The Sun is Sending us Gifts

As some of you may know, this is the beginning of the next big Solar Cycle. We are being blasted with Solar Flares on a regular basis and some of them are tremendous. This tentacle of plasma is spectacular.

FORT MILL | Tampered road signs warn of zombies, tanks on SC 160 | The Herald - Rock Hill, SC

With all the local road construction, I happened to get a little chuckle from this article. I believe if I saw this sign on the new State Hyw. 130 which runs parallel to Hyw. 183, I would slow down and keep an eagle eye out for anything suspicious crawling across the pavement.

A Little Light

I've been away for a while. I am trying to redirect this part of my life to a better place. I need to be more positive and therefore, I am working on letting go of the negative influences in life. That is a good thing. I was going to give up this blog. I had decided that it was not worth writing any more. But, I am going to try to be a little lighter in my subject matter. No more radiation. No more war talk. No more New World Order. I will confess, this is going to be hard for me. I get so wrapped up in those subjects. I think I have been brainwashed. So, I will do my best to be a little light in this world for a while.

I have to agree with this headline. I have not read the entire article, but I can attest to the fact that John Mack was a brilliant thinker and his ideas on the "big picture" was thought provoking to say the least. I am amazed at the diversity of opinion when it comes to the condition of the world today and what got us all here. It is my experience that most folks never think about that question. I have to smile and say, "Wow!". Wow, at the pleasant pace of these folks lives, that they can just ignore the world and all its problems. Don't get me wrong. I think it is not such a bad idea. They live life their way and that is a good thing. We worry about many things these days and I am not going to list them. Yet, in a new world kind of way, our lives are what we make of them. We create, therefore, it is. We seek peace and love and comfort and therefore, we find it. We make up our minds about things and that becomes, "the way it is". I tend to agree with that. Stop playing the game of worry about everything. Don't empower the dark side of life. Hold up to the light the bright side of life. Be a positive force and let your seeking of goodness be a beacon to others. We may not be able to make all the bad stuff go away, but we sure can in our own lives.....

A Moment in Time.....

Recently, I had an excited employee come up to me and ask me if I had heard the story of a dream a fellow worker had just a week or so ago. I had not heard the story and so I asked what it was.... Instead of him relating the story second hand, he paged the employee and this young man came to me and told me directly what had happened to him. I know I will not be able to relay the dream word for word, but I will do the best I can.

His Dream

While sleeping last week, I had a very vivid dream. In this dream I realized that I could not move because two strong hands were holding my wrists tightly from each side of my body. It was as I struggled to try to move that I realized that a creature was running back and forth in front of me so fast, that I was having a hard time seeing just what or who it was. As it passed in front of me, it yelled in a loud voice, "Serve Me!". It was frightening to see and hear and feel what was happening. All of a sudden, the creature stopped right in front of my face and I realized that this must be the Devil. He laughed and yelled once more, "Serve Me".  I said to him, NO. I Will Never Serve YOU. Once again he laughed at me and  began once again running back and forth in front of me. I immediately began to pray to God, asking for his protection and help. Once again the Devil stopped and said, "Serve Me".  I refused to say anything other than the fact that I would never serve him for I am a child of the one true God.  I continued to pray and the Devil said, "Isn't it funny that you call upon God for help now, but all this time you have been happy to serve me in your life until you have come face to face with me and realize that you have really been serving me all along. You serve in a church that is corrupted and serves me and not God." He said, "now you know the truth and you call on God to save you ....  Serve Me." I said once more, "NO. I rebuke you, leave me for I am a child of God and I only serve the One True God,"  The Devil went back to running back and forth and yelling in an even louder and more frightening voice, Serve Me....then he disappeared. Only at that point I could sit up and I got out of bed and went into the other room and told my Father what had happened. As we talked, we noticed that my wrists were red as if they had been squeezed by the grip of some strong hands. We prayed together and stayed up the rest of the night............

This was an eye opening revelation I had heard from this young man. Wow! What a dream! That story along with what had happened in Japan and what is happening in the Middle East just struck me as overwhelming. I think that is why I stated in a prior post that I am going through disaster fatigue. So, I went looking for something of beauty that would give me a boost of spirit. I found it in the work of our Creator. It fell on my eyes and ears in a discussion of Fractals. Fractals are the mathematical structure of everything. It is the building design of life and nature. It is a guidepost to show us all that there is a greater power that exists.

There will always be bad things in this world happening. The patterns and cycles of life always goes on. We tend to seize the bad things too often and keep them in our minds far too long. I am guilty of that. I need to find the beauty in life more often. I think that when we stopped being a part of the natural world, we might have lost that ability to see the beauty all around us.  What we need to do is stop leaning towards the darkness and evil in the world and start embracing the beauty in the world.

