Bleeding $$!!

Apparently the economy is brilliant, according to the Trump-Train.

Well, I believe that, believe it or not.  It’s elementary to me by looking at our own expenditures of the Crazy-Train Spring 2019.

Because health care costs are ridiculous:

5761576A-2E0D-44CD-A544-797B69C54E8C

$3,700 for emergency room visit, 5 stitches to Handy Hubby’s hand.  His first on-the-homestead accident/injury. Ridiculous health care costs thanks to insane policies of multiple administrations. Thanks, Corporatocracy!  Great job at outrageous cost.

$4,000 new roof, thanks to increased weather modification/manipulation in our area, Geoengineering being ramped up thanks to widespread approval by the Trump-train.

2221FA17-3353-4795-937A-4302363853D8

$200 and counting for acupuncture treatments thanks to electricity surge on new electric meter that fried my shoulder something awful over 6 months ago.  The garden is neglected, the household, too, my bad. The Trump-train loves 5G tech, bring it on! Yay!

4 days lost paid work for Handy Hubby, who had to take vacation time to normalize the homestead after manufactured ‘tornado’ dropped at least 2 dozen mature trees on our property, a half-dozen right around our house.  Oh, but we are so blessed, none hit me or the house or the critters.  Silver lining, brilliant!

Two weeks before that was baseball-sized hail, that meant $300 on a new windshield, that had just been replaced.

AAD0E46E-CB68-490D-9527-378E9ED45487

And all kinds of folks and communities around our area of East Texas are spending loads of $$ on damages of their own.  Markets are thriving!  Thank you, sir, may we have another?!  Houston is promising to be a well-spring of endless catastrophe revenues, brilliant. I bet Trump did that!  Or, fairies?

That’s including exciting and constant weather whiplash all year, like a weather rollercoaster at Disney Land, resulting in no pear crop this year and a complete lost effort with many other crops in the garden that go straight to seed from the constant fluctuating temperatures. Hurray!

Common sense alert: no crops thrive in weather whiplash! (Don’t rain on my parade, bitch!)

 

We can no longer afford the delusions of this economy.  We are downsizing. Most of our meager holdings will meet freezer camp, unfortunately, as we come to grips with survival mode.

Let’s all enjoy our eternal non-inflation in the fantasmagorical Trump economy!

They’re All On The Same Team — Dispatches from the Asylum

 

Love finding a fellow blogger in the same mood as me at the moment, makes me feel less lonely.

(Editor’s note: The following is just an opinion piece. I’m getting too old to give a care about linking to every thought, opinion. fact. etc., I might present in these opinion pieces…research on your own – it’s there to be found if you care.)

When the Going Gets Tough

 

We have all kinds of sayings to ward off all kinds of issues, mostly with the intention of bypassing, minimizing, and moving on.  Shit happens, right?  Don’t let the bastards get ya down, eh?  There’s always a silver lining.  Don’t sweat the small stuff. The sun will come out tomorrow.  Look at the bright side.  Don’t cry over spilled milk.  Buck up, buttercup!

The falling trees missed the roses, and the deck and house, and all the critters, and me, PRAISE BE!

I know, I know, I’ve heard it all and I’ve probably said half of it myself.   Really though, when someone’s truly feeling down, no one wants to hear another ‘pick yourself up by your bootstraps’ slogan.  A friend to cry in your tea or beer with would be loads more helpful, but sometimes that doesn’t help either.

Thanks to more experienced friends at Melody Acres Ranch the overturned nuc has been righted and it’s doing just swell.

I count my blessings, really, I do.  I’m very good at that.

It’s just that, sometimes, nothing helps, at least not right away.  Sometimes there’s a ‘something’s gotta give’ feeling that lodges itself for a while after a big, bad event, even if everything mostly turning out fine in the end.

The triumphs still feel too short-lived and the setbacks too many.

I remember to remember my favorite things, but the joy in them seems less renewing. This in itself is solemnifying.

Visitors are welcome, yet distracting.

I know nature is resilient and life goes on.  The very morning after the ‘tornado,’ as I was assessing the damages, the birds were chirping, the critters begging for their meals, and Handy Hubby headed back home from work out-of-state to get us back into gear.

Still, despite my usual mood-shifting tricks, my gears still feel a bit stuck.

The snake getting fat on our eggs in the coop, a rabbit devouring the garden.

Oh, just let them be, I think, which is not really like me.

