Rant of the Day……

WTF!! MF’s!!
After another journey deep into the soul of my spirit in a desert close by but far enough away to not live in, or be herded into, quite yet.
Two and a half weeks on the outskirts of Phoenix camping with only one trip back to the decarlosdanger HQ to gather the Mrs. and the pooches, who need a shave now as the weather has turned over early here in the booming metroplex that is the Sierra Vista, Arizona area. The pooches are the ones in need a shave, get your mind out of the gutter.
Spoke with a few salt of the earth people up there on the other side of the OD Green Line. Folks Like Claudia, who lives in North Central Phoenix. She needed some assistance with her solar panels and getting her pick up truck back home after she took the motorhome back. Claudia is a die-hard race fan, she is of the age that some of her fondest memories are attending races with her now grown Son. Her Son, has a conflict of interest in my eyes, but it doesn’t concern him at all. He drives a beautiful Roush Ford Mustang with a tag labeling the operator of the vehicle as a fan of the Ryan Newman operated machine. This lady would go for her walk around the area of racetrack and its associated camping areas and then stop by for a freshly perked cup of coffee in the morning. It was great to socialize with someone of such wisdom and grace.
Our conversations crossed the gambit of politics, the good old days, gardening, and the dynamic reuse of food and food items. Politically, oddly enough this lady who is near twenty years and change more advanced in collecting the wisdom of the world than that of the author currently hunting and pecking attempting to scribe my thoughts and memories. When she inquired about my personal thoughts on Liberty, I stated as long as no one is hurt nor property stolen or damaged I find no reason for the private exchange of Value to be anyone’s business beyond those who exchanged value.
Claudia agreed that times like that have existed before and that she like I would like to see them exist once more in the communities and neighborhoods around the State of Arizona and the country as a whole. We also agreed that we were more likely to trust another human being whom we are politically opposed to than any agent of government. We agreed that NASCAR and politics are two peas in a pod. When NASCAR see’s one team out performing the others by too much of a degree, enforcement of the minutest details will be applied until a level of pain is reached that eliminates further desire for competition. Sort of like a financial war with Big Brother and its printing press. That is a sure loser, they have an unlimited supply as long as the ink and the paper are available. The banks get the $$ from gov’t and its shell game, sort of like NASCAR did prior to taking or appropriately being acquired by the lowest bidder? Who holds the investment capital, holds the strings, would you rather be the puppeteer or the puppet? Or does one need to learn the craft and trade of a puppet in order to become a more or most effective puppeteer?
Gardening tip from Claudia, place bottom of celery stalk base in water once cleaned for consumption and it will sprout roots for planting in a garden and the cycle of feeding us will and can continue with minimal impact on our personal property and wealth. Sort of like a saw an old man say on youtube a few years back “Growing your own food is like printing your own money.
We also talked about how even Styrofoam can be reused in a way that will allow for the extention of the early growing season. The reason that I have yet to start is that despite the glorious sunny and delightful weather here in Arizona there is traditionally one last freeze prior to the end of March. Sierra Vista is after all nearly 4700 ft in elevation.
With that on my mind I would like to mention our friends over at EverGreenCoin EGC, and wish them success in both their Solar Staker system and the other go fund me pages of noble deeds and causes with regards to the environment, to include gardening that we just mentioned with my experience with Claudia.
After all one thing that Claudia and I did agree on is this one thing. Life is too short to burn bridges. So I have this woman’s wisdom to thank for not mailing the RNC survey back with $.02 taped to the label with the handwritten and boxed label with a fully filled in box mark next to the words “Repeal Obamacare”. Yeah, sometimes silence is a better method of dissent, since the questions were divisive and exclusionary on purpose.
Based on feedback from folks that facebook videos were a bit of success at spreading the word, so look forward to more of those in the future.
In summary I learned the following with my week long visitations over coffee with my trailerhood neighbor who is nearly thirty yrs my senior. We know the past, we see the repetition, it is as if we can see the next play prior to the next action. Since the plan of execution may change, but the Mission and Vision remain the same. They must, for if not then there has been nothing more than a waste of effort on my part defending the Liberty from the evil Empires of third world dictators, and the former Secret Police State of the Soviet Union. All the fingerprints of a Communist Secret Police State as efficient as the KGB suspectfully was in the 1940-present time are now omnipresent at every level government that you can identify as you take a moment and look around to assess your situation.
Without being emotional or distracted, your move is next. Study the playing field to determine where and when to enter the field of play for the best opportunity at success.
So quit your whining and well if you feel that way do something about it……..
WTF= Welcome to Freedom MF= My Friends
