Libby Gone™

Expansion of Empire

2007-02-23T21:31:00.000-05:00

Commodore Libby was most confused. The new digital Communication was usurped by a new format. Progress continues despite all obstacles. Blogger meant something different in 1887.

To the left is the framework for an Abandon Mining Community somewhere in Mitch Chee Gon. A long forgotten ore mine will be the main feature, with ancillary buildings and landscaping.

Recycled foam packing forms the base of the hillside. Soon plaster and industrial strength disposable towels will form a realistic transition from cut limestone to highland. the buildings will be abanndoned yet the spurs maintained for storage.

Now WHY?

The history of Muck Stoke Mile,
For some reason abandon communities have risen, perhaps because they are the oldest. At the turn of the (yikes) last Century "Muck Stoke Mile" was a booming Midwest mining town. Complete with every last pleasure known to man.

According to Ohio and Mackinaw RailRoad historians, this area produced every conceivable mineral, metal, fuel and fossil.

Found Extinct in 1917, no living creature in sight.
Ghost Town for memoriam.
Lost
In Time.
Think though why do communities suddenly become vacant?
Suspected conclusions:

1)The unexpected bouts of the Ague followed by predatory animals.
2)Natives, (Although friendly according to Government Agents)sought to take their land back.
3)Great Lakes Triangle.
4) More money in loggin' (and dat dar preddy norden girl fom sveden....)
5) gasp NO MORE JOBS. Governor GrahmCracker insists profitable widget, buggywhip, and wooden wheel production will be impressive, in just 5 years.

Everyone was gone.

Muck Stoke Mine is a mystery. Superstitions run rampant.
Soon the Railroad was bankrupt and the town slowly died. Buildings fell, Mother Nature reclaimed hers.

In America someone can always find the silver lining. It's Capitalism. (Silver was long depleted at MSM.)
Muck Stoke Mile once produced many commodities that fed the burgeoning AMERICAN DREAM.

The railroad still uses the tracks as storage spurs.

Recently an Oil facility being erected was noted by a passing Engineer.

"Vat day pumpin at dat dare hill" he was quoted.

Ebryvon naughs dat dis ish aughted und dis naught gute"
but why drill in a Ghost town???????????
Whatever treasure lies under; The mystery of the sudden death of the town will always carry the stigma of
MUCK STOKE MILE

New Digital Communication

2007-01-15T20:25:00.000-05:00

The Railroad needed communication so Commadore Libby devised a new form of transporting information. This is what the the Eggheads call DIGITAL. Ones and Zeros. Ons and Offs. Click click space click. I met a Gentleman named Sam who has an idea on how to coordinate these digital pulses. He however wants to name the technique after himself. I balked. I believe it should be called Morse Code as my horse was called Morse. Now he never spoke in dots and dashes but het did dash and left some, dots. A horse is a horse especially called Morse. My equine friend always talked to me, but referred to me as Wilbur????? I will keep all informed by smoke signals until I learn the new technology.

Actually, the key is a treasured part of my collection.
I have some other pieces I want to share with those who can appreciate the history as I do. Imagine the days when you had no phones, tv's or internet......
Going to to the Western Union or Railstop to send a telegraph...
But then again no popups and computer viruses, and you KNEW your kids were "On Line"
Hanging Laundry.

Building (another) Empire

2006-12-23T09:28:00.000-05:00

OK after what seemed like a painful eternity, Commodore Libby Gone is back. Commerce has been slow so a new Rail Line must be constructed. First the wilderness must be grappled with. A fresh coat of paint on the walls and floor will suffice for now. As time and finances permit, a finished basement will encompass the Empire. I have sent a letter to Congress explaining how my Railroad is bankrupt and dismantled looking for BILLIONS in bailout funds. I think they will understand, as Sen. Clinton has RAILROADED a lot of people in her day.
I will chronicle the ever expanding Empire as someday I wish to compile the diary into my memoirs.
Luckily my Locomotives and Rolling stock (all my collection) survived the Government takeover precipitated by my former partner. Soon freight and passengers will enjoy the scenery as they are transported from towns and villages to the Big City.
I absolutely have to thank all my great friends and family who generously helped me in the retrieval of my Railroad Empire.
Let the fires be lit in the bellies of those magnificent Steamers!

One pinch too many

Remember being a kid and getting picked on? Hopefully none of my readers ever commited such a juvenile act, yet I know people in their late 60's who still take joy in other peoples pain. Obviously we need to confront a sect of Muslims who commit such ridiculous forms of self agrandisment.
SOme of the following was culled from the web site American Thinker.
Be aware.
Be ready.
"At the same time, barbaric attacks on civilians, with the obvious assistance of Iran and Syria, are effectively used to stifle the creation of a democratic government in Iraq after it was freed in a three-week war from one of the most brutal dictators of the age. In Lebanon, an Iranian proxy controls the southern part of the country and the democratic government is subjected to threats from the proxy and the continual assassination of political leaders adverse to Syrian control, with the principal suspects being the highest level of the Syrian government."
The authors point was the relevent connections to 1938 Germany and the flacid approach of the the Democracies.
FLACID.
LIMP.
[self deleted]
dead worm.
Often it has been said 9/11 isn't enough to wake us up again. 12/07 sure as hell did.
When did Americans become so weak?
As the worlds main provider of FOOD.
Aid for disasters,
Saving people from TYRANNY, except the people here in Mitch Chee Gon. Getting Stabinthebacknow.
Source of technology (until weak, greedy, self absorbed idiots sell it off).
Read the article, make up your own mind.
Again I highly recommend the American Thinker site. Truly insightful.
Oh my point,
A couple more 3 week wars. Followed by ticker tape parades, and free college for anyone willing to to do what OBVIOUSLY WILL BE NEED TO BE DONE.

Our Natural Satellite

2006-11-04T10:03:00.000-05:00

The light reflected from the Moon made me think I overslept this morning. At 4 Am EST it was nearly daylight. The urge to bearwalk was supressed. So were my canine longings.
Proper credit given to the website I culled this info from. My comments are at the end.
This is one of the most most beautiful pictures of the Moon I ever saw.

There are many interesting facts about the moon and trivia that may or may not be important to you. Some interesting trivial facts include:
We all know there was a man on the moon, but did you know that one stayed there. Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, a Geological Surveyor, who trained the Apollo mission astronauts about craters never made it into space himself, but this was something he always wanted to do. He was rejected because of medical problems. After he died, his ashes were placed on board the Lunar Prospector spacecraft on January 6, 1999 and it was crashed into a crater on the moon on July 31, 1999. Although this was done to see if there was water on the moon at the time, but ironically it gave Dr Shoemaker his last wish.

When Neil Armstrong took that historical step of "one small step for man one giant step for mankind" it would not have occurred to anyone that the step he took in the dust of the moon was there to stay. It will be there for at least 10 million years.

When Alan Sheppard was on the moon, he hit a golf ball and drove it 2,400 feet, nearly one half a mile.

In a survey conducted in 1988, 13% of those surveyed believe that the moon is made of cheese.

The multi layer space suits worn by the astronauts to the moon weighed 180 pounds on earth and thirty pounds on the moon.

How close can you get without completely running out of gas? Apollo 11 had only 20 seconds of fuel left when they landed on the moon.

Apollo 15 was the first mission to use a lunar rover. The top speed that was ever recorded in this 4-wheeled land vehicle was 10.56 miles per hour.

It is possible to have a month without a full moon. This occurs in February, but either January or March will have two moons.

In China, the dark shadows that are on the moon are called "the toad in the moon".

The Apollo missions brought back 2196 rock samples weighing 382 kg in total
Facts About the Moon
The moon is not a planet, but a satellite of the Earth.

The surface area of the moon is 14,658,000 square miles or 9.4 billion acres

Only 59% of the moon's surface is visible from earth.

The moon rotates at 10 miles per hour compared to the earth's rotation of 1000 miles per hour.

When a month has two moons, it is called a blue moon.

One side of the moon is always facing the Earth.

The dark spots we see on the moon that creates the image of the man in the moon are actually craters filled with basalt, which is a very dense material.

The moon is the only extraterrestrial body that has ever been visited by humans it is also the only body that had samples taken from it.

The first space craft to send back pictures from the moon was Luna 3 in October 1959.

The moon has no global magnetic field.

The moon is about 1/4 the size of the Earth.

On the moon, there is no wind, light, or water.

(c) 2006 MoonConnection.com contact

Now for my comments.
The Moon does have light, same Sun as Earth.
Wind does affect the moons surface, Solar wind from Coronal Explosions again on the Sun. Traveling at 1 to 2 MILLION MILES PER HOUR!!!! Same thing that causes Northern and Southern "lights".

The first Men on the moon were predicted in the mid 1800's. They would leave from Florida, USA. There was to be three of them. The journey was almost precisely documented a century before it happened. Read Jules Verne.

Niel Armstrong was recently proven correct on the first comment ever made on the Moon. A voice data tape from 1969 proved he did in fact say "That's one small step for A man, one giant leap for mankind" Originally the "A" was not believed to be said.
However it was NOT a small step, the astronauts had to leap approximately 2 feet from the bottom of the ladder to the Moons surface!

The Soviet Union had a variety of ridiculous ideas to beat America to the Moon. One "Zond" spacecraft even carried a mannequin and a tape deck simulating a manned voyage!
Ok so I am a geek, get used to it. LOL.
Honestley I have always had a facination for the Moon, Space, and the various Space programs of the world. I believe our destiny is in space both in life and death (Heaven).

Autumn again

2006-10-22T10:28:00.000-05:00

Waxing poetic.

Life has it's seasons and so do the trees.

I watched the fallen leaves chase each other,
like a children's game of tag,
across the lawn.
Realizing another season of life
is gone.
Tearfully looking back,
at was and was meant to be,
Not able to reap that,
which was painstakingly sown.

With death life springs anew,
as does hope,
a new day dawns,
I know I should count the plenty,
not the few.

Saplings sprout form the root,
grow and reach,
I shade and protect,
Offer strength and love,
Will always observe from above.

Soon the snows and frost
will accost
and we will hibernate
waiting silent.

then one spring day.........................

Armageddon in the windshield?

2006-10-09T11:08:00.000-05:00

Well we all knew it would happen and now the fruit has ripened. What is the next move?

The U.S.of A. Could have nuked North Korea out of existence in the first years of the 1950's. We pussed out. Now our kids get to think about "Duck and Cover".
Macarthur was right. 5 Nukes across the Yalu river. That would have impeded the yellow horde from the ChiCom regime. Although it is my opinion the Chinese Military would have sent their troops through the radioactive mire with no regard to their wellbeing.
So now the lil Kim has proven he has a nuke. I bet anyone of his subjects wishes it was a cuke. As in Cucumber. Now the starving masses can have PRIDE. Pride in the technology of communism. Big Wah. How's that tree bark taste. MMMMMMM Yumma.
From Drudge:
Long Pyongyang's chief ally, China denounced the "brazen" act, urging it to avoid action that could worsen the situation, and Russian President Vladimir Putin also condemned the test.

North Korea's announcement pushed the dollar to an eight-month high against the yen and helped shove oil above $60 a barrel. South Korea's won fell 1.5 percent to two-month lows and its main stock index tumbled as much as 3.6 percent.

The U.S. Geological Survey said it had detected a 4.2 magnitude tremor in North Korea at 10:35 local time (0135 GMT). The Japan Meteorological Agency said its data showed a tremor took place around Gifu, on the peninsula's northeast coast around 110 km (70 miles) from the Chinese border.

Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said there was no leak or danger from its test.

"The nuclear test was conducted with indigenous wisdom and technology 100 percent," KCNA said.

"It marks a historic event as it greatly encouraged and pleased the KPA (Korean People's Army) and people that have wished to have powerful self-reliant defense capability."

Analysts say North Korea probably has enough fissile material to make six to eight nuclear bombs but probably lacks the technology to devise one small enough to mount on a missile.

The chief of South Korea's intelligence agency told lawmakers it was possible North Korea would carry out a second test, Seoul's Yonhap news agency quoted one deputy as saying.

The lawmaker said Kim Seung-gyu, head of the National Intelligence Service, told a parliamentary committee that unusual signs had been detected at a North Korean town.