Whole Lotta Shakin Going On

My email gets alerts on Earthquakes in the USA and I added a region that includes an area stretching from north of Australia to Japan to Alaska. So far, we have had two more significant quakes in the past 2 days. Just tonight a 6.5 quake occurred in the ocean northeast of Australia.

I have disaster fatigue. It is hard to fathom the destruction in Japan and the loss of life and property. It is hard to imagine those brave men on that suicide mission to work in what is left of the nuclear reactor complex. And, it is hard to know who to believe about what is happening there in that complex and what is  going to happen next. Main stream media news (ABC,CBS,NBC,FOX,CNN) seem to be saying one thing and the alternative media reports seem to be warning about some much more.

I really am having a hard time deciding who to listen to...so, I will listen to both. Perhaps there is a meeting of the philosophies somewhere in there that will result in something close to the truth. In 29 minutes, I do believe the most accurate report is about to be given. I will have a sleepless night tonight for a while, listening to what this fellow has to say. Somehow, I think what he is about to say will be pretty nasty, but I am just guessing.

Yet, through all I have seen and heard the past week, one thing stands out above all else and that is the remarkable actions of the Japanese people. They seem to remain orderly in the face of the most terrible disaster we can ever imagine. They remain in perfect lines, waiting for food and gasoline. They are polite and grateful for help. They are spiritual. They cry. They pray. They hope. I only hope that we as Americans can learn something from them. In the face of a similar disaster, I wonder what will happen in our Nation. I remember the riots and the looting and the violence after the L.A. quake a few years back. God protect us all!

I think it is time to stop and pray or reflect on the needs of the Japanese and when you have asked God to help, become the means of that help. Give what you can. Do what you can. Reach out to to offer whatever you can. Don't just sit here reading this post, and going on without doing anything. Be proactive and reactive. Be a human for a change instead of an animal.

Third explosion rocks nuclear plant, radiation alert raised (Update)

Folks, I am going to tell you this once and I have no idea how many of you are reading this post....

GO TO THE PHARMACY AND ASK FOR POTASSIUM IODINE, OR BETTER YET, ORGANIC KELP TABLETS

WHICH SUPPLY 225MCG OF IODINE FROM KELP AND BEGIN TAKING AT LEAST 1 PER DAY....IF YOU ARE

NOT ALLERGIC TO THESE PRODUCTS....

WE DO HAVE RADIATION COMING OUR WAY, DESPITE WHAT ANY REPORT MIGHT BE SAYING. WE HAVE ABOUT 5 TO 6 DAYS BEFORE THE FIRST RADIATION REACHES THE WEST COAST AND THEN IT WILL FLOW ALONG WITH THE JET STREAM TO THE MIDWEST AND DOWN INTO NEW MEXICO AND ONWARD TO OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS THEN BACK NORTH TO THE EAST....

AS OTHER REACTORS MELT DOWN, MORE RADIOACTIVE PARTICLES ARE GOING TO BE RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY IF YOU DO NOT WANT THYROID CANCER IN A FEW YEARS. SINCE I DO NOT WATCH NETWORK NEWS I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS BEING REPORTED. I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHAT I DID SEE THE OTHER NIGHT WAS LACKING IN SUBSTANCE. DO THIS. THAT IODINE SHOULD COST YOU MORE THAN $10 PER BOTTLE . I PURCHASED 750 TABLETS AND THE MOST I PAID WAS $9.99 PER BOTTLE....AND THE LEAST WAS $4.99 PER BOTTLE.

IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!

It Might Be a Good Idea to Prepare

This will be a really quick post. I think it might be a good idea to do something this week that you may not have done as of this day....PREPARE. Go get a couple of weeks worth of quick and easy food that does not require a lot of preparation. Tornado season is approaching for us here in Texas and this situation with the Nuclear reactors in Japan actually may affect us.

This is not an Oil slick....this is a group of fish off the coast of California just this past day. When you get animal activity like this, something is up. We have a Super Moon coming and the Solar Coronal Ejections now hitting the Earth will be affecting the Earth with Geo-Magnetic activity. So, be prepared.

Nilsson - Everybody's Talkin'

Harry Nilsson..." One "

Three Dog Night made a hit of this Harry Nilsson song. But, he did the song and I love the way it sounds. He was on the phone one night and heard this beep beep beep beep which sparked an idea for a song.....and this is it.....

