Not to begin the week with a bummer, but one of my key sources pinged last night. Something to the effect “all eyes on Ukraine.”
I turned the Ai deep readers loose and here’s what came back:
Current Status of the Alleged Ochakiv Raid
1. Multiple Russian-Aligned Outlets Claim Detention of UK Personnel
Serbian news site B92.net and other Russian-linked media (Info24, Bloknot, Glavni.tv) report that Russian Special Forces allegedly seized two British officers—Colonel Edward Blake and Lt. Colonel Richard Carroll—alongside an unidentified MI6 cyber-security advisor, during a rapid nighttime raid (dubbed “Skat?-12”) on a Ukrainian command center in Ochakiv, a Black Sea port between Kherson and Odesa. The Record from Recorded Future+13B92.net+13Reddit+13
2. Details from Regional Forums and Social Media
User-posts and forums like LunaticOutPost and X (formerly Twitter) similarly reference a 15-minute maritime raid, with reports of the detainees possessing strategic maps, encrypted data, and coordination instructions with Ukrainian drone and missile operations. en.reseauinternational.net+1B92.net+1
3. Lack of Confirmation from Western or Ukrainian Authorities
There is no confirmation from UK, MI6, NATO, or Ukrainian government sources. Western press agencies and official statements have not verified the Russian claims. The UK Ministry of Defence has reportedly stated that the officers were traveling as tourists—an official position echoed in Russian reporting.
OK…just playing devil’s advocate here, does it stretch creds (you know, just a bit) to sell their presence as tourism?
I have a sawbuck on this being something that Russia will be having meetings about today and may hatch an aggressive response to. word that Trump envoy Witkoff to head to Russia for ‘last chance’ Ukraine ceasefire talks makes me think about doubling down. Last Chance is a poor choice of terms in a nuclear-tipped world, as we see it.
Oh…and if you’re a child …a sawbuck is a $10-bill. Because of the Roman numeral “X” which looks like an old-timey sawhorse which you probably also don’t understand. (We do try, though…)
Rally Ho!
With Ukraine on the high fizzle later this week (depending on the Ruskies response) we see the market is on full “Nothing to see here…” mode today. Though, it may be a “sell the news” deal.
Because not only did the Dow blow down through 1,044 points from Tuesday to Friday (thus, maybe time for a bounce) but tomorrow we will see what International Trade looks like.
In the delusional MOU (mind of Ure) the Future looks like so at the moment:
- 200-400 rally today
- Fizzle on trade any/or Ukraine (or another quake) tomorrow/Wed.
- Eventually – late next week? – a furthered 1,200 points down from whatever the rally dishes up.
- Which in Elliott terms, could be an a-b-c down leaving room to become a 1-2-3-4-5 down ahead of Labor Day.
- And then – down from the top, what? 2,000-3,000 points, a Labor holiday rally and then a fall in the Fall into Turkey time.
- Which then drops in the crapper as Xi r4eunifies Taiwan to quell dissent in China which could be on the short end of our trade stick.
Where it all gets interesting is to see how the Developer-in-Chief sells “on-shoring”. Sure – bringing jobs to America’s a dandy idea – spot on! But one thing I figured out from grad school back when? “Helps to have a factory when you want to make things…”
OK, might be useful to have supply lines, too. Chemicals, screws, box factories…you know…packing materials for all the stuff we can’t make?
See, that’s the long chain business problem. Sounds great to bring back jobs. But…uh…scuse us Mr. Developer…which ones first?
Half a century back, I knew a lot of Developer sorts. A few “got it” and made billions. But others didn’t match sales & closings up with completion dates on things like homes, condo’s and strip malls. They mostly went broke. Not saying that’s our national risk right now, but…yeah. Just think about it.

