okay , sometimes you the bear, sometimes the bear gets you,laws of nature...etc.
lets look at the facts shall we? we are having shortages of food and other sundries
in the groceries department ,the power has dropped off twice today and people are protesting in the big cities over closing down of businesses. how long until the food riots start, the economy is collapsing before our eye, and our retirement money has nearly disappeared ....ohhhh this cant be good for anyone
but the insurance and bankers and the lawyers and hospitals,, someones going to have to pay for it...
gather up your ammo,its going to be a hot spring and summer..and the possibility of a viral slowdown and then bam it body slams us in October or november ... like the spanish flu pandemic in 1917-18 came back to kill a lot more people..some people died in 12 hours after contracting the virus from
viral induced pneumonia and organ failure... scary isnt it? and now the us is looking at china really hard about a lab not far from where the chinese claim the virus got started...they lied thats obvious..
so boil your water, roast your meat at the proper temperature and buy emu... or better yet buy me a box
of emu. think peaceful thoughts but keep you powder dry..i will be back later as time permits

survival series continued
some people say i was crazy, maybe, but look at where we were and where we are now...
this covid 19 pandemic is as close to a game changer as ive ever seen, weve come a long way
in medical science since the last pandemic of 1918 spanish flu. and i haven't posted a blog in
a while... yes, because of personal issues, 4 heart attacks and 5 surgeries later and two eye operations
have done wonders for my health...i can see again thanks to the best eye surgeon in the world,
dr.sanjay asrani at duke university's eye hospital...20/10 vision in each eye,who'd a thunk it?
my heart surgeries well it took them a few years to figure it out..,but i thank god for keeping me
safely through it all,
so lets get down to the tacks of it all....you are now unemployed, no money coming in the rent is due,and your wife is giving you the barracuda eyes and smile...,teeth and all..what do you do?
that's a good question... you need work, you need money, you do what you have to do to survive..
you take a low paying job,delivering food in your old beater, and or you go get a job at a grocery store spraying disinfectant on carts and you go spend hour in line at the food bank..
Or you dig down deep and take what there is that is being offered and you pray..and you werk yer butts off and get er done...stress will kill you just as fast as anything else, but you got to remind yourself
that you never planned for this situation to happen because you didnt think it was possible to be
caught up in something like this ...stop breathe in hold it breathe out, do this a few times to get
the oxygen to your brains and let the squirrels run wild in that wheel inside your head and by
golly you might just come up with a plan.like making face masks using granny's old singer
sewing machine and looking online for instructions

its been hell. learning how to type by touch alone i'd give anything to have my eyesight back . an arm or a leg.
anything at all. i fell in love twice in my life. one was good. the second time wasn't so good. i never told them that i loved them and now i cant see to tell them im changed deep inside i think they knew how i felt, but never let on they knew. i sat in the shower the water spraying me in the face.. damn my self for my short comings and my failures.. damn myself for feeling at all . damn myself for wanting what i did and not saying i cared . damn myself for love i should not have feeling.. i didn't listen ..i didn't open my ears or my eyes..

survival series cont...
the sailors and soldiers constant companions are fear, cold, hunger , thirst and boredom. in the field, fear keeps a man or woman alive . being wet, and cold, hungry and scared shiftless can bog you down, especially if you havent eaten or slept in a few days... i know. i ve been there a number of times.. dry is essential to being healthy. water is the second concern.. rain water will suffice as long as you filter it and boil it to purify it
warm means layers. you can always take something off, but you cant always put something on if you dont have it.. warm also co notates having a fire or hot coals to heat the air..around you. learn the principles of fire making.. a must know how to do if you dont want to freeze to death.. heat up rocks to boil water.. hot water makes tea and coffee. hot rocks keep a bed warm also... come the crunch (and believe me its going to come sooner than you are expecting) you'll have supplies stored up. pure water to drink and a warm place to sleep..you may be broke, monetarily , but beans and bullets wont come cheap after the end falls out...
no im not an expert on anything, im an excellent cook, a great shot and have a knack for good story telling, and a writer of sorts. if anything, im one of those survivalist nuts.. always have been and always will be..end of story. read stories of survival, from those who lie it every day.. i live it, even though im going blind ive got four other senses to keep me alive.. so keep you r powder dry, and your canteens full.. and keep a flask of
vsop handy , brandy .