And Now For Something Completely Different

Whew! I feel great tonight! What a difference a day makes. I did not turn on the radio all day. I did not watch television, except for one documentary, which I will tell you about in a moment. Nothing negative to spoil the day. I washed clothes all day (very beneficial activity when you are trying to cleanse the soul of darkness). I stayed at home all day and had fun. I did my music thing. Ah, music soothes the savage soul and I do mean that from the bottom of my savage heart.

Yes, I washed a ton of dirty clothes. I was having so much fun that I decided to dirty some more clothes and wash them too, just for the fun of it. And, all through the day, I interspersed music. I downloaded over 200 new songs to a new playlist I call, "Coffee drinking Music". Oh, yes, I drank coffee all day. And, tonight I watched a documentary about Harry Nilsson, singer/songwriter. Wow!

Last night I had a wonderful time (prior to the earthquake) at an opening of a wonderful little exhibit of new art by James Tisdale, called Thoughts From China. I think that memory is what made the day start well. I just had to get away from all this heaviness of the world. You have to do that from time to time. So, what is the importance of all this? Life.

Last night as I walked around and looked at those pieces on display, I also was looking at all the artists in attendance of the affair. They were happy. They were having a great time. They were in their element. Despite everything else, they knew how to let go and find beauty and have fun in life.

When I go to affairs like the one last night, I always appreciate the talent of the artist. I have to say, James Tisdale is fantastic. I love his work. He captures emotion so well in these works of clay. How could you look into those eyes and not make a connection with the this face and the soul that must exist within the walls of this work of art?

I walked around and looked at these faces for a long time. Many of the artists who attended last night came and looked and then walked to corners to discuss and converse. I kept on looking. I just could not get enough. I found myself identifying with many of these little fellows. I also began to wonder if I were like any of them. In a way, I suppose we all are a great deal like these wonderful images. We are hollow, waiting to be filled with a new life. We all are a vessel, not unlike these characters, in that sense. But, the emotions on the faces....Wow!

There was one little fellow all by his lonesome. He is below. I had seen this piece before it was fired. I knew when I saw it for the first time, it was going to be something special. I could not wait to see what it was going to look like when finished....and here it is. 

Can you just imagine what thoughts are rushing through the mind of this little fellow? That is the kind of question that art makes you ask. And, in that moment when you ask, you realize too that the talent of the artist in the creation is so great that it provokes one to connect. Fantastic!

I could see a meditative quality to the piece below. Eyes closed. Contemplating life. Lost in thought. Carefree and yet so serious. 

Each piece seemed to have different qualities that made me imagine a story to attach to each one. Stern and watchful. Disturbed about the crowd who were walking around and looking with mouths open with amazement......

Quietly minding her own business, she waits for the crowds to thin so that she might relax and jump down and play in the room with her friends....

Hands on hips, they look on...not sure if they approve of all the activity....

And if all goes well and I could just get my fingers crossed, perhaps they will approve...

And, I did. What a wonderful night of art and conversation and visiting with old and new friends. That was the good of the evening....and then came this day that is ending now...

Harry Nilsson was another talent in his own right. I listened to the story of his life and heard the music he created and I was floored. So many talented people and so much to see, hear, and learn....where will the time come from for me to do all this? You may or may not know Harry Nilsson. The film said as much in the beginning. But, I guarantee you that you have heard his music. Well, that is if you are my age....

The story was a bitter sweet story filled with hardships and hopes and success and failure....not too different than life in general for most people. But, Nilsson did something with his life that I admire. Despite his ultimate demise due to his Rock Lifestyle, he lived his life to the fullest and in his own way. He created what he wanted to create and he loved everything he did. He was a maverick in the music field, who was well loved by musicians. He had a voice like an angel. He had a talent for lyrics and melody. He was recognized by his peers and yet he remained a humble man most of his life. He suffered and he let his suffering come to the surface in his work. He found happiness and that too came to be a part of his body of work. If only we all could find that great potential within and do as much with our lives as these two artists have and are doing. James Tisdale and Harry Nilsson...a couple of men I do admire. If you get the chance, go see the display at Laguna Gloria Gatehouse Gallery. You will love the Tisdale show! And, if you get a chance, purchase a few tunes of Harry Nilsson and see what I have been talking about.... sweet dreams to you all! Let the art float through your dreams tonight. 

Forgive Me For Not Saying Something

Well, I have to tell you a little story in conjunction with what happened last night in Japan. In the middle of the night last night, I let out a scream that woke me and my Wife. She reached over and grabbed me by the chin and shook me to make sure I was fully awake and alive. She asked me what was happening and I had to say, that I had a dream....it was frightening.

All night long I had bad dreams....

