I Admit, I've Been Hiding...

Well, at least I've been away from the blog for a couple of months. My Bad! I come here for no other reason but to simply release some pent up tension. Okay... maybe to get a dig in at the libs and such too.

Either way, I've been trying to juggle a recent move, unpacking included. There's copious amounts of stuff to unpack and less space than before to put it in. It seems that when one goes through life one tends to accumulate "stuff" or "wealth" as my father used to call it. I find myself struggling to suggest that much of the "stuff" I've unpacked isn't "wealth" let alone usable for anything other than scrap iron or ground fill. Either way I'm almost unpacked and am in the process of settling in.

I had to do the move thing. I had to sell the house and move from that once sparsely populated "neighborhood" turned cramped development and return to a somewhat more laid back lifestyle with some pleasant, unfettered breathing room between me and my "neighbors". Things just weren't going all that well in that cramped neighborhood. I'm not a "homeowner's association" type of guy who will allow folks I don't even know tell me where, when and how I need to put or store my trash cans. I'm also not inclined to attend meetings to discuss why our HOA dues keep increasing each year while the HOA service continues to decrease. It's never ceased to amaze me how guv'ment finds the cracks in humanity, in life to seep through and contaminate a once fine environment with their Machiavellian ideas. Government is the ultimate, all consuming slime mold of humanity. Give them an inch and they'll eventually consume you, if you let them. Fortunately, I moved myself as their target. I'm no longer a part of that infestation, no longer their crop to consume.

Once we got somewhat settled (i.e. trucks unloaded and sorting through boxes at the "new" place) I took it upon myself to dig the trench for the Cat 6 and the Video Cable from the house to an unattached shop. It's up and running, I'm up and running and all things considered, LIFE's GOOD! Again...

...except for the State, National and Global politics. That crap's still alive and festering.

But now that thing's are starting to settle down on the "home front" I'm going to get around to the old blogging, brass collecting, reloading, plinking, placering life I was trying to stay on top of in that crowded suburbia of humanity known as a "neighborhood". I left some good neighbors behind but that's on them. They shared their angst with me as much as I shared mine with them. I remedied our problem.

Now, it's time to get back into the whole bass-ackwards politico scene. I did have to include a disclaimer re: comments to this blog because I had to remove a few over the past couple of weeks. There's no need for threats of violence on me or my family nor do I have any desire to "meet" anyone somewhere. We'll just leave things as they are. I'm here, I'm not going anywhere unless Google shuts me out like Yahell and Farcebook did over the years.

Anyways, I'm going to start throwing stuff on here again for craps, giggles and simply to share.

Enjoy!

Climate Change! Yea Baybee!!!

Okay, so as long as I'm here I thought I'd make a simple post about climate change.

Being as we've been experiencing catastrophic type 6, errr type 5, errr type 4, errr type 3, no 2, no 1, no, I mean tropical storms... okay maybe windstorms... alright then, how about rain storms kinda threatening the world but at one time really, really, really, really threatening our world somewhere, somehow undetected but reported well after the fact as facts that weren't and aren't substantiated with, well... facts.

...and as long as this is going to be the 400th post I thought I'd share a piece from Right Wing News authored by William Teach that shared and tapped into a piece authored by Bill McKibben. It's simply a fun read about Climate Change... or maybe no climate change. Who knows.

It's a bit catering to those who pray daily for our climate to cook us and the earth to implode just so they can prove their point... that climate is changing and we did it to ourselves.

Yup!

In the end I'm pretty sure my old man had it right. Climate changes four times a year. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. It's pretty evident.

It has changed, is changing as it always has and it will continue to change. Yawn...

Will the last one out please shut off the lights and close the door. Don't want the bugs and the vermin to get in.

Giddoverit.

IMHO
