I clicked on a youtube short last night before I went to bed. Big mistake to take this crap to bed with you. There I lay pondering things I have no control over.
The man in the short video was talking about what he saw for the future of mankind. He said, “When a society makes its decisions by emotion, that society soon comes to an end.” He goes on to say that in the future the young people will create what he called a communitisum. Very similar to communism and will be directed/dictated by large corporations. “You will own nothing and be happy.” Minority Report anyone?
And so was the politics of this last election cycle in Michigan. Looks like it starts here. People voted from their emotion because of the crap on TV. Seems nobody does their own research any more.
Next on the mental list of taking this crap to bed list, is Michigans Attorney General Nessel going along with 14 AGs from other states in rejecting approval of permits for the movement of chemical refrigerant by railcar through their states.
Michigan AG Nessel and 14 other AGs
I understand the need for safety and how easy it is to sabotage our aging railroad tracks. But I also understand that if that chemical refrigerant doesn’t make it to the huge vegetable and meat holding warehouses and to refrigerated delivery trucks, the movement of meat and veggies will cease showing up in your grocery store. This looks like a case of Humpy Dumpy sits on the wall. . .
14 derailments in the last 30 days
Then I found this little gem.
Yes, they are in Michigan. I’d rather come face to face with a bear or a wolf out in the woods than a wild pig any day. The bores in particular are scary as all hell. Mean, mean, mean! To a pig, everything is food including you.
Michigan DNR announced on the “Discovering” program the other night they wish to introduce wolves back into the lower Peninsula. They guestimated there are about 600 healthy wolves in the U.P. As of yet these wolves haven’t caused too much of a problem here. If they are going to situate wolves down there it could be beneficial. There is always a positive side to things if you look hard enough. Once the wolves got established they would help cull the animal population when people start turning their pets and livestock loose due to the inability to feed them in the very near future. It has always been the plan of the WEF to rewild America, so again why not start in Michigan?
Speaking of wildlife, if you are thinking of watching the new release of “Cocaine Bear,” caution spoiler alert;
From the Michigan DNR about the movie
Years ago, when I was out in the wilds of Big Bay in Upper Michigan north of Marquette earning my wilderness survival certificate, late one night we had a bear come into camp. There were about 10 of us asleep in their own individual pup tents scattered around the bears wooded wilderness. It huffed and made some weird noises like the DNR agent mentions in the above video, but I was so tired that in my awakened grogginess I thought, “Oh, it’s just a bear.” Rolled over and went back to sleep. The soft ground, marsh moss and dried leaves I had piled under my tent was so comfortable, who cared if there was a bear in the vicinity. Others had heard the smelly beast too.
Since I was one of the older trainees, a couple of younger guys were secretly loading my already 45 pound backpack with stones making me work even harder to keep up. They thought it was hilarious when we finally made camp. I took off my pack and discovered it was loaded down with good sized stones. Laugh, you silly boys! It just made me stronger, but man oh man did I sleep that night. Just waking long enough to hear the bear.
Bill Gates is a sick bastard! But you knew that, eh? Here offers up cancer excellerating artificial meat for your dining pleasure.
For us in da nort’, the latest winter storm has come and gone leaving us only about 12 inches of snow here in da woods. Not anything like we used to get here.
This morning the sun has come to my rescue. Nothing cheers the soul like brilliant sunshine after a storm. I will file this youtube nastiness away for a later date, but for now there is snow to move, wood to haul in and breakfast to cook.
Thanks for letting me unload my nasty bedfellows on you. Not very nice of me, that is true so I offer you a couple of “after the storm” photos as a peace offering.





Until next time. . .
