rather disconnected, lately rather normal
...all this political batshit being rattled around in all those empty lawyer/congresscritter suits (heads optional)... I read the stuff, put some of it in a can to comment about, can't come up with enough interest from me to fill a mouse nest. Scads of really good bloggers do. There's a couple of guys and a trio of gals that tend to live on this planet with observations that fit the circumstances but I'm a bit fussed they now do it for ad money. Bothersome. If I could write as well, maybe I'd do the same. I DO like the attitude of the few I kinda follow. They tend to be honest on top of being good writers.
My last week has been kinda like this except I didn't pull out in time. Had to do with picking off more than 40 ticks (lost count) Tuesday night and missing another dozen or so. Woke up Wednesday with them in my hair, beard, shorts, socks, armpits, & 'elsewhere', got to "enjoy" most of the days since by having a rather familiar delightful reaction. 53 years totally immune, come August, 2003, had the first bad reaction. Now I have sympathy for my friends that have avoided the bug-filled morasses I've so enjoyed all those previous years. THEY only itched. Living through another most-of-a-week alternating blanket-wrapped chills, sweats that soak everything, endless barfs with everything in the rapidly composting bod aching, sometimes all of those little annoyances at once, tends to dampen one's spirit a bit. Weren't very high to begin with. Didn't help it rained continually for 3 of those daze.
Today was kinda cool, first day w/o feeling bad vertigo and really needed to go into town for foodstuff for the critters. They prefer my cooking but at the quantity necessary for the rather large trio (OK, Abby's not that big yet but she eats twice as much as Cookie! ), I was running short of stove-top stuff. Besides, I acquire goodies for them from Spring until the first good freezes when the old wood burning cookstove gets to be a good idea, then retire my brew kettle to a winter of THE GOOD STUFF! Cannibal pot. Add stuff according to the critter cook-book, cool, then feed. Fat, sassy, sleek as otters (also totally spoiled). At one time I had 5 adult sheps and the dry feed was 666 x 5 pounds per year plus an estimated 1,500 pounds of homemade. Cheap to keep? They'll tend your infants, put up with almost infinite crap from kids (it's fun to watch!), keep your feet warm in the winter, munch what munches one's garden, then spend their spare time being your best friends. Far cheaper than living in wetback country w/o. I have no intention to add to the damage done prior. There are a couple of stories there, been informed NOT to post them. Thieving bastards. Rural areas now have homicide rates as bad as inner cities. I did a bit of checking on the DOJ stat site last year and found Lake City had a higher per capita homicide rate than Washington, DC. Not really surprizing considering the population base and main industry (welfare). Lots of millionaires. Lawyers of course. Got another few tales about a couple of those critters I knew quite well for many years. Fortunately my digestion has healed reasonably well. Personal "friends". Bloody monsters with hugh guilt problems. "How can we steal so much and get away with it?" Both are dead. One of them visited me twice a week in the lab, probably thinking rationality would rub off. Damn-near shot him one day. He threatened me with Chattahoochee. ...shoulda shot him then but my wife back then would have been upset. She liked him even if he never let anyone EVER meet his wife.
Well, went into the burg and elected to go to the flea market. Been quite a while but didn't expect much what with it being Mother's Day for those folk that have such to consider. Go read , nah forget it. His missive touched me, actually the combined one from yesterday AND today's touched me. Of course it isn't near the full story (could you write one and if you did, would YOU put it on a blog, even for money? I sure as hell wouldn't). I'll link it soon. Just not right now.
Digressive little critter, eh? ANYWAY, met 3 old friends there, 2 I'd kinda figured would not be returning to the 'souf. Instead of spending the half-hour I'd expected at the depopulated market, wound up spending well over 2 and would have camped there if circumstances would have allowed such. Yeah, it do get a bit lonely down in the swamp. I'm pretty used to it. Not near used enough to it to not enjoy the company of excellent folk! Mmmmmm!
Got my supplies, then went to Lowe's for pieces for the hydroponic expansion, one item (qty 4) wasn't on the list. Remembered it just before turning down the swamp road. Total price for the missed items under $2, time to go and return, >2 hours, fuel (driving the Ninamobile) ~ $2, probability of me doing it anytime soon, zero. I HATE driving into town. It's not even a bit entertaining. The only justification possible is a few items that have been on my grocery list for a couple of years and that's a few herbs and spices that can't be found other than the yuppie store that charges 3 prices but is usually just chock-full of eye candy. Lots of rich, fat, hideous lawyers in town married to SYT's that always shop there. Too bad my "hardbody" turned into a dawgbody a decade or two ago! Mmmmm! Old lawyers and old Florida real estate operators tend to have really good-lookin' honeys in their dotage. Aweful nice to look at! ;o)

Got a kick out of this little silly quiz, Which Horrible Affliction are you?. Mine fits.
Which Horrible Affliction are you?
A Rum and Monkey disease.
The tag links were left in. The second is kinda Twainish. I enjoyed it anyway.
This is news? 12398/KEV= Å. I thought everyone knew that.
Gamma Rays From Thunderstorms?
Maybe someday I'll set up a Tempest 4 Faraday shield and do a spectro of all the fun & games X + gamma folk in the lightning belt of the world get! Much fun when mega-amps and mega-volts whack into all sorts of stuff! The effect of the direct radiation is quite interesting and the results of the secondary emission is even more fun! The softer secondaries from gamma bombardment on various materials in some cases are a true treat. Endless doctorial thesis's are available for analyzing the above. Certain parts of various creatures made outa the stuff people are fare poorly at some wavelengths. Kinda like a sunburn but rather permanent. The direct wavelength(s) used in mammography are perturbing, even more-so with the effect of dental X-rays associated with cataract development.

30 years old, badly damaged in the '98 flood. The most wonderful of lovingkindness. One of the folk that occasionally reads this stuff will know what it's about.
Those that are proven to rape children deserve a public al Zark execution. Slobhogs (libs in general) that reject the death penality for the slime that do this shit mostly abort the kids they acquire by random fucking anyway. Damn, childhood is so wonderful! Whyfor do so many get treated so poorly?
Nice photo tomorrow. Or next post time. Never know.
