Bread & Circuses

Well, the US financial markets are in deep trouble, but the majority of Americans are blindly allowing themselves to be anesthetized by entertainment. Why save money for the lack of work to come, when you can mindlessly entertain yourself, spending money you really don't have, on hollywood.

This country is rapidly going downhill, and will soon be taken over by some other country soon.

The cycle continues.

The worst is yet to come

Finances are looking bad on Wall street. But how does that effect the small American? We are looking at a period of inflation, sooner or later, and the collapse of the US as we know it.

The only way to even hope to make it thru is to be completely debt free, and just live frugally.

Investing in lead might be a good idea too. [along with powder]

Hurrican Ike Hits Houston

Well, Galveston Island is getting hit pretty hard. Turns out that thousands of residents did not obey the mandatory evacuation order t leave, and now that the storm surge is swallowing up everything, many are calling for help. But it is too late. The authorities are not getting anyone.

I can understand the reluctance to leave, especially aftyer the fiasco of the Rita evacuation 3 years ago. But I can also say I don't have much sympathy for them when it gets too difficult. In some stories, all those interviewed were getting their cases of beer, and getting drunk. What foolishness people!

Sad thing is that these people are not smart, let alone wise, they are ill prepared to do anything, and have no tools or equipment to get out or do anything.

Too late What were the thousands who ignored orders to flee from Ike's near-certain destruction thinking? It should have had the end title changed to .... what were they DRINKING! That is the foolishness of alcohol in our self centered society.

Back In Datil

Drove up to Datil on Wednesday, all 760+ miles in less than 11 hours. It is sure nice being able to go 80MPH on I -10for about half of the way

So nice to be back in the cool dry air of the mountains. I do miss this time of the year in New Mexico. Just a tinge o fsadness about leaving this place, but it is what the Lord has led me to do, go back to TX.

There has been a lot of rain this summer, and the grass is tall and green, very beautiful. The pinon pines are full of fat sappy pine cones. There should be a bumper crop of pine nuts this fall!.

Alas, The house is still full of stuff, no one has taken it away so that I could claim my insurance and not have to take the time to sell it, Ha.
