What is wrong is wrong!
Nothing more or less…
What is wrong is wrong!

Yesterday, I went to the Big Village to find a part for Sammy the Volga. I found it and installed it. I left TRV and put out a huge sunflower head for the birds…
The pigs ate the whole thing… Oink Oink…
-
- Middle of nowhere, in peace and quiet. Working on Sammy the Volga.
-
- Bad windshield wiper motor.
Perfect weather to work on the car and a perfect spot to do just that. I had two babushkas walk by at separate times, as I worked. About 80 plus years old each. They said hello and ambled on their way, “To who but they, knows where?”
It is amazing how far you can be from civilization and out of nowhere….someone walks by you!
But enough of that, Sammy still had the original wiper motor. We will not mention how the motor got finally destroyed, yet, it did need to be replaced….thus it is done.
I also went to the sunflower field, it is already combined, and grabbed more sunflower heads laying on the ground. I will need to go back again this morning…
Yesterday, we had a flock of piggies, at the buffet….The yard was a Chickadee heaven….I just love Chickadees…

In the US political system, Jo Jorgensen is a pipe dream candidate. The system cannot allow a person of her intelligence to get near the administration and that is the reason the people of the USA should get her as president. But, I know it is just a pipe dream…
The education system of the USA needs a total revamp and people need this type of change to get the US back on track…
She may have no chance of getting her hands on the keys to the White House next month, but a growing number of Americans are coming around to her limited government, anti-interventionist, decentralized vision for the US.
Jo Jorgensen (born Joanne Marie Jorgensen; May 1, 1957) is an American academic and libertarian political activist. Jorgensen is the Libertarian Party’s nominee for president of the United States in the 2020 election. She was previously the party’s nominee for vice president in the 1996 U.S. presidential election as the running mate of author Harry Browne. She was also the Libertarian nominee for South Carolina’s 4th congressional district in 1992, receiving 4,286 votes, for 2.2% of the popular vote.

Jo Jorgensen said, “I want to turn America into one giant Switzerland, armed and neutral.”
Amen to that….that sounds like a good thing to me…
Jo Jorgensen said, “They are the ones in power and they will do anything they can to keep from giving it up. They don’t want me on the debate stage and they’re not putting me in the media, as they know that I’ll be the only real choice. Both of those candidates and parties want to spend our money and make our decisions for us, neither one has an answer to our healthcare problem.”
By the way, the Libertarian Party is on the ballot in all 50 states plus Washington, DC…
and…
Jo Jorgensen said, “That is something I could do as commander-in-chief,” she continued, “I want to turn America into one giant Switzerland, armed and neutral. We absolutely have to protect our shores and border but there’s no reason for us to be in 150 countries around the globe. We spend more on the military than the next seven countries combined, that’s insane. If we just defended our own country, we wouldn’t be spending all that money. The money is bad enough but being everywhere in the world is making us less safe, not more safe – and the job of the military is to make us safer.”
As with Ron Paul in the past, Jo Jorgensen is a pipe dream, a good dream and a viable dream, but nevertheless a pipe dream that will not see the light…
The system cannot afford someone smart and who makes sense!
I have said that I voted for Trump last time. It was the first time I ever voted with the system and who I thought would win, due to the system & due to how terrible Hillary Clinton is. Trump won….I have always been independent and voted accordingly…
Big mistake on my part. I was not true to me, I followed the crowd. This time, I am true to me. Jo Jorgensen is who I voted for…
I feel better now about myself and that is what counts. Voting for Trump has weighed heavy on me for years now. I was wrong to follow the sheep on him, just like so many followed Hillary off the cliff….it was a simple, “The lessor of two evils!” kinda vote…
Tidbit: I voted the same as I did last election 4 years ago. Yet with all the turmoil over voting this time. I have to wonder if my vote will even end up being counted. It is sad to think that you follow the rules and try, yet the system will obscure you no matter what…
I guess I am becoming more Libertarian in my thinking as I get old and grouchy(er)…