Greasy kid’s stuff? OPEC+ makes another large oil output hike in market share push. Again, if you’re a child, you may not remember the Janie Grant song about “Greasy kid’s stuff” from the pre-Stones rock and roll days of 1962,,,but yeah…there was a time…

Passings: Loni Anderson, star of ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ dies age 79. Back in my news-chasing days (don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this?) People at the radio station would come in to the newsroom and say “Hey Les…” A nod to Les Nessman. WKRP was not a comedy show, for those of us in the business. It was a documentary. I worked for at least two Big Guy’s. My Loni’s of the era included Rochelle and Rusty. Yeah…with what color hair? And similar topological…uh…points of interest…
Around the Ranch: Progress – Cars to Panels
Back in the day, Pappy was never too keen on washing the car. In fact, our 1959 4-door full-sized Ford (3-on-the-tree, natch) was specifically chosen to avoid the need for pointless labor.
“You see, son, with the fawn deer light brown lower and the off-white upper body panels, dirt will not show hardly at all…”
Pappy understood work ought to be reserved for meaningful – long duration results – not transitory activity. Another example: “Only a damn fool puts fertilizer on lawns so they have to mow it more often….”
Pappy also became convinced that whenever he washed the car, it would rain the next day – and so what was the point?
Fast forward 60-years and another End Times Tour de Yard on the mower. Which, because it was dry Friday and bone dry, resulted in the solar panels getting a pretty thick layer of dust on them. So I washed the panels.
Within 24 hours? We had an unexpected popup T-storm that dropped over an inch of rain on us. Why, I could eat off the panels this morning.
All of this combines for the week’s first ponder: Does every generation have it’s unique payback vector? Or, is this what Native Americans knew about rain dances? All you need to do is wash something…

A Grizzly Story
A Russian scientist and a Czechoslovakian scientist had spent their lives studying the grizzly bear.
Each year they petitioned their respective governments to allow them to go to Yellowstone to study the bears. Finally their request was granted, and they immediately flew to Yellowstone.
They reported to the ranger station and were told that it was the grizzly mating season and it was too dangerous to go out and study the animals.
They pleaded that this was their only chance, and finally the ranger relented.
The Russian and the Czech were given portable phones and told to report in every day. For several days they called in, and then nothing was heard from the two scientists.
The rangers mounted a search party and found the camp completely ravaged, with no sign of the missing men. Following the trails of a male and a female bear, they finally caught up with the female. Fearing an international incident, they decided they must kill the animal to find out if she had eaten the scientist. They killed the female and opened the stomach to find the remains of the Russian.
One ranger turned to the other and said, ” You know what this means, don’t you?” The other ranger responded..
“I guess it means the Czech’s in the male.”
Czech mate!
BOOO! Hisss! Most grizzly pun, yet.
hahaha
Humor — laid bear…
Yo G,
Seems like Twin Peaks is the current vibe in the land of Lies. The Sweeney Top as they are calling it over on Zerohedge, seems to capture the moment perfectly, almost as well as SPY Putz.

MARTIN ARMSTRONG: Here is General Wesley Clark, who was shocked when the Neocons told him they wanted to conquer the entire Middle East with American troops.
I’m not sure we will have a recording of Trump’s apology for starting World War III. I had hoped he would keep us out. I was wrong. The computer has always been correct. We have a major war on the horizon, and it does not look good.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/war/trump-is-taking-us-into-world-war-iii-listening-to-the-wrong-people/
This is the same Wes Clark who, some years back and serving as NATO’s Supreme Commander, had to be restrained and overridden by a subordinate British General, because he tried to start a nuclear war between NATO and Russia.
I know there are those here who like General Clark. However, no one has ever offered an acceptable reason for his Earth-ending “wig-out moment.” After that happened, I stuffed Wesley Clark in the “do not ever trust about anything” bin, where he has remained for five Presidents.
Martin Armstrong is doing nothing good for his reputation or his lack of knowledge by hosting such as this. Perhaps you should start posting Jim Cramer’s stuff, instead?
LOL now THAT was funny – hell Ray’s up to 2 gold stars for the day.
British are claiming Colonel Edward Blake and Lt. Colonel Richard Carroll were tourists, whom just coincidentally happened to have in their possession strategic maps, encrypted data, and coordination instructions with Ukrainian drone and missile operations, and other detailed military information on Russian troop movements, etc. We don’t call these tourists, we call them spies. As they were in a military base, they were there to further aggression against Russia. They were captured by Russian special military forces, and they have two choices.
1. Admit they are on duty for NATO and give Russia ‘causis Beli’ (reason for war against NATA/England).
2. Stick with the tourist BS and be tried and executed as spies. After Russian interrogation, I’m sure the Russians have ways of making them talk.
Either way, lives of these two British officers are over. They are enemy combatants who got captured. se la vee
If you live near a large military base or near Minute Man III silos, it was nice to know you. If you live near large metropolitan centers, you may want to go visit relatives in the midwest… you know, flyover states. :-)
If you live in the country, ensue you have your preps up to date and know your neighbors abilities to form a small community to survive in.
Just saying… you can always eat and drink your preps before they expire…
G.A. STEWART: One day, the illegal immigrants who Donald J. Trump deported out of the United States will thank Trump. South America and the southern hemisphere will certainly be much safer than the United States and Canada after a Nuclear War begins. Some readers of this website have already moved south.

