Tuesday – November 3rd, 2020 —> -3˚C / +26˚F —> ‘overcast’ with a wind chill of -8˚C / -16˚F in Atlantic Canada —> I believe it’s Peter Morse’ Birthday 🙂 —

- "Deer Hill" This morning at 9:34 am -

– “Deer Hill” – this morning at 9:34 am Atlantic {Standard} Time – Shot Captured from ‘Deer Cam 01’ / Camera # 05 –

— {Yawn}

— One of our favourite ‘prognosticators’ was on Coast To Coast A.M. last night – early this morning – John Hogue – The expert on 15th Century French Language and Nostradamus – He said that the U.S.A.’s Astrology indicates that the U.S.A. is going through a ‘Death and Rebirth Cycle’ – & that this election down there { well, John Hogue and George Noory and 90% of the all night Talk Show’s hosts are from the U.S.A. } will, among other things – give us indications of just how painful that ‘death and rebirth’ will be.

— John Hogue said he had to be impartial or his predictions could go off the rails, but sounded like he did lean toward liking Trump more than Joe Biden. Or maybe he’s just more honest than almost every other person with a really good track record for predicting U.S. election outcomes. { He’s gotten every election he predicted since 1968 right, and confessed that when he thought it got it wrong in 2016 he felt relieved, felt that the pressure was off and he wouldn’t have to feel like he had to keep his streak going. }

— Predictions for this election: Taking into account – Astrological data for Today – Election Day in the USA – and Inauguration Day { January 20th, 2021 } :

= = = = =

—————     Neither Donald J Trump, nor Joe Biden would survive this next term in office.

————— If Joe Biden was elected and took office, Kamala Harris would become President sooner than later. & If Trump was inaugurated again, Pence would become President – not quite as soon as Kamala Harris would be sworn in… –

————— There is a ‘Significant Possibility’ that the election results would still be in question on Inauguration Day which would mean that Nancy Pelosi would be sworn in on January 20th, 2021 – and would serve “until such a time as the issues were resolved” { Including the 400 + Law Suits that have already been filed – so the Trumpian stall tactics could ‘very well backfire’. }  — That’s in the U.S. Constitution.

————— “The only profession mentioned in the U.S. Constitution was the “Free and Independent Press” – And, since the Corporate take-over of virtually every press outlet in the U.S.A. would indicate that there is no such thing as a free and independent press in the U.S.A. – That would show us that the biggest threat to our Democracy is not the Fascist and/or Socialist leanings of either of the two most dominant political parties, but the corporations that control what U.S. citizens have access to through their obviously slanted ‘Main Stream Media’.”

————— As I hinted at before, John Hogue is hoping he gets this wrong so he won’t feel more and more pressure with each upcoming election – BUT – He says that the indications he sees are – Joe Biden will win the ‘Popular Vote’ and Donald J Trump will probably be inaugurated into a second term as pResident of the U.S.A. – Whoever is actually inaugurated could be by the vote in the Electoral College, a decision in The Supreme Court, or the process mandated by the Constitution which would put Nancy Pelosi in the White House for an indeterminate period of time – pending the outcome of way too many monkey wrenches thrown into the process.

————— Astrological influences, according to Mr. Hogue, give him a reasonable chance that the final results of this election could be known as soon as two weeks after election day – or not until January 6th, 2021. { And that might not include any unresolved court cases at that time. }

————— & the Final Caveat here would be that no matter what happens in the next several months, by the end of the next Presidency after this up-coming one – The U.S.A. may have a new Constitution / a completely new form of government &/or will most definitely be completely unrecognizable compared to what the U.S.A. has ‘enjoyed’ up to now.

= = = = =

— “The Whole World will be going through the same kind of upheavals we will experience here.”

— Sweet Dreams / Belles Reves mes amis-

— On the only positive note I can pull out of a hat – According to Vedic Scholars – Asian India’s Legitimate Gurus { “No one in India can claim to be a Guru until they can demonstrate that they have the ability to raise the dead.” } —> What we are experiencing here are repeats of known and documented cyclical ‘growing pains’ as the entire planet is moving into a higher section of our material universe and will enter the next step up toward another ‘Golden Age’ – This would not be the Golden Age – this would probably be { by my admittedly limited ability to understand events on that scale : } – the dawning of the “Silver Age” or maybe just the transition into the age of ‘Aquarius’ after 2,000 years in the Piscean Age – during which some ‘experts’ believe everyone on Earth is subject to falling for lies, half truths, intellectual instability; –  deliberately misleading propaganda from their governments, military and maybe even secret societies – { <— This is not my philosophical endorsement of those terms… } you don’t need to shoot the messenger here…

 

—> Um, chew on that for a while, and don’t blame me if it breaks your teeth.

~~~~~ I am wishing { and trying to send } Peace, Love, Understanding, and Compassionate Intentions to every living thing on this planet.

~~~~~ Shanti Namaste – Shalom – Aloha – Salaam – Mubarak Bashad { <—forgive me if I got that spelling or intention wrong } And best wishes for a comfortable, peaceful, and relaxed and more enjoyable life from here on – { “Have a nice life!” one friend quipped on her way out the door after a particularly tough evening at work…. }

