I gave up^ listening to the news, reading my daily newspaper, it was making me sick, reading about all that murder and mayhem. This is to you Mr. Assad : You, personally, bombed your own country into rubble, just because your people decided to stand up^ for their rights, as human beings, to not be robbed of their life by a little tin-god dictator. How many have you killed? 500,000, 1 million?. You, Sir, should be on your knees begging for forgiveness in public, you even invited in the Russians (Mr. Putin) to test his newest weapons out on YOUR OWN PEOPLE! ~~~~~And Yemen, again bombed with American made bombs, people dying of starvation, Cholera, a whole country going up^ in flames, because of another little, petty tyrant not getting his way……All of those War-Planes are Made in USA. Are we proud of that? “Everyone’s values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to other’s” William Greider….. ~~~~~And what are all those people fleeing from, risking their lives to cross the Mediterranean Sea to get into Europe? Little tin gods, that is what they are fleeing from, Armed to the teeth by this good old USA, Happily selling weapons to anyone with the money to pay! Who am I to Judge? Perhaps our Sun will decide not to shine for us this morning. Perhaps a cold spell is coming, but I still think all of the GREED MEN should be on their knees, begging for forgiveness. All of those lives lost, at such a great cost……

I still retain the ability to think for myself, therefore I write blogs looking for some-one to hold a discourse with... For example our local library here in Homer, Alaska just was gifted an Oxford English Dictionary set of 20 volumes. What a Great Gift... This is the essence of life: " To gift a Great Gift." The .org: Building the House of Mankind. The most important thing right now, that we have to do is make sure our children have a good livable, planet, which means we have to start cleaning up the mess we have made of this home of ours....

LWBUT, I thought it nice that you went back in time to read one of my “Older” Posts,….This old man climbed up^ on his roof to clean the chimney, tore his fifty years old stove apart and completely rebuilt it, hauled in fire-wood, emptied the “slop’s” bucket, survived another day of “Living on Planet Earth” And still found time to send YOU a note. I even washed the dirty dishes, so I could have a clean pot to cook my beans in! I might make it to Ninety! Or Not, no-body knows when their brave heart is going to stop beating for them…..Only Time and Fate know……You are a kindred heart, my new-found Brother! Stay in touch, but only if you desire to do so……

We are headed into Saturn’s Day now, It is a beautiful site, those Rings, that incredible speed of rotation, how did that come to be without a Great Spirit’s Creation?

I have owned at least one telescope ever since i was 8. I’ve seen those rings with my own eyes (i even managed to capture them with my camera recently!)
The rings shine so bright and yet they are just a lot of droplets of frozen ice no more than a large tree height in thickness!
It is a beautiful sight for sure, but i wonder, apart from just showing off, why would the Creative spirit put such a beautiful thing where next to no living being gets to see it in anything like it’s true glory?
The Lord certainly works in very mysterious ways (to me) at times.

I think this site is having some problems, at first I could not post this comment, and then it posted twice, sorry about that! I am going over to Medium, I do not write blogs on there as I have not been able to figure out all of the Rules, so I just make comments, which for some reason have a limit imposed on them……?????

Hey! Bob, here is what I am eating today: 1/3rd of a banana, one 20+ years old package of top-Ramen, noodles, with some neighbor gifted zucchini and onion sliced in, I am a happy man! Add a splash of Soy Sauce, a sprinkle of Pepper, enjoy! I learned many years ago, that “Three Squares a day” was a lie, I eat maybe, one meal a day, with a tiny snack, and I seem to be doing just fine. Two eggs, over easy, a muffin and a slice of cheese, good for a whole day! This allows me to save up a heap of of change! I only shop for Food once a month. I could never understand why my kids had to go to the store every-day? Have you noticed how the canned foods have gone from 16 ounces to 12 ounces, and still charged the same price? This is the Greed Machine doing it’s finest work! From: Random thought on Food and Eating, a book not yet written……

Hey! Bob, I was thinking of you! You are 10,000 miles away from me on the other side of this wonderful World, your day is my night! I am waiting for my coal man to show up^ with a load of precious coal, which I only burn on cold, cold days, my wood-men are appearing out of no-where, tomorrow is my Birth-Day, 74 years here! I have read like, 10,000 books, I am the King of Readers; I can find the miss-spelled word in a thousand page book! Put that in your pipe and smoke it; lay back and Enjoy!
