligence...make yourself familiar with this nascent subject so you can make informed decisions... and i assume that any "KILL SWITCH" can be thwarted so we best deal with very well informed machines being naughty (disinterested malevolence) ...of a little less complex subject the way primative oil business has got us by the short hairs..."the seizure of Bab el-mandel" @what's going in in shipping" with Sal Marcogliano who is a shipping expert explains the complexities of all shipping and especially in this explosive region and how it effects the price of fuel at the pump...so i figured there might be a couple of electric farm tractors...there are dozens...they are not slaves to diesel fuel so they might be an alternative...even john deere has some electrics...help us out here Elon!...lets pivot to juicier subjects...i began to watch "How male fantasies fuel AI" by Dr. Mary Anne Franks @ university of mary washington...this seemed like a provocative subject but the audio was poor and maybe they can put in subtitles...and "Diogenes-the most eccentric philosopher" @biographics with simon whistler...this is a great review of the life and beliefs of a real radical thinker...i was alarmed at how much of this guys life i agreed with...also i listened to some very stimulating interviews with william buckley jr on "firing line"...his interview with jerry brown was very good and his interview with F.Lee Baily made me realize how articulate lawyers can be...mr Baily mentioned that he had gotten guilty people found innocent and innocent people found guilty...you pays your money and you takes your chances...there are lots of firing line interviews to choose from..."searching for floridas sugarcane-to-sugar process and giant sugar mills" TOPdiscovery (24min)..."Shoeing Rocco the Clydesdale is a BIG job"@ forfarriersbyfarriers(30min) this is a great view of a profession which was in every town and village for thousands of years...and it is important that we know of "Why Nancy Grace Roman telescope is about to change everything @Anton Petrov (16min)...the best telescope ever put in space... Colin Hay (men at work) at the santa cruz 40th anniversary concert (10min) this is a great musician and very funny...

the bottom wire on this cattle fence has no barbs so the pronghorn do not get ripped up by the fencing when they crawl under it...

the elk hop over the fence effortlessly but never crawl under

cattle are sure that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence

as long as we are in a livestock state of mind i will recount some of the youtube sites which seem to have targeted me in the last week or so...initially i was only looking at "rust ridge ranch" and adrianna but suddenly i was assailed by thousands (at least dozens) of videos by "katie walters" who works on her dad and two uncles large farm in minnesota or maybe wisconson...anyhow these folks have thousands of acres of land and thousands of head of dairy cows and some beef bovines ...they have a gazzillion pieces of equipment all over the farm and it seems that a lot of it is being repaired...ms. walters is 30 years old going on twelve and should quit drinking....she will eventually quit (insanity/sobriety/death are the options available to us)...this woman drives all the equipment and can probably go into the movie business or work as a model if she decides to get off the farm...there is also "the aussie horse girl" who is interesting (cleavage seems to figure prominantly in most of these  female livestock presenters) there is however one very serious studious woman who promotes beef production...emma coffman @double E ranch advocacy...a wealth of information from a woman who raises beef cattle...i was inspired by watching these ladies getting around all this equipment and changed the oil and oil filter on the truck this week as well as the air filter...also had the tires rotated and balanced...changed the strings on the nylon string guitar as well...had some interesting encounters last week when a couple very large men decided to provoke me by assaulting me.(one guy dropped a snow ski on me and the other slammed himself into the couch behind me and if i had been a bit slower i might have suffered a broken arm)...in general i think the local "home-guard" (read mafia) has decided i am not respectful enough of their tyranny...well i never was very good at being popular with bullies...

got to look at some music and get ready for sleep now...

                                       some days you're in the mud

                     fall fuzz and flowers time

not everything was positive this week, or last week or for ever now that i think about it...i read a thought provoking bit of information last week on a site that posts "everything elon musk posted on twitter" today...this site "Jacob and Isacc" divides the tweets into several categories...on 9/1/26 there was a head turning post by "Brivael Le Pogan" which was a somewhat lengthy but lucid post about how the character of the state/nation/globe is being changed by forces from the inside...amazingly enough this post recounts how none other than senator joseph r mccarthy exposed how what he called "communists" had infiltrated all of government. well he was not scrupulous in his investigations and was called out on his rampant (rabid) denunciations of many publicly elected officials and employees. but neither was he wrong...however they killed the messenger and the infiltration has continued...i can say without fear of contradiction that employees of the libraries are hand picked and also the post-offices...if i was going to run for office i would try to find a more secure way to gather votes than by mail...

