Mother nature

Image
 If you have the means you can live anywhere you want, on a finger of land that projects into the gulf or near protected wetlands   Who am I to blow into the wind   In 1964 developers dredged up a salt marsh  My house was built on this soil surrounding a pond   The houses are still shifting to this date ever so slowly in the direction of their origin  After thirty five years we have experienced a number or hurricanes   The flood waters have emptied into the pond and into our back yard only once   In 1972 Hurricane Agnes flooded my first new home on Riverside Dr  It flooded again later on during another storm   Do you like nature and a water view   Be prepared to pay for it one way or another  Yes it is a joy to live here - just like Las Vegas with sea shells

Nothing esthetic just function   The screen background is from a place halfway up  the continent of  North America (Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Canada, Greenland, Bermuda, and the United States make up North America )   The article on the screen can be found here "Reality is more than the sum of its parts"  What I blog are instances of personal interest based on experience and world events   There is no attempt to attract a large following for any reason - this site is a day by day record of what is personal appealing  The Dell laptop used has a malfunctioning hard disk controller  Ubuntu is loaded on a 64 gig USB drive -  just geek stuff for those of possible interest and to give the bots something to do  A letter to Lenin - иди на хуй

"The West doesn’t want peace in Ukraine" - RT

Image
 Russian war ship sunk by Ukrainian missile "Rather than pursuing peace, the US and allies are doing all they can to turn the Ukraine conflict into a proxy war against Russia"  ...as reported by RT Russia Today.   Peace would mean that Russia leaves the Ukraine and stops terrorizing it's citizens.  Russia started the war.  Russia must stop the war.  The Russian military is now using conscripted untrained solders thrown into the fight that is disorganized and often fails to achieve it's missions. This is not just an opinion by this blogger but common knowledge by people who have access to news that is not Kremlin controlled.  Individual citizens find it dangerous to publicly denounce a dictator.   Living in a country with so many economic world wide sanctions is the result of government rule and will persist until leadership changes. It can change...  Link source foreignpolicy.com  By Mark Jamison

Substantive military threat is a rock from another star system

 Military pronounces unknown object as no longer a threat to National Security.   It's a small rock from outer space!   " That 2019 study argued that the wee meteor's speed, along with the trajectory of its orbit, proved with 99% certainty that the object had originated far beyond our solar system ."  While in radar school during a time when tubes were being used in the electronics industry Norad fired up its big dishes and inadvertently bounced for the first time radar signals off of the moon.  When the same system detected a massive array of incoming signals planes were on the runway preparing for a threat.  Luckily we discovered what the signals were and why the North Atlantic Defense Array was in error. Do we always fully understand the machines we develop and the potential consequences that may occur when they are used? source  https://www.livescience.com/first-interstellar-object-detected

Putin loses war?

Image
"...there are several ways in which he (Putin) could ultimately lose . He could mire his military in a costly and futile occupation of Ukraine, decimating the morale of Russia’s soldiers, consuming resources, and delivering nothing in return but the hollow ring of Russian greatness and a neighboring country reduced to poverty and chaos." Putin has already lost a war that was ill conceived poorly executed and became a military logistics nightmare. Death and destruction will become synonymous with a deluded man fixed on greatness not knowing it was never within his grasp.    Source www.foreignaffairs.com By Liana Fix and Michael Kimmage March 4, 202

Political pariah

  Blogging about Putin's war is depressing and allows overthinking   Ukraine is devastated  There will be no peace without unwilling compromise Lives lost and families fragmented for the sake of one man who fights old wars during times of peace and prosperity for most but not all   This historic travesty will not be forgotten by anyone people at any time  The clip is from google - thank you guys for times better lived