HOW BIG?

There was no consensus on the size of the North Korean blast.

A U.S. official said it could take several days for intelligence analysts to determine whether the event was the result of an unsuccessful nuclear test, a small nuclear device or a non-nuclear explosion
Apparently a Second Blast has occurred.
More from one tee'd off young American soon...........

OH "F" YES!!!!!!!

Picture is of one of my favorite missiles ever due to its MEAN ASS LOOK. It's name: NIKE HERCULES one of many in a long line of American intercepter missiles. Unfourtunately the fact is that it was designed, and deployed to NUKE the Ruskies out of our skies. Many were deployed in Mitch Chee Gon. Thank GOD they were not needed. They were equipped with nuclear bombs and the fallout of destroying atomic bomb laden Tupoluvs with an ATOMIC bomb is ,,,,,,well unimaginable.

Now hopefully a more practical approach has been wrought......

By Jim Wolf

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military shot down a target ballistic missile over the Pacific on Friday in the widest test of its emerging antimissile shield in 18 months, the Defense Department announced.

The Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency said it had successfully completed an important exercise involving the launch of an improved ground-based interceptor missile designed to protect the United States against a limited long-range ballistic missile attack.

The test results will help improve the performance of a multibillion-dollar shield against the type of long-range ballistic missile that could be used to attack a U.S. city with a weapon of mass destruction, the agency said in a statement.

Officially, the $85 million test was designed to collect data rather than shoot down the target.

It was the first involving a live target since interceptor rockets failed to leave their silos during tests in December 2004 and February 2005.

It was also the first since the ground-based system, which is part of a layered shield that includes naval and aerial components, was activated to guard against ballistic missiles test-fired on July 4 and 5 by North Korea.

Boeing Co. is prime contractor for the ground-based mid-course defense. Major subcontractors include Lockheed Martin Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp. and Raytheon Co..

In the exercise, a target missile was launched from Kodiak, Alaska. And for the first time, the ground-based interceptor missile was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in central California. Previous launches have been from the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- The International Atomic Energy Agency told the U.N. Security Council its inspectors have found new traces of enriched uranium in Iran.

The discovery marked the third instance that highly enriched uranium was found at an Iranian facility, but the IAEA said the nuclear fingerprint on the new discovery does not match that found on earlier samples, which the agency had concluded came from contaminated equipment from Pakistan, The New York Times reported Friday.

The 6-page IAEA report did not identify where the uranium might have originated or whether it was connected to a secret nuclear program in Iran. The country has insisted that its nuclear program is aimed only at producing energy, a task that would use uranium enriched at much lower levels than that found by the IAEA inspectors.

The report said that Iran was continuing to produce enriched uranium at low levels and on a small scale at its Natanz facility.

The Security Council had set Thursday as a deadline for Iran to discontinue enrichment, and a failure to comply by the country could result in economic and political penalties.
Today is Friday Sept. 1, 2006 -Libby.

It is also possible that Pakistan might have made the sale directly. Elements of Pakistan's leadership share an anti-Western, fundamentalist Islamic outlook with their Iranian counterparts, although historically, Pakistan's Sunni Muslims have not made common cause with Iran's Shias.

The only commonality is a shared hatred of Israel. Bordering on the insane. With most despots and criminally minded individuals, blame is the key to self supplication. "I am not at fault as this group, or that person drove me to it." While I don't believe GOD shares that defective arguement, the radical Islamofascists do.
Unfortunately, with Iran's revolutionary faction still controlling the country's national security policy and seemingly more emboldened each day as it sees new opportunities for influence in Southern Iraq, the prospects for such a turnaround in Iran's nuclear posture appear all too distant.
So what to do? Take em out before they destroy innocent children, women and men?
Sanctions? That makes me laugh so hard I almost puke. The UN?, laughing still.
Maybe Luxemburg will man up and provide an answer, Still laughing, Luxemburg only provides, nevermind, children may read this. The Democrats have an answer I know! This is it! Finally!
Set up a government program to regulate and tax IRAN. That will surely destroy their will. It has nearly destroyed AMERICA.

Libby's "Spidey Senses" are tingling. Pray GOD it's for the good. I can't yet decipher it today 09/01/06. For the sake of the innocent, I wish I could.

Looking to the Future

2006-08-25T12:21:00.000-05:00

This blog is going to be dedicated to the Friends and Family who have been following my Blog " LIBBY GONE" for over a year now. As I didn't celebrate an actual "One Year Anniversary" I will wax in that direction to a small degree.

First a heartfelt and sincere THANK YOU to the fellow Blogospherites who have befriended me and followed my internet rants. I am grateful to the Almighty for unseen yet close associations. A few have even ventured as far as to contact me in various ways and offer support and friendship during which as it turns out has been the most trying time of my life. THANK YOU. It will never go unappreciated. You know who you are.
As this dark period comes to a close I find myself more inspired everyday. Looking to the future and the excitement of a new beginning. I just realized my last post was 7/10/06.That'ss too long and I will make a point to be more punctual.
I also want to thank Island Girl for all. I first met her in 1st grade at the local Ivy League Elementary School (Marge and Beerme will get that one). A true treasure who has brought a lot of meaning to events in my life. She is also uncommonly sensible (tee hee CAMO!) I urge anyone who reads my blog to check out hers. http://islandsense.blogspot.com/ .
Again THANK YOU to all. A special Thank you to Mr. Scott Ott of Scrappleface ( http://www.scrappleface.com/ ) for the daily inspiration.

A Fool and his Missiles are soon parted

2006-07-07T07:42:00.000-05:00

What the hell is this fool thinking. Obviously rational thought has departed long ago, if it ever existed.

< TAEPODONG 1 Right picture cutaway showing placement of fuel and oxidizer tanks of the three stage ICBM.

"Orbital launch vehicle. Year: 1998. Family: Scud. Country: Korea North. Status: Hardware. Other Designations: Pekdosan-1. "

North Korea announced the launch of its first satellite on 31 August 1998. Despite these claims no foreign observer ever detected the satellite visually, by radar, or picked up its radio signals. The Pentagon at first claimed it was an ICBM launch, and that the satellite story was just a cover for the test. However on further analysis of the data collected on the launch they admitted nearly a month later that there had been some sort of a satellite launch attempt. What seems to have happened is that the third stage either failed and fell into the Pacific or misfired and put the satellite into a low orbit where it decayed very quickly before it could be detected by foreign observers.

This missile is derived of technology first developed by the Germans in WW2. The V-2 ballistic missile is the grandfather of all liquid fueled rockets. What amazes me is how much attention the sawed off, buffount haired dictator garners from the MSM. I doubt he can even urinate in the toilet accurately, let alone perfect a rocket that can target something slightly smaller than the entire Pacific Ocean.

The latest miserable failure should not get the attention that it has. After all the United States publicly demonstrated that we can launch exploding rockets frequently in the late 1950's. Thats old hat. Try making one do what it is intended. Like actually orbiting a satellite, or a MAN. Maybe even take a payload to some exotic place like say, umm, THE MOON.

But of course we are the United States and we should cower whenever the Liberals say we should. After all this half a pip squeek CLAIMS to have nuclear weapons, maybe even half a dozen. Shivers! While he has never demonstrated this capacity, the MSM wants us all to quake in our boots. YES! Lets talk to this rational benevolent lil man.

BS!

Ponder this:

"Data from U.S. and Japanese Aegis radar-equipped destroyers and surveillance aircraft on the missile's angle of take-off and altitude indicated that it was heading for waters near Hawaii, the Sankei Shimbun reported, citing multiple sources in the United States and Japan."

The last "satellite attempt" in 1998 sent the missile directly over Japan, raising concerns of an accidental International incident. Say this Missile fired Tuesday actually hit Hawaii, say it killed some Americans, maybe get "lucky" and hit a military installation. Then what? How would we respond? Send condolences to our loved ones? Negotiate some more?

I say no.

Finish the Korean War the way MacArthur wanted to.

Independence Day

2006-06-29T07:17:00.000-05:00

It's here again, The Fourth of July!
Another of my favorite holidays.
Why?
Well its not formulating a get together for distant relatives.....
It's not scrambling indoors with a plate of burnt hot dogs in a sudden downpour.....
It's not seeing Uncle Joe drink to many Crown and Cokes and make a fool of himself....
What is it?
How many today really understand it?
My perspective.....
Freedom.
Freedom first from a tyrannical oversea government. From the repression of individual liberties. From being taxed to death for the benefit of others. From busting your ass and receiving no personal gain.
Basically serfdom.
How many today can even fathom the concept of basically being held captive in life?.
Maybe a few scoundrels in the Corrections Institutions, and their prisoners....
How about Freedom of speech?
Anyone?
With all of todays "Political Correctness" most people walk and talk around on pins and needles.
I say F that.
I shall speak my mind.
I will call a Spade a Spade.
It is my Freedom.
Freedom to own Personal Property. Your own sanctuary.
Freedom to defend it with your Second Amendment rights.
Thanks to Ronald Reagan, Freedom from conscription,yet the Freedom to go to hot spots around the world and kick ass. If you so choose.
Freedom to pursue happiness. Freedom to prosecute those who would have it taken away.
What happened to that concept?
Now for the celebration.

Sitting close to those you love,
Gazing longingly at the heavens above,
Soon to burst with Thunder and Lightning,
Man made exhilaration, exciting.
The cool summer grass under your seat,
When do they start the children repeat,
Bright flowers open to all's delight,
Reports declare the 4th of July tonight.
God Bless America.

Flag Day

2006-06-13T09:42:00.000-05:00

The American Flag holds so much meaning to me. Old Glory. The Stars and Stripes. I really love that flag.
I have always proudly displayed it to show the world my regard for that which it stands. The sacrifices of so many. In combat, in the fields, at work, and in our homes. The hope it offers. The prospect of a better tomorrow. Reagan was right, America truly is the shining city on the hill and that flag waves above it all.
It's easy to get emotional thinking about all it stands for.
I often do.
I wish the television would end the days programming like it did when I was young. Playing America the Beautiful or the Star Spangled Banner and finish my day with a vision of the Flag.
Knowing there are 6 on the Moon, and paintings of it all over space is inspirational. If someday an alien lifeform stumbles upon us they will know of a race of 'can do' beings who called themselves AMERICANS.
American. I Can.
Love that flag! Red White and Blue.
Now for the rest of the story.
I would like to introduce to my readers ( The Libby Gone™ Sanatoriumm for the Terminally Honest and Trustworthy) Island Girl TLA (Teela) Author of one of the newest sites in the Blogosphere, Island Sense.
True American Girl. Red Pumps, Blonde Hair and Caribbean Blue Eyes.
Smart, very smart. (Don't you have to be to be a Libby fan?)
Also guys listen up, no matter how much you flip or invert the picture, the Flag wont fall off. I tried.

(I'll Jus Sear Ya) 06/08/06........

A new audio has surface from the world's most fearsome American sympathizer "U Al canbyteme el wango tango" Uncle Sam.
Obviously a propoganda scheme to encourage US Forces around the World.

The tape opens with hysterical laughter followed by a sincere outpouring of more laughter, coupled with some hoots and hollers.
Then a thunderous applause of mortar, artillery and rocket barrages.
A few cruise missiles launch and of course our lil darling Big Boy meeting out far and just desserts.
Heavy Metal accentuates the Chaos of Joyful Sonic Bombastment!

American Warriors are unstoppable.

The recent demise of the punk wearing New Balance sneakers has been a source of very little interest to us in the US Military. He was nothing more than a two bit pincushion found at any brothel in lower Tehran. His ego was his undoing and we rejoice in turning him into worm food.
Quoting Uncle Sam " By the great glory of the only true God through his son, 'Jesus Christ' another gerbil has entered into his reward".
"May he find himself in the martyrdom of hellish reprise! The most high God shall reward the coward with 72 unrepentant Virginians, who by the grace of God shall perform perverted physical penetration by every sort of firearm allowed in Hades."
(Short pause for a snack of Bar B que Pork and a kiss of an inspirational unveiled American Beauty. Watch out for Flag Day!)
"Yea I am truly ready for this confrontation between good and evil."
Snarled Uncle Sam,,,,
But first a quick vacation to Venezuela to lower crude oil prices.
Don't Tread on Me.

