Its always nice, after ages and ages of weather, to see some reversal of the trend. After weeks and weeks of weather, way too much weather, the sun is out and there is no appreciable rainfall on the horizon.
Now I got to get the place here cleaned up. Its a big job. Will take a bit of time. And all of that is ok.
With my cattle gone I am going to open the fences up and turn the place into 100acres of dirt tracks. I have 3 dirt bikes and 2 quads. Looking to buy a couple shit-box old cars and a 4×4. My buddies that run the local motorcycle shop are dealers for very cool 4×4 buggies. Trying to get them engaged so they use the place here as their proving ground.
Of course I like the idea of a lot of noise and nuance for my shitty neighbours. I’ll put the track as close to their house as possible, and pull the baffles out of all the exhaust systems. Premeditated “good neighbour” stuff, eh?
Watching as Ukrainians get beaten and battered, but do not give up or give in. Tough bastards, they be.
Of course, Putin has miscalculated by a huge degree. How long will he last, as-is? A long time would be my guess. Will someone in the upper tiers of Russian administration “take him out”? It’d be a one way ticket. Either make it happen or watch your entire life be brutally destroyed.
I still believe the Western leadership are a pack of fucking pussies. But then there is nothing new there.
Sorta like living next door to a domestic abuse situation… the father/ husband is beating the shit outta the dog, raping the children, whoring out the wife, and everyone knows and watches, but says little or nothing.
Until when… Our sanctimonious BS attitudes and platitudes only go so far. And that’s not very far at all.
Of course, Putin emboldens other would be territorial grabs. Taiwan will be next??? Will the US and Japan push China back when they “make their move”? We have not really thought much about Korea recently. And Iran. Empowering authoritarianism is what is happening.
And the beat goes on.