old news / fake ? news ?
A claim that two British Army colonels were captured by Russian special forces in Ukraine has circulated online this week, drawing attention on social media and fringe platforms.
The story, which lacks any independent verification, appears to have originated from Russian-aligned sources and includes fabricated images and fictional identities.
There is no evidence that any such incident took place. […]
source https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/false-claim-of-uk-colonels-captured-in-ukraine-spreads/
I read at least (2) British news sites every morning (they are five hours ahead so). Looks like lots of online twaddle to my eye.

“Pappy also became convinced that whenever he washed the car, it would rain the next day – and so what was the point?”
Waxing after washing makes the difference!
Along with having inert chemical properties, car wax hardens to a slippery, hydrophobic finish that makes it difficult for dirt and stains to stick to your clear coat. Similar to the nonstick cooking spray you use to prep your frying pan, car wax prevents tough soils and grime from adhering to your vehicle’s coat of paint, making it easier to clean your car exterior. This protective layer also prevents contaminants from burning into your finish when exposed to the sun’s harmful, UV rays.

“Developer-in-Chief sells “on-shoring”
Yeah jobs are coming. Not this quarter but next quarter for sure.
Remember when people fell for “Trickle Down”. We’re in the rain. Send flowers:
“The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is the presidential library and burial site of Ronald Reagan”
Remember when people fell for “Trickle Down”
Biden’s plan was “trickle up” — where you take from the poor and middle class and use this money to pay for favors from your billionaire donors.
Given a choice, I’ll “fall” for trickle down every time, because it, at least, has the possibility of working to the benefit of the folks whose wealth lies on the lower 83% of the Bell curve…
Mr. Ure,, Thanks, as always.. In retrospect:
Lead anvils in zero gravity.. a feather in zero gravity.. an apple on the way to Newton’s head, in zero gravity..
Doesn’t anything in ‘zero gravity’ just float??
Loved the general message though. Some of us in Kansas still read..
yep its going up forever . just rig it . screw everyone . sheetcoin . chosen perpetual wealth . you win great gurus . can kick forever
great race of humanoids and fixing with robots . dopamine forever !!!!
Started prepping in 1987 … been storing food then as time went on and nothing happened (out of date items) I would donate all of the food to a local food bank and start over. Now after 4 times and now old as dirt what I have will be enough. I even we out and bought about everything a person would need if the SHTF happened.
Check the where most Nukes would hit and fallout patterns then moved to a safe area (NUKEMAP by Alex Wellerstein ) did the simulation of a nuke detonation at different places and cities with different type of nukes that helped also determine where I was going to be… here the funny part after all of this I did … I will probably never use or see the event because I will not live very much longer. The time and money I have spent over 35 or more will be a waste. The food weapons ammo survival preps solar system water system and sssooo MUCH more
Will not get used ! What everyone said would happen has not happened and will never happen probably in my lifetime.
Some people collect fragrances while others collect prepping supplies. I think it’s a generational thing and the psychology goes back to childhood.
If .gov scared a person shitless with “the Russians are coming” back when they were a child they’ll probably be inclined to prep while a person raised with divorced parents may have been sexualized early and prioritizes attracting mates.
From time to time I do look at http://www.estatesales.net. It’s easy to spot a generation. Some sales have “Occupied Japan” tchotchkes, some all types of cheap Elvis crap and others do have stale prepping supplies. In the end once precious possessions are labeled w/make offer stickers….
A waste or psychology? Human mentality is sorta like an algo. Click the mouse on the “prep” icon and the program goes.
This is why people like LOOB (and me) prep for those who survive. If we happen to be amongst this demographic we become the source for others’ survival (it’s not about the physical preps, as much as it is about the instructions on how to use them.) If we don’t survive, at least we have provided the means for others’ survival (provided they can read…)
Also, buying what you eat and rotating your supplies ensures your stuff is never outdated. Learning how to CO2 or nitrogen pack stuff makes it last much longer, as does acquiring a dehydrator &or a freeze-dryer and learning when to use which (which is where I am, now, having gotten a handle on most other reasonable prepping.)
Some how, some way, our universe muddles through, for the moment, Steve B.
That is why Mr. Ure encourages and makes plans for G2 to build on the homestead.
That is why I encourage my sons to plan for the future, to live within their means and save for the unforeseen.
The unknowable black swan event for our planet and possible continuing existence is beyond human capabilities.
Load up your internal recording database of this local universe novelty experience to capacity, to download to God when the life review surely comes.
Be well and my friends.