Hitler Quote

– I tried to google this quote and came up empty –

— There is strong evidence that George W Bush never actually won either of his presidential ‘victories’ – That the actual honest vote in Florida in the year 2000 would have shown that the other guy won. Beyond that the careful researchers from the BBC broke the story that Jeb Bush – G.W.’s brother – paid $4 million dollars to get a list from a Republican propaganda group with the names, birthdays and other pertinent information – gathered from Texas Law Enforcement – A list of persons convicted of felony offenses in Texas. —> Florida Law – at least in the year 2000 – did not allow anyone convicted of a felony to vote. Jeb Bush and Florida Law Enforcement officers saw to it that anyone with a birth date that matched someone on that list – if their name was similar ‘enough’ – when the ‘race’ listed was “other than ‘Caucasian’-” was not allowed to vote. Florida Police were sent out on Election day with orders to harass people of color in vehicles that appeared to be on their way to vote – pulling them over, measuring tire tread, looking for any excuse to write a ticket or find the vehicle unfit to drive —> & In the year 2004 – the thoroughly Republican president of Diebold Corporation promised to hand G.W. Bush a Victory, his voting machines could be messed with – Technicians showed up when it was time to count the votes, ostensibly to check machines which somebody had complained to them about, opened up the machines, checked them over, and handed the election officials at strategically chosen polling places – hand written pieces of paper with figures that could never be checked, and said, “Yes, the machines malfunctioned, these are the real figures, we had to reset them back to zero and you’ll have to turn them over to us so we can fix the problems that caused them to malfunction.” Voters in many non-white majority districts had to stand in long lines in the rain on a cold November day for hours before they could enter the buildings where the voting took place – AND there were plenty of those fraudulent calls saying “We expect such a large turn-out that we’ve had to spread the vote over two days, Republicans will vote on Tuesday and Democrats will vote on Wednesday.” And the good old boy attitude, “Well – shame on you if you believed that bullshit -” prevailed.

— I heard an Astrologer interviewed on Coast To Coast AM recently – He’s worried about the election coming up in the United States. & He’s worried about the influences that will be operating on inauguration day. The same aspects that were occurring during JFK’s inauguration as well as FDR’s final inauguration day, and the second {?} Barack Obama inauguration day { the one they had do re-do giving him the oath of office the next day because somebody got the words wrong – }. The Astrologer thinks this might not bode well for whoever gets sworn in on that date. The influences on election day hint that the apparent winner on the night of the election may have the results completely overturned when the final votes are tallied.

— I’m personally worried about Donald Trump’s health – Covid-19 attacks people in unexpected ways. One of its tricks is to cause blood clots. These symptoms may show up nine or ten days after the patient tests positive. The drugs they gave Donald J Trump while he was in Walter Reed Medical Center have a known Possible side effect – They can cause confusion. But if the patient is deluded to begin with – how would anybody know the difference between his ‘normal’ state and a complete break from ‘reality’? If the US President has a stroke and begins acting weird – would anybody be able to recognize the symptoms?

= = = = =

– “Do Not take anything I say as God’s ultimate Truth – Run it up a flag pole and see who might want to drag it down and burn it before you even begin to think you might embrace it.” –

— Do some diligent fact checking – Don’t ask a politician to tell you the truth about anything. And don’t expect anyone anywhere to do your thinking for you –

— “Any time a politician opens their mouth and the worlds “Leadership” of “Jobs” come out – forget it – You’re being manipulated and lied to.” { I saw a well researched interview with ‘First Nations’ {{ U.S. citizens would call them ‘Native Americans’ or even ‘American Indians’ }} And one woman said she’d heard politicians promise ‘Jobs’ so often and after elections no decent new jobs showed up where they’d been promised – that she turns and walks away from any politician who utters the word “Jobs”. }

{{{ Suggested Soundtrack? “Don’t give me no hand-me-down world – I’ve got one already” or whatever the title actually is by Bachman-Turner Overdrive. }}

Subject: Re: Why do so many people rally behind Trump’s messages?

— Terry,

— I’m a dual U.S. / Canadian citizen –

— Why do almost 40% of US voters say they’ll vote for Trump?

 

— The cynical / ‘realistic’ answer is “Because they believe the kind of propaganda that has them all anxious and Spiritually off-center to the point where they believe that if they stand behind the most obnoxious bully in their neighbourhood –  who seems to have the most armed militias on his side – they might stand their best chance of surviving when imaginary hoards of evil immigrants, drug crazed gangs from the nearest minority ghettos, and other demonic boogey men – show up with guns to take away the rights and freedoms that Conservative Republicans { Bush I & II } –  & more recently, Trump – and his followers –  have already gradually taken away from them, all the while trying to deflect their attention to ‘Commies’ {like Biden??? Are you serious? – If they can get away with it, they are – deadly serious. } And by the way, Trump has committed more egregious nepotism than the Bidens – Joe’s son was in the Ukraine trying to clean up the corruption, not capitalize on it. Meanwhile – think of Trump as most likely being guilty of everything he accuses ‘the left leaning Democrats’ of trying to get away with. His daughter gets freebies from China because the Trump would-be-dynasty is leveraging their position in the White House toward monetary gains for their businesses and bank accounts.

— The Honourable Paul Hellyer – Ex Canadian Minister of Defense – and member of the Queens Privy Council – said in a recent interview that –  when the US ‘intelligence’ ‘services’ brought in a lot of Nazis under ‘project paperclip’ they didn’t just bring in rocket scientists, they brought in intelligence officers and ‘mad scientist types’ who’d done research in brainwashing people and using drugs to get their assets into a state where they are easily manipulated into doing things that we as a ‘free society’ used to believe were completely abhorrent. The mad scientists and secret police types told the kind of people inside the U.S. government —> and their friends in most western governments – who wanted to play puppeteer – and manipulate and control everybody – how to do that – “Keep them anxious – they’re easy to manipulate when they’re afraid that scapegoated minorities will turn violent and start a revolution or band together in lawless gangs and rob, kill and rape everybody with fair skin.” They also told government accountants how to ‘cook their books’ and hide multiple income streams and manipulate their budget reports to disguise assets as liabilities { by figuring in hypothetical deterioration of capital properties over long terms and entering those long term projections as liabilities “now” and then add projected rising prices each year – to claim they need to raise money through bond issues to replace rusting infrastructure that doesn’t rust quite as fast as they claim it will – { or look around at Fredericton – they get cheap contractors to use substandard materials to fix our roads and then need to redo them over and over again at ever escalating costs that are over-inflated just enough to almost seem reasonable. } And they sell off aging assets like government vehicles before they lose too much of their resale value when they’ve already included much higher replacement cost estimates on the liability side of their current and past budgets and then under-report their income from selling off those vehicles. }

— Do not take my word for anything – do your due diligence research. Ask an honest forensic accountant for help.

