Yes, we all need to stay grey and head on a swivel in these times. But it wears you down.

Today I had an absolutely wonderful impromptu stress reliever. And it was needed.
I had an inspection today in a college town in southern VA. Across the parking lot from my assignment was about 25 very good looking college age women doing what looked like a cross between yoga, crossfit and stripper training..........All wearing tight and very form fitting yoga pants (mmm-yoga pants!) and equally skin tight tank tops. May have been cheerleader practice for all I know. It was a welcome diversion and I completely forgot about the world's problems. Their gyrations alone made me forget about everything, good Lord they were all so cute! Watched for about 10 minutes or so-it did wonders for my disposition.

Theres' a lot of ugly in the world today. But don't forget that God stocked this planet with all kinds of beauty-human, plant, animal. Take a minute or two and seek out beauty in all its' forms, It's good for you!

Dennis,
You know I've been here for a LONG time and I've seen a lot of doom and gloom and predictions over the years that never panned out, but I think you're spot on. Revolution is in the air and it seems like all pretense is being dropped. My gut tells me things will just kind of simmer until November and regardless of which party wins, it boils over either because of Trump's re-election and the sheer anger that will cause or if Biden wins, the radical left thinks their message won and they go all out on pushing their agendas outside the Liberal strongholds.
I even get a strange feeling here on TB2K... The Bomb Shelter is relatively quiet, everything is just quiet.

But if Trump wins we'll see heavy law enforcing, guard, no resources spared.

IE: the right might not have to fight.


If "biden" wins....

It's a numbers game.

How many antifafa faggots vs. how many cops?

Most departments are tapped out when they have to present a response at one or two riot scenes.

How to bathe a cat. I once did 10 cats in an afternoon, because my roommate and I got a flea infestation. Trust me.

1. Roll a giant doobie. Puff it all over the bathroom.

2. Pick up cat, bring into bathroom and shut the door. Put cat in empty tub. Cat will jump out.

3. While cat is getting a buzz, run some lukewarm water into the tub. Not much. Put cat in tub. Cat will jump out. Don't blast the water. Cats don't like that.

4. Run a little more warm water in tub while cat gets more buzzed. Talk soothingly. Put cat in tub. Water should be about 6" deep. Hold cat and continue to talk calmly while you put flea shampoo in ring around neck. Work your way down.

5. You have previously filled some pitchers with warm water before cat bath started. Grab one and pour over cat. Splash water from tub up under kitty private parts. Pour more water on cat. If all the soap is out, take a fluffy towel and wrap around cat.

6. You should be done with no damage to either of you.

7. Puff on more spliffs as need be for each cat you are doing. If you don't have any, I would think CBD in a pipe or joint would calm them down too.

Ha. Or better yet, try to get it to do something it doesn't think it should do because it would be in danger of losing its cat card. Always good for a laff - the durned things.

You mean like teaching it to use the toilet? My nice did that. I was quite impressed.

I have noticed that Dobbin really talks a lot for a horse. With all that talking, you'd think he'd get horse.

Pretty high tech. Wonder if the kids today could design it. We made pipe bombs. Used them to blow up wrecked autos at the town dump. Never occurred to us to blow up the school.

The old lady was just your normal downtown crazy, Dennis. Loud, obnoxious, howling like a fruitcake, but not a threat, violent or requiring more than good situational awareness. Now the first crazy was an entirely different thang. He was male, clearly yelling to himself, obviously potentially VIOLENT. Sitting on a park bench, agitated, mumbling, yelling, getting up, sitting back down etc
It was only after he got up, started shadow boxing, that I left. My threat sense spiked when he got up, started yelling, then shadow boxing. It is THIS type of crazy I keep my eyes peeled for and evict myself from the area since it is this type of crazy that tends to get shot.

One day at a time. (Matthew 6:34)

And if you're not saved, please call on Jesus. (Acts 4:12 / Romans 10:9)

What's coming, none of us are prepared for. (Matthew 24:21)

But the Lord can give you peace in the midst of it all.

John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

John 14:1, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."

Jesus is God.

Isaiah 45:5-6, "
5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. "

My mom started preparing my brother and I way back in the 70's she'd check out the movies from the local library about the death camps and Hitlers Germany, and she also checked out the reel to reel projector, and would make us watch them. She was absolutely insistent that we would see something similar play out in our lifetimes.

I find myself tempted to do the same with my daughter, who, thankfully, likes history.

I find guerilla gardening helpful. I have been heavily pruning trees with my pole chainsaw this week. (Also cut down two smaller trees.) I defoliated the trimmings with hand clippers. Filled 3 large green barrels for the garbage pick up this week.

I get really tired, but sleep well. I have to sleep with compression gloves to counter the arthritis pain. I go out every day just after I post my COVID 19 shite.

A localized Patrick Mcmanus panic in place. Don't put it off. Just get it over with. Afterward we can get on with more important things like life. :)

I remind myself often that not only does Sh*t Happen
Sh*t is Always Happening
This is my mantra so I'm never surprised
Life is about handling whatever Sh*t comes your way
No reason to be offended by the Sh*t you receive

Who knows whether you have not come to the Kingdom for such a time as this. Esther 4:14

There is also the point that sometimes in writing, people can seem a lot more upset or about to panic than they really are; this is probably one reason that emoticons are now so popular with many people, teachers report having great difficulty getting kids to write without them (they do make emotions easier than old fashioned good writing skills).

But it is important during times like this to take breaks, I do a lot of knitting and watch some wonderful documentaries last night with some of the latest photos and images taken by telescopes - there is nothing like an amazing photo of the crab nebula in technicolor to help put things into a bit of perspective.

PS - shameless plug, I have full instructions for how to bath a cat in my book! I even have the "nice" way where you train a young kitten to enjoy it and "the fast way" when your trying to wash a terrified barn kitty that just got into some motor oil and the vet is closed.
