POOTIN CLAIMS NEW TERRITORIES IN USA

at a special news conference held moments ago Mr. V. Pootin announced that Moscow, Idaho and St. Petersburg, Florida  actually belong to Russia! interview below...

Mr. Pootin as you know these cities have long been a part of the USA  "Well we also want Alaska back! We was robbed! and we see those torch light marches near the gulf coast and those are obviously fascist trouble makers!"  Mr. Pootin that is New Orleans and they are having Mardi Gras parades..."Heathen cults! they need to be eliminated from the wholesome people! The Borsch belt obviously is Russian in spirit and we will soon liberate them from the clutches of rampant capitalism!" Mr. Pootin anyone who is interested in moving to Russia is free to do so but we rather prefer to keep the United States united. "That democracy stuff is too slow! force and terror is whats needed to rule effectively! Interview over."

"A resolution to avoid an evil..."


                               

erratum...so to clarify the 4 wheeler comment...my experience has been that 98% of the people  that i see on 4 wheel vehicles are law abiding and conscientious...they do not litter and they enjoy the desert...i actually see more cars, trucks, vans and motor-homes driving on restricted land...usually because there are no signs to indicate that it is against the law...the sign people are remiss in their responsibilities...also i have realized that i have made a mistake in some of my activities to obtain game camera images...the food which i have put out has conditioned some of the animals to prefer digging in my possessions all night rather than digging out the kangaroo rats and other rodents which they usually feed on...i have made Frankenstein foxes from hell...not to mention that they poop on everything...in looking at the cottonwood water-trough game camera pictures i realize that all those animals drinking from a small water source have been subjected to hundreds of time as much exposure to deadly germs than they would usually be...imagine that you were with a hundred people and one small glass of water was passed around to for everyone to have a sip...i dont think so! anyhow i resolve to be more responsible to the animals welfare rather than to my desire to "get a good picture"...

"I am stunned..."

                                  here's looking at you kid...

i wonder what the odds are in Las Vegas on whether Putin will invade his neighbor                                   and even more interesting how many european nations will invest their "blood and treasure"                    to defend the invaded country...the smart money says Putin will bitch slap any country that                    tries to stop him from reassembling the old soviet union...its that testosterone poisoning combined          with his mid-life crisis and general lack of respect he is shown for being a tyrant...as far as  the                testosterone thing goes i heard about a research project that had young men do child care all day             and their testosterone dropped by more than 50%...who knew! that's the secret to avert the inevitable      demise of the planet due to inguinal aggression resulting in environmental disaster...too late!...damn!      now i hear there are  folks who follow me around to hack my cheap computer ($30)  and download           all my game camera images while i am charging the computer...well all of the game camera images    are going to be put online for anyone to access as soon as i figure out how to do it...there are several      thousand so this blog is probably not the place...I do not want to sell these images as I seek                      "To function primarily as a pointer rather than a seller." (stated purpose of "The Last Whole Earth"          catalogue)...it is in the best interest of all concerned to try to upgrade their grasp of the world by            reading and viewing more science and less blather..."I am stunned by how much data we have and how little of it we use. For me it's trying to build that bridge between data and information." Kristian Hammand computer scientist at Northwest University

"Those who think..."


                                     sign of the times....too bad for us all

big news in the news...for starters the republican leadership has declared that the sept.6th                               USA national capital...what was it? a riot? an armed insurrection? mostly a very poorly thought out forcefully implemented occupation of the seat of government...but the republican leadership has declared it a legitimate political protest...they seem to be lacking in higher cortical processes...to say the least...so in my travels through the desert i came across this sign which was undoubtedly ripped from the ground and destroyed by some anarchist 4 wheeler of which there is a large supply...the reason that riding across the desert just any ol' where is bad because it destroys wildlife habitat...and many a cactus has been destroyed by these these marauding poot heads...now in this part of the world there is what is called the "county supremacy movement" which adheres to the belief that the sheriffs are the highest legal authority in the land...and it was so back in the days of knights and castles in england...but not now...i see where the next supreme court nominee will be a Black woman...i was hoping it would be Whoope Goldberg...but she has gotten in a crufuffle of some sort...i just looked up her comment and one of the things that seldom gets mention about the nazi program to rid society of "impure" genetics is that people thought to be of jewish heritage were by far the largest number of victims of murder there were also jehovas witnesses, gypsies , Blacks and many others...but mostly jews...anyhow it is alarming that so much emphasis is placed on what may appear to some people to be an anti jewish remark (not anti semitic as there are non jewish semites) speaking of slavery i came across a book which may shed some light on the other slaves..."The other Slavery: The Uncovered story of Indian Enslavement in America" by andres resendez (2016)   in the world of natural history i just heard about an expedition to several asian countries which i think took place in 2020 and a new species of primate was discovered...a langur the Popa langur...on the not too good side of these expeditions i also read that the black plague originated from fleas found in the fur of a rodent from central asia called the tarbagns...we can only hope that people are careful about what gets transported around the world...last week my tangerines were inspected as i went through an agricultural checkpoint as in florida half of the citrus crop has been destroyed by a blight and they don't want it to end up in the western states...i just looked at an orange in wally world for 83 cents...whoa buddy!  i think a third political party may be needed in the USA as both parties seem to be overly strict in their doctrine..."Those who think that all virtue is to be found in their own party principles push matters to extremes: they do not consider that disproportion destroys a state".    so says aristotle in "politics"