— Thank you if you read this far without rolling your eyes and writing me off as a whacko conspiracy freak.

Green Party Sign endorsing Melissa Fraser

– A Green Party sign showed up this morning. –

— From about 1995  until halfway through the year 2002 – I repaired and maintained the web site for the Green Party of Connecticut. I did this the hard way, editing in html.

— I’d been one of the USA’s vast group of unpaid home health care people as my father was frequently in distress with his C.O.P.D. and could not be periodically taken off his steroids without needing emergency trips to the nearest V.A. Hospital. The steroids gradually ate away at the calcium in his body and with his bone density going down hill, he developed a compression fracture in his spinal column that could have been triggered by something as simple as stepping down from a curb. He became confined to a wheel chair until a bone fusion operation in 1994 partially enabled him to get around, but he never fully regained his ability to walk without a walker or somebody to lean on. He’d been a Fire Fighter for almost thirty years and had been so healthy as a kid that he practically accused us of faking it when we had the mumps or measles during our childhood. But when the fire department was called to try to rescue a worker at Raybestos Manhattan’s local factory because the worker had fallen into a toxic pool of chemicals – because my father was a big guy, and the worker was pretty big too, the Fire Department sent my father in to pick up the worker’s already dead body, and drag it out of the pool. That might have been the beginning of my father’s deteriorating state of his health. After being sent to the emergency room with Asthma and breathing difficulties several times in the middle to late 1970’s the fire department decided that he needed to be retired with a disability. When he realized that his disability retirement payments amounted to ‘peanuts’ he went to the sitting Fire Chief and asked for help getting better monthly benefits. The Chief told him he couldn’t help him, that was not within his power. My father got something like $300.00 a month. The chief retired a year later with a pension that amounted to $30,000.00 PLUS a year. A guy who had been my father’s friend, who’d been a fire fighter about as long as my father had, either  fell or jumped from the piece of fire fighting apparatus called a ‘Snorkle’  { a large basket with a fire hose or more than one hose/nozzles – on the end or a long arm – that looks like a cherry picker on steroids } and got more than twice as much as my father was getting as retirement with disability benefits less than a year after my father had to settle for his $300.00 + a month. My mother didn’t drive – My 3 sisters and a brother lived too far away to be on call ’24/7/365′ – taxis were out of the question expensive and so was ambulance service that might have been affordable if they took him to the nearest for profit hospital that my parents couldn’t afford. —> When Ronald Reagan was elected { pResident of the White House }, one of the first things he did was claw back funds going to social security which saw my father’s social security disability payments cancelled – Dad was forced to try to get temporary jobs – and while he was working one of those jobs he developed the compression fracture, which caused bone chips which pressed against his spine, which made him a paraplegic. The steroids also contributed in a large part to heart problems that killed my father in 1995.

— Add to this series of unfortunate realities the fact that I’d been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia as a result of years of P.T.S.D. symptoms – and I was basically a borderline near basket case myself.

— I couldn’t afford the spiffy new web site creating/editing software like DreamWeaver and its adobe and microsoft counterparts. I was informed that a new member of the Connecticut Green Party would be taking over the main job of keeping their web site up to date and looking a little more ‘professional’ than what I could do without all the new bells and whistles of an expensive web editing program. { I did get a standing ovation when I took their site out of the stone age and into 1995 when I did that. }

— And one of the guys who tried to update stuff was using micro-schnarr’s ‘Front Page’ – so I would get a call at like 11:30 at night from this guy and he’d say, “Jim… I tried to update our web site and now there’s this thick blue vertical line running through the middle of everything, Can you fix that?” – in those days, using the free stuff that came with netscape, it took me all night to fix that and when the same guy signed on at 7:30 the next morning and I’d just finished fixing what he and Front Page had screwed up, he ‘messaged’ me, saying “Are you still up?” & I replied, “Yeah, I just finished fixing everything that Front Page messed up, good night.”

— And when I fell in love with a Canadian and began trying to live up here, first as a permanent resident, then as a dual citizen, the guy who owned the servers that the Connecticut Green Party’s web site was on  – revoked my ability to connect and do any of the minor updates and fixes that I worked on from about 1995 to 2002.

— I do have a ‘Green Party of Connecticut’ tee shirt – circa the year Y2K – If I can find it, I might wear it somewhere some day.

— And a yard sign showed up this morning proudly stating “Elect – { in English and French } Melissa Fraser – / Fredericton- York / Green -Vert” as the Provincial Elections for New Brunswick are 11 days away.

— This morning we also got ‘junk mail’ propaganda from the PC {“Progressive Conservative”} candidate – as well as the current PC ‘Premier’ of New Brunswick; the PA { “People’s Alliance” }  candidate – and the Liberal candidate for this ‘Riding’ ( in the US we would have called this a ‘district’ – not a ‘riding’ ).

— So let me give you my unsolicited, maybe unwanted, opinion of the various parties and their candidates up here.