The story I read is they filmed the Pilot … but no network would bite … SO
They set up a screening, I think it was at the classic Chinese Theater in LA and invited all the DJ’s, Program directors, News directors, and General Managers of the rock and roll stations from all of Southern California … OH … and also invited all the TV network heads who were in charge of buying shows. Well those in the business showed up in droves, curious obviously … but I bet the show producers were also providing FREE food and drinks!! (LOL)
The crowd of people in the radio business who occupied the theater WENT WILD and gave the movie multi minute cheers and applause at the end (as well as breaking into cheer and applause at multiple points during the showing).
Well the out of the ordinary “Sales Job” worked … and the show was picked up for the upcoming season (though reportedly it started out slow when it hit the air).
Yep … for those in the business everyone said it wasn’t Fiction, it was a Documentary for THEIR station!

The Doctor sat with his hands folded across a two-inch-thick medical file on his desk. The patient sat across from him., doing his damndest to act all cool, uncaring and nonchalant., as he fiddled with his cell phone.
“Well., we have found the cause of your problem. Two of my colleagues, one psychotherapist and one psychiatrist all agree on the prognosis. That’s your good news.”
The doctor slid the thick file away from him as though it were somehow contagious and placed his hands on the clean, glass-top desk.
“As you know this medical office does not work on the premise of simply treating the symptoms of an aliment., but instead we work on ‘eliminating’ the cause. That’s your bad news.”
The patient’s expression changed. “How is that ‘bad news’ ? Can’t you just eliminate the cause? Schedule a surgery, or something?”
“Historical data shows us that 99.98% of those diagnosed with this same problem never follow their doctors’ advice., They go out and seek a second opinion., then a third., all with the same results. They never even consider taking the steps necessary to stop their problems. In fact, they usually end up blaming the doctors’ involved. Then continue on, with the same life style that brought about all of these symptoms., of anxiety, mistrust, constantly feeling disconnected., no real friends., low energy., no career motivation., no real free-thinking, haven’t read a book in years, multiple, constantly rotating part-time jobs., moving back in with their parents, can’t seem to get serious with a relationship.., it’s a long list.” The Doctor locked eyes with the patient. “Just like you.”
The patient hung his head a little., a defeatist capitulation. “So then what do I do? Just what is your advice? How do I stop all of this?”
The Doctor reached out across the desk with an open hand and motioned for the patient to hand him his cell phone. The patient hesitated., but then reluctantly passed his cell phone to the Doctor.
The Doctor leaned around his deck and dropped the cell phone in the small trash can., and looked at the patient.
The patient leaped out of his chair., in a near panic.., scrambled around and grabbed his cell phone out of the trash can. “That’s total bull shit !”., he yelled and hugged his phone like a newborn baby as he stormed out of the office., slamming the door on his way out.
The Doctor got up and took the thick medical file off his desk and walked over to a low filing cabinet and slapped it down on top of a half a dozen very similar looking files.
.
You can point out the problem – which you did very well yesterday.., however., the cure will always remain unacceptable.
I have neither looked at, nor held my phone, up to this point, today. When I DO pick it up I will take it with me to my car, where it will (in all likelihood) remain until I do my evening E-Mail (unless I’m doing heavy, manual labor), whether I remain in my car for five minutes or five hours. The idea that an electronic tool should rule my life is so abhorrent to me that I lack the comprehension of how anyone could allow their phone to do so.
They are tools, not a lifestyle. Unless you’re DJT, or one of the few Heads of State whose countries are involved in an armed conflagration, you are not important enough that you MUST “stay connected” 24/7.
I’m waiting for Bobby Kennedy to discover that “childhood obesity” is a huge problem that’s directly linked to the fact that children don’t play outdoors any more.* Although it would kill 90% of us and make the Amish “kings, among men,” IMO a Carrington Event might be the only means of salvation for our species, short of Divine Intervention.

