I'd like to know where the sunrise went...looked as though we WERE going to have one, but it appears that clouds are taking care of that nicely.The Hoosierland weather today should follow in yesterday's tracks, sans the sun for the most part. Oh, HERE comes the sun...finally.
Temps are expected to rise into the low 80s, and if you catch a breeze outside, hang onto it.
In the meantime, let's see what's on my mind today, shall we?
*** First out of the chute is this month's homage to important events which are overlooked, otherwise known as:
Bobby G's This Day in August History!
August 13 -
1831 - Nat Turner sees a solar eclipse, which he believes is a sign from God. Eight days later, he and 70 other slaves kill approximately 55 whites in Southampton County, Virginia.
1918 - Women enlist in the USMC for the FIRST time.
Opha Mae Johnson is the first woman to enlist. Semper Fi!
1942 - Major General Eugene Reybold of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authorizes the construction of facilities that would house the "Development of Substitute Materials" project,. otherwise known as THE MANHATTAN PROJECT.
1961 - East Germany closes the border between the eastern and western sectors of Berlin, in order to prevent it's inhabitants from escaping to the West.
And, it is the observance of International Lefthanders Day, so try and shake hands with one...
And now, for something completely different...
*** The AMC series Breaking Bad is winding down with it's last several eps, and although I "tried" watching it when it began, I found it disturbing...even more than zombies walking about.
Here's a link to a story in today's paper:
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20130813/ENT03/308139947/0/SEARCH
Yepper, 5 seasons of meth addicts, shooting, violent drug trafficking, and other assorted "stuff".
Kinda sounds like Fort Wayne on a Friday night, doesn't it?.
But, blue meth CANDY???
It means that people should THINK before they ACT...('ya think?)
Still, it means good BUSINESS for this city in New Mexico.
Helluva way to bring in tax revenue for a city in America.
Anyone ELSE find this highly disturbing?
Personally, I'm glad that Breaking Bad is going of the air, which begs the question "what the hell is coming next which will be worse than this"?
*** And, while we're in the subject OF Mexico, there's THIS:
http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/story/23101374/2013/08/10/loophole-people-being-told-to-use-key-words-to-cross-border
Talk about a "loophole" in our border and immigration laws.
Hell, that's a big enough loophole to drive a damn FREIGHT TRAIN through...with room to spare!
He's too busy turning loose all the "low-level" drug DEALERS onto our streets to mingle with all the illegals. Sure, let the poison-merchants kill people off...next step, legalization OF the drugs themselves, right?
This turd first allows guns to GO to Mexico (Fast and Furious), and then turns a blind eye to the border WITH Mexico...well, that most SURELY will provide a solid and assured VOTER BASE for the democrats in years to come, will it not?
Can you say TREASONOUS actions?
That's certainly ONE method to undermine American laws and further class warfare.Keep the people,. high, stupid (un-armed) and entitled..so you can CONTROL them.
And, did you know that REFUGEE status "entitles" you to damn near EVERYTHING that a person who was BORN in America is able to have?
Access to every program that reaches into taxpayers' pockets...gotta LOVE that.
*** This whole NSA flap over monitoring people and their emails and phone calls should bother every single American citizen.
But, did you know that this agency has compiled a "list" of specific WORDS that could get them to notice you whenever you speak them on the phone or type them on an email (or even a blog)?
And, because you asked for it, here is this list of specific words:
-- Words that the NSA might use to monitor you - flagged words.

===============================
And now you know a HELLUVA LOT MORE than you did a few minutes ago, right?
So, how many of THESE can YOU fit into ONE sentence?
Big Brother is watching...and listening...cool, huh?
What?
The word BOB is in that list?
WTF is THAT all about???
*** Lastly, to say these are perilous times for us in America would be a bloody understatement.
It seems that every morning, we're walking along a razor's edge.
We look over our shoulders, double or triple lock our doors, bar our windows, and arm up JUST so we can feel secure enough to feel free.
We haven't begun to lose them all at once...but rather little by little.
That's how the progressives pull this stunt off.
They will say "it's for your own protection and safety", whether it's the food you eat, the beverages you drink, the cars you drive, or the light-bulbs you use.
And "they" are wrong.
WE are the best determiner of what we NEED, what we WANT, what is GOOD for us, and what is BAD for us.
If we can't figure THAT much out, then we need to LEARN such things, either through being TAUGHT, OR, better still, ON OUR OWN, and not by what some politician says, what a news organization says, or even what I say here.
You find out things for YOURSELF.
It's YOUR decision as to what you require in your life, and if that means doing nothing, then the bad-intentioned people of the world have already won.
But, if you value the freedoms, liberties and security that can be afforded by personal involvement, then, by all means, do what YOU need to do to keep that which is laid out in our founding documents for ALL our posterity.
The future will be here before you know it.
Stay SAFE out there, America.