Sometimes that’s just the way it is.
And, this too shall pass.

Aunt Bee: Of course she’s going to be paranoid about the weather, she’s been through 3 huge weather disasters!

Uncle Norm: They do just seem to follow her, don’t they, weird, huh.

Cousin Donna: She’s obsessed with the weather, so she attracts weather chaos to her, that happens, scientific fact.

Cousin David: Nonsense, what kind of thing to say is that, if she were dead now that be her fault then too with that brand of pseudo-logic?

Sister Susie: She truly believes it’s all being controlled, for real!  It could be post-traumatic stress.

Brother Tom: She thinks they are specifically targeting people and places!  It’s insane!

Mother: So does she think she’s being targeted?  This is truly insane.

Sister Susie: No Mom, not her personally, ALL of us.

Mother:  All of us?  I don’t understand.  What does that mean?

Sister Susie:  She thinks we are at war, Mom, right under our noses and without our awareness.

Mother:  Oh my, that must be post-traumatic stress.

Weeping Mary: A Tale of Deceit

The most famous place in East Texas to be demolished in the spring of weather chaos in our region is Caddo Mounds, also known as the George C. Davis site, a state historic site, at the intersection of Texas Highway 21 and U.S Route 69.  Said to be Native American burial, ceremonial and residential mounds of the Caddoean Mississippi culture, it is a major archaeological discovery with what was once a popular museum and ‘living history’ gathering place for community and well beyond.

The date was 4/13/2019 during a Caddo cultural festival in the middle of the afternoon.  There was one death and many injured taken to hospital by helicopter and bus.

The location is not Alto, as all sources report, it is Weeping Mary, population fewer than 50 people.  The original story of the town’s founding is one of deceit, hardly uncommon, and I expect at play in this more recent sad story somewhere as well.

It goes the town was founded by freedmen after the Civil War.  It ended up in the hands of a former slave named Mary, who needed to sell but did not want to sell to a white man.  So the white man hired a black man to buy it for him, and when Mary discovered this she was left eternally weeping.

Weather Disasters (Take III)

Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, August 2005.

Hurricane Ike, Galveston, September 2008

“Tornado”? Unnamed, undocumented by local news, Rural East Texas April 2019
Another ‘severe storm’ expected tonight.  A month of ‘tornadoes’ through our region, which we chose precisely because it was: ‘North of hurricane zone and south of tornado alley’.  Not anymore.

I’m still at a loss for words. But don’t worry, not for long.  Let’s let the photos speak for themselves, for now.  East Texas is being weather bombed, while the local news sugar coats and bypasses. Consider me PISSED OFF.

No deaths, but considerable fear, chaos, lies and destruction.  Just what the perfect non-lethal globalist warfare mongers strive for the most.

Crazy Weather: Natural or Man-made?

 

Big storms here in East Texas this weekend, so much for our BBQ plans!

Hail!  Mother Nature’s bombs or manufactured weather warfare?

It is mind-boggling to me that ‘climate change’ is such a contentious social/science/news issue keeping individuals polarized with mostly excessively emotional arguments and twisted statistics that further exacerbate the continued black and white thinking.  We are being played!

”You can’t have an honest discussion about the climate without discussing Geoengineering.”  Dane Wigington https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org

Weather modification and weather warfare are facts and there are global industries catering to those in want of these services.  It’s been facts for over 70 years.  Few folks alive today know truly natural weather.

Weather Modification Corporations, Universities, and Derivative Traders

These organizations may not “control” the weather yet, but they sure are trying hard, and experimenting in your skies daily.

Is there a rainbow at the end of this scary story?

I think that’s most likely a ‘number’s game’.  How many will realize modern warfare is not what you were taught by TV?  How many will come to recognize the ‘psychopaths next door’?  What will the masses do to protect themselves, or even, to fight back?

 

A Spring Stroll

Little is finer than a country meandering to wake your spring wellspring!

Playing in the creek is still GOOD TIMES around here!

And to celebrate spring you just might have delicious, unadulterated, natural spring water closer than you think.

The ‘flare’ is part of the trunk, not the root, and should be exposed to air, which is a very common modern myth, according to Malcolm Beck.  The old adage rings true it seems: “Plant too low, it won’t grow, plant to high, it won’t die.”

I learn so much everyday just by traveling in tandem from nature to cyberspace! What miraculous times we have here to explore!

Spring foraging is lovely here, just made a huge batch of chickweed chimi-churri, YUM!