When I awoke this morning, I heard the news about the big Quake in Japan. I took a moment to go gather some of the news, but I did not need to dwell on it very long because I was beginning to feel a sense of gloom for not having voiced an opinion I had in my mind the last few days. It was not anything prophetic by any stretch. I just seem to get information that when you put it together, tends to be indicators of what might happen.  So here are the signs of something looming that have been in the news lately.

1) Massive fish die off at the Marina in Los Angeles.
2) 10 M Class Solar Flares the past 4 days   AND
3) THE PREDICTION OF A POSSIBLE X CLASS SOLAR FLARE THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
4) Increase of quakes in Arkansas over the past month.
5) The impending occurrence of the SUPER FULL MOON that is set to happen on the 19th of this month
6) A 7.1 quake in Japan just the other day
7) Massive movement and fluctuation of the magnetic field and poles

The three events that I should have mentioned were the magnetic field fluctuations, solar flares and the fish die off. It is hard to explain in a short time period the significance of these three things. The Magnetic field changes are an indicator of forces being exerted on our planet. The Solar flares are a factor creating those forces and the fish die off might be a big red flag of something about to happen. I know this is going to sound like pseudo-science, but animal behavior is a great indicator of things about to happen. Anytime animals or pets exhibit strange behavior, it is an indication of their sense of an event about to happen. Usually it is due to pressure changes and electromagnetic fluctuations that they are still able to pick up on that we as humans tend to ignore. If you do not believe me, go Google such things as frogs in the streets prior to the China big quake, or pets running away from home prior to a quake. Watch your old dog, and grab them and go if they freak out for no apparent reason.

We all know quakes occur all the time on this planet. All you have to do is pull up the USGS live quake map an you can see what is shaking all over this planet. Tectonic plates shift all the time and that creates changes in our world. It is usually a very slow process with some sudden lurches that get our attention. We are going to see more and more quakes and volcanic eruptions in the near future. That is a given. As our Solar System moves past the Galactic Plane and into a new energy field of gravity and rotational forces and who know what else, we are going to notice more and more events like this occurring. I doubt we are going to have a melt down like that seen in the movie 2012. I do expect that we will be seeing a change if the features of this world. And, here is the kicker to this whole enchilada. Many of the things that happen physically in the solid mass of this planet have an electromagnetic component to them. And, that electromagnetic component does indeed effect the human brain, just as it does with lower animals. And, that change of effect seen in an ever changing electromagnetic field will alter our consciousness. We indeed are changing in this world and in our lifetime. Have any of you felt the stress of life a bit more these past few months? What about all that tension in the Middle East? What about the degradation of the economy? What about the impending revolt against the systems of governments that just are not working any longer? What about the backlash that is coming against the corporations and big banks who are getting filthy rich while the general public is suffering? What about all those retirees who are going to see a reduction in benefits in their old age? I believe all this and more is directly related to this fluctuation in consciousness, directly relating to what is happening in the soup of fields and forces we live in. You cannot control it except for the fact that you must learn to recognize it and then through training of the mind, take control of your personal mental environment. Sounds like New Age crap, right? Well, it is not. It is a philosophy that has been preached for thousands of years.

Wake up and light up your mind and your soul. You all are the real light of the world. You all have that flickering flame burning within that warms the recesses of your SELF. Be aware of all that you can become. Change your personal world and you can change the entire world. If you are tired of all the conflict and worry and mess in the physical world, then make that change to a better world within and I guarantee you that you will change everything around you. You cannot get happiness and comfort and freedom from a legislated body. You can only have all that from within. Smile a bit more and I bet your world will become a bit brighter. Laugh a bit more and others will laugh with you. Sing a song and the world will sing with you. You can do it. I know. I have done it for myself.

BREAKING Nerve Gas used in Yemen on innocent protesters

Sad but true, when innocent or not so innocent people stand up against a Government they no longer feel is governing in a manner of and for the people, they take a great risk. And, that risk is the price you sometimes pay for freedom and justice. I feel so sorry for these people in the Middle East who just want freedom. Some may pay with their lives. Funny thing is, I think this uprising that is sweeping from country to country is really about OIL and POWER for someone who these folks do not even know. Open your eyes and look around for them here. It may save someone you know and love.

Is a Country Worth One Good Man

I am in the midst of an emotional state I cannot fully explain. So, I will not mince words tonight. Did you see the future spot market price of OIL for June? $200 per barrel is that price. Do you realize what that will do to our Nation?

Is there not one Good Man who will step up and say ENOUGH? Is there not one Good Woman who will stand with that Man and say, ENOUGH? We have blindly let this go on too long. It will come to no good and I do not think any of you will  realize that point until it is too late.

