Queen Elizabeth I died 415 Years Ago
Queen Elizabeth I was a historical figure which I studied more than others growing up. Something about the theatrical performances with her saying "Lop off his head" simply intrigued me and all these executions by beheading were in that vein of interests of a young boy attempting to be more worldly than he actually was.

When I traveled to London while in the Navy I was sure to visit all those places of my imagination ... the palaces, the cathedrals, and I viewed every grave of note I could think of during those few days.

I must have stayed in Westminster Abbey for at least four hours and by the time I returned to the ship I was both exhausted and famished — and immensely happy to have made the travels of the day.

Elizabeth I Tomb Effigy    
Queen Elizabeth I died on this day in 1603 at Richmond Palace, London from "blood poisoning" after a period of decline in her personal life, health, and politics.

She fell into a deep sleep while being attended by her staff from which she never awoke.

Her passing was described as occurring "mildly like a lamb" and "easily".

She is interred in the Henry VII Chapel of Westminster Abbey, London United Kingdom.

Near Miss Day
    Artist Rendering of 4581 Asclepius
Near Miss Day commemorates the 1989 pass of asteriod 4581 Asclepius which nearly missed the Earth on March 23rd.

It was the size of a mountain and came within half a million miles of collision with our planet ... and on the cosmic scale of things it is said to have been a very close call.

It is estimated to have an impact releasing energy equivalent to a 600 megaton atomic bomb. It would have been a cataclysm ... one of many we have avoided over the eons.

I personally feel that we will eventually have a comparable impact and hopefully the consequences will be somewhere less than an extinction level event ... but you can never tell when the Earth will simply have to start over on the evolutionary path due to such a collision of total devastation.

The First Pentium
80586 Processor Intel Pentium    

On this day in 1993, The Intel Corporation shipped the first Pentium chips (80586) with it's 60 MHz clock speed 64 bit bus, and 100+ MIPS (million instructions per second).

That consumate geek which was me at that point in time was enthralled with it all and nobody could bad mouth microsoft to me at that time without a major ration of retaliation.

It was a time back when I believed in a lot more than I do now. I had far fewer hard feelings for that monstrosity called trechery in the workplace.

I had far less experience with liars, thieves, cheats, crooks, and tyrants ... and the world was a much happier place.

Boy, have times changed.

Education Freedom Day 2018
    Education Freedom Day
To hear me go on about public educators and indoctrination of students taking precedence over their education you might get the impression that I am against education altogether.

Nothing could be further from the truth. I believe in learning everything that can be assimilated in the mind as a guard against that stupidity so prevalent in the world today whereby we miss the point of the shadow government and their attempts to take us out because too many grow aware of their undermining of The Republic.

Today is Education Freedom Day (EDF). It is an international event held under the auspices of the Digital Freedom Foundation and was first observed in 2013.

The tenets of this observance involve the sharing of knowledge and awareness about the benefits of using freeware and shareware and other free educational resources. The aim is to spread knowledge and awareness regarding the benefits of using free software and free educational resources for education.

I would provide a link to their site but it's on facebook and as such is unworthy of my attentions. If you want to take hold of your situational circumstance you must seize the day and take care of your own business and not rely on a social media outlet which will allow their clients to prey upon your constituents.

Spring 2018

Spring 2018 in Northern Hemisphere begins today. So the seasons advance as time progresses toward that which will become our history tomorrow.
 

Spring 2018


Let us hope that some of the gloom and doom abates, the deep state knocks off it's plans to deliver a cosmic false flag in the form of a hoax alien invasion in antigravity vehicles in an effort to maintain funding for the military industrial complex ... and that those responsible for daring to think that they are above the President are held to account for those mistaken impressions.

Remember, UFOs with rivets are created on Earth as are the bulk of triangluar. This is bad news from bad people. The false flag from the deep state is coming.

International Poultry Day
    Chicken Houses Hollow Creek Aiken County SC
Chicken Houses Hollow Creek Aiken County SC

Poultry refers to domestic fowl that are raised for meat and eggs. This includes chicken, turkey, ducks, geese, quail and pheasant.

Poultry farming provides the bulk of commercial product and involves large 'houses' —

Typically run by inbred insipid southern morons who don't know much about anything aside from stinking up the area for miles around due to their attraction to chicken feces, small brains and other unused appendages, as well as their distinct lack of raising due to their parents passing them off as children to their inbred no character grandmothers.