An interesting thing in life is that businesses, countries, human societies are all the same, all over the world. The only thing that is different is the degree of good and bad within each separate entity. That degree of good and bad is what separates the world into its factions. Good & Bad are determined by that society and that criteria changes like the pendulum swinging on a never ending perpetual path…
Therefore, in that part of the world you desire and or need, you feel safe and comfortable. Yet, in that other part of the world you feel threatened, exposed and degraded. Yet again, many times, that human next door to you has the opposite feelings or thereof variant on those feelings that you have…
Businesses, countries, human societies: They all have characteristics of each other that make them the same. They nurture, develop, care, offer protection, safety, shelter, training, (but they also) lie, cheat, burn bridges, create war, hate, death, they are judgemental, sadistic, expanding, degrading….just to name a few characteristics…
When the balance of characteristics are skewed to the bad and or good. Humans suffer and or flourish at the whims of the few. Especially since humans make up all these countries and businesses. Everything around the world suffers the same intimate fate. The outcome within each human society, business, country is altered by who and what is manipulating the system at that moment…
Contrary to popular belief; We love someone to be in charge and allow ourselves to bitch and complain about how bad someone is and had bad the system is and how bad life is. Throughout history we have had stories told of good kings and bad kings, weak kings and strong kings, stupid kings and smart kings. All the while, always having a king to blame for our own shortcomings. Just put boss, president, god(s) and whatnot’s in place of “king” and you will get the picture…
Somewhere in our minds we all see deep within ourselves that perfect “Mayberry R.F.D.”, “Leave it to Beaver” type of perfect society (Other words, Utopia!). We want it to meet our expectations, yet, there is only one way that that type of existence is possible. If we do not conform to the rules instilled by such a ideology? It is impossible to achieve such balance. And no one (businesses, countries, human societies) but no one, is able to agree if such balance is desirable?
While there really is much more good than bad all over the world and bad is really a small percentage of the world; The good of humans never outweighs the bad of humans….the bad is the direction that we skew towards. Humans, especially as spectators, seem to be drawn toward “bad” like a moth to flame…
This is human nature all over the world. As that pendulum swings back and forth throughout our history? We see balance and harmony during every swing back and forth. It is a huge pendulum and takes awhile to swing its path. The pendulum is driven by forces that we do not see or understand, but it does allow us to glimpse utopia. At least the utopia you see as perfect!
But two things standout predominantly as the destroyer of societies, businesses and countries. There is a whole bunch of factors (greed as one factor) around and in between these two issues we have. Yet, if we think? Umpteen problems center around just basic root problems…
1. Moral Decay and 2. Soaring Wealth/Society Inequality; are major issues that define humans & humans make up all businesses and countries…
Moral Decay & Wealth/Society Inequality are a abyss which exhausts the humans in infinite desires to self-gratify their needs, without ever reaching self-satisfaction…
These are the Achilles heel of every single human on our planet!

PS: I do not have the answers, you do not have the answers, we do not have the answers and they over there, definitely do not have the answers. Yet when that pendulum swings and I glimpse a taste of utopia as it swings by, I realize that it is obtainable. Maybe, 100,000,000 years from now, when that pendulum stops in the very middle of its downward swing? Balance will become the norm…
We are all the same in the end of things…
We have a bunch of growing up to do!
Getting the front main seal put in to stop an oil leak on Sammy the Volga. Which means I have to do a variety of transportation styles to get back to the Tiny Russian Village. Other words walking for a bunch of it…
-
- Look there! Finally at the river.
-
- It creaks and groans as you cross.
-
- Look, someone stepped on my track from earlier.

- Biggest Buck prints I have seen at TRV.
Very unusual for a Buck to wander out so late in the day. 🙂 Maybe those darn girl deer are enticing the big boys to be careless? It is rutting season you know? In fact it is at its peak right now….boys will be boys…
I would have loved to have gotten a picture of him. But of course he was running around when I was in the Big Village…

“Strengthening our country and looking at what is happening in the world, in other countries, I want to say to those who are still waiting for the gradual demise of Russia: in this case, we are only worried about one thing — how not to catch a cold at your funeral” – Putin said.
“Russia has called on other nations at the UN to lift all economic [sanctions], at least temporarily, on humanitarian grounds. I am not talking about the sanctions on Russia — I don’t care, we will survive, — but there are many other countries that have struggled and are still struggling from the coronavirus infections and they do not even need external assistance, but simply lifting of those restrictions, at least in the humanitarian sphere, on medical supplies, loans, equipment and technology transfer. Those are purely humanitarian issues, are not they? But no restrictions have been lifted for reasons that have nothing to do with humanitarian issues”, Putin said.

Anatoly Kucherena, former CIA contractor Edward Snowden’s lawyer, stated on Thursday that his client has received a permanent residence permit in Russia.
“Edward Snowden has received a permanent residence permit in Russia”, the lawyer said, adding that the procedure had taken longer than usual because of the coronavirus pandemic.