Just babbling

2006-06-05T18:01:00.000-05:00

The soothing sound of a creek babbling, like nothing other. The syncronous gurgles and the gentle wash of water seeking that which to gravity urges it.
Lucky us Mitch Chee Gon (gan?)-ders! The state is dotted with creeks and I am so lucky to have grown up among them.
It is truly amazing what you can find living in a creek. If you never had the priviledge, let me explain.....
I didn't know as a kid that Lobsters live in Mitch Chee Gon. A little later I was taught they were crayfish. (but they dont look like a fish!!??) crawdads. (is there crawmoms??? ...kids ask a lot of silly questions) What the heck is this crustacean doing in the creek?? And why do some have one big claw and not another????
Or a small one???
And why do the claws grow back?????
Snapping turtles are a different story. Just run.
Always a ton of minners (minnows) and larger fish.
Beavers tried to engineer the waters to their advantage, and usually succeeded. My brother enjoyed engineering their profitable demise.
The frogs always sang me to sleep, still do.
Little deer take their first drinks of water from such places. Against all warnings, some boys drank too....
First Gar Pike I ever saw swam close enough to my knees to feel it in a creek opening into Lake Huron. Looked like a prehistoric nightmare. I skeedaddled. Water may have had an E Coli problem for some time after.
Uncle Cracker and I used to perform war exercises with aging model battleships in "our" creek. Both sides always lost to our delight.
Boys sometimes do these things. LOL!
One of us learned to skate on the frozen creek. Inner tubing down to it was my favorite winter sport.
One of the best parts of deer season, sitting and listening.
Take some time and find a creek. Just sit and listen. Relax.
Maybe take a really good friend.
Lifes simple pleasures.

The Return of the White Wolf

2006-05-30T20:31:00.000-05:00

The wolf prowls among us. Growing larger every day. Hungry for meat.
Mans best friend.
A dogs dog, a gentledog. Well cultured.
Few canine can appreciate a finely grilled NY stip or Lobster tails. ByTor knows the difference between a low grade grocery store cut and the finest a meat market can provide.
I wish he would share.
Because,
That puppy chow gets stuck in my teeth.
He sits in the lap of luxury. Well nice laps if I may.......
Bird dog. (No comments Diablo...) Chases the fowl around like a school ground game.
Summers sudden arrival in Mitch Chee Gon has proven his Nort'n heritage.
He is up well before dawn when the cool country air is calling.
I love him.
His yips and yaps and now the deep howls,
I love him.
The throaty lonesome yelps
I love him.
So do alot of others.....
Hims a good pup
just over 6 months.
The wolf prowls.................

Lilies of the Valley

2006-05-23T18:49:00.000-05:00

There is a special place to me that contains alot of unique and treasured memories. A sizable part of this is the property in which it sits. Many curious and cherished presents from God and the past.
One of these is a large "grove" of Lilies of the Valley. Several hundred square feet covered with the intrepid little plants.
This property once held a small family farm approximately one hundred years ago. The house is now reduced to a cellar filled with dirt and a century of woodland debris. A small field stone well is still visible and several clay crocks dot hillside springs.
The most interesting relics are still alive. First in spring Grape hyacinth cover the patch of trees that once was someone's front yard. Lilac bushes grown wild still bloom. Humans obviously introduced Weeping Willow,Pear, and Catalpas.
The Lilies are the sure sign of Spring. Little white bells adding to the fragrance of the warmer nights and days. How sweet.
How wonderful! Seeds of beauty sown so long ago found again to be treasured. Perhaps nearly forgotten to time,yet with the most incredible timing burst forth in splendid beauty? There truly are reasons for everything and timing is the key. How was one to know, decades ago, the seeds sown, would produce something truly wonderful one day.

The (f)Artist

2006-05-22T18:33:00.000-05:00

Pursueing art takes a great degree of dedication. This Blog will attempt to reveal the amount of effort involved perfecting an ambition.
My friend Diablo is an incredibly gifted guitarist. He has spent a lifetime studying, practicing and employing this art. Anyone who has tried knows the guitar is one of the hardest instruments to master.
How does one do it? What drives anyone to undertake this madness? When do you find the time?
On a recent visit I discovered his secret. Mother Nature was calling and I paid his restroom a visit.
His secret is now being revealed to the world.
Some people read. Some think. Some just stink up the place. He does it all, plus writes music.
In the bathroom.
This man is not right.
I guess at least it hides the other sounds eminating from the room.
So now I have seen almost everything. The next time I hear the sweet distorted notes only a Marshall Stack can produce, I will.........
Nevermind.

SPACE !

2006-05-16T06:45:00.000-05:00

Courtesy of Astronomy Picture of the Day. One of the coolest sites for Space junkies like me.

Explanation: The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest human-made object ever to orbit the Earth. Last August, the station was visited and resupplied by space shuttle Discovery. The ISS is currently operated by the Expedition 13 crew, consisting a Russian and an American astronaut. After departing the ISS, the crew of Discovery captured this spectacular vista of the orbiting space city high above the Caspian Sea. Visible components include modules, trusses, and expansive solar arrays that gather sunlight that is turned into needed electricity.

What a beautiful vista ! How gorgeous is this good earth !

The Creature rises from the Grave

2006-05-05T13:47:00.000-05:00

After an immeasurable time spent in the purgatory of the grave, we find our Creature being reassembled and the spark of life about to be reintroduced. After months spent thrashing the countryside and Liberal villagers the Creature was subdued and apparently destroyed. Alas! This Creature was born of a Mad Scientist Father and Mother Lightening and SHALL NEVER DIE !
The apparatus for communicating this discovery has been repaired and will soon be updating the world on the events occuring in the cemetery of my mind. The electronic mechanisms have been secured in a new windmill and shall withstand the villagers onslaught!
The Creatures mind has been removed from the cask of formaldehyde and replaced in the cranial cavity. The shattered heart is being reassembled and fresh blood pumped into the aeorta. Soon. Soon the Liberal world will shreik with fear as the Creature rises and obeys his MASTER!
In other words, I'm blogging again.

Puppy Pics

2006-04-05T14:56:00.000-05:00

Another pic of ByTor the Snow Dog. More to follow as I get my home computer restored.
Doggie Dew training is coming along great. He is a very well behaved puppy and a great addition to our family!

Puppy!

2006-03-16T10:48:00.000-05:00

Meet our new puppy. His name is ByTor. Pure Siberian Husky. I haven't had a dog since I was a teenager. My last dog, Kirky died of old age and broke my heart. I figure I am ready now for the responsibility and companionship. He is very good with the boys. He was bred by a woman who ran a daycare and loves kids. I will elaborate as I have time. In the picture he is introducing himself to Cocoa, star of a previous blog. They get along fine, now.
Quiz: Who can tell me the source of the name ByTor?

The Joy of Toy Trains

2006-01-23T20:53:00.000-05:00

I have no idea why I like Model Railroads. From the earliest memories I have loved trains. My Mom says my Dad influenced me, he grew up in the '50s when model railroads were "cool", If you were a "boy". Teens had their 1920's souped up Model T's. Boys had their trains, cowboy hats, and space craft.
Most boys then wanted a train set. It was a way to act out as an adult. Run your own world. Control industry. Be like Dad. Be like an adult.
Lionel competed with American Flyer. Who had more realism?
They all did.
Know why?
In a childs imagination you don't need realism. They make it up.
Give a kid a stick and he will become Obi One Kenobi
Or Prince whatshisface.
Give a girl a Barbie.
She will play Mommy, or Miss America, or Ms. Corporate America.
I love playing trains with my boys.
The older son is not so interested as he was a few years ago, but still is amazed at times. This will probably change as we all do.
The younger loves them and we play everyday.
He makes up stories about Thomas the Tank Engine (Santa's gift to him)
Then acts it out.
I smile and fiddle with my scale trains.
Passing the hours.
I have said before I learned more about construction, electricity, art, architecture, landscapes, etc from Model Railroads.
I hope my sons do too.

The F Bomb

2005-12-31T10:36:00.000-05:00

Therapy comes in many forms. One form I have avoided since 1994. Music.
While I am not the most accomplished guitarist, I can hammer out a pretty good tune. I started playing at 13 with the help of my close friend and my Dad's cheap guitar bought with love by my Mom. 1960's era Decca. Yes Decca the old Record company. I even rebuilt it in shop class into a respectable version.
Marriage and fatherhood made me drop the axe and pursue a "normal" life. Anyone who has tried it knows the life of trudging knee deep in beer and groupies is not a good family life. I didn't look back, I had my fun. Then I cut my hair.
I kept all my equipment, It's still top of the line by todays standards. Ibanez Soundgear Bass and the Mighty Carvin Stack. 400 Watts is quite a ride. I didn't know why, but I kept it.
A guy at work asked me 2 years ago to come down and "Jam". Hell I could barely remember chord structures. I really put it out of my mind. Finally this fall I decided why not, all I can do is have some fun.
Fun.
I had forgot the thrill. Some people say it's like sex. Sometimes it's better. You can do it again in 10 seconds. Rollercoasters may be fun, but you can't do that at 2 in the morning. And headphones only work with audio.

If you never stood next to a drum set being pounded on, you missed out.
Feeling the air as it slaps your jeans, feeling it change your heartbeat. It does.
So does my Bass.
But for now let me introduce the band.
I will give more details as time goes on.
F Bomb.
What the hell is an F Bomb?
Most Adults Know. You don't drop them in front of children or the faint of heart.
Being married with children, the other guys came up with the name before I got involved.
I Like it.
Another nice point is everyone is mature, well educated, employed.
This is just for fun. We don't expect to be Rock Stars.
I feel like these guys are brothers we are so alike.
2nd admendment advocates to the hilt. Part of the vast right wing conspiracy. Lovers of hunting and family.
Willing to help friends in need.
Good People.
The Guitarist has written all of the music with help from the vocalist. I am still catching up. I have always had alot of material floating around my cranium but have not put it to much more than blogs and targets. This is changing.
The music is heavy. VERY heavy. Most people won't like it.
I LOVE it!
The songs have melody, they stick in your head.
Diablo is the guitarist. First from right in the pic.
Awesome songwriter.
and friend.
His axe kicks (deleted)
Too bad we are all in our 30's (well most of us) and can't go out and Rock the world.
Maybe we still will.
Mick Jagger is still alive or so I've been told.
The vocal stylist still doesn't have a permanent nickname. Madman comes to mind. He is second from right.
Now for something truly amazing. The drummer has only been playing for 6 MONTHS!
Natural talent. We really lock in even only after just a few practices. Just Awesome.
I have screwed around with drums for 25 years and can't keep a beat.
This guy is awesome. (they all are) Christian too. The other two worship the devil.
Just kidding. That was for Pipers benefit.
Although word is they are crazy.
The drummer, percussionist, Corvette driver is known as
Baby Gorilla. Almost as big as Diablos Rotwieller.
Oh that's Brooklyn, she eats tiny punks for breakfast. Big ones too. 120 pounds.
Blog on her soon.
I was worried, the guys said she ate the last 3 Bass players.
I believed it.
SO if you ever hear songs with the following titles, you know the F Bomb was dropped.
By the way it's good therapy to have your friends say F you.
And smile.
1)Dead Cat was the first song I learned. Again this is all original. You may or may not like it. There is an incredible amount of melody in the music. You would find yourself humming it and not know it.
So it's about some homeless dude who eats a dead cat?
2) Submission. Sorry no details and it's NOT sexual.
3) I Love the Dead. (Don't we all?)
4) U blanking blankety blank ( I can't use that language on this web site) It rhymes with stew clucking stitch!
5) Santa Vomit (He had a bad Christmas)
6) Diesel Fuel (I don't know this one yet, but it rocks!)
7) Last night we worked on a new one called Beerme B*#(# (No offense Beerme, I only play Bass!)
8) All that's left is a cup of Joe. (World War II song about Battle of the Bulge.)
OK OK OK
Libby figures it's not top 40.
Though Casey Kasem sits in every now and then. He is a great backup singer!
Great release from the madness of everday life.
I don't think I'd be sane with out it.
Music is wonderful.
So are Friends.

