"You can never get enough..."

                                    snow on the suite van...but I have decamped to an inside room

awoke this morning about dawn and clicked on television...FOX news;Maria/Trump                                 the subtitles were on so I listened to N. Lane et.al and marveled at the fact that through                           modern technology I can be delighted and offended at the same time...I watched J.Biden                         address congress last night...I paid special attention to the number of men who were not                          wearing neck-ties....approximately zero...bad sign...in a rut...a serious rut...I was hoping that                       Ms. Harris was wearing a good pair of running shoes or climbing boots...but I could not see.                 the chief executive seemed to hit on many of the important issues...childcare ,education,                         minimum wage...all well and good but I am not sure if anyone in government has considered                 what is happening on this planet on a daily basis which if not changed will destroy our capacity            to exist...we are going to smother in our own garbage...we need a department of recycling and conservation...I heard that soon the weight of the plastic in the oceans will be greater than the                weight of the fish...THIS JUST IN! i am watching the BBC news and they have a story about                  investing in  vintage shoes...sneakers and basketball shoes mainly...not likely to make much of a             dent in the amount of garbage though...when a hurricane hit the U.S. gulf coast a while back                  I read about how many tons of garbage was sitting in piles waiting to be picked up...the price                  of lumber has tripled since last year...but a few days ago I looked in a dumpster at a construction             site and there was perfectly good lumber being trashed...most of the "litter" that I see is packaging          and most of that is plastic and most of this plastic is deteriorating and becoming a part of the soil          which will poison future generations...                                                                                                        so here are some recommendations I have for movies on DVDs..."The Wild Bunch" made in about        1969 directed by Sam Peckinpah...I dont think so! this movie is offensive...gratuitous violence...             they must have gotten a good deal on buying a bunch of fake blood...so many people being shot            that some of them are being killed several times...also there is cruelty to animals...a bridge breaks and     horses fall into the river...the scorpions in the ant pile is gross...and the movie is an insult to Mexicans as they are depicted as either stupid or cruel or both...however the acting and the actors are OK...the script is moronic...I did pick up a collection of Oscar Wilde movies and watched "The Picture of            Dorian Gray" from 1976 with John Gielgud...a good story with excellent actors...

and I feel compelled to comment on Mr. Scotts comments on what pres. Biden said last night....               Mr. Scotts rebuttal will go down in history along with Piyush Jindals as some  of the most ill thought        out comments and self serving aggrandizement ever to insult the american public..."Cotton to             Congress" indeed...

  last blog was just deleted....so here is one that will more interesting

just to explain what has been happening in my life let me relate the origin of this laptop...bought from the ten-hand thrift store in lluma.

it has a back door so that it can be hacked...the thrift store is populated with lots of "volunteers" that have links to the clandestine forces which now seek to dominate this country...and lluma is the place where their population is thickest...and not for the public good.  when i was in a room at the el rauncho hot-ell this laptop was hacked  as I was transferring my photography...also my phone which I use was hacked and I got an emergency alert for an Amber Alert...in general everything I do is subject to scrutiny and harassment. And I will continue to document this activity...all I want is money now...If the government sees fit o allow this to happen then they can have a corrupted government...I want significant monetary damages for the harassment...and I intend to repay in kind the treatment I have endured for these decades..."conspiracy to commit computer intrusion" is a violation of the law...which is but a little infraction compared to what I encounter daily...my van has a transmitter...which I have sought to use to my advantage by giving a running commentary  as I drive...my computer, phone and even my snail mail is scrutinized unlawfully...I certainly do not expect anyone to pay me anything, but I do expect to be loud enough to be heard...damn the torpedos!  I am not contrite enough for these gangsters. (contrite from the latin meaning to grind down)                                                   errizona is home to a right wing faction which has infiltrated the military and law enforcement...the border patrol has been compromised as well as most of the government enforcement agencies..it does not bode well for the future of this country...I watch the whoopla about the conviction of one errant cop who was obviously so affected by PTSD that the casual killing of a suspect seemed not to register in his self preservation...the much more important reality is that the stage has been set for the violent confrontation of factions in this country who have been polarized by both the so called left and the so called right...and armed violence can not be far behind...and I am "Civiliter Mortus" 

"Even if they give you the cow..."

        a very sad encounter with a porcupine which has been stuck with quills in its face...

NEWS FLASH NEWS FLASH NEWS FLASH                                                                                              MISS MOO MISSING...Mr. Teatsqueezer has alerted the local authorities that his dairy cow               has jumped the fence and is now loose somewhere in the countryside..he has this to say                          "well this is not the first time Miss Moo has jumped the fence...she usually jumps the fence                     at least once every springtime...but she always stays pretty close to the farm...and Rupert, our                family dog has also disappeared and he usually stays pretty close to Miss Moo..they are good                  companions...Horace the hog has stayed pretty close to his feed trough as he usually does...                     When Miss Moo was lead out of the barn by Mr. Panza who has been here at the dairy for 30 years          she leapt away as soon as the rope was removed from her halter...Mr. Panza knew Miss Moos mother    and her grandmother and he has always found her after her seasonal escape...usually standing near         some of the neighbors milk cows or standing in the creek...                                                                            Mr. Panza had this to say..."Even if they give you the cow...you still have to hold the rope."

just saw the temps today for where i am headed...33 degrees WOW been 100 degrees where i;ve been WOW...contrast is what makes things seem different...and stimulating...positive stimuli and negative stimuli...some people just need more stimuli to exist satisfactorily...some people exist well with bland    i have an acquaintance who said he had to seek counseling because he kept trading in his car to buy a new car because he loved that "new car smell"...far be it from me to criticize someone's source of stimulation...but that sort of behavior is not "the norm"...which brings me to a subject which is near and dear to my heart...mental illness...there is not a test to determine what is normal because is a           sort of mathematical ideal which only describes what is most common ...and actually there are laws which are based on the "community norms"... or what is normal for that community... when i lived in san francisco  what was normal would not pass muster in say alexandria, louisiana...although i know that some of the same activities which are common in san francisco are common in alexandria...now i think too often people think they are crazy because they take what they think too seriously...one of my favorite bits of advice is "DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK"...which i have to remember daily...someone recently brought up the occurrence of "DELUSIONS"... i highly recommend that people read or listen to the audio book by oliver sacks called "HALLUCINATIONS" because he explains the differences between delusions and hallucinations and misperceptions and a whole lot of other mental states people encounter...if more people were more aware of the very wide mental states they would despair less of their own...I was reading an interview with Brian Wilson who was one of the driving forces of the musical group known as the "Beach Boys"  mr wilson said he has heard voices since he was a child,,,he just did not let these voices control his life and was very creative and productive...but he also was incapacitated due to mental states at times...the point being you do what you can and avoid things that make you unable to function in society...now the billionaire howard hughes submerged from society and eventually sort of became unable to function in a healthy manner and ended his days in a bad way.  all that money did not help him it hindered him ..you sort of need to make sure you are functioning in a reality based  world...which leads me to the current trend to legalize pot and other drugs...which will keep more people from being in jail but will allow more people to get high which will lead to more people having mental stability issues...i have a good DVD from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute which deals with bi-polar and manic depression disorders...the speaker is a Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison who researches these mental states...and she is also Bi Polar..her research indicated that these mental states are severely exacerbated by the use of drugs, sleep deprivation and stress...all of which a person can experience daily...she also says that these particular mental states can be inherited...so don't despair if you experience "mental dis-ease" there are ways to lessen the discomfort and proceed in life...and remember "DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK"