So, tonight I ask that you say a prayer for this Nation. I ask that you say a prayer for this World. I had always believed that within my lifetime, I would see and end to what once was and will never be again. I do believe my belief is about to come true.

For several weeks now, I have been giving you figures and predictions that really were not predictions at all. I am just a parrot. I just tell you what was told to me. I have no inside people telling me secrets. I only hear voices in the wind who are saying things that have been right before our eyes for many years. You wanted change. You now are about to have it. You ignored a One World Government that was coming because it was a CONSPIRACY THEORY. It is about to be a reality. You heard a former President stand before the Nation and say that there is a NEW WORLD ORDER needed in order to be alive in the future. YOU DID NOT HEAR THAT, DID YOU? You saw a monument erected in Georgia spelling out the wants and desires of this NEW WORLD ORDER on a Guide Stone and you never went there to read what THEY WROTE.  Well, I fear it is here, knocking at my door and I must look them in the eye and do nothing. Just one voice is not enough.

I am tired of being the voice that no one hears. I speak no more on this. This will be the hardest thing I will do. I am going to shut up and let you all speak. No one reads this post except perhaps just a small handful of people. Go and step up.  Speak up.  Shout. Raise your hands into the air and wave. Make a mighty noise unto the Lord....before your new lord is fully in power. That new lord is the almighty dollar being held in the fist of a banker, robbing you of everything you once had. ... your future, your home, your wealth, your comfort, your pursuit of happiness, your freedom, your liberty, your dignity as a human.

Pass it on.

Sunday is a day that will have a voice heard around the World. It will come out of the desert of Arabia. It will be chaotic. It will be frightening as it well should be. It will be a voice shouting in anger against one thing that will lead to the most Earth shaking Change any of us has ever experienced in our lives. I am 58 and I am absolutely sure that I will know that day well as I have not known such a day in a very long time. It will be prolonged. It will be awakening. It will be unavoidable. What happens after that fateful Sunday will be up to you and I. Remember, it is not too late to say ENOUGH. You better be on the phone on Monday to your Senator and Representative. You better be pulling your support of the real criminals from their grasp.

Ok, that is all I can say. You all owe me twenty four cents.

Mark Wills "Looking For America" official music video

 

This is a good one! But, it is a message delivered too late. It is a message give to us in this Post Industrial Age of America. It is just not that way any longer. If you were a factory man or woman, well, it is gone. I remember those days in the past when you would see these hard working men and women. My Dad was one of them. His sweat and labor helped build this Nation. He returned from World War II and went to work to build something better for his kids (that was me and my three brothers). If he were alive today.... well, he might go kick some ass and straighten out this mess we are in. He was honest and had common sense. He was a good role model. I have tried my best to be like him but I think I am too old to go kick any ass. That will have to be for you young folks.

Civics 101: Say What?

I like to be timely. I like to be current. I like to know the latest. So, I thought I would create a test that might spur you all to be current. Recently, I was listening to part of a radio interview with Donald Rumsfeld, a former Cabinet Member of the George W. Bush administration. He was on the radio drumming up interest in his new book. During the course of the interview, he was asked a simple question regarding a major historical event that happened while he was in the power seat....the 9/11 Attack on New York and Washington DC.  The question was about his knowledge of the collapse of Building 7 during the World Trade Center attack. As you may remember, both towers of the famous Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were hit by airplanes and eventually collapsed. That day, one other building in that complex collapsed also....Building 7. It was not hit by a plane. It did have some fires, but none that were threatening the building. This building was facing nothing more, other than some major repairs needed on some floors. Yet, that building collapsed live on television and looked very much like a planned demolition. Ok, besides the Pentagon being hit, the collapse of 3 buildings in New York should have been a major enough event to trigger a memory in Donald's mind, since he was part of the administration being attacked that fateful day. Anyway, he was asked about his thoughts on the building collapsing and his answer was basically, "What are you speaking about? I am not familiar with that building...I don't know what Building 7 is."

So, at that point in the interview, I realized that some folks have a faulty knowledge base and they need to update their informations. I thought it would be nice for us all to do a little learning, and what better way to start the learning than to ask a few questions and see if you and I all know the answers.

Take Me Back....Please.