Christmas

2005-12-18T10:37:00.000-05:00

I saw Christmas this morning. Years have twisted my memories and ideals, yet it was there. I saw it.
As a kid you look so forward to Christmas. We grew up with not a lot of material things. We always had love. Clothes. Food. Warm Home. Things Dad and Mom Preached about, but kids want more.
Mom and Dad busted their glutes just to give us the necesseties. They gave us more.
We never went with out.
I always got my favorites, something to add to my Train collection.
Yea, socks and underwear. Hey you don't appreciate it until you have to buy it.
The joy of waking up and sneaking into the Living Room at 5:00 am ( or 3:00 and Mom saying "get back in bed boys, Santa might not be done!")
Warm home made cinnamon rolls, Turkey dinner(my Fave!) or Ham. Relatives,Grandma's and Grandpa's then still with us. Some say Christmas is for kids. I always want to be a kid.
I saw Christmas this morning. It wasn't gift wrapped. It wasn't lingerie under the tree when the boys were asleep.
It wasn't a gift from a jewelery store, or a new Jag. It wasn't a Train or a set of Lego's. It was not a new IPOD.
It was not a Fruitcake.
My best memories are the food so abundantly supplied on our Holidays.
Though Mrs.Gone still makes the best Holiday confections.
My Mom understands, she is proud to know her boys married up.
Christmas is every day, We should celebrate it as such.
One quick thanks to all my friends, Merry Christmas.
You know who you are.
I saw Christmas this morning, 12/18/05.
I saw it again like I did when I was young.
Before Life,Adult life.
Before romantic idealism,
Before cares and concerns of everyday life,
The look and the wonder.
A small boy.
Staring at a lit Chrismas tree.
Knowing a week away is Christmas.
Little hazel eyes, so much like Moms.
Wonder
And Awe.
What is this Christmas thing?
Presents?
The boys have enough Churching to understand.
Probably more than their Dad.
Those little eyes just staring.
The beauty of a decorated tree.
I remember falling asleep by the tree as a kid.
No sugarplums
Trains, yes.
I remember melting tinsel on the hot "big" lights.
I prefer the minilights now.
They look better to me.
I saw Christmas this morning.
I saw the anticipation in a young kids eyes.
I remembered what it was like.
It took me back, I let memories flow.
I saw Christmas this morning.

Libby's Theory of Tinfoil Hats

2005-11-22T10:00:00.000-05:00

Theorum 1. Laws of Electromagnetic waves and the ability to conduct and repel signals.
Marconi is one of the most famous scientist/inventors to study the effects and transmission of electromagnetic waves. His study was primarily in the field of Radio transmission. Since his time the science has profoundly changed. Applications never dreamed of are being employed today to varying degrees of effectiveness. Basically a sine wave of magnetic waves travels through a medium to be sensed and amplified by electronic means. Radio, Television, Cell Phones, Satellite communications all employ this technology. Even the AC voltage in your electric outlets emit these signals. The real cause for concern is controlling the amplitude and modulation. This is the terror I am about to impart upon you.
Theorum 2. Mind Control.
Since the dawn of radio and television, people have fallen under the spell of the "MEDIA". Uncontrolled acceptance of what was being spewed by the Talking Heads.
While compelling, the average lemming viewer had no idea that their brains were being indulated with subliminal electromagnetic thought control. You must vote Democrat, Republicans HATE YOU! Vietnam is a quagmire, while we can wipe them off the face of the Earth, we can't. See? Reproductive rights mean you must abort, for your freedom. Freedom isn't free, it's taxable. Guns kill people, people must kill guns. Poor must remain poor so I can be rich. 1+1=3 IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL ACCEPTED.
BUSH LIED, STOLE THE ELECTION, IS TRYING TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION, which states abortion is a Founding Father Right, but Guns have been surpassed by evolutionary time.
Theorum 3.
This brings us to the present and me to my point(s).
I receive my orders every morning at 4:46AM EST via my Tin Foil Hat. All antenna worth their metal are constructed of aluminum. No resonant magnetic influx. Covering the skull it acts as its own amplifier, exciting the neurons and synapses within the cranium.
It is properly constructed per NAZI blueprints to recieve the 1940.666 mb Signal from the NRC Satellite pouring out KKKarl Rove and DICK Cheney's thought for the day. Orbiting at 23,000 miles over my irradiated head it is always in line of sight. The earflaps must be set at 34.9 degrees to absorb the entire signal. All Neo Cons know this.
Theorum 4.
Why Libs think a Tin Foil Hat can protect them.
It can't. Propoganda has let loose the idea that if a properly constructed Tin Foil Hat is worn, Lib's would be impervious to the signals. While it is possible to deflect the signal, a tin foil hat WON'T WORK! The signals get through in small increments and 99% of the time the self preserving Lib ultimatley turns conservative.
This is Karl Rove's Final Solution.
more to kome.........

Autumn

2005-11-01T19:02:00.000-05:00

Halloween is over again for another year. Time to put away the goblins and Frankenstein movies. Begin preparations for the Holidays. Thanksgiving in just about Three weeks and Christmas a month later. For now time to enjoy the Fall. Fall? I have to assume it means the annual falling of the leaves of the decidious trees. Never did research it. For me it has always been a season of Romance. Not the Spring, mans heart lightly turns,blah blah blah. Real Romance.
This is the time people make last preparations for the winter up here in 'da Nort. In Mitch Chee Gon, final canning and preserving are completed. In day of old, root cellars were packed full of roots(This means potatoes,carrots, turnips, rutabaga to city folk),fruit,and canned goods. Cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, corn were harvested from gardens and put up. Spices like parsley, rosemary,dill were dried and stored.
I am fortunate, being born in the 60's, I still got to see good people do this.
My Mom is an expert. My wife also is.
I fear our society has become dependant on industrialized food production.
Not me.
God willing I'm going to fill the freezer with DELICIOUS BUCK MEAT shortly. My boys eat it willingly, and Mrs. Gone prepares it spectactularly.
But back to Autumn.
So many senses excited. The leaves changing,falling. Racing against each other across the road, only to turn and race back. Like school children chasing the man with the ball.
My Bear Cat fluffing out, Cocoa maturing, honing his mousing skills.
Boys hyped up from a bag of loot Oct 31st.
Memories.
Mrs. and I engaged, reading our favorite books on a blanket, under the maples at my parents house. Looking to the future. Vivaldi, Mozart,Respighi,Bach,Holst, music lives in our souls.
The Wooly Caterpillars are on the move. Birds are flocking.
Good time for bonfires and cleaning up the yard.
Longing for a woodland walk with my loved one in a warm sweater.
Apple cider, doughnuts and the occasional adult beverage, bring the season into perspective.
I sometimes feel bad for those who never have experienced a Mitch Chee Gon Autumn.
The toads and frogs and crickets are quieting,shame. Miss their lulabyes.
Mars is beconing, shining bright.
Moon waning in the sky.
Snow soon, for sure.
Time to put away the power washer.And tiller.
Turkey dinners and gifts galore,
Soon to be covering Libby's table and floor,
May God give all of you so much more,
But let not us ever forget our Savior.

In prayers of happiness and health to all my Family and Freinds, everywhere.
I Love You All.

Frankenstein or Modern Science?

2005-10-26T18:52:00.000-05:00

This was culled from a review by Tim Dirks. The transcript is very accurate as I know it by heart,almost.
The most compelling thing about the Frankenstein tale is the forecast of the human condition. This easily could be the scientists working on Cloning, Genetic Experimentation, Abortion, Stem Cell Research, Etc...
But for now, more Halloween Haunts. If you never have seen the movie, give it a try. For 1931 the effects are haunting and the story as immortal as the Creature itself.
Get a bowl of popcorn,your favorite beverage, a fire in the fireplace. Lock the doors and draw the drapes. Turn the lights down and ......
Well I warned you......
The next scene opens with a close-up of a framed picture of Henry Frankenstein with a flickering candle burning closeby. A maid announces a family friend visitor: "Herr Victor Moritz," followed by a close-up of Victor Moritz' (John Boles) face. Frankenstein's fiancee Elizabeth (Mae Clarke) greets him in the wood-paneled, high-vaulted, Victorian style parlor of the Frankenstein manor. She is concerned, worried, and uncertain about Henry, and wondering if he is emotionally disturbed. Anxious about her marital partner, she explains how Henry's most recent letter, the first she has had in four months, makes no sense. He has shut himself off from the outside world, working to the limits of his endurance with his experiments in an isolated, abandoned watchtower that serves as a laboratory. The mysterious letter reads:

You must have faith in me, Elizabeth. Wait, my work must come first, even before you. At night the winds howl in the mountains. There is no one here. Prying eyes can't peer into my secret...I am living in an abandoned old watchtower close to the town of Goldstadt. Only my assistant is here to help me with my experiments.
She explains that Henry told her about his strange experiments at a significant time - just before they became engaged and he retreated to his mountain laboratory away from her:

The very day we announced our engagement, he told me of his experiments. He said he was on the verge of a discovery so terrific that he doubted his own sanity. There was a strange look in his eyes, some mystery. His words carried me right away. Of course I've never doubted him but still I worry. I can't help it.
Victor saw Henry three weeks earlier, when he was walking alone in the woods, and was told that no one was allowed to visit him in his laboratory: "His manner was very strange." He suggests going to see Dr. Waldman, Henry's former professor and paternalistic mentor in medical school. Victor also reveals that he is a rival lover with affectionate interest in Henry's future bride:

Victor: Perhaps he can tell me more about all this.
Elizabeth: Oh Victor, you're a dear.
Victor: You know I'd go to the ends of the earth for you.
Elizabeth: I shouldn't like that. I'm far too fond of you.
Victor: I wish you were!
Elizabeth: (she turns away) Victor.
Victor: I'm sorry.
With Elizabeth's insistence to join him, they leave the comfortable, secure surroundings of the living room area, and go together to discuss their concerns with Dr. Waldman. The scene at Waldman's office at the College, already in progress, shows a row of skulls positioned on one of the shelves of his bookcases. On his desk is a row of test tubes and another grinning skull. Surrounded by symbols of death, Waldman is also troubled by their news: "Herr Frankenstein is a most brilliant young man, yet so erratic he troubles me." Frankenstein's research in "chemical galvanism and electro-biology were far in advance of our theories here at the University" and had reached dangerously advanced stages. His experiments to recreate human life, and his demands for corpses "were becoming dangerous":

Waldman: Herr Frankenstein is greatly changed.
Victor: You mean changed as a result of his work?
Waldman: Yes, his work, his insane ambition to create life.
Elizabeth: How? How? Please tell us everything, whatever it is.
Waldman: The bodies we use in our dissecting room for lecture purposes were not perfect enough for his experiments, he said. He wished us to supply him with other bodies and we were not to be too particular as to where and how we got them. I told him that his demands were unreasonable. And so he left the University to work unhampered. He found what he needed elsewhere.
Victor: Oh! The bodies of animals. Well, what are the lives of a few rabbits and dogs?
Waldman: (leaning forward ominously) You do not quite get what I mean. Herr Frankenstein was interested only in human life - first to destroy it, then recreate it. There you have his mad dream.

Haunted!

2005-10-20T18:18:00.000-05:00

It's that time of year and the zombies, ghosts, werewolfs(there wolf)etc. are haunting Libbys Lair.
I have always had a fascination with "Monster" movies, horror stories, ghost tales.
Why? I don't know. As said on previous blogs I loved watching Monster Movies with my Dad.
I walk through the wood any time unafraid, unarmed (sometimes!)I am not easily upset or alarmed. I still love thrills,however.
What is it about being shocked or scared that drives us into theaters? Rent Horror movies? Tell Ghost Stories around the campfire?
These are two of my scarecrows and holiday decor. I love this stuff. I would show more, but I would be indicted and questioned about my connections to Rove and Cheney.
Halloween has become a big thing recently, for better or worse. I keep in mind, it's good to understand the evil imbodied in horror to understand the good.
Selected Watchings:
1) (favorite) Frankenstein (1931) Boris Karloff
1a) Bride of Frankenstein 1935 ( Elsa Lancaster )
2) Van Helsing
3) 1968 Night of the Living Dead
4) 1931 Dracula ( Bela Lugosi)
5) Hammer Films of the same genre (gory)
6) Lon Chaney jr. Wolfman films
The best were the earlier, before you got to see the chainsaw actually cut the head off...
Hitchcock was a Master.
The Birds.
Rebecca, while a love story, is chilling in the coldness.

