You Never Know What Awaits......
On the ride home tonight I made a quick detour into the local Supermarket
to grab some stuff for dinner. I hate shopping and crowds but I do my best to
get through it. I made the rounds and had maybe 8-10 items
in the "little kid" cargo area. It was busy as I approached the checkout lines.
The three that were open had three patrons each.
I scanned the check out belts and loaded carts in front of me
to quickly assess which line would move faster, made my choice,
and took my six foot distancing spot out in the cross aisle.
As luck would have it, they had to change the register drawer on patron
one. So I stood and fucked around on my phone.

Minimizing The Storm>? The signs of such a movement are emerging.

The Way Out
Here are two questions pertinent to our times: (1) How would you reduce the greatest free republic in history to despotism in a short time? and (2) How would you stop that from happening? The answer to the first question has been provided in these last two disastrous years. The answer to the second has begun to emerge in recent months. Both are worthy of study.
The Ear Splitting Silence....
The Calm Before The Storm...
Having modern technology makes it easy for us to know when storms are coming
and what the potential expectation is going to be.
Hyped by the media, and having cute names, doesn't
change the fact that there is a fore warning.
Our ancestors, with out technology, were much more in tune with nature and
could sense "something" coming. The air is different, the sound is different, there is a
general sense foreboding.
When a big snow storm is forecast you can "feel it".
Walking outside, the overcast sky is leaden, the dark color of wet concrete. Pause, stand still,
and allow oneself to slowly mesh with the surroundings. There is no sound.
You strain to hear a bird in the trees. You listen for a squirrel rustling in the leaves.
There is no sound. It's calm, too calm.
Sure there is the distant sound of vehicles on nearby roads or a train far in the distance,
their sounds, carrying through the deathly still air, can't over power the silence.
You can "feel" when the storm is coming.
As you stand outside in the deafening nothingness you can see a few stray flakes
meandering down from above.
Placing your hand out, with palm up, you may be able to capture one of
these "messengers" of the impending storm. It will rest for a moment, then melt away.
I think we have had many of these "messengers" landing.

I Have Woken Up In The PNW For The Past Week or So....
Overcast, grey skies, heavy fog. Wash, rinse, repeat.... I'm told that's what the PNW
is always experiencing.
I'm waiting for a Mooch Obama sighting....
Looks like we get a break here in the Northeast on Tuesday:
