Friday the 13th…Part October

 - Friday the 13th, tomorrow a full eclipse, half the world on fire the other half starting to smolder a bit.  Yee haw.

- I honestly don’t know if the societal chaos we are seeing is being orchestrated somehow or if people just do insanely stupid stuff because they can.

- Experts are trying to authenticate a video showing what is being taunted as being Big Foot, taken in Colorado.  Another video taken in May shows a formation of 6 UFOs flying in a loose formation, not reflections of just 1 as the other 5 seemed to rotate and make movements independently of each other.  I’m thinking the UFOs dropped Bigfoot off as to continue to stir up trouble.

- When I was a kid, a belch was not considered worthwhile unless it created a breeze, rattled windows, and registered on the Richter scale somewhere. My parents took me to an area in Canyon Lake owned by the big church they attended one July 4. A bunch of us kids spent most of the day playing football, etc. We were forced to take a break sometime early afternoon. The only drinks left were beer on tap (not good for kids at the time) and Dr Peppers that had not been cooled since the Eisenhower administration. I was real thirsty, and chugged 2 cans of the evil stuff, even though I hated it. About that time the mother of all burps made its way up, lasting several seconds and loud enough that it echoed in the canyon. Ladies were appalled, adult men quietly nodded ‘atta boy’, and preadolescent boys applauded with thunderous waves of awe. I’m told that belch can still be heard echoing in the hills, 60 yrs later.

- Is it just my perception or has news of Israeli retaliation been scarce, or has the slaughter of 1100 civilians just lost its newsworthy luster?

- Will anyone…ever…be held accountable for the Russia hoaxes, which were the impetus to endless lawsuits by socialists? Hell no. That right there is part of the global problem: if our government can lie, cheat, and scam it’s citizens without recourse to cripple our form of government  then the US is nothing more than a clown show cash cow. Perhaps we might pay closer attention to our own internal war pretty quick.

- Very seldom does an alarm clock wake me up anymore.  It’s typically a bladder saying “I WILL empty, it’s up to you where,”  serious heartburn, or one of Deb’s cats doing a 2 step on me. When an alarm is used, it generally takes more than 30 seconds before I realize what is going on.

- Seen: people don’t want to be part of the process…they just want to be part of the outcome.

- Read several things about how disarming Hamas is expensive, but necessary.  Ok, but as anyone with an average intellect *should* be able to show that it don’t stop with Hamas…you’d still have Al Qaeda, Taliban, extremist shitheads in Iran, all he African offshoots.  Then you’d still have to deal with Mexican and South American cartels, militant sects of groups like black lives whatever, inner city gangs, Antifa, and the like. 

My point is modern societies have basically rendered self defense moot.  Cries of racism, transphobia, micro aggressions, all this idiocy basically punish people for defending themselves. I have no idea how to process this much general animosity, much less how to address it and stop it.  The only thing I can think of at the moment is “don’t want no shit, don’t start no shit…because I’ll damn sure finish it.”