DHEC is supposed to oversee the health issues in South Carolina but I'm afraid that they don't do anything about the tards raising poultry as they continue to overrun the area with the smell of poop and loose great clouds of ammonia odor, fecal dust, and bird feather dander on the local populace.

So Happy International Poultry Day with your malodorous genetically defective, no skills having, preying upon the neighborhood lowlife ass because you're too stupid and ugly to obtain a real job.

Forgive Mom and Dad Day
  Dad
So today is "Forgive Mom and Dad Day".

In that enormity which is parenting my folks were careful to point out that we didn't come with instructions and this provided growth opportunities all around.

Those perceptions of hurt and frustration which are part and parcel of any human interaction are not a place for blame between a child and parent; for indeed acceptance of that relationship precludes those things which may be attributed to "blame" as simply that which has occurred.

In other words ... "stuff happens". I too played the "blame game" up to a point. When I witnessed the decline of my biological father it all seemed all too petty and I placed everything aside.

There became no further room for the idiot within me. My world was imploding and I was helpless to do anything about it.

When daddy passed I was too brokenhearted to experience anything but grief; and that remorse which comes from wishing more had been done sooner.

Heart of Gold  
My stepfather passed too suddenly for me to have any reaction except that profound sorrow of losing yet another who cared so deeply for me that it was beyond measure — and I suffer those throes of the "what ifs' and "if onlys" Mrs Ruth Graham so eloquently described prior to her passing on the 14th of June in 2007 ...

So let it be known in this time and place that Mom and Dad — and based on my personal experience — ANYONE'S Mom and Dad are typically beyond reproach in the normal parent child relationship.

Anything to the contrary could bear examination of those feelings which comprise that perceived hostility.

Some things are better when let go as that nothingness they are.

My folks never needed forgiveness from me for anything ever.

St Patricks Day 2018
   St Patrick
I was never a big celebrant of St Patrick's Day. I have a lot of Irish American friends who do devote a large portion of their day in raucous celebration over in Five Points with the various venues available there.

For me it's more a moment of historical pause and whereas I once wore green on St Patrick's day religiously I now find that propensity to be diminished to nil pretty much.

It has little to do with St Patrick's day and much more to do with the contents of my wardobe by and large.

Today is St Patricks Day which celebrates the fifth century Christian missionary who legend states after returning there to convert the pagan Irish; drove the snakes from Ireland while engaged in pursuits against the indigenous Druids.

The Irish diaspora spread his tradition throughout those areas to which the Irish immigrated over the years and even though it is not a "legal" holiday St Patrick's Day enjoys wide spread celebration in the United States of America with various entertainment venus, rivers dyed green in celebration, green beer, food and such in the memory of this religious icon from the gaelic past.

Regardless of my personal views on the holiday if you are a celebrant by all means Happy St Patrick's Day to YOU !

#MeToo Sheeples Don't Rule
I have never been one to jump on the pc wave. I have also never been one to simply view every accusation I encounter as fact. I spent a career in public education where everything was innuendo and "somebody said this" or "I heard that" and I was quick to reject the world of gossip and back stabbing.

Nowadays we have entire media outlets playing these stupid games. We have whores trying to sue the president for crap that happened long ago — likely at the behest of someone paying them.

We have democrats foaming at the mouth screaming IMPEACH with no evidence of wrong doing. We have the real crooks walking around among us when they should be in prison suffering the consequences of their criminal behavior.

Terry Gilliam    
I saw a tidbit on Yahoo where Hollywood director Terry Gilliam has noticed that #MeToo appears to have become an attempt at 'mob rule' whereby some women suffered while others used Harvey Weinstein to advance their careers.

He placed forth the notion that though Weinstein may be a "monster" there are plenty of monsters out there and even those who behaved like Harvey Weinsten in the film industry peddling influence for sexual favors.

He also made reference to the wave of sexual abuse and harassment revelations evolving into an ugly and simplistic set of circumstances where people are frightened to say or think things ... characterizing it as a "world of victims".

He also initmated that the #MeToo movement has gotten silly with individuals being described in ridiculous terms in a constantly devolving humanity he characterized as "crazy".

