well i have been fatigued since i awoke at 3 am this morning...actually dropped the tailgate and rolled out of the beggars tomb at 4 am after the noise became disturbing...armed with my new 6 foot all wood broom handle i opened the hood of the truck to see A GIANT RAT! sitting on my motor...damn those rats to hell!...my blood pressure goes sky high when this happens...i jabbed at the vermin and he withstood the poke...(i need to put a long nail on the tip of this pole) and disappeared into the engine compartment...i hastily (too late i believe) set the two rat traps and lay them on the engine...after watching some music DVDs until it was light enough to make my morning coffee i went about the oppressive routine of packing up to go into town...15 minutes to unpack...2 hours to pack...not good...not good at all...but i had determined to get the broken guitar to the new guitar shop in town and see if she will sing as well as before...overcast and threatening storms even as i write this...but no more fire restrictions in this area...the rain is good but as everywhere else extreme weather may occur at any time...i must stay where escape in the event of extreme rain...
heard on the radio that some "youths" have sued "the government" because they say "other people" are making climate change possible due to "carbon based fuels?"...can that be right?...the problem can be looked at several ways...too much carbon fuels or too many people...i prefer to think that if the population was made smaller as well as continuing to make fuels more efficient we would not have to be eating crickets and other foolish "remedies" for too much carbon in the atmosphere...no i think people have been told a big lie about what the petro-chemical industry has done to the environment...you never hear about population reduction...
i have also been hearing about the native American response to environmental degradation...the place in Hawaii that burned up used to be bird habitat and maybe should be planted to be bird habitat again...i get tired of hearing about the environmental "Natives"...more birds have gone extinct in Hawaii that any other place on earth..i get nauseous every time i hear about those "magnificent" bird feather robes.. .give some of that land back to the birds...i heard a native woman say that the giant protected spot off the coast of california was protected by her people for the last 20 thousand years...(most archeologists have recognized the salmon river site in idaho to be the oldest so far at 16,000 years...older than clovis) anyhow lets not quibble about a few thousand years...the fact of the matter is that ALL CULTURES PUT GROCERIES AT THE TOP OF THEIR LIST OF PRIORITIES...when those awful white people got to north america all the cultures were STONE AGE CULTURES...that had not begun the use of smelted metals...one tribe got big enough to push another tribe off their lands and they did it...from the east coast to the west coast...MIGHT MAKES RIGHT!...this has been the motivating factor for a million years and more...people respond to power and until enough power is put in the hands of people who are not MACHEVELIAN MOBSTERS the situation will not change...
picked up what i thought was a music DVD last week but it is a snowboard DVD called "Smithereens" and i must say i had to look at my 2003 winter Olympics DVD to compare skill levels...i have never seen as much "death defying" action in any sport as these snowboarders display...there is an ambulance section in the "extras" but most of the people seem to have gotten into a ZEN space to do this stuff...and survive...
well got to go and fix my sautéed onions with black beans and pork-chops for diner....