—> —> But first – let me tell you what the Honourable Paul Hellyer – ex Member of the Federal Parliament of Canada, Minister of Defense ,and member of the ‘Queen’s Privvy Council’ { After clarifying to the US talk show host who was interviewing him – that the ‘privvy council’ does not get its name from the US slang interpretation of ‘Privvy’ as ‘pertaining to a bathroom or outhouse’ ) – said on late night radio { Coast To Coast A.M. } this last Sunday Night / Monday Morning —> { not a direct quote } —>   – Some of the Nazis who were semi-secretly smuggled into the USA at the end of World War Two as part of ‘Operation Paper Clip’ managed to secure important positions as advisors in not just scientific/aerospace research, but in intelligence and military circles, and in effect —> ‘Infiltrated’  {<— Hon. Paul Hellyer’s word } – infiltrated the US Government and helped establish what the Honourable gentleman called the ‘Cabal’ of international shadowy figures who pull the strings on everything that’s happening in the world right now. & he named several political organizations that most of you would probably associate with the rantings of anti-conspiracy ‘weirdoes’ – If you’re rolling your eyes right now, you’ve been duped, bought and sold – and led around by the ring in your nose that you never realized was there.

—> Progressive Conservative Party / Conservative Party of Canada —> Too many Conservatives / ‘Progressive’ Conservatives up here are mean spirited jerks who believe they gain political power by ‘divide and conquer’ tactics. The last Conservative Prime Minister of Canada – Stephen Harper – closed down so many satellite offices of the Vetarans’ Administration up here that he proudly accepted a cheque for One BILLION dollars from the then Minister of Veterans affairs. – This was during what had been labeled as an epidemic of Veterans’ suicides due to PTSD – Veterans groups were so angry about this – because it meant that veterans who did not live in Major cities could no longer go to counsellors and professionals familiar with their cases, and were therefore dumped into a system which routinely rubber stamped all requests for help as “Denied” – These veterans groups got together and started “ABC” campaigns { “ABC” = ‘Anybody But Conservatives’ } The “ABC” movement is largely responsible for Justin Trudeau’s amazing landslide victory in 2015. —>  When we lived in Ontario, we heard die hard Conservatives call New Democratic Party’s Jack Layton, “Taliban Jack” for the ‘left leaning’ head of the New Democrats’ reluctance to jump into any war the USA’s 2nd Bush regime wanted to start, anywhere at any time. Harper also oversaw the trashing of dumpsters full of scientific books and pamphlets because he didn’t believe that global warming and anything anti-big-oil corporations and/or anti-clear-cut-deforestation messages were anything he wanted anybody to know about. He also muzzled scientists – kept them from saying anything that could be seen as detrimental to his corporation-friendly policies. The woman running for Parliament in our ‘Riding’ was described as a “Loose Cannon” – Prime Minister Harper assigned a ‘Handler’ to stay with her and keep her from saying anything that might hurt the Conservative Party, and especially Stephen Harper’s chances at securing a parliamentary majority and thereby –  a ‘Majority’ government –  and while I was working for a cable company where my job was to record and edit local town council meetings for the ‘Access’ channel – the Mayor of the town I was based in told me that he got a call ten minutes before that Conservative candidate was suddenly scheduled to show up in the town hall, and the Mayor was told, “No media can be present, not questions can be asked. She’s there to talk to your town council members and that’s all.” —> Guess who won the local election for member of parliament? My best friend rolled her eyes and said, “These fools would elect a dead goat if it ran under the Conservative Party’s banner.” —. Conservatives up here are mean spirited ‘Beedy Grastards’ who claim they’re trying to save “Your Tax Dollars” by cutting needed services, basically screwing everybody but the super rich.

—> The ‘People’s Alliance” party isn’t just mean spirited – they’re bigoted and try to make everybody believe that if they were in power the voters would get to keep more of the money that is now ‘wasted’ as tax dollars’ that pay for services for the ‘lazy’ and minorities and immigrants who do not share ‘Canadian Values’ & by Canadian Values they mean far-right divisive ‘Beedy Grastard’ values. They may be worse than the PC’s.

—> The Liberals may mean well, but if Liberals actually value human beings over tired old concepts of strict regulations and inhuman practices handed down from antiquity – it doesn’t show. Best Guess? They’re so wrapped up in maintaining any power they can get that they’re willing to make deals with the devil and allow big businesses to laugh all the way to their banks —> giving powerful businesses big tax breaks while forcing those who can’t afford it to shoulder the burden of higher taxes for dwindling services. If Liberals are a shade better than Conservatives, they’re still not good enough to earn my loyalty, or my vote.

—> The New Democratic Party { “NDP” } —> When I first came to Canada it seemed to me that the NDP was ‘Greener’ than the system of scattered and unaffiliated local Green Parties. They backed policies like ‘sustainable renewable power generation’ – ‘living wages’, ‘Gender Equality’ & basically, everything I liked about the US Green Party’s values and platforms. The NDP’s Tommy Douglas is the reason Canada has Universal Health Care – which the Conservatives and PA types would like to do away with completely { I don’t call them ‘Beedy Grastards’ for no reason }. —> When we first moved to the Fredericton, New Brunswick area, a female NDP candidate was the first and only local politician who came and talked to us, we really liked her, she was a Nurse – and stood for the things that were important to me and my lovely spouse. But after we asked for a sign endorsing her in the provincial race here, we have been bombed with requests for donations and financial support. Sometimes several times a day in email. And with the exception of a few charismatic Federal and local MPs { sometimes called “MLAs” or Members of Local Assemblies } in other provinces – the NDP looks like it doesn’t know how to run any effective local or federal campaigns. During the last provincial election, the NDP didn’t even run a candidate in our riding/district. Plus – the guy who used to be the head of the Provincial NDP here ‘jumped ship’ and joined the “Beedy Grastards” of the Conservative party. So much for dedication to real, honest progressive values…