It is a day of house work for me today. I got up early and made coffee and began my morning chores of sitting on the couch with the dog curled up next to me, keeping her warm and sipping my morning beverage. That was difficult. Next came the real work of the day. I gathered up all the trash from the bins and cans and bagged it all and sent it to the outdoor receptacle via my Wife, who was headed out to the
Studio. Next was the really important job of washing up all the dishes from breakfast and making me something other than Grapenuts with bananas. I decided on curry rice with steamed eggplant and Italian herbs and spices. Yum! About the time I sat down to eat and listen to a discussion of galactic energy bursts which might effect us, I heard a rap on the front door and so I got up and went to investigate. It was my neighbor, Steve. He had a disc he burned for me of music off an album he had purchased on eBay. It was Cricklewood Green by Ten Years After. I happen to love Ten Years After. I remember their performance at Woodstock. It was energizing back then and still is today. Every time I hear that great old Rock music, I think of the proverbial "Good Times" of my youth. I guess I remember only the Good Times and forget the Bad Times. Isn't that the way it should be?

Anyway, as I sat and listened to the CD play, I realized that I had not heard these songs before and I did not know the titles. I quickly grabbed my iPhone and pulled up the App called Shazam. What a great marketing tool that little App is. It listens, identifies, and allows you to purchase the song on iTunes if you want. I use it often to identify songs and the performers and the album it is off of. There it was, Cricklewood Green. It was difficult at times to find those songs. It always happens that about the time the song is about to start and Shazam is listening, my old dog barks a couple of verses of her own. That always throws the identification off. I guess Ten Years After never had a lead singer, who was an old Terrier/Wiener Dog mix, recording on their albums.

Those were the good old days. Man, what I wouldn't give to have those days back. No responsibility was required of me other than making good grades at school and delivering prescriptions to little old ladies from our local Pharmacy. I did manage to also work as a Surveyor's helper, mapping out boundaries of large ranches and farms in our County and surrounding counties. Oh, and occasionally, I had to mow a lawn or two here and there. Oh, I do remember I was just becoming interested in girls. I did date a bit, but not too much. I had college coming up soon and I knew I would be tied up with higher education for the next five years as I pursued a career in Pharmacy. Yes, those were the Good Old Days.

Gosh, I guess everyone has a period in life that you think back on as the Good Old Days. Having grown up in Texas, my idea of Good times might be different than yours. Oh, I had friends that were a bit wild and crazy in their own right. I was a bit timid and tame compared to some. My concept of fun usually involved the outdoors. I fished and hunted and hiked and explored the great outdoors as much as I could. I loved archeology and so I did my own minuscule research and exploration when I could. We had plenty of evidence of Indian settlement all around my hometown. After a rain, you could head out to Bend Texas and walk the peanut fields and look for arrowheads and ax heads in the sand. They got plowed up and brought to the surface and the rain uncovered them. What a gift they were to find. I also loved fossils. I grew up at the bottom of an ancient shallow inland sea which had covered Texas. You could find all sorts of things in the limestone and rock deposited there. I knew several good fossil hunting spots where you could climb up an embankment and literally walk through time. The oldest stuff was always on the bottom and the new stuff on the top. When the urge came to go fishing, I had lots of places to choose from. My favorite was Sulfur Creek. I could walk there whenever I wanted to get away and explore some really wild places. When I was a kid, I spent hours on the banks of that creek. I knew every trail and rabbit run from the water plant to the last farm that would allow kids to fish. I knew all the owners of the land adjacent to the water. I knew all the depressions and holes and cool spots to rest. I knew all the old fencelines that had barbed wire hidden in the tall Johnson grass. I knew where to find cane or long hollow stemmed grass stalks or wild mint or water plants where the fish hid... I knew that creek like the back of my hand. I knew when to duck and hide when the golfers rolled up on the other side of the creek. I knew just the right moment to yell, from cover, "Fore", just as they were mid swing. Whack.......the ball might end up in the tall grass on the my side of the creek for me to find later. Oh, that was mean. I will have to pay for that sin later at Judgement. Well, how could you fault me? I learned that from my Dad. He would take me with him in the Summer to patrol power line right-of-ways in Llano county. Part of the power line ran adjacent to a large golf course. He and I would be zipping along, headed to a substation and if he saw someone about to make a swing, he would grab the microphone on his radio and put it on P.A. mode and yell...."Fore" as we headed over the next hill. I bet Inks Lake is full of golf balls lost due to our little prank.

My best friend back in those days was Ed Jackson. He and I went everywhere together. He was my fishing and hunting buddy. I have to admit, he was a better sportsman than I was. He could catch a fish out of a hole quicker than you could cast a fleafly. He was a better shot than I was with the shotgun. He was taller and stronger and more intelligent than I. But, that did not matter, I enjoyed his friendship and always tried to be a little better because of him. Perhaps that was not a part of the Good Old Days. I did not like the competition and comparison, but it happened none-the-less. He was the first to get a car. It was a hand me down from his brother, but it was wheels. That is how we got to explore the Colorado river at Bend, Texas. It was about 20 miles out to the river and so when we became mobil, our territory expanded greatly. We could be found anywhere in a 40 mile radius of Lampasas. The world ours to conquer and we had no fear of doing so.