on another point someone mentioned that some of my blogs have been deleted...i haven't taken the time to look at all the blogs and I am not sure if i would notice if any were deleted..however in the event that any of the  characters in my stories are eliminated i would like to go on record as allowing anyone to reproduce my blogs on non-commercial sites...i do not think that Mr. Teatsqueezer and his friends and family will go extinct as they have too many friends who liked them...regards michael

"Love is often nothing..."


                                     desert scene with wire and bird

the stalking and harassment has continued without ceasing...well for quite a while now                                however my market value has stayed steady...about zero...a good round number....                                        i recently read "huckleberry finn" by mark twain and published in the usa in 1885                                        i read it rather quickly and was somewhat disappointed...the story is rather too complicated                          for young readers and the wholesale use of the word "nigger" (over 100 times) seemed indulgent even in the 1880's the word was a slur...as it still is...when i recently heard sidney poitier remark that he did not come into contact with americans until he was 15 years old so did not have           the habit if "cringing" around white people that was exactly the same notion i had when i visited the virgin islands...the were no "niggers" they had not learned to cringe...which is what richard pryor said when he went to africa...no "Niggers"...imagine that...i tell you what is worse than the abrupt and vile practice of prejudice is...the long slow degradation as implemented by a dominant class over a subservient class...i personally have know black men who have been "niggered" to death over a period of many years...men who had self respect and ambition who succumbed to daily "aggression" and died many years prematurely...it a gruesome thing to see...

"Virtue is more clearly shown..."


                                     ants and the seed that they eat

i saw these ants and there were black round things around their entrance hole...rocks is what i figured they were...i figured the ants had picked up these rock and whittled them into round rocks...for what purpose i could not determine...then a little voice in my head said..."What! are you an idiot, those are seeds!" so i looked around and saw these prickly things and inside were the black seeds...but with a little white part..which must be the only part that they eat because the white part is gone on all the seeds around the ants entrance hole...another discovery for science...sort of...

i watched a very good movie a few days ago..."Dog Day Afternoon" with Al Pacino from 1975...spoiler alert...there are no dogs in this movie..it is about Sonny and Sal who try to rob a bank...it is not a documentary or a comedy...it is a tragedy...it is very dramatic..there is one memorable line which Sonny says to Leon which is the only funny line in the movie but it is still not a comedy the line is..."I'm with a guy who doesn't know where Wyoming is. Think you got problems!" anyhow Aristotle named tragedy as the highest form of poetry. Plato did not like tragedy...thought it would put bad ideas into the heads of youth...Socrates did not like tragedy either...Aristotle said tragedy has the power to impart virtue through the actors IMITATION of noble acts...i was thinking which poet might have written this movie...maybe charles bukowski...maybe alan ginsburg...who knows...Leon should get an academy award!

"Grief is not in the Nature of things..."


                                                                                                                                                                                                 

 some of the native americans thought the coyotes would be the last animals on earth
coyote came around for a drink of water here in the desert last night...very nice to see them again            governor of california may try to get vigilantes to enforce assault weapons bans...not a very good idea
watched "the people versus o j simpson' on dvd...outstandingly performed...there was a bit of genius in the casting by courtney bright and nicole daniels...read in a science journal where new undiscovered germs are being found as the perma-frost thaws in the arctic...more than half the deer tested in america  have tested positive for covid...so we a can assume that any animals with lungs can be vectors...humans had best realize that deadly viruses will become increasingly common and all precautions should be taken to protect against infection...lots of nurses have said they have had enough and are going to take the money and run...good for them...i have been diagnosed with "FATTY GRUNT SYNDROME" and my lawyer "HARVEY BIRDMAN ATTORNEY AT LAW" says i can sue the grocery store...yeah!          also i have HOMOPHILY...as does everyone else...it means liking those like yourself...EVERYONE is prejudiced...manatee starving in florida...we have lots of lettuce leaves left in the fields in Yuma...found a dvd in the dollar store called "American Buffalo" with dustin hoffman, dennis franz, sean nelson...a shockingly emotional film which only re-enforces my opinion that hoffman has never made a bad movie..."Grief is not in the nature of things, but in opinion" cicero