—> The Green Party. —> Beginning with the election of Elizabeth May to the Federal Parliament from a riding in British Columbia a few elections back – the Green party has been making a little bit of progress here. They nearly won the last Provincial election in P.E.I. but one of their most popular candidates died in an accident and they lost their potential majority by just that much. David Coon was the first New Brunswick Green to be elected to the New Brunswick Provincial Assembly. In the next provincial election he was re-elected along with two other candidates. When I sent email to a green party candidate in Ontario, asking if they needed help with their web presence – the answer I got was kind of like, “What Planet are you from?” When we met a female candidate for our riding in the last provincial election here in New Brunswick and I told her about my web skills and previous affiliation with the Connecticut Green Party she asked, “Why didn’t you come forth a couple months ago?” The Green Party Candidate from this Federal riding was elected to the Federal Parliament in the last Federal election. The Green Party in this provincial election is the only party that has achieved gender equity . The PCs – who called the election, said they didn’t have enough time to aim for that. The nasty jerks in the Peoples Alliance claim they go with their most qualified candidates and don’t consider their gender while choosing. The Liberals said they would have gone for gender equity if they had more time – and the NDP apparently couldn’t come up with enough candidates to run somebody in every riding, so they took what they could get. —> I see the Green Party as the only party that is Honest, Ethical, Concerned with Real Human Values, is NOT DIVISIVE, —> IS inclusive and deserves my vote.

—> One last note before I shut up and post this. There are a couple forensic accountants in the USA who claim that – since Operation Paper Clip brought a lot of Nazis into the USA —> ‘American’ politicians – and by extension, every level of government in the so called free world – has learned to cook their books and hide income streams that account for 2/3 of the income that every level of government receives. Taxes account for 1/3 { One Third } of the income into Federal, State and/or Provincial, county, municipal and any other level of governments’ treasuries. These accountants claim that all levels of government could stop collecting taxes right now this minute – and deliver more and better services than they now claim are draining their treasuries. They have tricks that claim that assets are liabilities and we don’t know about their hidden bank accounts.

—> Do you want to guess who said “The vast majority of the public will more readily accept a big lie than a small one.”?  —> Adolph Hitler.

Monday, March 9th, 2020 —> 0˚C / +32˚F -very grey and cloudy @ 12:55 pm on, I believe, Jean Cippolini’s Birthday – { SP? } —> here in Atlantic Canada —

Chunks of snow -

– Chunks of snow looking like fallen pillars from the ruins of a Greek Temple? –

— This shows the effects of snow followed by rain, followed by freezing – followed by human efforts to chop through very ornery hard stinkin’ snow banks. Cathi did this, I was not able to attempt to get up, go out and help her – 🙁 —

Effects of wicked wind -

– And then we had a wind storm — We are not complaining. Other Canadians were clobbered with incredible amounts of snow. –

— I think the temperature was 0˚C – and the wind chill was more like -20˚C – { Translation: 32˚F with a wind chill or -4˚F } The wind kicked up lots of sand and other flotsum, and blew a lot of pieces of leaves, pine needles, and even bits of tree bark around.

Driveway under ice, salt & sand.

– And this is a shot of our driveway – after a lot of snow and rain and freezing rain and Ice pellets { sleet? } and thawing and freezing and then large doses of salt and sand –

— And – if that’s not scary enough ….

Our Street - At about 9:10 am March 9th, 2020

– Garbage Day in our humble neck of the frozen north. Please note that half the road is covered in ice that melts by day and refreezes by night. There’s a turn that could send anybody who loses control due to ice conditions – into our friendly neighbourhood utility pole. –

— Yup, if you’re a big fan of ‘white knuckle driving’ – come pay us a visit during the worst of any winter. This might just be any adrenaline junkies’ vision of heaven on Earth.

Ice bank and sanded driveway.

– We have had to chop the top off the pile of snow and now hard ice several times to get it down to what you might be able to see on the left side of this photo – to give Cathi a chance to see where she’s going if and when she leaves the driveway. Thanks to our wood stove and I think a cord and a half of split hardwood – the house is as nice and cozy inside as it might look here – unless you’re really pissed off since you learned that Canadians do not live in igloos. –

— Yeah, I’m becoming allergic to the teevee news lately – But Jess Jackson did endorse Bernie Sanders – Wow.

Kameron+Kaelyn with a green morning fog

– On a brighter front – Whattaya do when the weather conspires to keep you inside? I build game words – This is Kameron the “Ottarian” and Kaelyn, the half elf half Ottarian. marvelling at a greenish morning fog in Cavendish area –

— “Ottarians” believe they evolved from playful river otters. They have smallish claws that allow them to pick most locks with ease and they have no concept of private property, but they are nurturing and helpful and want to share everything that ‘follows them home’ with anybody who might like it. When the weather in “Aerendel” – my game world – became warmer, Kaelyn got rid of her bard boots and ran around barefoot.

Jessicka witnessing a strange sunrise

– One of the pitfalls we encounter while building 3D game worlds is sometimes landscapes decide to unravel – Here “Jessicka” has been taken slightly aback when sunrise over Ridgefield revealed a piece of a mountain that came unglued – and threatened to float away. –

— Very solid looking landscapes are actually two dimensional, and from the wrong side of a mountain, your mountain is pretty much invisible. You can tell water to be reflective on both sides of its surface, but if you want to build a cave, you need to have an extra layer of stone veneer and flip it upside down, then very carefully check and recheck to make sure the interior of the cave’s ceiling is completely inside the mountain’s { or whatever’s -} exterior dimensions.

"TaleRocker" the bard - discovered a castle that roams around the landscape.

