The Workshop

 Well this little adventure into woodworking has turned the corner into a full time hobby it seems. I am just really pleased with my little shop I must say. From the way it has answered the harsh conditions and also the little things. It is nothing but a 4 foot by 4 1/2? foot square with a door. It is two sheets of framed 4x8 ply that I cut an inch off the length and stood up on end. I then made a door my height and put it in the corner of our bottom floor cement deck. So it is only one fifth a structure lol. But in that little space I have my workbench with vice and lathe, Drill press, chop saw, scroll saw, grinder, hand drill and jigsaw, plus everything else I need to do my stuff. mostly led lighting, a smoke alarm, lock of course, There is a large storage area above the bench and plenty of room for all the little pieces I have to use. I will get a picture of it soon but I am still finding ways to mess it up right now. This all got started little by little and it is still growing. There is a wonderful story behind this all, an intervention of sorts from the last place I would have looked. All because I let life happen.

America - I'm Lovin' It!

Welcome to America.... Can I take Your Order? As this week begins, I am reminded again that the events and results from the previous year are trying to push themselves into this one. We are just short of that time when we permanently scar the buttocks of the nation with an asterisk and a question mark. When we hand over the government to those who wish to erode it away. Globalism made to order for a few, the people still a commodity being traded away in the most covert and overt of manners. I have written about the outright antagonism that the Russians have engaged in, the voting and manipulation of the American psyche. Breaking in to C-Span, dogging our cyber security and basically just laughing at us, we apparently are not going to do anything. There are others involved in this as well including our pals the Israelis, if there was a closer tie to another Super Power in this world we would be closer to China, but the Russians are working on them as well, so here we are....

With Slings of David

I have had this title sitting up here since November 10th. I had no idea what it was supposed to mean, though I didn't get rid of it for some reason. Was it some part of an idea or concept that already escaped me? Or one that was yet to fully come into clarity? I have no idea where this block is originating from, but it's reach feels somewhat gigantic. Mercury in retrograde may be a part of it, or an inner tornado of bile that won't settle down with the best meds around. Maybe it is just a huge denial system that got kick started like an atomic bomb? Maybe it is a huge realization and a betterment of my perceptions? Maybe it is a grief of mourning for what I once thought I knew, not only about my country, but about people as well? I don't know what to call it because it has not yet made itself clear enough to me. Thus I pick up the pen, or in this case keyboard and walk my way through this. It must have needed a crisp New Year, a new perspective to get something out...

The Cost of Living

In today's world that title is thrown out there to speak of a lot of things. The cost of housing, and food and electricity, you throw them all together and that is your penance. You must be responsible enough or dirty enough to succeed in covering your cost of living. Through hard work or in some cases none at all, people are programmed from the beginning to cover their costs. There is a price for living in today's world and the rest will be culled by societal natural selection. The fittest survive, the others struggle, while some just simply walk around in their meatsuits, the walking dead. That is our grand society, that is the nature of our success, we enslave from the get go. Program and pull levers to make our offspring just that much more efficient. The system has gone well for so long and it has produced some amazing success, but it is an old and unthinking model that allows nothing else to replace it. A conscription before they are even born, expectations created and a ...
