Just a thought on the war in the Ukraine.

Idiotcracy a way of life

 The 2020s aka The Crazy Years on the road to Idiotcracy.  

Yep the Truth close the borders or remember October 7 2023 in Israel? Who knows who and what is coming over those borders both North and South? Nothing we need and I'm reminded of that old saying "something wicked this way comes".  A few thousand really nasty people is the most likely end result. 
 

New Year 2024 and same old problems

Might start posting again. Lot of changes since I last posted on this blog. Our civilization is insane. I fear WWIII and the Nuclear options it may deliver. True insanity of our leaders and "theirs" the Commie ones. Our leaders right now cannot be trusted they care ZIP for us, and build the best bunkers in the world for themselves,  since they and there ilk must survive. Sure why not ? or maybe just maybe we will again at some point become enlightened. End the endless wars and settle and explore our Solar System. The only way to go forward is to end the silly tribalism and actually accept for every human a Bill of Rights just like the USA original. It did happen once so it is possible, you just have to make it so. Happy New Year everyone.

3rd time 's the charm

 Remember when you got a vaccination back in the good old days and that was that. You didn't need back up shots and didn't get the disease either. Well guess that was a dream or maybe the Science is not right yet?

Dumbass

 Why we can't just get along!

Mother's Day was spent with my daughter this year. My mother passed away two years ago as did my wife's mother so a visit to the North country of Arizona was in order for the weekend. My daughter works in Showlow Az hospital and had most of the weekend off. Sunday we left to go up in the Apache Sitgreaves National park up near Alpine Az we took trail 177 heading West and decided to check out Carino Lake ~64 acre lake with fishing "trout" and some boating at 9,000 ft elevation. There were only two groups camping at the lake and maybe 4 or 5 other camping sites we saw as we took the back road back to Vernon and then to Showlow, Az . We saw some elk on the trip back but it took about 20 seconds for me to get my camera ready "cold fingers" so I didn't get any pictures of the wildlife. We had a Saburu suv with all wheel drive which was fine for that main trail but be aware that if you decide to take some side trails they are not well maintained and a serious off road vehicle would be required. The wife and I did stop at two casinos one in Pinetop the Apache White Mountain and the other down in Payson on the way home. My wife lost it all and I was up $10 at Pinetop and another $110 in Payson so yep we balanced out again. The casino were open with very strict mask and shields around the one arm bandits. Mask were mandatory in Payson with just a few machines with side shields. One thing I noticed is for the most part Northern Arizona seems to be clear of covid problems for the most part. My other daughter did visit my granddaughters Great grandmother in Pine , Az and strict protocol was in order due to her advanced age. No campfires are allowed in any of the parks in Arizona due to forest fires since the vegetation is very dry.
