There's a very good chance you might suddenly 'know' and understand that you are living in a world where you have no input at all. The coup government exists, with or without your consent or participation.

On my way home from the farm. Everything growing just fine. The 4 or 5 inches of hay mulch is holding in the moisture nicely.
Getting up there to water once a week is working out.
I have an automatic watering system going at my home garden, so no worries there.
A wounded Donald Trump and protecting Secret Service officers caught by photographers in an "Iwo Jima" like posture with the American flag.
This week the NATO warmongers gathered in DC to rattle their small ineffectual sabres like petulant children led by a blithering idiot. Neil Oliver suggested this week that these leaders reminded him of the sorcerer's apprentice in Fantasia, when Mickey gets carried away with the use of magic to do his chores...but things quickly get out of hand. (Fantasia - The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Part 1), (Part 2). (Part 3) posted below...3 min)
In this analogy, who is the sorcerer that comes in and straightens out the mess?
Putin, Orban, Trump,...?
Today's assassination attempt pretty much sealed it. We are getting a Republican trifecta. This might be the end of the "safe state" system, the system that has dominated American Presidential elections since 1992, in which the West Coast and the Northeast are (D), the Plains states and the Deep South are (R), and everything else is a tossup.
Afternoon folks!
If you enjoy the blues, your ears might be busy this weekend. Starting off, we've got an album from BB King, followed an early Albert Collins album, followed by an album by Chicago blues harmonica player Carey Bell and finishing off the blues selections with a compilation album from Jimmy Johnson, Eddie Shaw and Left Hand Frank. After that there's a Wailers (reggae) album and an album from Texas musician Doug Sahm along with some excellent sidemen including Dr. John, David Bromberg and Flaco Jimenez. Then there's a rock album from a largely-overlooked all-girl rock band, Fanny. We finish off in the diversity department with a late 60's country album from Carl Perkins.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
