- Sasquatch in South Carolina
-
I was looking over the meager sasquatch stuff on youtube this weekend and happened to query the animal and south carolina in an effort to see if anything compelling might be found.
I'm happy to to say that the content was quite a bit less than I might have wished for and there was nothing compelling to be found with only hayseed vagery and hickesque father and son babel of no consequence.
Talk about totally goofy.
I had encountered a compelling supposedly "real" photograph a few months back allegedly taken on Lake Marion (some 40 miles away) which showed a dog with a tuft of raised fur between it's shoulder blades and tail tucked between it's legs confronting a juvenile appearing animal unmistakingly sasquatchy and that was actually the underlying motivation for all this waste of time otherwise.
So, if there are a breeding pair of sasquatch in the Lake Marion area all I can say is more power to you and I hope you don't get shot by some insipid inbred goofy South Carolinian and his twangy countrified son out to disgust the world with their lack of command of the english language and utter insipid irrelevance otherwise.
Shoot ... and I thought there might be at least ONE item which might be just a LITTLE thought provoking.
So much for thinking.

It hurts me to think of 'home' now compared to what it once was.
Early on home was family. Home was belonging.
Home was happiness though sometimes trouble ...
Now 'home' is alone.
When I depart work I head straight for that solitude of my little humble acre in West Columbia. I try to maintain some semblance of upkeep in an effort to make it as pleasant a destination as possible.
But still my isolation provides a modicum of rest from those stressors associated with the workaday world. It's a difficult matter to associate loneliness with a break from the hectic schedule of the workday ... But that's what it is.
People try to engage me in various social situations that I rebuff and it's a severe reaction borne of poor choices in friends to the point that anymore I simply cannot be bothered.
My extreme lifestyle may change as life is not a static entity but evolves in the ever changing ebb and flow of comings and goings in day to day living.
I keep my options open but I'm not expecting any earth shattering changes.

- This Williamson POTUS Candidacy
-
This Marianne Deborah Williamson has a following. She has been in the public eye for a long time now. I have always viewed her as some new age weirdo out to market herself and sell books and such. I find her advice to be mostly a lot of lovey dovey drivel and I have questioned her sincerity a number of times over the years when I found her in the threads.
She is presently a democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States, a position for which I feel she is unqualified.
IMHO she touts a lot of that socialist aspect which disqualifies her from both chief executive and commander in chief.
Her platform is on her candidacy web site and that too contains elements which totally disqualify her from heading the constitutional part of our nation.
I feel that the military industrial complex and that agenda of the deep state shadow government would wrap her around their fingers as they did the brigand Obama, the two traitor Bush predecessors, and the Clinton robber crooks.
She has a number of touchy feely aspects which sound good to many but are never going to happen ... like reparations. When the Egyptians pay reparations to the Jews it will be time for the United States to pay reparations to the ancestors of past slaves.
It's a one sided street anyway.
She thinks she can traverse the cravasse from author/lecturer/activist to supreme allied commander with her new age positions on real time matters of state.
She has a failed candidate history and really nothing to offer in the form of real leadership which is what we need and finally elected into the White House after repeated episodic stupidity, subterfuge, and profiteering by multiple administrations running the show.
The left can lie about Mr Trump all they want. He has been a refreshing change from the crooks and stupidity of the past administrations and I still will vote for him in 2020. I don't believe Ms Williamson has a chance. We'll see how things go and just how crazy the electorate is anymore.
Platform Elements
US Dept of Children and Youth Child Advocacy Climate Crisis Crime Prevention Criminal Justice Democracy at Risk Education Food Gun Safety Health Care Immigration LGBTQ Rights Mass Incarceration National Security and Peace Building National Service Native American Justice Racial Reconciliation and Healing Reproductive Rights Social Security The Economy The Reparations Plan Veterans Women's Rights
I question these as too much New Age false flag smoke screen/pie in the sky rhetoric ... but also feel that others should form their own opinions as required. - Comments (0)

- Patrick Bouvier Kennedy
-
When I was a kid we mourned the loss of the infant child of President John F Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
He was born on August 7, 1963 and passed August 9, 1963.
He lived a very short life due to hyaline membrane disease, a disease of newborns which affects the alveoli of the lungs ...
His life spanned somewhat longer than 39 hours and there were extreme heroics involved in trying to save him which were to no avail.
This child was the younger brother of Caroline and John Jr, my contemporaries and so I naturally had empathy for them and their family.
Plus, I was an engaged, patriotic child as many Navy brats find themselves as we are immersed in those militaristic aspects of life and my perspective had been cultivated from them.
Little did we know at this sad time that his father, President John F Kennedy would be murdered in a Dallas motorcade a scant three months later.
Rest in peace.