i read a very good article in the 12/1/25 New Yorker magazine entitled "The Big Ice is Sick' by ben taub with photos by ragnar axelsson...great photographer...very depressing information from greenland..."greenland is the largest island in the world. it is three times the size of texas. there are less than 57 thousand people living there"...this story is mainly about the people who hunt polar bears and how there are now not many polar bears to hunt....and the ones that are there are so imbued with toxins that it was determined that no more than ten grams of polar bear meat per week would be safe to consume...about the size of a grape!...serious bummer!...so anyhow, in a place that has such a low human population density you would think the environment would be pristine...so what this illustrates to me is that humans live on a globe and all parts of the globe are connected...for better or for worse...can't catch a ride with elon as his spots are all spoken for...might as well tough it out here...on a little more up-beat note i watched "Deep-Sea biodiversity on Mcdonnel seamount" from "nautilus live" (6min)...this few thousand meter dive shows how much life there is in the sea...hats off to these researchers...i did see a video a while back of a plastic garbage bag in the deepest trench in any ocean...serious bummer!...i found a very good video which illustrates what happened in nepal "What really happened during the 2026 nepal disaster" @anton petrov...mr petrov has used some great footage of the flood/slide event and points out that the higher air temperatures caused the ice to weaken and the rocks and ice slide in great volume down 50 or 60 miles of canyons and ravine at speeds exceeding a hundred miles per hour...he also studied the status of similar terrain and presents at least four places where similar disasters might occur...so don't go in the mountains, don't go near the volcanos, don't go by the ocean and the forests might burn up also...hello elon got a spare chair?!...anyhow the big news in europe is that the AfD political party in germany won an election...this means they get a sayso in government..."Will AfD take over germany?"@ UnHerd (36min) is a well presented and informative account of who and what AfD is...when all was said and done these pundits said what this party wants is to stop immigration...well that view has been around for at least 4 or 5 million years...those hunter gatherers got a lot of heat from those lifestock people...and here we are 4 or 5 million years later and 7 and a half billion more people and it must be addressed...less resources and more people can't be a good thing...lets not think about it...i dragged up some older interviews from "Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr." and thought that his interview with milton friedman was good as well as his interview with Madlyn Mura Ohare (atheist) and the Warren report interview was eye opening and i thought his interview with Hugh Hefner was good but best if only listened to because hugh is a strange looking guy...and i came across some good music in Pomplamoose "oh pretty woman" with the rainbow girls singing...what do you call that....ooooh, waaaa. etc....and there is a steller performance on the ball-point pen which should be noted...and Jazz Mexicano 1 hora de jazz @jazz world essentials is very nice...and i was very enthusiastic about Lukas Nelsons presentation of a tune/philosophy entitled "Dont loose your mind" (6:48) @ mr johnherring

well the new old phone has been hacked so i get a lot of warnings about needing a new PDF reader and such as that...if you are not aware of how many and how determined hackers are watch this interview from "soft white underbelly" with "Steve Sims"...and if this makes you feel defeated...""The idea of progress is a dangerous lie" @institute of art and ideas with John Gray...on a more positive note Cobbler G rebuilds a pair of 1978 wedding shoes and also his rebuild of a pair of redwing boots is good...Ms "girl with the dogs" has a couple of recent presentations which are good...she obviously uses her grooming skills on herself in her presentation about her oldest fur family member and she has a compasionate groom of a rescue dog which had matting so severe that it lost a foot..."The revenge trap" is good advice from "Taboo education"(11min)..."What happens when you compress water to its absolute limits" @grandpa walter...this scientific view reveals how much of the physical world remains to be understood..."The lost sisterhood of Gnosis-Barbelo, Sophia and Norea"@"labyrinth of the veiled" just when you thought you had it figured out...and "Hobbits weren't as capable as we thought" @gutsickgibbon (48min) this very knowledgable scientist says that the remains of the floreinsis people indicate they were probably scavengers of the kills made by komono dragons and not very advanced as was once thought...there is a very good interview on "soft white underbelly" with david "nino" rodriguez the most dangerous puncher"...this bad ass wins 32 fights then looses his focus then realizes his heart is not in the game anymore...(an hour and five minutes) worth a listen...