“OK…just playing devil’s advocate here, does it stretch creds (you know, just a bit) to sell their presence as tourism?”

Doesn’t EVERYBODY deign to take their vacation in an active war zone, whenever possible? Hell, I heard Blacks, Mulattos, and New York Jews were lined up 40-deep to catch vaca flights to Berlin in 1943 — same as the American hippies for the Hanoi Express in 1970.
I would tell Witkoff: “Russia will negotiate when the bullshit stops, not before. You have seven days to get all the foreigners out of Ukraine and put a cork in Zelensky’s ass to stop his brain drain. If you miss this deadline, we will reduce Ukraine to rubble, annihilate the Ukrainian people, and conduct tours of your bioweapons facilities for every television news agency in the entire world.”
Trump is a problem-solver. He needs to worry less about saving face for the brigands who caused Ukraine (ahem, like a couple dozen Democratic pols and a certain SC Senator) and simply solve the damn’ problem. He also needs to realize, in this single case, if he’s going to “carrot & stick” a negotiation, he will have to use Russia’s carrot and stick, not ours…

DISGUSTING .
Last Friday the Presidents of Russia and Belarus met at Valaam (Finn: “A High Mountain”) Monastery situated on an island in Europe’s largest lake close to the border of Finland. The 1,000 year old site is considered a Russian Orthodox Vatican. The pair of travellers each solemnly lit a candle perhaps with respect to tourists who may have lost their way along unsigned paths.
A news conference took place perhaps overseen by the Belarussian First Pooch, Umka. The transcript of the presser appears publicly available on the presidential website curated by the Kremlin.
It would appear that neither president has lost hope in progress for Ukraine-Russia peace via the Instanbul talks. President Lukashenko forecasts a collapse of Ukraine defenses within two months. President Putin looked further down peaceful roads to future cooperations with European nations without the complications of a USA presence in a Russo-Euro dual alliance. All in all, Eastern-propogated moods seemed rather more positively oriented than what one might read in Western propaganda.
Rest assured DJ George has heard the chanting masses via studio messages. Therefore let us not delay, but make haste to Valaam Monastery where monks are gathered for spiritual intonation. Feel free to chant along with lyrics which can be located in comments before you at the following Youtube link to
“As God Is With Us”.