- International Cat Day 2019
-
It's International Cat Day for all you cat people out there. Yeah, you know who you are. You little old ladies milling about the yard with cats rubbing up against you twitching their tails to and fro.
Me, never was much of a cat person. Now we did have cats growing up living on the farm in Salley, SC with my sister taking the lead on that. Funny, now she's a pomeranian person and REALLY dotes on that animal.
She named him Teddy and it's all really nauseating as well with the little blue bows and such.
So some also call this day "World Cat Day" and Russia celebrates the day on March first while the United States observes not only this particular cat day but also a separate National Cat Day on the 29th of October.
Never was one to share cat pictures and videos for any reason. Never thought there was a bonafide reason to participate in such fluff.
My issues surround the neighborhood cats who feel that my yard is their personal litter box, hunting territory, and general nusiance creation area for years now. Step in cat excrement once too many times and you cultivate this extremely negative 'tude.
My patience wears thin and so on two occasions I caught an animal and took it to the shelter on Ballpark Road in Lexington — ostensibly to have it euthanized.
On my second trip I got these continuous stares from a lovely little red headed young lady sporting green fatigues and a glock on her hip. I'm sure others may have been intimidated but all I did was look back on her; complacent in my resolve to have this little habitual offender executed and voila ... signed his death warrant on my way out the door.
Needless to say, I'm out of patience. I try not to go there but eventually my button will be pushed in the absence of owner control.
Mom says nobody can control a cat. I'm saying well, at least I can trap them and have the vermin exterminated.

- Being Mean in Today's Political Madness
-
I resolved long ago to attempt the "kinder, gentler" orientation whereas early on I was routinely raucous and combative as a matter of daily living.
Now, being one to have opinions and voice them without fear is a function of that residual pluck secondary to my life's history and all that I've seen and all of the amazing falsehood and fakery in the world.
I've seen the stupid human beings sporting their advanced degrees as though they were really more than the dysfunctional dolts they really are bragging all the time about their superiority yet lacking the basic skills to perform in the 21st century schizoid world.
Every day I contend with those who would smile in my face and stab me in the back as soon as I walk away in the name of that bogus reality pursuant to fake news, those radical leftist notions of democrats everywhere and the lunatic fringe such as antifa and the dreaded social justice warriors out to impose their sick will on the rest of us.
I oppose the deep state and shadow government created by those mistaken human beings Harry Truman as the result of the National Security Act of 1947 and Dwight D Eisenhower who failed the Republic at every turn.
I detest the liars in goverment who attempt to subvert our laws for their own political and personal gain.
I resent the stupidity of lawmakers like the rude Maxine Waters, the stupid Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
The idiot Cory Booker is beneath my contempt as are all the stupid South Carolinians in Orangeburg who chose to attend a meet and greet in his honor.
We have regressed as the result of the left and their socialism and we need to de-Bernie our nation yesterday.
Those voters who placed these miscreants in office are the issue and part and parcel of that stupid Jerry Brown moonbeam mentality the world would be better off without.
So I continue speak my mind without fear because I can back up my smack with a devastaingly accurate head shot but prefer a life in the background and quite technical pursuits.
This leaves how I feel as expressed in the blog for which I make no apolgies.
As far as I am concerned personally my opinions are my own and I decline to attempt any force of them on anyone for any reason.
I am who I am and I know what I know. Other lesser entities will have to contend with me if they think they're going to take me to task.
I'm going my own way. You do the same.