the crunch is coming.. some will say the economy is artificially being carried by the oil companies lowering gas prices to less than 2;oo per gallon. today i saw gas at 1.99.9 cents a gallon..and it struck me as being the first indicator.. the first in a long line of indicators that things are not what they seem to be.. january is a tough month for everyone, february will be a lot worse.. here farmes grow hay to feed cattle which they sell all summer long to other cattlemen.. but you dont get good hay in february .. no money after the holidays and other base prices are up and still going up even if gas prices are dropping below two bucks a gallon..jobs are also an indicator. jobless rates seem to be down..that s because people arent reporting themselves un employed or under employed, any more. they , like me have quit trying to find work. because of lack of funds, bad health, or no jobs to be had. also whats this bullshit about speaking spanish to get a job... this is america, not mexico.. i speak english, and some other languages i wont talk about, but im not going to learn spanish so i can wash pots and pans for minimum wage... things are so bad here they closed the unemployment office and the closest one is 30 miles away.. what a laugh... me travel 30 miles to apply for a job.. not this american ... im toughing it out making money the old fashioned way.. using my metal detector...
hello to all , another year has passed by and here it is dead center of the cold frozen winter. ive been lazy not
writing in my blog for some time now, but personal writing has become more difficult since i found out i was going blind. in november. my visual range has dropped considerably, due to diabetes, which i have done real well in keeping my numbers down , but alas the damage was done before i found out i was a diabetic in 2011 . right now everything is a fuzzy gray and i have to strain to read anything , driving at night is out, and soon daytime driving will be nearly impossible... the doctor tells me a corneal transplant is a far shot due to the thinning out of my retinas ..less than a 20 percent bet if we do it...he says my vision will gradually diminish until all i see is a brown gray blob...great... a one in four chance, if i can raise 25 grand for the surgery.. but i willing to risk it and since mrs bob works at duke eye hospital, we might be able to wrangle surgery at a lower cost for employee discounts..hahahaha.. like thats going to happen.. oh welll. so im stuck with the rock and the hard place.. i need to work on this... praying i find some way out of it.. damned neuropathy has been bothering me as well. numb toes and then my feet catch on fire or so it feels like it.. .. i got nothing but bad luck so far.. and then having someone cutting on my eyes...nerve wracking and scary as hell... im praying for a miracle, but deep down its the most difficult decision personally ill have to make.. see you out on the street, when i start selling pencils or fruit to passers by ....peace and good hunting...

president makes mistakes as well
mr obama's new approach to immigration leaves me wondering if americans can handle what he is doing to our borders??? im not against legal lawful immigration to this country. we already have good laws on the books to deal with illegal immigration, only the feds do not enforce what there is. they are to busy weeding out terrorists and political opponents to do the job correctly. first off, this country is a great place to be born in, i know i was born here... and i served our country proudly and will continue to do so.. voting is a privelege and the right to voice your opinion for or against government policy is a right that some people want to limit.. they want to take away our rights one by one or regulate these rights right out of existance ..
maybe they want anarchy in our streets when hispanic drug gangs emigrate to the good old usa and peddle death and destruction to our cities and towns.. we have gang bangers here and lots of grafitti has shown up marking territorial bounds . and there are places you dont go once it gets dark at night.. im not saying we have to live in fear. we can move cant we??? but wait this is my home, my land and im not giving up to the likes of narcotrafficantes who slipped across the border at night through a tunnel carrying drugs and weapons.. its ridiculous..