Folks,
Leaving monastic tranquility behind, vehicle drivers proceeding into Kharkiv along Highway M03 at speeds not greater than 130 kph (81 mph) may have seen a familiar figure by the city’s welcoming sign. Judging by a Google Maps view, the Servant of the People had secured an advantageously lit setting perhaps alongside the E105 overpass to allow recording of a 3m13s handheld selfie video. Two unseen army brigades defending the city received verbal praise. Upon entry to the city proper, the President successfully produced a further supplementary post photo gallery portraying his visit with schoolchildren at their desks.
re: “Trainspotting”, 1996
Folks,
The Servant of the People has publicly posted that his visit to Kharkiv continues. As chance would have it, Russian ordinance has also dropped in on a railway station passenger platform at Lozovayao, Kharkiv Oblast’s second largest city. The President kindly posted photos of resulting station and adjacent train damage. The carriages may be of the recently updated variety conforming to EU track measurement standards. At least one carriage appears rendered scrap-ready. No mention of delays are noted. However a casual search suggests that the website of Ukrainian Railways was last accessible on July 28th.
This is sort of an extension from yesterday’s column:
“ALZ acts (sort of) like a sugar reaction. Keto has occasionally been successful as an intermediate tactic… ”
Everybody any of us know (unless someone knows an isolated aboriginal living in the interior of South America, Africa, or Australia) is addicted to sugar. Western (especially American) food producers and fast food joints add it to their products, to make them addictive. Ergo, even when we’re “eating clean” and there’s no sugar on the label, we’re still consuming sugar. (Does HFCS punch the same ticket as sucrose? I don’t know. It might, but whether it does or not, it harbors its own set of problems, not the least of which is caused by the genetically-modified and insecticide-filled corn from which it’s made.)
Warning: The following is NOT MEDICAL ADVISE — merely the result of one man’s personal experience. We each have a path to follow. I STRONGLY SUGGEST that no one follow mine…
Should one wish to cleanse the sugar from their body and detox themselves from its poison, they could go to the local grocery, buy a bunch of fresh pineapples (bromelain is a wonderful substance, but for this to work, the bromelain must be fresh), then eat them AND NOTHING ELSE until more than one day after the sugar withdrawal has passed — roughly 7-9 days. The withdrawal is very similar to opiate withdrawal. You WILL experience several days of cold sweats and it is not pleasant. Once detoxed, you will feel amazing and things like losing weight will become much easier, as you re-acquire the true human metabolism you haven’t had since your parental unit started shoving sugar down your throat (at about 4mos of age). However, after you are “clean,” every time you consume sugar (remember, it’s in everything) you will feel like you did when you quit smoking (for months or years) and cleared your body of nicotine, then sneaked a cigarette. Eventually, you regain both the toxicity and the addiction, and all the deleterious effects from same…
well i have stumbled into the most amazing supplement ever for what your saying .fbx thermoburn .absolutely amazing
I’ve been trying to learn how to eat foods without adding sweetener (nutritional or non-nutritional).
Drinks aren’t an issue. I have never drunk coffee, tea and Chai derivatives with sweetener. In hot weather, I may drink a low calorie soda now and then.
Grains are now my focus. I can now tolerate unsweetened muslei and oat cereal, but cornflakes are a challenge. Most prepared ceresl has some sugar in it.
I am going to start cutting back on deserts with both nutritional and non-nutritional sweeteners. Bought a 1.5 lb tub of blueberries for $ 1.98 the other day. Had a bowl, then froze them, and parceled them out a bowl at a time.
Worked at WKRP myself. Blonde over paid secretary, cute ad writer, and the farm report guy, who just couldn’t let it go. Read overtime sometimes 5 minutes. One time the noon guy got so mad, that he reached through the open read booth door, and lit the teletype feed on fire. The guy didn’t quit, only read faster. Everyone in the station matched with one of the characters. Sometimes I felt like the audience watching all of the mayhem in action. RIP LONI.
* I spent 5+ days wandering around the northern half of Indiana, last week. A day of rain, followed by days of temps in the mid-70s to 80s and humidity in the mid-40s to 50s, with lots of sun and gentle breezes…
