    Okay----On the subject of waaaay up north in various littlebitty towns in the middle o' nowhere(including the boyhood home o' iwahs' & Aks most notorious serial killer) there is a syndrome thwere that is mistaken for "Progress". Yup. See---most of these towns have been in a form of decline--population of intelligent life-- for at least 50 years. But, due to "progress" in the agerculture 'conomy, namely upsizing operations and perduction methods aka factory farms, and the expansioon of markets to worldwide, there's still a lot o' money being made, in that environment. An the affleunt there are major car jocks--Farmers! Nobody likes to DRIVE as much as Farmers! Yup. Steada going inta town on Satterdy mornin', they get out and DRIVE to urban areas to purchase consumer goods. That's what those HUUUGe "mini" vans are for; thats what those 4-door monster pickups are for! Just DRIVE n eat n shop! Or to the stadium at the state U to sit-n-wath! Yup. Or upta Minnasodda to catch FISH! Yup. One little town has a company that makes boat trailers, another place has a factory making fishing lures. Yup. See?. There's also a new service industry in the many old, small-town abandoned storefronts, owned as mom-n-pop restaurants that serve large cuts of REAL FOOD--MEAT!. Then, they do stupid stuff like cut holes in the sidewalk, and plant high-maintenance shrubs n stuff. A monkey-see, monkey-do, like at the Nicollet Mall grandiose experiment, up in Libberapolis, Mn. See? But yeah---in the name o' I-wah style Proigrees, what they do is take old masonry commercial buildings and either knock 'er down, and clean 'er up n keep 'er mowed nice-n-neat or else cap 'er with farmer tin & tuirn 'er intto a destination to drive-n-eat. Yup. One such city waaaay up there has a 1930's brick building that has been in continuous use all this time. But, what they did to conform to the local notion of progress, which has also gotten artsy-fartsy and gentrified, is first cap 'er withg farmer tin, and then put old weathered barn boards on the street side, to make 'er look artsy-fartsy. They have an old theater, built in 1920's, that started to close, because the small theater chain couldn't justify keeping 'er open. So, the local artsy-fartsy types w/too much farmer money formed up a non-profit charity-status place, in order to keep the place open to show Dizzey mooo-veees and other crap with $4 admission. By the way--don't worry--that buyilding was also capped wiuth farmer tin, a long time ago. Yup. Amay-zeen & Ahhhh-summ, as they say way up there. Yup. I'll post some photos for your information of this dumb syndrome. By the way, the downtown retail anchor is now Dollar Gereneral. Yup. A-may-zeen and Ahhh-summm. Yup. Big thing going on today, is that the old-car jocks are going on a cruise from town to town, visiting the "man caves" of various other old-car jocks. See? No doubt they drive-n-eat. Better get those pipelines opened up! Save American Freedom to Drive-N-Eat! Yup.

Look how they capped that one building with Farmer Tin, then stuck artsy-fartsy weathered barn siding on it. Those people also gripe about old, junk 57 Chevies sitting around, and then parade up and down main in a $50,000 restored "classic" they bought, ready to cruise. I-wah idiocracy evolution. Yup. Drive-N-eat. Don't complain abourt farmers on a full stiomach, by god. Get out and Drive! Support Our Troops! They died for your Freedom, in that Gulf War. . Yup.

    Okay----I know you kids don't read nunna this BUT: Got another theory, for ya. But yeah---when you see people you know all of a sudden ramping up their religiousity--particularly being a Jesus Freak--it means for whatever reason---it's a signal that they are on their way out. Not much you can do about it to convince them otherwise, other than be kind. Yup. Hope that helps you some.

    Amen. Yup. Okay---here's a photo I ran across awhile back. Anyway, it's in Downtowqn Dallas, a stones-throw from Dealy Plaza in rednecked Dallas,, where there were top demmacrats holding a parade in open-top limmmozinnnes, back in Nov. 63. . Can youu believe that? Kind of explains why you can invade a
    -top demmacrats office or home, quite easily. See? They have no common sense. Anyway, the building on the left side iof photo 1 is(or was) the home of "Doug's Gym", that used real oild-fashioned freewheights, so people that needed muscle memory could keep in tune. Including Jackk Ruby. Across the street is the po-lice station, and you can see the short ramp to the basement, where Ruby entered and proceeded to shoot Oswald. Yup. Juuuyst thought you'd enjoy this. Also, I have an authentic "Doug's Gytm" t-shirt, that I purchased on Ebay, no quuestions asked. The next photo shows a J6 Demonstrator posing with Mrs Pelosis' Podium. Ha. Howe do you like that? Isn't that a-may-zeen and ahhhsuummm? Yup. 2022-11-06.jpg2022-11-06 (8).jpg

    Okay---Yesterday, late in the afternoon, I dug out a wooden fence post that had broken off just above the ground. It had been set in concrete, so that needed to be removed, too. Also had to detach the post from the fence panels. So yeah--it took me almost until sundown to do that and also dig the hole a little deeper. I rounded up a post and at the nearby big-box two ruptured bags of concrete mix. Today, I took the day off, to work on my new religion and spend some time with my catts and doggs. Never fear--I am not a jesus freak. Nope. But yeah--tomorrow after I go to the lirrrarry, which originally was built as a building materials supply store for a chain founded waaaay up north in that littlebitty town that was the boyhood home of the so-called "Butcher-Baker", as seen on Tee Vee. See---the lumber chain went belly up years ago(20), and the lirrrarry acquired the place and made IT the main lirrrarry, here. Steada the old Carnegie Building, downtown. But you know what? They did do some work on the downtown lirrrarry to make it better. Yup. But yeah---it's a long round trip in my 77 GMC that just had the motor rehauled with JC Whitney parts back in 1980. Hope that helps you some.

    Okay----when I want to sit-n-watch, I like to see srtuff from india. See old-world indian artisans doing "stuff" there, that would be deemed impractiocal,and unsafe, here, and call for thge total replacement of a piece of equipment or whatever. See? Those induia people are a resouceful, make-do with whatcha got people yup. They are whatcha call: Hin-doos. Hindus Can Do.

    Okay---here's something super, super interesting and very important, only it's not about Dem VS Pub. So I know you kids "could care less" as they say wayyy up north....But yeah---Drag Racing is a sport that has devolved and degerated down to almost, but not quite a whole bunch o' nothing. The fans are there for noise-n-smoke, the participants are there to generate points-n-stats, and they have to be car jocks of the highest order, due to the distances between events put on by santioning bodies. See---santioning bodies are like Xtians, with their multiple denominations. YTup.There's NHRA, IHRA, ADRA,and AHRA. AHRA has some of its roots in Spokane, where I once lived, but is dowqn to less than half a dozen venues, I guess. Looka this. I shiould add that in the 60's early 70's, a drag-racer named Bill jenkins built his own "Motors"(engines), pulled his race cars on an open trailer behind his 68 Ponnyac and drove his own car at the strip, and at one point tied with lew alcindor or whoever as the top-earning pro athlete in the country. Yup. But now---these guys have huge enclosed trailers with a workshop and bunks and kitchen and generators, to pull behing a monster dually truck. Ha. Yup. But check this out; isn't it amayzeen?2022-11-07 (5).jpg