– One of the core principals that formed the basic weird properties of the Aerendel Universe – is the ‘myth’ that an early resident of that universe thought that the forces of evil were about to destroy all of creation for the plus-perfect hell of it -then,  and with the aid of her trusted closest friends, using their arch-angelic creative powers – fashioned an ‘Anomaly’ – a cave that bridged all limits of time and space, and gave that anomaly a bit of sentience so it could find and rescue innocent creatures about to be murdered by bad guys and lead them back in time to before the bad guys went bad. –

— Maybe this should have been the caption and the caption should have been here? —> TaleRocker the Bard has discovered that the rumours of a Castle that appears and disappears at random times in odd places is actually true – and if that’s true – then maybe the rumours of a sentient anomaly protecting the innocent on this world are also true —? Hmmmm —

Rachel and Laery in Easlynne-

– Rachel is DJ Otterson’s daughter’s avatar. Just to confuse you – DJ’s daughter’s name really is Rachel. An earlier version of this avatar looked a little bit more like Rachel, but Rachel the human played with the face and body ‘morphing’ routines and believes this version of herself looks like she is proabably more fun to hang around with. – ‘Laerry’ is Rachel’s husband’s avatar. His ‘real world’ name is not Laerry – and his ears ‘in real life’ do not have elvish points. –

— I could bomb you with several more screen shots from our game world, but that might slow down your load time beyond ‘reasonable’ – I really like Rachel’s latest version of herself. I don’t think I’d buy a used car from her, but she does look like she’d be fun to hang around with.

* * * * *

— And now, the more or less ‘important’ news of the ‘real world’ …

— The price of a barrel of oil fell to $30.00 U$ over night. Will this convince any greedy oil barons to give up and invest exclusively in renewable resources? Probably not.

— The last time I gritted my teeth and took a peek at one of our news channels, the Dow Jones was down more than 1,800 points this morning.

— Ya want a Conspiracy Theory to chew on? —> If the puppeteers who are pulling Donald J Trump’s strings { So expertly and so subtly that he doesn’t even know he’s being played? } are actively trying to destroy – not just the U$A’s economy, but that of the entire world – What the bleep do they believe they can gain from that? Revenge for all the dirty tricks the C.I.A. pulled on our trusting allies? And if you add the Coronavirus to this mix – if some of the people I’ve heard on late night radio are right and the ‘Red Chinese’ are orchestrating the downfall of ‘Western Culture’ as part of their 50 year plan to become the sole power on this planet – How could they have allowed one of their own people to let a cat out of their top secret facility where they supposedly weaponized this virus for future use against their enemies, real and/or imagined? One possibly goofy theory I heard was that Bill Gates is behind this pandemic – trying to reduce the population of earth down to a nice manageable size so the soul-less elites can control everybody. But then somebody else wondered if we’d have to wait for half of those elites to drop dead from the virus before anybody admitted they might have a problem.

— I think I’ll go listen to Melanie { Savka? Safka? }  singing “Glory, Glory Pyschotherapy -” and laugh myself back to sleep.

Sunday, August 19th, 2018 —> +23˚C / +73˚F – cloudy with some sunshine getting trough in Atlantic Canada at 2:07 pm Atlantic Time —> Today is my old neighbour, Bill Clinton’s Birthday – yes, THAT Bill Clinton —

map

Not the most colourful map I’ve seen lately, but this is the USGS map of earthquakes over 2.5 magnitude in the past 24 hours… I think…

— The red dot in Indonesia is the one I’m most worried about – It’s listed as a 6.9 magnitude quake and it’s the third quake within 20 hours – & one or two days ago there was a 6.0 quake in South or Central America. I’m trying to multitask right now – so if I stop and look it up I might not get any of my many projects on today’s ‘to do’ list accomplished. Maybe later I’ll come back here and edit that information in… it is pertinent. I’m trying to remember which student of Earth Changes told us that the best information he had was that a chain of Earthquakes at 6.0 and greater would begin in Japan and work around counter-clockwise all the way around the ‘ring of fire’ and when that chain of earthquakes reached San Francisco, that would be the ‘Big One’ everybody’s been dreading, predicting and dreaming about for the past sixty years or so. {  “Eeep!”  }

— Um, I gotta go, but I’ll come back and finish this a.s.a.p. —

Sunlight highlighting high branches in a tree

– Sunlight touching the higher branches of a neighbourhood tree at about 8:45 pm on the 4th of July up here. –

— We were walking the dog and liked the effects of sunlight highlighting selective branches high in some trees around us on Nora’s birthday 🙂 – The above photo was taken with a 4x zoom. The wider photo didn’t capture the effect.

deck visulaization 01.

– We laid out several pallets to get a good feel for what we want to do with wider / longer deck along the side of the house. –

— This summer has been ‘not so good’ for getting things done outside. My over the counter allergy medicine stopped working and we’ve had quite a lot of rainy days, so I was either coughing my brains out or avoiding getting rained on. But today we finally went outside, looked at what we’ve got here, looked at plans on line and decided that not all of our pallets are wonderful building material for the deck we want to extend – but we wanted to see how they measure up. One thing about pallets is they’re not all the same size, or quality – and the ones we’ve been told are free for the taking quite often get picked over before we get there. But this looks hopeful. We might even be able to do this if I can breathe outside and nobody’s building an ark and collecting animals two by two …. 😉

getting a view of possible future deck.

– Another view of our visualization exercise –

— The thing that looks like a small lean-to / shed amid the pallets is a quick and dirty trash can enclosure to keep the raccoons out of the trash. But even with the pallets not being the ones we will use when we do this, and the pallets also being of several different sizes, this looks extremely do-able.

Wild Morning sky.