Alexandria has a B&K root beer drive-in and Anderson has Gene’s (world-famous coney dogs), both with curb service (no poodle skirts or roller skates, though.) Fairmount (James Dean Festival) has functional phone booths (I hadn’t seen one in years!) Noblesville and Westfield have become wealthy suburbs of Indianapolis (I will never understand why anyone would want to mow 10 acres of front yard.) They used to both be LMC havens. Westfield had the largest foreign car junk yard in the U.S. (I was last there in about 1981) and was the place to go if you needed parts for your Wolseley, Daimler, Triumph Herald, or MG Magnette limousine (I almost bought that Magnette. It was like a British-made precursor of the Mercedes 280SEL…) Frankfort (their HS nickname is the “Hot Dogs”), Lebanon, Crawfordsville — All towns in the 8k to 28k pop range, are showing a massive influx of new infrastructure and new factories.
Prophetstown is still a State Park NE of Purdue; Indiana Beach is still on Lake Shafer, Logansport HS students are still called “Loganberries,” (but the town hasn’t had any high-profile Hollywood weddings in several years), and the back-up AF-1 747s are still stashed at the Gus Grissom Museum (AKA Grissom AFB.)
Did you catch the weather report? It was in the first paragraph. Know what I didn’t see? KIDS! I saw two boys, riding their bikes somewhere, in Lebanon, and one little girl, maybe 4yo, out walking to the store with her daddy. That’s it, in FOUR AMAZINGLY IDYLLIC DAYS!
[When I was a kid], on days like these, especially with schools in Indiana starting back up in the next couple of weeks, you couldn’t have kept me indoors. I read several books every day and always had some electronics project or experiment going — usually had some chemistry or mechanics stuff going on, as well. That didn’t matter. I was a geek, but not stupid: I walked my paper route at 4am, then breakfast, geek-stuff, mowing yards at 8am, basketball, baseball, or football from about 1pm until dark (sometimes a hundred mile bike ride, sometimes a trip to the weight room at the YMCA for an hour or two — po’ folks didn’t own weights, when I was a kid. The “Y” didn’t have machines. Their free-weight leg press maxed at 750 pounds. I maxed it when I was 12. 750 was my workout weight…)
Parents don’t have the ‘nads to take the electronic babysitters away from Johnny and Susie, because Junior will cry or throw a tantrum, and they’re too selfish and narcissistic to deal. Because of that, when we (boomers and Xers) die out, we may take “Western civilization” with us. Hell, even the Amish and Mennonites have smartphones and tablets, now…
Jean Shepherd comes to mind.
Stop describing my childhood. You’re giving me flashbacks!
You’re welcome…
I have a motion detector that alerts me to motion in the backyard. It kept going off today, courtesy of two fawns who kept nibbling around near my back door. My car is in the garage; they think it’s safe to play with the old guy away.
Bambi Burgers sound like a swell idea for the Grill, maybe slice up an onion, douse in Buffalo Wing hot sauce, and grill em up next to the Bambi Burgers. Grilling up a couple heads of Romaine doused in Italian salad dressing works as well, as does soaking & grilling unhusked ears of Corn..Yum.
*Humanly dispatched, cleaned and processed, maybe add a lil Beef& Pork fat to the mix.
Ure guests at the cookout will have no eyedeer its Bambi.
Pennsyltucky – moar than just ShooFlyPie.
Not a good critter management strategy.
If you just have to gnaw on a critter bone, go somewhere away from the hood to hunt while you got gas and ammo. Leave the local critters for when you are SOL, out of fuel, and on short ammo supplies.
Other bones to pick:
Little critters grow up to be big critters, unless you harvest them too soon. Neighborhood wildlife should be managed, not wasted.
The Romaine lettuce I am familiar with is leaf, not head lettuce.
I notice you still haven’t been able to test squirrel or moose recipes.
Romaine – slice head in half, slather in salad dressing lay on hot grill for couple minutes, flip over, repeat.
Not like Romaine is growing on a Bush or a Tree, it is a head of Lettuce, like all other Lettuces. You ever grown your own ? Dont seem like it …Lettuce leaves growing in Lettuce Tree ????
No Moose in Pennsyltucky, just Elk and Deer – have had Moose Chili from a Minnesotan cook I knew in USN..enhhhh.
Squirrel Stew and Dumplings = ALL American recipe.
