Greed is an incredibly contagious disease 🦠 And, it’s a shame when anyone catches it.

What I'm reading.. Thomas Hardy, and a wee rant.

Sorry no Tuesday Tails.  But there is another strange wind blowing, a Santa Ana style wind coming out of the WEST!???  I have no idea why this is happening but I mean to find out. I cannot stand wind.  If there is rain out there for us, this thing will hang it out to dry over the Pacific!

The little paper holder is from a Summer program for children that an amazing woman ran out of a converted school bus

Under The Greenwood Tree.  I certainly hope this is a "Happy" book.  I know nothing about it except that I've always liked Thomas Hardy novels. The Netflix blurb about a film of that title,based on the book, made it sound, well, "Happy".  I'll just hope it's a little serendipitous find, this Hardy book, as an antidote for the Revelation of  Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics ( The link goes to a TED talk by Sebastian Wernicke) in  Area 51, by Annie Jacobsen.

Rant Alert:  This is the last rant about anything to do with Elites, Politicians, or Government's revolving doors.  I'm done.  They exist, they are evil, and have had the GALL to call some other governments The Axis of Evil.  I find this trait of the Bush administration both disingenuous and insulting.

Since we have been speaking of lies, Bush Jr, that Yale cheerleader, took us into two wars based on lies he told to all of his fellow Americans, save those who were in on the secret.

I'm very offended by it all.  I don't think I'm the only person alive who knows that Bush used his power, just before leaving office, to make an executive order that sealed both his and his father's Presidential papers away for, basically, 150 years.  That means that they, and everyone of their ilk, now will be safely dead before anyone else, using the Freedom of Information Act, can find out just what really happened during his or his father's terms. Why would he do such a thing?  Your guess is as good as mine, but I know what I think.

And another thing.  Just why did Bush Sr. buy a million acre ranch in Paraguay, right next to the American Army base there?   Paraguay is right in the middle of South America, more or less.  Is it a Fishing Haven? Are there lots of Game animals to be had?  There are just so many questions.

Perhaps they mean to be safe when someone starts WWIII?   Are they all going to just hightail it out on the Lear Jets loaded with enough fine wine to last the half life of plutonium?  Will they go dig up their pre-buried gold doubloons from under the tarmac of the amazingly long runway that was built there?  Are they planning to live like kings?  They already do, you know.  And, why gold?  Because Gold doesn't go radioactive.

And, when the land they once called "The Land of My Forefathers" is cleared of human occupants - yet again, will they all just roll right back in here and claim it ALL for the New Emperor of the Earth?  Just a few questions....  No, I don't read conspiracy web pages.  I just read the newspaper, now and again, and I also tend to read Non-Fiction books about Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.

I don't want to rant anymore, ever!  There are upstanding members of Congress and Non Profit Corporations who do a much better job of this.  I'm going to knit, sew, paint and  fire ceramics and make as many pretty little things to give to the kids and my beloved friends and family and MY Fellow Citizens as I've got the time to do.  I'll sell some of these things on Etsy and donate profits to Women for Women, or Doctors Without Borders, but I'm not going to waste another scintilla of effort on our corrupt political system.  I just want to share a little bit of beauty, here and there, to offset the horrendous, Soul Crushing, Political Circus we've been being treated to.

I'm done.