– Another wild morning sky – this was at 5:44 am on June 30th. –

— Let’s see, one of our favourite late night talk show guys told us that the ‘bad guys’ who were messing up weather patterns with ‘chem-trails’ have been disenfranchised, told to cease and desist – And wow, we’ve been getting a lot of ‘different’ early morning and late evening sky effects since we heard that. This is unretouched – I think the only time I ever saw yellow clouds were out in the Atlantic Ocean – a little too close to the Bermuda Triangle for my jangled nerves at the time.

Larkspurs

– One of last year’s plants didn’t make it through the winter – but we saw these amazing ‘midnight sky’ coloured Larkspurs and ‘Yum!’ – they look happy here. –

— We get most of our plants when the ‘garden shops’ that spring up in ‘super store’ parking lots are trying to get rid of stuff they haven’t yet sold at full price. 😉 -These Larkspurs stood up and grabbed our attention and yeah, we love the colour.

view from the street.

– From the street. That’s our local species of cedar tree and the flowers that survived the winter along with the Larkspurs we just added. – Yum? –

— Um, the five plants between the tree and the road here, are , um, baby’s breath or bridal wreath on the left, um, I forgot to its right, the Larkspurs in the middle, a cool plant with I think variegated leaves and small flowers and then a dwarf lilac that’s supposed to bloom all summer.

Pansies

– And the pansies we planted in honour of my mother are thriving –

— We thought the pansies we planted because they were special to my mother got off to a slow start this spring, but, apparently, they like the weather we’ve been having and seem to be quite happy with the love and attention we give them.  🙂

— Um, That’s probably enough blogging damage for now —

Tuesday, April 18th, 2017 – We Had a Slight Dusting of Snow – & Some Worrisome Predictions From ‘Psychic Spies’

Tuesday, April 18th, 2017  —> -1˚C / +29˚F —> Grey & Damp @ 5:02 am in Atlantic Canada —> Thinkin’ today might be Bill Randall’s Birthday —

Lotsa young deer enjoying their 'committee' breakfast.

– We’ve had the younger deer showing up in droves the last couple days. Cathi thought the mothers might be close to ‘calving’ time and the kids might be on their own and looking for the easiest or best tasting grazing they know about. You can also see the light dusting of snow we got overnight here –

— Stayed up late to listen to ‘Major Ed’ forecast doom and gloom for the near future on planet Earth. He sounds like he thinks we may be in for another near extinction event here. The North Koreans will most likely set off nukes underground, or delivered through underground tunnels into the South, and most likely wipe Seoul off the map and then have a trap waiting for whatever South Korean troops try to retaliate and set off another nuke in a tunnel. This will probably wipe several North Korean towns and villages off the map, but their “Spoiled Brat” leader, who has proclaimed himself a god,  doesn’t care about small things like his own people, he just wants to keep the power and glory to himself. Several people I know ‘see’ a possible behind the scenes coup taking out the current head of the North Korean Government, but our favourite Remote Viewer and his team doesn’t see that as a probability.

— In other prognostication news: Fukushima has released plumes of radioactive poison that will ‘keep on giving’ – the airborne plume will gradually mess up Vancouver and make much of British Columbia un-live-able. While the plumes in the Pacific Ocean will pretty much kill the Pacific, turn it into a dead ocean. Other sources have told us that Extra-Terrestrials have technology that can ‘eat’ or at least absorb the radio-activity and keep the ocean alive and save many of us from starving to death and going nuts and killing for food, but they can’t act unless enough of us know they’re there and ask for their help. { As in something quite like the “Prime Directive” from Star Trek. } {{ My take on this: The major problem here is the ‘powers who believe they be’ here on Earth are so caught up in trying to maintain their power over everybody else on this planet, they don’t want us to know about any life they can’t control and they’re perfectly willing to let you and your children die so they can delude themselves into thinking they’re rich and powerful and therefore deserve to rule every little detail of your life. —> One possible alternative to knowing that ET’s are out there and willing to help if we ask is/might be: If enough of us pray for help that help might show up in ‘flying saucers’ instead of on the wings of ‘Angels’ —> Or, Praying for help, in time to save the planet from a real nasty bunch of years and a severe loss of life down here in the third dimension/physical universe might have powerful forces step in and do something without revealing whether they are ET’s or Angels. }}

— There are better worlds to reincarnate into. +/or ‘The next world’/’After-Life’ could be a lot nicer for many of us, but look around and see how wonderfully many of us are treating our fellow humans and every other form of life on planet Earth and try to guess how many of us here and now might have to come back to a really nasty waste land and suffer intensely for what they have done and will do in the near future.

— How the heck can I find something positive and hopeful after hearing about and thinking about the stuff I just reported/relayed to you {above} ? — Shrug – The deer in the above photos, while reasonably skittish, did seem to smile thankfully at me as I brought them a bucket of oats and tossed that out to them early this morning. I shot the photo that is above at 6:51 am. —> 651 was the number of the LST my father served on in the Pacific in World War II. Ya think he’s trying to tell me something?

— {{{ & P.S. —> The white deer showed up a little while after I shot the above photo. }}} —

— Calling all Angels & “Beings of the Light” & Advanced, powerful, highly evolved ET’s who can help us: “HELP!”

— Thanks, have a nice day — Sweet dreams — ,

After Blue Monday — What Colour is Tuesday?

Tuesday, January 17th, 2017 —> -3˚C / +26˚F & grey & damp @ 8:33 am in Atlantic Canada —

Giant Alligator in Florida

– When this video was announced on the radio somebody commented — “Maybe that’s a Dinosaur-” — The above is a copied and pasted screenshot, not a video link. –

— This morning started out at -3˚C / +26˚F and was supposed to cool down to -6˚C / +20˚F by afternoon – After seeing a link to this video I fed the pets, did a few things, sent email to Cathi, received a message back – { there was a fire on Canada Street that blocked her usual road to work this morning and she replied that she came back to our street, got out of traffic, plugged in our GPS thingy, waited for it to charge enough to work, and followed directions – and only got to work 10 minutes late – She was lucky 🙂 } After this I fell asleep and the 125 pound dog came over and cuddled up next to me – I dreamed that alligators had crawled in bed with me and I nearly panicked and woke up kicking at phantom alligators.