Not gonna go into survival stats for new born/ Yearlings around my neck of the woods – suffice to repeat old saying “never look a gift Meal-Deer in the mouth”.
That being said – We got way too many Deer in SE Pennsyltucky, they are a nuisance and a liability to all Homeowners and Car owners in these parts.
Annual Deer lottery starts in a Month – how many Deer will be blown to smithereens on local highways and byways this Fall ? Big ole greasy Blood and Bile stains covering highway, chunks of Deer meat scattered around. My russels do love to chew on the Antlers though – its like crack to them.
PS – I got a Bone for ya. Just ask, I would be happy to share. : )
If I had to guess I’d guess Trump’s name was inserted into Epstein file.
“Trump’s administration conditions $1.9 billion in FEMA disaster preparedness funds on states and cities not boycotting Israeli companies. ”
A giveaway will be if Trump pardons Diddy. Birds of a feather is real.
Just got off the phone with a friend of mine. He’s a retired detective for the county sheriff’s office where I live. We first met when a local drug house suddenly burned down – about fifteen years ago.
He retired and moved away to Mesa Arizona. Neat little spanish style house., just out side the city limits.
His son has been staying with him for the past couple of weeks – about to head back to college to finish-up his work for his PhD in forensic psychology. Very smart young man.
five days ago his son step out the back door to the covered patio and was instantly smacked by a rattle snake. A huge rattler. Hit him in the calf. He yelled and my friend came a running. He blasted the snake with his 9mm, applied a tourniquet., scooped up his son and made a bee-line for the hospital.
The doctor said it looks as though the snake pumped every drop it had.., and it was touch-n-go for the first 24 hours and really bad the next twenty four.., and started to come around on the third 24 hour stretch. It will still be days before he can be released and upwards of a year before he can walk normally again., as a lot of the calf muscle had to be removed.
So far.., the bill is just over $156,000. For a rattle snake bite.
.., damn !
wow so sad . life surprise . hope he makes a reasonable recovery . tragic actually
Cro-Fab aint cheap by any stretch, and it aint covered by Insurance.
Less youse get envenomated by Fer-De-Lance/Jumping TommyGoff in Belize – every clinic/hospital has fresh Anti-Venoms in fridge.
Dr visits and drugs be free at the national health clinics. I always slip em Cash when ever I avail myself of their services – User beware.
Last time I went to clinic in Placenicia village, Dr prescribed Amoxicillin for Sinus Infection..this after I explained my severe reactions to anything Penicillin related. Hell I respond great to Sulpha Drugs, but they didnt have any of those.
Anyway take this Hispanic Docs’ (moron) prescription over to next door in clinic, after he mumbled some bullscheisse about adjuvants.. did mention bonehead?
The PA says to me..”your allergic to Penicillin” . ” Si” I responded and pointed at the box full of Doxycycline, all meds are donated by UNICEF, she handed me a 10 day supply blister pack, winks and says stay outta the Sun while taking the meds. A Hispanic smoke show with a good Brain…and No she was not responsive to my flirtations..at all.
* Dr in story died from covert19 as did Dr Brother – real geniuses.
“Medical” is a business model FIRST. As a “medical” consumer, it behooves one to educate yourself first, and always beware of doctors ‘medical advice’. You are the final decider.
in the ’80’s, my friend was hiking in Marin County, CA, got bit by a rattlesnake, had to hitchhike to a hospital where she was told she was on drugs or crazy, until the paralysis became apparent. Then they scrambled on the phone tryng to locate anti-venom, had to have it flown in from Nevada while the clock was ticking. Her massive anti-venom dose laid her up in the hospital for a week. Later her and her partner made it a CA State law that every hospital in Rattlesnake territory must keep anitvenom on hand.
Insurance should cover most of the steep bill:

A Big Win for the US Urban and Rural Community. Especially the tree farmers. Congrats! Papa Trump loves you.

i have spoken to Elizabeth Nickson more than a few times. She is a rare Present on a world full of coal stalking stuffers.
Though my mind is not for rent….
Don’t put me down as arrogant
My reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day’s events
The river
that is all,
i return to being the Modern Day warrior with a mean mean stride.
You’re going to Canada…?