And, a big part of life back then was music. We had our tunes which went along with us everywhere. If it was not the radio playing great old songs, it was our 8 track tape player. Man, we had it made. I remember that I owned a RCA 8 track tape player and a sound operated light show. Groovy. You could put a song on and turn on the light box and it would go nuts flashing to the beat of the music with different color lights. Wow Man! I mean that was far out. The music and the writing and the dreaming were a big part of my life. I would write at night and then put on a stack of records on the record player and put my old telephone headphones on and turn out the lights and dream of far away places and interesting people. Those were the Good Old Days. I had dreams of a world that shared the treasures of knowledge and art and music and history with everyone. No danger. No hatred. No lack of brotherhood. You and I were equal. You and I were the new generation, not so interested in blowing each other up as our elders. Those old wars were their wars. With Viet Nam behind us, it was time to convert the world into a better place. The Peace Corp was a novel idea, sending out goodwill ambassadors to the world. We wanted nothing in return except friendship and betterment of all mankind....right? I think I might have been a little too sheltered in the reality of the world...but it was possible as was anything else in those days. I had dreams. I had good dreams....and hopes....Man, those were the Good Old Days.

Whitley's Journal | Food crisis could hit this spring and summer. | unknowncountry

I happened across this article while eating tonight and immediately remembered that this is not the only like article I had read today. What is up? You see, if something is said enough, people begin to believe it. Yes, I am sure we are facing some food situations around the world because of this darned drought. We are still in a drought situation right here in Texas despite the fact that we just got some rain. What we need is prolonged rain to refill the lakes and rivers and streams and the aquifer. We are not the only folks in this situation. Australia is going through a tough time right now with droughts and bad weather and water problems and money problems. You see, the same invisible hands taking down our economy is doing the same down under. So, what does that have to do with the weather? Nothing, except that "they" may be tampering with that too.

You know, things are a bit strange in our world. The Germans indicated not too long ago that they lost "another" satellite to Space Weather conditions. It got fried by a cosmic blast due to the reduction of the Earth's protective magnetic field. The possible approaching Pole Shift is going to mess up our weather and food production terribly. We may get some real doozies of a storm front all around the world when that shift occurs. I have not checked lately, but magnetic North is still shifting towards Russia. One day it is going to get up and go and I mean go for a real walk around the globe.

So, still what does all this have to do with China buying up all the wheat in the world? Well, that is a couple of dots I guess the experts will have to connect. They have the money and they have plenty of mouths to feed. That is going to be interesting to see exactly what that will do to the rest of the world. I went out and got me some crackers and quinoa and triskets to go along with my pinto beans and rice. I am set for the weekend. How about you?

Heads Up. It has Started.

Oil has jumped to over $101 per barrel. Gadaffi is trying to bomb his oil infrastructure. Saudi Arabia has supplied tanks to Bahrain to put down riots. And the date to watch is March 11th for a major event to happen. The big push is going to happen in the next two weeks. Be prepared.

I have been talking to myself lately. I picked up that habit when I worked nights and was by myself for about 8 hours. Actually, you might just think of it as thinking out loud. Well, it actually is just thinking. I review ideas, events, bits and pieces of knowledge in my mind. It is like taking notes and then reading them back in order to voice what I have learned. In so doing, I tend to see the mistakes and take to heart the success.

Tonight, the last Emperor of China had a lesson for me to listen to and learn. Even though I did not agree with his actions and ideas, I came away realizing that in the end, life is just an experience to be observed and digested. We all are born. We all live a life of one sort or another. We all die.  It is the life experience between the two milestones of birth and death that is interesting and important. Things change. We evolve and progress in our studies in life. We come to a big final, brilliant realization of what it all was about and then we pass on. Don't regret the lessons.

I told myself while I was in the shower tonight that I need to get away for a while. I need to turn off the radio. I need to turn off my phone. I need to shut down this computer and I need to go away and plant my toes in the dirt. I need to be me and just me for a while. The world will keep on going if I am not here for a few days. Things will happen. Life will go on. And, I hope to be unaware of it all except for the space and time I create around me for a few hours. I don't think I am going to take my Wife with me this time. I am going to go be by myself a day or so.

That being said, I want to go create something fun. I want to dig a hole. I want to carve a stone. I want to weld a couple of pieces of steel together. I want to hammer a nail. I want to read a good book. I want to make a meal just for myself and sit down and enjoy it. I want to think. I want to remember. I want to be deeper in Love with Angela. I am so deeply in Love with her now, it is almost frightening. You see it all is part of a tapestry I want to weave, thread by thread. I want to go away for a day and let her create another wonderful piece of art. You should see the piece of pottery she just made. Pinch pot bowl with the most remarkable pink and orange color you can imagine. Pink! I suggested teal next. I bet she can do it too. I can bring about that bowl if I go away. So, I shall.