I decline to be this stupid in my interactions. I decline to be a Youtube trying to force what you think upon you. I decline to be a google filtering you out because they think it's funny. I require that my conduct be above board and straight forward.

I'm not going to just sit around and take whatever someone wants to force upon me as reality when it simply isn't so.

Stephen Hawking RIP
    Dr Stephen Hawking
Dr Stephen Hawking
January 8, 1942 – March 14, 2018
British theoretical physicist
cosmologist, author
Director, Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology,
University of Cambridge
Theoretical physicist and cosmologist Dr Stephen Hawking has passed this earthly existence yesterday at the age of 76 surpassing all the gloom and doom of a two year life expectancy pronounced when he was first diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at age 21 by an astonishing margin.

He claimed that his disease caused him to no longer be bored with life and allowed him to immerse himself in his studies and it is certainly evident in that productivity in the form of teaching, and publishing but more so cultivating a reputation as the foremost expert on quantum mechanics, or the math which deals with describing the motion and interactions of subatomic paricles and those associated principles.

Dr Hawking and I differed in faith, mine firmly rooted in the Christianity of my childhood; his passing by the wayside of atheism as happens with so many scientists.

He now knows for certain which one of us is correct in that spiritual respect.

One thing is sure, this academe turned television star and pop icon will be missed.

Rest in peace.

Pi Day
pi symbol  
  Albert Einstein
Today we celebrate the math constant known as Pi. Each March 14 (3/14 ... get it ?!!) the first three significant digits of Pi become the date.

The day is most profusely celebrated in Princeton, New Jersey where there are many events constituting a celebration of both Pi Day and the birthday of Albert Einstein.

A John Holmes Memory
John C Holmes
John Curtis Holmes
August 8, 1944 – March 13, 1988
American Pornographic Star


    
When I was a pea brained sailor in Great Lakes, IL attending A School I frequented an area called "the gut". It was a short distance from the North gate and had a variety of venues designed to separate a dumb boy from his funds and I certainly acommodated them often during that time frame from November through the following April.

Scattered among the bars and arcades and other dens of inquity were shops which had porn sections and these all featured the work of one John Holmes, who was a mega star of the genre during that time.

It seems that being a porn star had a glitz and glitter side juxtapositioned with those darker aspects of that existence and he died in the late 1980s as the results of acquired immune deficiency syndrome which can only be characterized as a job related illness. I wonder if he got workman's compensation.

Though I certainly jest; I'd like to add that his end was fraught with suffering far beyond the scope of anything a person should ever have to endure and he is deserving of our sincerest sympathies for that pain he endured during the course of his illness.

It is alleged that he continued "work" after knowing he both was a victim and could pass the illness to others.

It is said that he participated in charitable works and engaged hobbies in addition to his primary employment which was engaging in all manner of sexual intercourse for the entertainment of the slathered masses watching his antics with both interest and amazement.

So there are:

• John Holmes the pornographic legend,
• John Holmes the charitable contributor,
• John Holmes the sculptor and wood worker, and
• John Holmes the myth.

The bottom line is John Holmes was not what many thought he was, more than some thought him to be, and all-in-all existed as just a man with all the frailties and shortcomings to be had except for a single one.

Whether it was "all that" we'll never truly know for no formal metrics were ever taken so therefore they don't exist.

Rest in peace.

DST
    daylight savings time

Daylight Savings Time slipped up on me this year. Yesterday I awoke to a number of clocks which were set differently than some of the others.

I suppose having so many clocks in a household makes you more date and time aware, but still; it had not ocurred to me that the "spring forward" aspect of the national time change went down until about my second cup of coffee.

Originally envisioned in 1895 as an energy saving measure, I learned from various sources that some jurisdictions don't implement it ... even in the United States.

Whereas I used to view it all as treasonous — over the years I grew to accept that notion that we all can't agree on everything and now I am convinced that DST may be an anachronistic holdover from times gone by and need to be eliminated.

All the complicated time keeping and episodic confusion gets to me sometimes. I suppose it's all well and good for those who are supposedly in charge of such things to make the call. I do know that the days will really grow longer with darkness coming much later as time progresses. I hope that you are not as ambivalent as I regarding daylight savings time. Love it or hate it we continue to observe it here in South Carolina.