- Saturday Massacre at El Paso
-
Intolerance raised it's ugly head once again resulting in murder.
There were twenty people senselessly murdered and many more injured at a Walmart located at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas.
Those victims ranged from a two year old through an 82 year old and the underlying tragedy continues to grow as details continue to be revealed.
The perp is identified as one Patrick Crusius, a 21 native of Allen Texas who was taken into custody without incident on charges of capital murder.
The feds are investigating the incident as domestic terrorism and it appears as if he did indeed attack with intent on "coercing and intimidating a civilian population".
Hate crimes and federal fireams charges against Crusius are under consideration and they carry the death penalty if convicted.
All of this goes down a scant 15 hours before yet another gun toting psycho killed 9 and wounded several dozen in Dayton Ohio.
Crusius pretty much spilled his guts regarding motivations and ended up telling investigators he was out to shoot as many Mexicans as possible according to law enforcement.
Officials described the confiscation of an "assault type" rifle with several magazine. However, these identifications are quite a bit off frequently anymore and I await more information before I believe this particular assertion.
Now officials in Mexico claim that they will take "legal action" regarding this incident as if that's supposed to be meaningful or helpful at all.
The bottom line is these sick individuals and criminals in general are always able to obtain any weapons they may afford and gun control laws are never going to prevent this.
Besides, you're more likely to get killed by either a cartel member or the police in Mexico anyway.
That introspection of my harsh thoughts for Mexico and Mexicans are tempered with tragedies such as this.
For all my posturing and rants I would never hurt anyone I didn't think was actively trying to hurt me ... I'll bet the victims here were taken by surprise as well.
Active shooter needs to be a training course for Walmart employees anymore. Even that may not prevent such terrible tragedies such as this El Paso massacre.
I hope the victims and their families find whatever comfort may be had and that the perpetrator is dealt with swiftly and severely in accordance with the law.
Texas executes murderers.

- Google Remains a Dastardly Political Dirtbag
-
As if they need anything else to make them look bad, a former engineer says Google will try to prevent the Trump reelection in 2020.
This is the absolute pit of unacceptable bad behavior and will utlimately result in their breakup because there are too many of us who absolutely will not put up with their interference without making it an issue at every turn ANYMORE.
This steaming platter of dung continues to raise it's horrid stench in a world which has enough problems already.
They're opening the door for competition in the form of companies who simply don't engage in trying to manipulate the electorate via algorithm.
That stupidity which is the internet user base is not quite as bad as it was because people are starting to realize who meddles and who does not.
Alphabet, Google, and Youtube are on their way out. Take enough profits in the form of fines and all of a sudden you find yourself unable to continue operations.
What do that call that inability to benefit from past mistakes stupid leftist google et al?
The word is STUPID and we have a leg up on you.
Personally, I decline to be your bitch.

- Coast Guard Day 2019
-
I did my military service in the Navy.
I was fine on active duty but really slacked off during my Reserve time.
All-in-all I was more than ready to get out at discharge.
I think this may have disappointed my father, who had an illustrious and stellar career but no sons who chose to follow in his footsteps.
I have a friend at work who is in the Coast Guard doing Reserve time.
She is a Chief Petty Officer, a rank to which I never aspired in the Navy.
She does her Reserve time in Virginia and dutifully travels there each and every time she is scheduled to do so.
While we both do computer work in our civilian lives she works in technology in the military as well.
We rather hit it off and have been compadres in adjacent offices of late.
I like her because she treats me as though I am actually a worthwhile human being instead of some automaton from which various things are required during the work day ...
which is not something I've really been used to in the present environment.
We also indulge a spot of EmergenC frequently to stave off the various ills which may strike at us in the office while we mill about with the less health conscious.
Today is Coast Guard Day.
It is held every August 4 in commemoration of the founding of the United States Coast Guard as the Revenue Marine on August 4, 1790 Alexander Hamilton who was Secretary of the Treasury at that time.
It was then that the Congress of the US authorized the building of a fleet of the first ten Revenue Service cutters to enforce the tariff laws enacted by the Congress under the Constitution of the United States.
So Chief ... this is your day. Happy Coast Guard Day to you.

I've never been a football fan.
Charles Aaron "Bubba" Smith
February 28, 1945 – August 3, 2011
I haven't ever sat down and watched a game willingly and have only done so in polite deference to those with whom I was visiting on those few occasions I did submit.
When I was in high school Bubba Smith was a biggie among my peers in the pit of the hellhole of the world, Goose Creek High School in Duck Ditch, South Carolina 29445.
He was often a topic of discussion and I dare say over the years I cultivated a respect for the man who crossed boundaries and was generally a great guy in addition to his career as pro footballer.
My particular favorites were a number of commercial spots he did which were witty and worldly and of course the Police Academy franchise simply would not have been the same without him.
It was not known until after his passing that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a neurological condition generally related to repeated concussion and sub-concussive head trauma such as that he incurred as the result of his ball play.
Here's to a great man who went down hard. Rest in peace.