10 Ways to avoid Bird Flu

2005-10-15T09:08:00.000-05:00

With all the disasters, cataclysms,and human suffering the last thing we need is an airborne assault by fowl. Although this is a very VERY serious issue, Libby has taken it upon himself to give a little insight to the new plague.
"EU Health Commissioner Markos Kyprianou has warned that the EU should be ready for a potential human flu pandemic.

The H5N1 strain has killed more than 60 people in South East Asia since 2003. However, of those only one is suspected to have died after catching the virus from another human"
Ten ways to avoid the Bird Flu:

1) Ask your bird to cover its beak when coughing or sneezing.

2) If your bird has a high temperature, don't send it to school. This will only spread the illness to other birds.

3) Aspirin should not be given to young birds for fever. This could cause them to develop Reyes Syndrome.

4) Have your bird wash it's talons after using public restrooms.

5) Feed a fever, starve a bird.

6) If your Thanksgiving Turkey is in it's coop with a thermometer in it's beak and a cold compress on it's head, have Ham.

7) A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but if your bird has the flu it's BUSHS FAULT!

8) Be monogamous with your bird, contrary to current philosophy, prophylactics don't afford protection. They suffocate the bird.

9) Luckily the food chain prevents the spread of this disease. I.E.: Cats eat birds, but people don't eat cats, except in Asia (OH SHIT I'M ON TO SOMETHING HERE!!!!!)

10) If your bird is acting a little fishy and may be infected, do the humane thing and flush it down the toilet.

Working on the Railroad

2005-10-11T18:37:00.000-05:00

Made a little progress on my trackwork. After completing the inner loop (the one the steam engine is on), I need to start adding spurs and the outer loop. I plan on finishing the track and have it completely tested before scenery is begun. This whimsical scene just came to mind and is not permanent. Work ground to a halt when the Railroad construction crew found the WWI ammo dump. I do have HO scale military equipment and had thought about modeling a WWII base. This would give my 1940's era train equipment something to do.
So far I have assembled small tables in various sizes out of 1X4's and 1/4 luan plywood. They are attached together to form the entire table (approx 9X11 feet) on 4 foot tall legs. The center is open and accessible from outside for maintenance and operation. I covered this with 1 1/2 inch pink insulating foam. Topping that is 2X4 foot ceiling tiles glued upside down. Reason for this is carving out below grade scenery, hills and mountains will grow out of the same materials. These get carved,covered in drywall mud,painted and scenery. Kind of a combination of new techniques and conventional construction.
This scene is the beginning of the "Branch Line". This twisting,rural track will serve Whiskey and Branch Water (The towns, not the drinks, YOU LUSH!)
I will be able to run two trains on the main loops continously, parallel or opposing. On the branch line I can operate independently, switching cars into spurs and assembling trains. Train layouts fall into disrepair after they are completed (NEVER!) and become boring. Some of the kits behind the Engine are in line to populate the railroad, providing a reason to run it when it is operational.
The Great Northern Steam engine is my new favorite. It is digitally remote controlled and has an Awesome sound system. It was common for Lionels to have the " Bells and Whistles" but it is relatively new to HO scale (1 foot on the model equals 87 feet in real life). More to come, soon.

My day as a Liberal: Part 1

2005-10-04T18:02:00.000-05:00

Xray of my temporary insanity by Dr. Jay D. Dyson, Sacred Cow Burger Doctor and Director of the Institute for the Mentally Well.(sacred cow burgers.com)
I had my telescope out the other night checking out the crater Tycho on Earths only natural satellite. A strange pain ripped through my upper shoulder and I found a small wound. Applying Bactine(™)I discovered a bat bite. I figured rabies would have to wait for the morning and sloughed off to bed.

The alarm went off and for the first time in my life I hit the snooze button. This continued for three hours. When I awoke I staggered to the bathroom grudgingly. I noticed my hair was matted and about ten inches longer. I also looked like I hadn't shaved in two weeks. Small white things crawled through the new found growth. Somehow this did not bother me.
My boss was leaving frantic messages on my answering machine, but my PS2 needed more attention. Finally I found refuge by going to my parents house and checking out the old basement. Solice! Nice dark and damp. Mind bending urges to score some sillycyben or cannibas were the only push to leave.
I found a totally cool Rastafarian knit cap on the side of the road and it now adorns my flowing greasey locks. "Maybe I'll get some cornrows" muttered I.
Now dude I like passed by this clinic offering free reproductive (wow man that's like a polysyllabic word dude!)care to like peeps and stuff. I jauntered in and asked for some. The heavy set chicky poo with the sawed off hair says like "yer a dude, dudes don't get no sex ed 'K!". I figured I'd give 'er a less or two so we hit it out back by the dumbster.
Sweaty and swarthy I set off to score sum more. I checked this homie in a van down by the river and WOW dude! Some awesome spectral aurora type crack man! Sky lit up.
Staggering away I wandered 'pon a strike like scene. Peep all upset cause their Evil Rich Bosses stopped paying them like $32.00 an hour. Crimes to humanity! These burger flippers were cool dudes! Man, out of work how where they gonna score that high grade hydropo? Things weren't cool. I got in a pigcops face and made it clear. "Jawl on 'da rong sod 'da law, like dude!"
Luckily a raving Union stew(ha ha I said stew)ard caught the cop off guard with a belly blow by picket sign. Half digested Krispy Kremes spewed everwhere! I t was like a well dude, ya know.
I sauntered off into the College campus.
This totally hip Prof type guy introduced him to myself and me to himself. We like hit it off. I was astounded by the intelligence this man exposed as he tried to expose himself."The Man is bringing both of us down big time". He explained how everything bad that had ever happened from the beginning of time was President Bush's fault. He also showed me the President Bush was not a Bush but a Noxious Weed. I like Noxious Weeds I say, Not he, He say.
Later after multiple attempts to see some planet of mine out past Saturn I told him "I gotta go, buzz is wearing off".
I passed a left over election sign from the last New York Senate race. Wow dude what a hot looking chick! If she only got into the lez thing, man she'd be mine! Suddenly I had an urge for bacon or ham. WONDER IF SHE BAKES COOKIES?
My odor was quite distinct by now, but still not troubling. I was hoping the local Government would have seized my home and leveled it before I found my way back. Maybe construction crews would be building a new 'Just a Touch' video store so I could see old friends. Phrases like "lil pink bunnbbula bumbula ..... and Love ,
kept coming to mind. I screamed " It was a personal matter between that fat cow and Clinton and his fat cow wife!!!!!!!"
tired,wretched and filthy I found my home.
A hot shower and a long nap.
would I ever be the same..........?

Punkin Carvin for Rednecks

2005-09-26T13:00:00.000-05:00

It's getting to be that time of the year. Autumn in Mitch Chee Gon is my favorite. Temperature is just right during the day for working in the yard. At night the cool fragrant air wisps you off to sleep. The leaves are starting to change. Time to engage in a few of my favorite activities. Decorating the house for the holidays and hunting. I'll admit I'm a more prolific decorator.
This wild gourd jumped out of the pumpkin patch and charged me. I saw a wild look in it's eyes. It was howling and gnashing its fangs ferociously. Apparently it was rabid. One slug from my Grandma's old single shot 20 gauge put it out of its misery.
Introducing Jack O' Splatern.

Finally a plan to return

2005-09-20T19:24:00.000-05:00

It is about time. I won't go into the "whys" of returning to the moon, but the "how".
I remember the (last) moon landing. I asked my Dad if we could see them. He said only on TV. TV was not so interested, that bring down a President, wrong war, wrong time thing. I was Five, what did I know?
Bradbury, Burroughs, Asimov, Wells. They excited the neurons. Dad and Estes provided the fuel. I flew a Space Shuttle before NASA. So what if it was 12 inches long. It flew. I have been waiting. This is exploration. This is Columbus, Magellen, Lewis and Clark, Marquette, Sheppard, Armstrong. I would be remiss to forget Gargarin, Korolov, Komorav.
Van Braun.
I have long advocated using existing technology to step forward. In rocketry the Soviets (Now Russians, again) have been the ideal. The same rocket booster design, modified with current technology, has launched the Sputnik as well as the last manned and unmanned(Progress resupply ships) this year.
Microsoft has built the Windows OS by upgrading former technology.
NASA always seemed to want to " Reinvent the Rocket"
WHY!!!!?????
Part One.
Picture left to right.
Saturn V (five) Van Brauns Moon Rocket. Height approx the same as the Statue of Liberty. Failure rate? 0. THATS ZERO. The rocket itself never failed, other systems did.
Next Space SHUTTLE. With reasons, total re-invention of rocket system. Components reliable, system flawed from conception.
Third. NEW Proposed Manned booster. Shuttle solid rocket first stage, Single Shuttle HO2 second stage. Reliable? YES PROVEN. Plus Stacked design like Apollo with escape rocket on nose.
Fourth. My much argued Heavy Lift Vehicle. Using Off the shelf components this rocket is already in use. It just has not been assembled this way. Five Shuttle (SHUDDER AT TAKEOFF!) MAIN ENGINES and the ubiquitous Solid Rocket Boosters. This will put the Moon landing equipment in Earth Orbit for rendeavous with the Manned booster up to a month later. This was an early approach to Apollo. Now with 4 Astronauts(up to six) on the Moon for 6 days or longer. Ultimately establishing a base ANYWHERE on the Moon. The South pole looks promising as ice may be prevalant and solar energy abundant.
more rants soon...

Don't be this guy

2005-09-16T08:39:00.000-05:00

There have been many interpretations of the Frankenstein novel since it was first published in 1818. The first movie on the subject was filmed by no other than the Creator of movies themselves, Thomas Alva Edison. In 1910 he filmed a silent movie which is all but lost to time. According to studio production notes, the story was "liberally adapted" and condensed, focusing on the monster's creation and subsequent rejection by its master.In this era of not so special effects, Edison used a rather unusual technique to depict the Creation of the Monster. He took a WAX Figure made to be an exact copy of what the actor (Charles Ogle) would look like and filmed it as he heated it, completely melting the wax. Then he re-filmed the footage running backwards, making it look like the Monster was forming out of liquid. Very innovative! Of course, this was Edison.
The Creature was depicted as extremely clumsy and completely dependent on his Creator. Sound familiar?
This is the Monster Liberalschism has Created.
Exhibit H.
It is unseemly to be productive. You get labeled as stepping on the downtrodden to get ahead. Born with a silver spoon firmly implanted in some orafice. Having illegally come upon success and/or wealth. The liberals don't believe anyone can do this except their elite. Only those upper crust types who go to Ivy League schools then enter the workforce with an upper management position. Superior Intellect is their right to peer down their crooked beaks at worker bee low-lifes. We should let them lead us around, provide for us. We can not be capable of success, we are not programmed for it.
This is their mantra. Keep the commoners dumb, poor, needy. Then everyday people will have to be dependent on the government. Us ignorant Creatures are only alive for their bidding. The want us alive but not to live. Not to be independent. Slaves to their ideology (idiotolgy). They want people to believe there is no other way. I'm here as living proof they are wrong.
In America you can "get ahead". You can succeed. Try working. I know that is a four letter word for alot of nincompoops.
There is nothing, save defending our borders, the government can do for you.
Get off you bloated hiney and get a job. You AIN'T gonna get 20 bucks an hour. Tell your ego this "You are not worth it, yet".
It peeves me to no end to see welfare pigs weighing in at 2 bills plus.
Maybe it is better to be a lib,minority,white trash,welfare doper,dependent......
No
I'll take my lifes road.
From having to wash dishes, clean the garden, mow the lawn, help around the house(including building it)working on the car and furnace, clearing land, I was programmed to work by Mom and Dad.
Now entering the workforce at sixteen I could NOT BELIEVE they PAID me to wash dishes, mop floors, cook. This was easy. I had been doing it for years with NO PAY!
Minimal wage being $3.35 at the time, I did have to work two jobs, even three for a while.
The Exhibit I will be forthcoming, but is relevant here. I DID NOT GET MY GIRLFREIND PREGNANT, WE DID NOT GET IN TROUBLE. WE WERE NEVER ARRESTED. Hell I have NEVER seen the inside of a lockup. NO I AM NOT LUCKY, SMART IS THE WORD.
This led to increasingly higher paying jobs and responsibilities. Employers in the " STEENKING CITY - thanks Kajun" were impressed by my work ethic. I was surprised, as most of the people I grew up with were no different. We all turned out to be successful. We were NOT LUCKY (I HATE IT WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THAT) Try working and not complaining.
Don't be this guy,
and teach your children a little hard work won't kill them.