Jobs generated by clean versus dirty technologies.

– This is a newer version of something I saw a couple years ago – Lobbyists lie – oil and gas companies lie when they say their companies generate good jobs –

— My friend, Doug, said it first and I’ve repeated it way too often – “If a politician mentions the word ‘Jobs’ you can bet that everything that comes out of his [ or her ] mouth is a lie.”

Pipeline Protesters attacked with tear gas and rubber bullets in North Dakota

– The above video will not play from here – As they were walking away from police they were shot in the back with rubber bullets and had tear gas canisters fired at them – So they hit their drums and sang as they walked. –

— In all fairness [ or at least trying to be fair ] The police and National Guard believe what they’ve been told – that the protesters are mean spirited evil dupes of would be terrorists etc. who are trying to make sure the good people of their region are cheated out of jobs and decent livelihoods. On the other side – The Native Americans / First Nations /  Ecologically Tuned-In / conspiracy researching people who are doing the protesting are trying to protect Native American land and drinkable water from accidental and/or possibly deliberate pollution/poisoning by evil, string-pulling, manipulating, ‘beedy grastards’, who may have ‘sold their souls’ to a twisted ‘cabal’ of power-mad elitists who make Adolph Hitler look like a boy scout. { I am not taking a side in this example – I just want to tell you what I see, hear and feel when I learn about events like this one. }  {{ I will admit that, lately, I tend to believe the protesters – because those that I have met in person are more credible and less mean spirited, and *do not* have the attitude that if you don’t accept their words as God’s ultimate truth, whether they are telling the truth or not, they have the right to beat you to death with extreme prejudice. Quite a few military types and para-military types that I have met do have that attitude. }}

— Um, I conked out and woke up just before Cathi came home, then conked out again and woke up after 11:00 pm — it is now almost a quarter to midnight.

Jimmy Church and the Coast To Coast AM Studio?

– Last night’s guest host on Coast To Coast A.M. – Jimmy Church — I confused him with another guest host from the L.A. L.A. land area who is more like my age { ‘Ancient’ ? } –

— Yes, last night’s C2C-am broadcast was interesting, I’ll have to go over it again. Minor Problem = It did keep me awake all night 🙂 – But that’s not all that unusual -?

— Today dawned bright and bitterly cold here in New Brunswick. I took 3 bags of recycling bottles and cans to the local recycling station and came home $8,++ richer { “Whooopeee” ? } But did stop off and got coffee & muffins for the love of my life and me – Then conked out and slept in front of the teevee monitor dreaming about the ‘Dangerous Journeys of the Disciples’ as they appeared slightly less vividly out there in the ‘real world’ of television? (( on the H2 second History Channel up here ))  — Good old ‘Doubting Thomas’ didn’t want to go to India? He would have rather stayed in what is now Israel and been martyred there? Anyway, the dreams were gory – And maybe life in those days was worse than my dreams.

Jimmy Church Tweet

– How do you get through an intense time at work? This guy binges on candy bars and coffee – Gee, we might be related? – or at least have similar work ethics –

— They talked about conspiracies – ‘the Cabal versus the Alliance’ (?) – and billed the interview as a discussion including the possiblity that Atlantis might have been where Antarctica now is? — My take is ‘Atlantis’ was bigger than just its home continent – which probably became an island after they tried to attack China with a powerful laser by shooting it down, through good old planet earth – and discovered to their chagrin that they were sitting over massive pockets of ‘natural gas’ underground, which exploded and ripped their continent apart ( in the area that is now the Atlantic Ocean – with a lot of evidence that the capital of their civilization was somewhere between Bimini Island and Europe ) There may be lots of left-over ruins under the ice @ Antarctica – But I bet that might have been a city / continent with Atlantean cities etc. but I don’t think it was the main centre of their civilization.

— David mentioned “Pizzagate” – which I had to look up =—> ” Pizzagate is a debunked[2][3] conspiracy theory that emerged during the 2016 United States presidential election cycle alleging that John Podesta‘s emails, which were leaked by WikiLeaks, contain coded messages referring to human trafficking and connecting a number of restaurants in the United States and members of the Democratic Party with a fabricated child-sex ring. It has been extensively discussed in the media and discredited by a wide array of sources across the political spectrum, described as a “fictitious conspiracy theory” by the District of Columbia Police Department and determined to be false by multiple organizations including Snopes.com, The New York Times, and Fox News. ” <— From wikipedia. I have no idea at this point whether any of their links were copied and pasted here well enough to actually work.

— & with all the still undigested information [ undigested by me, so far ] from last night — and everything I heard David Wilcock say — I am reminded of something that Jesse Ventura said numerous times, —> “Conspiricy is not a theory, it’s a crime!” && The ‘Fake-Stream Media’ are the folks controlled by the ‘Cabal’ (???) who label anything they don’t like as “Fake News” [ ??? ( gotta think about this a lot and probably do a lot of ‘Reality Testing’ before I endorse this stuff as being ‘True’ or come out and scream ‘It’s a lie!’ —> But that’s just me – I wanna know what I’m talking about before I go on the record? I will, however, talk about what I’m thinking about and let anybody around me know that I’m thinking about it and don’t necessarily believe it is the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth… ]

— Have I confused you enough yet?

There were bears in the news today – Apparently a lot of black bears have moved into the forests that are reclaiming land that was abandoned when a lot of New England farms were run out of business by Corporate Fascists – [ ??? ]

— Good Night for now —>