- The Butt Crack of Dawn
-
Early rising.
This is a facet of my existence.
During the work week lately I am milking that alarm clock until the last possible moment when I arise and take my initial regimen of supplements then shower, primp, and get out the door.
"Primp ?"
My gosh, I never viewed myself as much of a primper.
However, my present employment requires a presentation that no other has ever required.
Before this time my standard attire was a tee shirt (with a pocket, of course) with gaberdines and whatever shoes I had laying around.
Since injectig myself into the civil world I too have attempted to present civility and wear dress shirts with ties and more appropriate trousers and shoes.
My aim is for those with whom I work to gather that I take my job seriously and I don't want to be thought of as some slouch.
During the weekends and holidays my schedule automatically adjusts itself to the "off work" state.
I typically arise in the 4 to 6 am range usually on the earlier side of things, make myself a pot of coffee in my five cup drip pot and get on with the business of cleaning up and making things around the house tidy.
This always starts with a 4 hour or so Roomba run and going around and picking up those articles of clothing that sometimes get somewhat scattered.
I take my laundry to Ed Robinson's and pick up the last drop off.
The remainder of the day involves me in putzing around the house in a total lack direction aside from those few item I list on my to do list.
The afternoons likely catch me napping for an hour or two and then I vege out in front of the teevee or indulge a spate of coding if I become inspired — which has been happening more frequently of late.
It seems I like to write those features unavailable in the blog rather than 'do without' as I have in the oldie but baddie php days.
So this enchanted life moves on down the road and I love those forays which start at the butt crack of dawn because I feel that I get a lot done at those times.

- World Scout Scarf Day 2019
-
The Scouts have been ruined by the left. They have taken the organization and slathered in their denial of biology and allowed females into the boy scouts.
By all logic I possess this is a fundamental mistake and condemns that leadership which allowed it to happen.
IMHO nothing good will come of renaming the boy scouts to satisfy some pc libtard moron's successful quest to incite ruination.
Today is World Scout Scarf Day. It is designed "to encourage active and former Scouts worldwide to wear their neckerchiefs in public annually to symbolize the Scout promise and the spirit of Scouting".
The promise of scouting no longer exists. It's been ruined by the leadership of the BSA who were unable to be good stewards of the spirit of scouting.
I will never value nor honor my time in the boy scouts again.
Thank you for ruining scouting you limp wrist subservient no character wussie cretins.

- Black Moon Tonight
-
Tonight we will have what is known as a 'black moon'. The name of this phenomenon is not really common mainstream astronomy.
The term has been popularized by astrologers, and followers of the Wicca, and of course in the mindless banter of social media.
Black Moons are significant in some pagan religions. There are those who believe certain actions become more potent when performed on the night of the ocurrence of a Black Moon.
I view all of this occult nonsense as drivel and my underlying awakening to the possibilities of paranormal occurrences really hasn't moved that opinion either way.
Black Moon has specific definitions referenced in astronomy:
The third New Moon in an astronomical season with four New Moons or ...
The second New Moon in the same calendar month ...
The term might also refer to every new Moon inasmuch as we see only the lunar dark or black side.
Officially, this particular black Moon will occur at 11:13 p.m. EDT in the western hemisphere and after midnight on August first in the eastern hemisphere.
While this moon thingie is significant in certain circles the reality of those gravitational forces remain and it's really just another albeit darker night for me personally — not to belittle the event or anything.

- Paul Anka

Today is the birthday of Paul Albert Anka a Canadian-American singer, songwriter and actor of Syrian and Lebanese descent.
He punctuated my life with a lot of AM 'oldies' type stuff when I was a kid.
I recall his duet with Paula and their quasi love songs.
He gained fame with a string of hits "Diana", "Lonely Boy", "Put Your Head on My Shoulder", and "Having My Baby".
There was quite a spate of absence during his career up to a point he would reappear with some song which sold well.
He did pieces for television, advertising, and his work has been covered by big name acts throughout his career.
He was a part of my musical listening for as long as I can remember up until early adulthood.
Paul Anka became a naturalized US citizen in 1990.