Lest we never forget......

2005-09-10T08:35:00.000-05:00

No thinking person will ever forget where they were on 9/11. Stunned in my office I called home to Mrs. Gone and simply said "Turn on the TV". Silence. Thank GOD she was working from home and not in downtown Detroit, where her main office is. Children were safe, I went home after making sure everyone knew how to contact me.
Horror became RAGE, fear was the last thing on my mind. It was apparent immediately who did this. Neighbors had a bonfire and we all talked about the ramifications.
A candle was lit on my front porch and Old Glory always waves around the lair.
How in all intelligence could people politicize this?
Why would you take one of the most horrific attacks on AMERICAN SOIL and use it for political gain? It is un-AMERICAN, idiot hILLARY(ous).
Those people were just going to work, doing their jobs, trying to get ahead.
They were not criminals as the dorkface non-indian churchill ilk( Winston turns in his grave) profess.
But for now, no more rants. REMEMBER THIS DAY AS A DAY FOR AMERICANS.
How we overcome tragedy, attacks and plagues is uniquely AMERICAN.
We band together. We help thy neighbor. We pull ourselves up by the bootstraps.
We thank GOD for his blessings and know that perils and tragedies are lessons to learn from.
The Nips understood moments after the Pearl Harbor attack." We may have awaked a sleeping GIANT".
This giant often goes to sleep. Contrary to common lib belief we are not pursuing global domination. This goal is for their bedfellows the commiechinks and islamodogradicals.
We are GOOD PEOPLE!
Ok maybe a few more rants.
We feed the world. We save Muslims from destruction. WE DIE in the name of HUMANITY not someones perception of GOD.
We are the first responders in International crisises.
On Patriot Day please take a moment and give thanks. I will.
Americans have a charge. This is your duty.
Make 9/11 a day to strengthen your family bonds. Call an old freind. Have a barbecue with loved ones. Raise your flag. Visit a gravesite in rememberance. Watch the leaves change. Embrace your children and simply say "I love you"
but never,
never,
Forget those innocent who perished at the hands of EVIL SUBHUMANS.
My flag is embracing itself in healing. Ensuring all are safe at home, remembering the fallen.
The war began in the sky over Pennsylvania.
It shall not end until my beloved UNITED STATES OF AMERICA declares victory.
It's worth dying for....

Freight rolls

2005-09-07T22:18:00.000-05:00

Increasingly violent protests by the settlers have pushed the managment of the Port Huron and Northern Railroad to complete trackage connecting communities in St Clair county and Sanilac county, Michigan. This will tie the area in with cities to the south such as Detroit, Toledo, Chicago and beyond. More beneficial will be the ability to transfer goods around Michigan. From its many "lake" ports and bays to the thriving communities. The settlers are not acclimating well to a sustenance of extruded foam and upside down ceiling tiles. They want action!
A single track main line with provisions for future growth has been completed. Test articles where run through the route and repeatedly over the makeshift trestle.
Upon completion of tests and saftey inspections, limited freight service has begun. This mainly is to provide the materials( both raw and finished) to various worksites along the Right of Way.
The Brass Hat of the PH&N was quoted " SOON there will be a TWO TRACK MAINLINE, and service to the Mountainside community.!"
He added " The trackwork in our yards need to be completed and the massive engine facility too."
the Railroad will depict scenes from the 30's to nearly Present.
Some days Steam and war loads. Some days Diesels and intermodals.
Passenger service has yet to commence as most of the units are still in storage.
The T-pins in the pic are left over from the last strike. They held anti-union signs and were left intact for now by the Management.

Vigilant Villagers Unite!

2005-09-01T13:15:00.000-05:00

No time to let your guard down.
Exhibit F.
We only seem to be surprised when we don't expect to be surprised.
Twice in the "Bride of Frankenstein" ( Universal 1935) the villagers let their guard down. Horrific destruction is the end result.
As the fire wanes in the old mill, the Burgermeister urges " Run along, run along to your homes, nothing to see here."
Quick fix. Monster destroyed in windmill fire. No Monster at all says he. Condescendingly adding " This strange man you call a monster is dead!"
The "Monster" is not dead.
Lackadaisical Villagers return to "Normalcy".
How many have veiled the images of 9/11?
No new ideas from the minority,grasping at every last straw perhaps.
This unfathomable EXTREME HATRED for President Bush baffles me.
I hate to say it. I think they ( EXTREME LEFT and fellow lemmings) are Anti-American!
Will it take another attack on United States of America to get the Villagers united? Will we ever be?
Exhibit G.
No one believes Minnie the maid, when she warns that it is still ALIVE.
After escaping the burnt windmill, the Creature wrecks havoc again.
The Villagers corner the Creature and overwhelm It. Lashing it to a pole in a fashion of Crucifixion, the Villagers topple the Monster into a wagon.(PIC). The captured Monster is taken to jail and strappled in an enormous chair.
The Villagers again relax and go home.
Realizing his enormous power, the Monster frees Itself.
Maybe the Villagers better make it clear to the Burgermeister. We have two opportunities to return the Village to its true Heritage and Legacy.
Two chances at having the Constitution interpreted not manipulated.
We also have elections coming up in the Village.
No need for pitchforks, torchs or those ridiculous triangle thingy ma bobs.
One simple bilingual ballot.
This Monster will never be TOTALLY destroyed. He will return in many CAMPY SEQUELS.
Every election must be attended with the focus on saving the Village.
I think Us villagers are about to see the Creature become increasingly angry and left handed.

Rebuilding the Arsenal

2005-08-30T18:59:00.000-05:00

Chapter 1,
A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes
(R, Goddard)
First was introduced to Model Rockets in the Fourth Grade. WHOA!
This information has been declassified. While not subject to the "Freedom of Information Act" it needs to be disclosed among the general population.
Later I will elaborate on my research, this draft is dedicated to KODAK II.
This was the second flight of the classified "Camera Rocket" in the early Nineties.
The first flight being an unprecedented success. 35 millimeter photographs taken from hundreds of feet in the air provided an unprecedented VIEW FROM ABOVE. While single shot 110 mm rocket cams were commercially available, I choose to build my own 35 mm REMOTE CONTROL spy cams.
The flight of KODAK TWO was ,however, marred by industrial failure. In the months between KODAK I and its successor, the Industrial Giant Rocket Motor Company, stopped production of its highest impulse engines. No longer was a 2 engine booster available according to the Space Budget. In an effort to preserve National Security, the Engineering Department opted for the less safe 4 engine booster.
Careful attention was applied to construction and fueling of the booster.
Calculations indicated a slight increase in liftoff G's which would in turn provide an higher Apogee. Based on earlier results higher altitude could only be a plus.
Launch Day FAll early 90's.
All clear, blue sky, nearly zero breeze.
5,4,3,2,1,
Ignition!
The FURY OF FOUR ENGINES COMING TO LIFE A THRUSTING THIS BIRD SKYWARD made my heart pound like no other although it always seems to exhilarate!
I never clustered four engines before, three was the most and they were all smaller.
Like a great sword the arrow climbed gracefully......
until about a hundred feet.
PA POOOOOOOOOMMM
A brilliant Orange Star fell from the sky as the booster struggled to altitude.
What had happened?
The rocket arched over as the cameraphoger (Mrs. Gone by remote control) kept taking pics. The parachute deployed as the booster fell through a Hawthorn tree.
Booster Busted.
Blew the engine compartment (pic) in two.
One engine overheated and blew up. This is EXTREMELY RARE in Model Rocketry ,one reason I kept the BUSTED BOOSTER. The lower right "tube" in the pic was its mount. My forensics indicated construction error of filling cavities with expanding foam. No heat dissipation.
Despite the odd trajectory some pics were legible. Autumn colors from a hundred feet.
I'll scan some pics someday.
For now I just aquired an inexpensive digital with 17 second "video" option.....
Synapses are firing.

New face for the New face of the anti-war movement.

2005-08-30T09:21:00.000-05:00

Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills.
Today an internationally recognized Plastic surgeon offered to improve the look of the New Face of the anti-war movement. Dr. Hugh Gymplants said " I don't agree with her at all, however if I must be subjected to her image daily, I want some eye candy.
According to Dr. Gymplants dramatic body contouring would increase veiwership on all MSM channels. Nobody is interested in looking at a washed up sixties hipster, citing Pam Andersons higher level of Exposure. He went on to say He has no need for a war for oil. "My three Hummers, Jaguar, SUV and Personal Jet are always full of fuel.What we need is a war for silicone. It is in short supply. I say we invade Rio De Janerio, where a third of the population has a pair of silicone reserves".
His Associate Dr. Faye Slift agreed. " While Botox is being rationed as the Heinz Corporation has cornered the market, I can offer a more youthful face for the anti-war movement" Dr. Slift is known for her work on Wm. Shattered, former TV Star.
When asked if she could make Ms. Sheehman look like a Hollywood starlet, Dr. Slift shot back " Dammit Gym I'm a Doctor not a Magician"!
Dr. Gymplants, well known for his work on actresses involved in video documentaries concerning human reproduction added " I'm concerned about using Liposuction on her Gluteus Maximus areas. There is a very small, atrophied amount of cerebral cortex and removal could cause a politcal shift to the right or death".