So, what else am I escaping? The facts above and more. We have troops on the ground in Libya. The World Court has a warrant out for the arrest of George W. Bush, Carl Rove and several more. The New Moon is upon us.  The Navy is gearing up for action in the Middle East. Arkansas is experiencing several earthquakes and one just killed some folks in New Zealand. The flu is epidemic in Austin and Lockhart. It was 80 degrees F today. I have a toilet sitting in a storage building in Moulton that needs to be installed. I know there are 3 wasps in my upstairs bedroom/office at Rosebud Cottage and I am not there to get rid of them. Flower seed needs to be planted for Spring. I have a need to do some continuing education. And, I still have not been able to get off the Wheel of Life/Karma. I must be dense.

Spring Fever is here and I have it bad.

Things are Getting Hairy Out There

I have been told this is a very Hairy girl...

I had the opportunity to watch a classic movie tonight which came in the mail. I heard a radio broadcast the other day talking about this movie. Out of the middle of the movie, an excerpt had been sliced and the audio played on this radio program. Many of you have seen the movie. Most of you have heard the real kicker of a line from the script of the movie...."I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."

Howard Beale blurted that out on the Network.

As I washed dishes after the movie, it came to me that what they had said on the radio was completely correct and yet there was something missing. Yes, this world is not really a collections of Nations. Yes, the big Corporations run everything. Yes, there are shady deals and understandings from around the world that can be looked at as the primal forces of nature as the Corporate moguls say. Yes, it is really not a struggle for money any more but a struggle for POWER. .....  Then, it hit me. I have been hearing all the reports from every possible angle. This newscast and that newspaper report...this television commentary and that radio show... political talk and geo-political talk and the Illuminati and the Bilderbergers and the power Elite of the world.... every possible angle and they all are basically spreading the same message.... FEAR.

Fear. We are afraid of death. We are afraid of other cultures. We are afraid of a bunch of terrorists. We are afraid of the Transportation Safety Administration putting their hands down our pants looking for bombs we do not have. We are afraid of the body scanners causing DNA damage and cancer. We are afraid of a collapsing economy. We are afraid of a One World Government. We are afraid .... We fear ....

Yet, behind every angle and every voice out there is Money. Money spent and Money earned. Money hoarded and Money wasted. Money that does not exist in reality. And, all that Money represents Power.

And, behind the Power are humans. And those humans rely on Fear to gain and hold their Power.

"We have nothing to Fear, but Fear itself...." I remember those words too.  Perhaps it was a Globalist who said those words, but, they still ring true today. Also, I think there are other words you and I need to be hearing. I am a human... I have feelings and wants and needs like all humans. I am sane. I am just like every other human on the face of this Earth. We all have wants and needs and fears. But, we also have something else in common. We all are brothers and sisters here on this very small planet. One voice. One heart. One desire to live as humans. We are mad as Hell, and we are not going to take it any longer. Stand up right now. Stand up and shout that until everyone on this planet hears it and understands it and yells it too. Then, sit down, take a deep breath and go about living. Ignore the man behind the curtain pulling our strings. The first thing you must do is get mad and then put them out of your mind. Who are them? Them are the elite of the world. Them are the evil of the world. Them are those we do not know or understand why they want to flaunt their ill gotten Power over us. We just want to live as humans.

I read a wonderful little sentence from a very informative book the other day. The author stated that believers were more like to attack and kill others over differences in belief than mystics and gnostics. Mystics and gnostics would embrace the differences and try to learn those differences. Believers were too intolerant. Is it possible to be Human, A Believer and A Gnostic at once. I think so. All I am saying is give Peace a chance. I believe a human said that not so many years ago.  He had real Power. That is what frightened the other group struggling in the dark recesses of the World to gain that evil Power over us all. 

Lets reach out to others. Lets try to be humans. 

By the way, gasoline went from $3.13 a gallon to $3.25 yesterday. I predict the next step up will be $3.29 to 3.35 a gallon by the end of next week. They are laughing at work about my predictions. So far I have been right every time. Watch the Middle East. When things get nasty in Saudi Arabia, the price is headed through the roof. Insanity! Pure Insanity! And, all over controlling the World's economy and the Power that brings. Money. Power. Fear.  Think about what I said. If you read this post and think I am not too far off the mark, send it along to a friend.  Remember, One Voice to say No...Enough.