New Addition to the Family

2005-08-27T13:09:00.000-05:00

OK OK I'll get back to politcal rants soon. This is however a site for family and freinds to check up on Libby and the pack.
This is our new BAY-BEEE. Plucked fresh from his moms home that sported a "Free Kittens" sign. Picture is blurry, but I challenge anyone to get a clear pic of a rambunctious 7 week old kitten.
We have had many cats since Mrs. Gone I and I got together. Actually cats adopt us. If you ever had a cat you know who rules who. Definitely not like a dog, master relationship. Cats are very independent. Their eyes alone ( pupils like reptiles) tell you they are a unique species. I have an intense LOVE/HATE relationship with cats.
Sasha was our first. Beautiful. Luxurious dark gray and white fur. Born in Mom and Dad's shed to a typical liberal who left them as soon as she could. Probably to be someone elses hussie. Sasha was such a good freind. Very platful even as she got older. Our favorite pastime as newlyweds was playng kittycat volleyball. Sitting on each side of the living room, Mrs and I would toss a little plastic ball back and forth. Sasha would be cat in the middle and jump up and bat it away. Often she would then retrieve it so we could keep playing. She contacted a disease and even emergency trips to the Vet didn't help. When I realized it was her last day I cradled her in my arms in a hand knit afghan my Grandmother made for me. She took a deep breath and was gone. I cried.
Sam also was born in the shed and we adopted him about a year after we took Sasha. They got along great and would wait for us in our apartment window while we were at work. Sam was all white, long hair. He lived the longest, succumbing to some sort of feline dementia and had to be put down.
Mandy was next. Runt Tortiseshell Calico. Last minute Christmas gift idea for Mrs.
She was the only kitten left at the pet store the day before Christmas. No one else wanted her. She was a very good cat until the next one caused her to have a nervous breakdown.
Sabrina was EVIL. She intentionally would knock over house plants. Litterbox? No need just do the deed. Everyday we would come home to a mess. She tormented Mandy so bad that Mandy hid constantly.
Beautiful black and white fur. Just plain evil. Her time was short and I had to take her to the Humane Society.
By this time I had nearly completed the Wolf Lair and we were ready to move. I vowed no more indoor cats.
One day when I got to the property to work on the Den, I noticed someone had dropped off a kitten. This happens regularly around here. Why people don't have the morality to take the to the Humane Society, I don't know.
Little black fuzzball. I fiqure about a month old. I didn't think it would survive. It ran from me and I couldn't catch it. So I left some milk and food out on the porch and figured it was in Gods hands. It showed up the next day and the next. Less timid and eventually let me pet him. I called him Lucky. Lucky the lil black cat. Not sure if it was Friday the 13th or not. If he survived as an outdoor "barn cat" (shed cat?)he would be LUCKY. He did. Great mouser. Left his work on our front porch with pride. Look Mom and Dad what I can do!" Lost him about two years ago to illness.
Lucky procreated. He begat (from a no good liberal, sleep with anyone in town, hussie)four littens, of which two were adopted out.
Slick was short haired ,all black and also a good mouser.
Bear is named so because as a kitten he looked like a small bear. Very long thick hair down to his mane. In the winter he really poofs out!
Bear is not a mouser.
I think he is a liberal. Won't do a damned day of work and expects free room and board! Once a walk with Mrs. Gone Bear got the idea of chasing another cat. Would not come back and was about a mile from home. I figured he is an OUTDOOR cat so he'll find his way back. Next day Mrs. Gone is afraid. No sign of Bear. So we walked back to where we last saw him. The second Mrs. Gone called his name he came running out of the woods, mewing like a baby, actually acting grateful. Was underfoot the rest of the way home.I don't think he has crossed the property line since!
UPDATED 8/28/05......
I was not going to post this because it still bothers me.
Bear Or Slick knocked up some hussie and she gave birth in my stored boat. Quite as suprise when I took the tarp off, Adopted out 4 of 5 and kept the lil black cat.
Mrs.Gone was also suprised when I declared He could be an indoor cat. So tiny, so friendly. PANZER of course! Mrs. didn't like the name. Kids did. PANZER loved the youngest and would sleep with him. One morning, PANZER was gone, slept on by his freind. Mrs. Gone called me at work in tears. No more indoor cats.
I love them and I hate them.
About the time the combines roll, cats come up missing. Pretty sure that was Slicks demise all though I have no proof. With only Bear I figured the Pack needed new blood. "Free Kittens" So I stopped and sure enough a black cat.
5 year old wanted to name him Charley after Grandmas cat or Bear Number TWO.
Mrs Gone sugeested Con-cat(Conservative Cat) then Cocoa.
I think it is going to be Cocoa.
VERY AFFECTION, quick to purr. Born outdoors nearby.
Another barn cat. Hope I don't get too attached.
I know I will.

Blasted Computer

2005-08-25T21:47:00.000-05:00

In memory 1999-2005
Hal 2000 Computarical Device.
May you rust in pieces...

I don't like destroying things. I fancy myself a creator. When I have to take a life, I do it quick and humanely. One shot, never more.
When I first met Hal, I was so enthralled. We surfed the WEB together and bonded like brothers. The absolute JOY of a FELLOW COMPANION pushed my exhuberance beyond delight. Often we would lay awake at night, purchasing Model Trains off Ebay, Checking in on Drudge, exploring the Space Geek sites, and eventually finding lodging near Scrappledom.
Then one day, all seemed different. Hal wouldn't answer me so fast. My son thought Hal was enthused by the Gaming sites he was visiting and was "bored" with the "old fashioned life style". Maybe Hal was going liberal, thought I.
Memories flooded back, I vowed to save Hal from taking the wrong path.
This was my freind and I was going to save him. I got my Computer Geekological Doctorate in 1992. I am a doctor, I will save my freind.
Herbal Medicine seemed to be the key. Delete a little here, Defrag a little there.
Patient stabalized.
Pager goes off in the middle of the night. Oh my Gawd! RELAPSE!!
A series of POX show up. Popping up all over the head of HAL.
Back to the hospital. This time life engaging questions arise. I have a lifetime of MEMORY saved in HAL. Pictures from his youth. Pictures of Carbon Based HAL slaves.
Then Dementia set in.
HAL didn't,wouldn't recognize me. I would have to reset him at least three times to get him to wake up.
The bleary,clouded look in his eye was disheartening. My freind was dying.
I thought maybe a radical brain transplant. A new memory to enjoy and the same perfect body. As the transplant was occuring, however the donor and recipient got freindly. They liked each other TOO MUCH. Being the same make, model, and vintage, I could only conclude the worst. MY Computer was a Retarded Homosexual.
Lost in this lonely world, what is a hetero oxygen converter to do?
Maybe
Hmmmm
Break my computer vows?????
When I announced I have had an affair at the computer store and brought home the concubine, HAL lost it.
Spam everywhere. Pop ups zinging past my arse. Spyware stealing the serial numbers of my Model Locomotives.
I barely escaped with my Cable Modem.
I had enough. I'm taking this bastard out.
Quietly, I stalked HAL.
Then the wirrrrr of a broken heartdrive.....
The stench of a overloaded power supply.....
BANG
Tears fell across my windlashed face as I cradled my dying freind.
Memory chips dripping from his exposed carcass.
The last sparks of life fading...
I will never forget you HAL.
I wish you had not forsaken me.......

One 12 gauge slug, clean kill.
Through the power supply and wedged in the PC board.
Obviously not a mag load, it was may freind. I wanted an open casket.
30 yard shot.
Dropped like a stone.

My Meteorite?

2005-08-23T19:58:00.000-05:00

Over the past two years I have built the "Man Cave". This has conquered ground to re-establish the HOBBY EMPIRE.
Some people call it a garage.
The Model Railroad, Rockets, and R/C Airplane will have their stories told.
Most intersesting, in landscaping the concrete apron was this discovery. I "borrowed" topsoil from my pond area behind my woods for fill. This helped expand the pond and provided fill dirt.
Raking out the topsoil, I saw a small clump of dirt. In the best of intelligence, I went to crush it with my Timberland.
A series of Exclamations issues forth from my mouth. Some of a different tongue.
I realized as I professed forgiveness for my uttering, I had stomped a rock. Not just an ordinary rock, I believe a meteorite.
Now I have seen a few rocks. Since 8 (eight) I had to pick rocks out of the fields until better opportunities arrived. Dad and Gramps insisted. I have NEVER seen a rock like this. Everyone I have showed agrees.
The surface looks as if it was SMELTED,pores are evacuated of material. Small magnets attach themselves. The small chunk was hammered off with a 3 pound sledge. It actually looks and has the texture of being "burnt". Like Volcanic, yet, in Michigan?
Curious, I set it aside for a few months this spring, 2005.
Then rereading my Mitch Chee Gon history books, I was enlightened.
Massive Fire Storms wiped out Michigans Thumb Area in 1871 and 1881. (If you can't figure out where the "Thumb" is, don't bother reading on....)
Many saw "fire" falling from the sky prior to being forced from their abodes. Could Meteorites have caused the dried tree tops and dead fall from the lumbering to catch? Perhaps. Many Carbonaceous chondrite meteorite have been discovered in the area.
4 inches in diameter, approx 12 inches in circumference. 2 pounds.
Someday I'll get it tested.
Until then, maybe I'll just imagine....

Why did the chicken cross the road?

2005-08-16T18:10:00.000-05:00

More humor,
Again not original, ubiquitous email. Hope you enjoy...
WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

Plato: For the greater good of man.

Aristotle: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.

Osama bin laden: That chicken knew nothing of it's mission (ha ha ha)only that it would be a martyr.

Kindergarten Teacher: To get to the other side.

Timothy Leary: Because it's the only trip the establishment would let them take.

Sadddam Hussein: (circa 1988) This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

Capt. James T. Kirk: To boldy go where no chicken has gone before.

Louis Farrakhan: The Road you see, represents the black man. The chicken 'crossed' the black man in order to trample him and keep him down.

Fox Mulder: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many chickens have to cross the road before you believe?

Ernest Hemmingway: To die. In the rain.

Freud: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road revealed your underlying sexual insecurity.

Charles Darkwin: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.

The Praetorius Paradox

2005-08-13T12:04:00.000-05:00

Included under the chapter "Frankenstein Must Destroy Children".
And others....
On several occasions Praetorius is presented as a diabolical character. For instance, on his first entrance Praetorius' name is spoken several times by Minnie and Frankenstein. According to an old medieval superstition the devil's name has to be spoken out aloud at least three times to invite him into human company. Like in Goethe's Faust this has now been done and Praetorius/the devil will not leave Frankenstein's side again. Praetorius then proposes a collaboration to Frankenstein, to work together "not like master and student, but as fellow scientists", again a reference to Faust.
"Have a cigar, it's my only weakness". Only Weakness is mentioned at least twice. Only weakness apparently is for the same sex.
Exhibit E.
Homosexuality and the destruction it causes.
Ernst Thesiger was a remarkable character actor. His portrayal of Dr. Praetorius was explicitly wonderful in many ways. Cunning,intelligent,absolutely sure of himself. Not only does he act effeminate,He was rumored to be homosexual, as was the director, James Whale.
Henry Frankenstein (1935 "Bride of Frankenstein")learning from nearly dying that his "Idea" of creating life was immoral. He had his (incredibly beautiful Valerie Hobson) soon to be wife at his broken side. However, He was still a pawn. No less than to a college professor, His former professor,Praetorius.
Praetorius had one goal in mind. To create a race of Man(emphasis on Man) Made men. No need for the mess of intercourse, gestation, birth. Now MAN can Create MAN without woMAN. He would not relent until Dr. Frankenstein agreed, even to the point of the Creature attacking his family [read John Roberts])Read up on current clone testing.
This is the design of pathetic gays and other sexual predators TODAY!
What is the result of amoral homosexuality? DISEASE thank GOD!
but the un here to thought of, no more liberals.
YOU ARE CAUSING THE EXTINCTION OF YOUR SELF, thank GOD!
Conservative women and men don't abort. They raise their offspring to do the same. Homosexuals are generally libraleeze. They don't procreate. You are destroying yourself with the MONSTER you created.
JUST LIKE ABORTION, the creature is destroying it's own.
No procreative sex, no children.
No one to nurture into the "religion or tradition".
SO one has to go out to the Village and strangle young minds.
Take the weak,unprepared souls and drag them to HELL. Now let me be clear, I don't have a problem with homosexuals. I've known many and while I could NEVER understand the attraction, I get along well with them and everyone. My goal on this blog is to state" I DON"T WANT MY CHILDREN AS A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE, BEING TAUGHT ABOUT SEX"! What you do in your home is your business, just don't bring it out into the Village as a new requirement. The current "in your face" gays on TV are just another affront to our succeptible children. Keeping it in the closet is ok. Hell, I can't speak about Christianity in public, why is this tolerated?
This is why WE (As Villagers) MUST oppose sex ed in Schools.
Do you want Praetorius to instruct your kids on sex?
Take those precious offspring aside and teach them what is right.

Model Railroad

2005-08-10T15:52:00.000-05:00

I received my first "toy train" at Christmas of 1971. A MARX brand O scale "Big Rail Work Set". I have forever loved Trains and the relationship they built between my father and me. Not so oddly enough my father received Marx trains for Christmas in the fifties, and my sons get Lionel now.
Model Railroading taught me alot. Art, some say Folk Art. Electricity. Construction of simple wood tables lead to the all out dementia of ultimately building my own house. The appreciation of Architecture, and Landscapes. Drafting and Engineering. This was almost unconsciously learned as the ABSOLUTE FUN of creating and collecting was the driving force.
As a married (to an EXTREMELY UNDERSTANDING wife) man I have collected a remarkable number of interesting trains, scale, tinplate and toy. This collection literally dates from 1971 (although certain pieces predate World War Two). Truly a lifetime acquisition. Two rather complete scale layouts have been operable and nearly complete scenery wise( NO layout is ever complete until the creator dies). The last was dismantled in 1998 when we moved into our new house. Lacking the room to resurrect the Monster I had to wait until this year to create another scale world. The Man Cave (read attached garage with 16 x 36 foot loft) is now occupied and the Railroads are begging to cross country.
A smaller table is set up for Son's of Libby. They have Lionel size (1/48 quarter inch "scale") My world will feature a vast array of "HO" scale (1/87). The tables are ready now for laying track. The GENESIS of a new scale world is about to be written.
details as progress is made.....

Safely Home

2005-08-09T12:45:00.000-05:00

Space Shuttle Discovery returned to earth this morning without incident, Thank God. The first test flight after the Columbia tragedy was declared an overwhelming success. In addition to docking with and resupplying the International Space station, techniques for repairing damage to the Shuttle were tested. Do to continued shedding of foam on the external fuel tank, the Shuttles will remain grounded for the foreseeable future, until a better adhesive can be found. The exploration of space continues tomorrow with the launch of the robotic satellite "Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter" This craft will further seek out water reserves on the Red Planet.
The Space Shuttle is an incredible feat of technology, being the most complex machine ever built by Man. My opinion is that it's time has come and gone. The same applies to the Space Station. One of the main reasons the Shuttle looks and operates like it does no longer exist. The military's use of it to capture and retrieve Soviet Soyuz capsules and their twin counterpart, spy satellites. If you superimpose a scale Soyuz over the Shuttle's cargo bay you'd see its an exact fit. No need to steal one when we get to ride in them all the time.
For manned spaceflight we can do better, safer and cheaper. This doesn't mean we should throw away the Shuttle completely. If you take the "Stack" and remove the Shuttle, you have a remarkably sound Heavy Lift rocket, with decades of reliability. This is known as the Shuttle C concept in space-geek circles. Replace the Shuttle with a gigantic, disposable cargo pod and Wa-Lah! No need for wings, landing gear, presurrized crew compartment,heat shielding tiles, windows,etc. The avionics would be simpler by an order of magnitude. Even the three main rockets engines on the orbiter could be replaced by a single modern engine on the pod. When an object is delivered to orbit, the pod can simply be deorbited and burn up into an ocean. Recovery and refurbishing of the solid rocket boosters would remain the same. This and maintaining launch facilities would also save experienced workers their jobs. To me it would be a shame to waste decades of perfecting this equipment just to start from scratch.
To be continued, including thoughts on new manned spacecraft and the missions we WILL fly.

American Jihadist

2005-08-06T11:43:00.000-05:00

(Editors note, This is extremely ADULT material. Those of you who are under age or have weak CONSTITUTIONS best not read. The liner notes in the video tape offer a great deal of insight to this RADICAL organization. Including their profound respect for all three monotheistic religions....)
(SEE B S) A radical RIGHT WING extremist group has resurfaced with another video tape warning of more destruction in the Middle East. This tape ran on all legitimate networks, of course excluding Al-jazeera and it's lesbian sister network, CNN.
In the tape, the number two man in the "terror" group known as "THE BASE"
issued a warning for radical muslims everywhere.
" To the jihadist, I am telling you that bin laden brought you the destruction in Afghanistan and Iraq and more will come CHRIST willing". he said.
He appeared to be referring to the annihalation of the radical muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In the video tape released Friday, Uncle Sam also issued several warnings for the rest of the terrorists.
"Our message is clear, what you saw in Afghanistan and Iraq is what you shall see in Syria and Iran, all this is nothing compared to what is next for your asses."
He also warned to stop corrupting the Muslim religion and it's youth.
"If you continue your terror tactics against innocent civilians you will be exposed to the horrors of Hiroshima..."
Uncle Sam reminded the jackasses of the "hoopla" (truce or dare)offered in the past. "Join the world community and benefit from capitalism" he quotes.
He told the Muslim community that the queer igit cleric are lying to them.
" Don't believe the lies, Their are no virgins waiting in heaven for you. This must be apparent, as few Islamic virgins die. The true text of the koran states" No one shall commit murder in the name of Allah. To do so will bring the fire that shall not be quenched and the 72 worms that shall never stop eating your flesh for eternity. Go back to the Mosque and sharpen your pencil."
"If you don't stop the cowardly attacks today, surely you will be dead tomorrow and sent to hell".
In a pointed direct remark to Allan Zawahiri Uncle Sam was quoted,
" Listen up gramps, you should be at home reading to the grandkids. I'm coming after your ass. We are already there, sleepers. Look over your shoulder, that new bodyguard, the "woman" under the veil, the shepherd next to the dirt hut. They may be U.S. After the obligatory beard pull and two finger eye poke ala Moe Howard. I plan on disemboweling you. I have perfected the gut shot. As you run like an impotent dog, you will trip over your robe and drag your own intestines out. Also remember I lube my gun with pig lard. Soon, pray ALmighty God, you will be seeing roadside bombs on the trails to Mecca. The hajj will become Death Valley. In addition to nails our IED feature pig blood. We not only intend to kill but to send you to HELL. This blood is on your shoulders, this death is your causing, you want holy war, you got it. YOU WILL WISH YOU WERE ONLY FIGHTING THE US MILITARY !!
They are trained to be polite and understand tradition and culture. WE GAVE UP ON THAT! I swear to GOD, That bullet replacing my MIDDLE FINGER IS FOR YOUR ASS!
My stack of korans next to the toilet make good wipes. I swear to ALMIGHTY GOD after I kill you I will disinter your worthless dog mother and spit upon her corpse!'
The tape ended with a wide array of American patriotic songs and threatened more tapes...
to be continued...

Frankenstein must destroy children

2005-08-02T22:38:00.000-05:00

Little Maria only is enjoying a pleasant afternoon floating "Daisy boats".
When the Daisys are all gone, The Creature figures all pretty things belong in the water. To father Hans horror and grief.
- Frankenstein, Universal, 1931.
In the novel the Creature tries to silence young William Frankenstein's cries by squeezing his neck. This makes William the Fiends first murder. A new technique is established in the Fiend's repertoire.
- Mary Woolstonecraft Shelley, 1816. lib itch. good writer.
Exhibit C
subtitle " Prochoice = NO CHOICE"
"Why the Children bear the brunt of Liberalschisms self destruction."
Obviously the first example is ABORTION. While appearing to be the exact opposite of creating LIFE from the DEAD it really isn't.
GHOSTS.
We are conceived in sin. If the fetus is destroyed, the soul still exists. What happens to the soul? No chance of washing away natural sin by Baptism. No choice of pursueing faith in Christ Jesus. NO CHOICE WHATSOEVER!!
Pray GOD these souls are delivered to the loving arms of JESUS CHRIST.
But are they?
With no intervention are they consigned to hell?
This question will never be considered by the INTELLECTUALLY SUPERIOR.
This is meerly a medical procedure, much like Frankenstein's. The cap of the head is simply sawed off, and the brain removed by surgical suction. All left over body parts are discreetly disposed of.......
Perhaps these GHOSTS return to haunt the Fiends.?
Perhaps they stand as accusers on the final day.?
Exhibit D.
"The Hollywood desecration of the youth."
The Cultural elite has a well thought out plan. To maintain the Beast they must infuse it with new blood.
Blending the lines of traditional moral values has let loose the offspring of a hellish mating of devil and fiend.
Overexposure to sex and violence has disturbed the Abnormal brain of the American youth. Video games and access to mature themes in the media have scarred the innocence of the youth. I honestly witnessed a preteen proudly relate how good she was to her bisexual lovers. The adults in proximity were FLOORED at the nonchalance of her statements. Is this something to be proud of? What life is in store for this wretched fool?
Why have we allowed the Creature to walk among us?
The public's tolerance has turned to acceptance and now is being taught as the rule ( THANK YOU PASTOR ALAN !)
WHY?
Because us Villagers are the TOLERANT. We accept people as they are. We do NOT impose our values on others. Don't speak about religion, especially Christian.....
However, we are not to be accepted and are being sought by the Fiend.
The Creature must sustain itself. With out indocorinating the youth, a fresh set of BODY PARTS will not be available to experiment with. !

FRANKENSTEIN 2

2005-08-01T10:01:00.000-05:00

As you can tell, I've always had a fascination with the Frankenstein story. As a punk kid, my Dad would wake me up to watch the midnight Creature Feature, or the Ghoul. Sir Graves Ghastly on Saturdays. I always searched the TV guide for the next Frankenstein airing (yes before video tapes, cds, dvds, TIVO).
But there was a downfall, nightmares.
It was always the same. I'd be standing next to the Dr. begging him not to finish the Monster. He always would. He could not be told no. I would even try to befreind the Creature to no avail. Just before It caught me I'd wake up. Typical nightmare scenario.
EXHIBIT B
" Why they cannot be told no"
Once liberals convinced themselves of Superior Intellect, they began stitching together the unhemming of America. From now on it was going to be THEIR way and any other opinion was suspect, intellectually flawed, dangerous. Old fashioned values needed to be updated for the 20th century. If you are a Christian you are consigned to be their arch nemesis. Not only do they strive to live in their ideals it is now going to be surgically inserted into the entire culture. If you can not follow their values you shall be mocked and ignored. The results being the Sexual Revolution, Rampant Drug abuse, Crime, Political Correctness, The scorning of religion, The HATRED Of AMERICA,The despising of men and Fathers,the horrors of homosexuality,the destruction of the family.
Somehow we missed the opportunity to dissect the Creature before it was given life.
Now the Beast is rampaging through the country (side) destroying everthing in its path. Who will stop this menace?....................

'da Wood

2005-07-31T09:24:00.000-05:00

I love the woods.
forest, swamp, wetlands,
whatever you call them.
Not as a left wing extremist ECOKOOK.
As a free range HUMAN.
I grew up with basically the horizon as my yard.
Neighbors knew us, knew if we were hiking,
"those boys don't cause no trouble"
If you know my parents, you know why.
respect.
Private Property.
SCOTUS you are "PERVERSE" in your opinion.
Had to live in the filthy city,
to get ahead.
HATED IT.
Missed 'da wood.
Lost any fear I had as a kid of 'da Wood
(Except that one time, I was a little unnerved, trailing an UFO I ran across that family of bigfoot, bigfeet, bigfoots? You know they were so NICE. gave me a salad of danderlion greens, morrels and some sort of turnip covered in a DELECTABLE elderberry dressing. I miss those good folk).

Longed for the days of wading through the creek, building forts, hunting.
My brothers always seemed to be better at this.
Looked high and low for property when the time came.
One night out we pulled in a wooded acreage for sale.
Mrs. said call NOW!
Cardinals chirp as alarm clocks.
Robin tell us the season.
A little fawn adopted us. (pics soon)
God gives us fresh wild raspberries, strawberries, apples(Though small).
The leaves come and go, with the going harder on Libby.
Hickory drop their nuts (hard hats may be required)
Toads and frogs and crickets sing us to sleep.
Hear more trains (real and electric!)
than cars or sirens or your neighbors smoking cough.
Best for Libby,
God gives Mrs. Gone
bouquets of flowers
spring to fall.
I love 'da wood
and I smile when the little chitlins walk,
bicycle, 4-wheel, motocross, ride horses,
past the house.
"the kids don't cause no trouble"
keep up the good work.
must be good parents.

My next Car

2005-07-28T12:16:00.000-05:00

A little humor.......
This is not my original material, but I'd like to share it. Up here in the rust belt we got a lot of milage out of this. You may have seen it before in email.

If GM developed technology like Microsoft we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics.......

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Everytime they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen all the windows. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun,was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil,water tempurature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This car has performed an illegal operation" light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Have a great day and GOD BLESS THE USofA !

Frankenstein or Modern PromATHEISTIC liberalschism

2005-07-27T17:42:00.000-05:00

Part 1
How what they have created is destroying them.

Alot of people are familiar with the image of the Frankenstein Creature,
Few actually have read the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley or understand it's prophetic implications.
In short the story of a man playing God and the consequences.
SO emboldened by finding, what he thought, the secret of life to not question should over could.
The end result not only Victor Frankensteins destruction, but
also that of family, freinds and the very creation he afflicted the world with.
The modern liberals are following the text, word for word,
act by act.
Exibit A
Blind Ambition or Arrogant Ambivilence?
" In the name of God now I know how it feels to be God"
Colin Clive Universal 1931.
In their absence of God, liberals find themselves at the pinnacle of intelligence.
The captive audiences of public classrooms and higher (?) education have become the graveyard of tradition and truly free thought.
They are so consumed with their ambition that radicalism has replaced reality.
Over the next days, weeks, (and I'm sure for the died in the woolen overcoat libs, years)
I shall extrapolate on this theory.
For the rest of you some humor,pics and apple pie.

Hello-
