 My guest preparing Thanksgiving dinner


November 2020


Poems:

We need to take responsibility for our actions and not blame others for our failures. We have to learn to think for ourselves, to sort out the facts on our own, and not rely on others to do it for us.

~RD


Our fierce visceral struggle with reality, our fight with God and the Devil between right and wrong, existence or annihilation, our search of some greater truth and unbounded knowledge versus an unremarkable life, a war that rages on in our minds, endlessly tormenting us will finally be decided and laid to rest, not by you, me, or anyone else for that matter.... but by death; the ultimate jury.

~RD


A difference of opinion over Politics isn’t something you should ever lose friends or family members over... it’s like; you believe in fairy dust and unicorns and I believe in ogres and trolls... get over it and search for the love that’s gone missing in your life.

~RD


If I say I don’t give a shit it probably means I do give a shit because if I didn’t give a shit I wouldn’t say anything.

~RD

Sunday 01- 80/49F I did my stretches, core trainer, weight bench, 100 crunches, and beat on the heavybag.


Monday 02- 84/50F I did my stretches. Just not feeling up to doing anything.


Tuesday 03- 88/56F and clear. I am still feeling ill but a bit better.


Wednesday 04- 90/57F and clear with a few clouds rolling into the evening. I am feeling much better today! I did my stretches, core trainer, weight bench, 100 crunches, and beat on the heavybag.

Dave came over for a visit and then Kjtel and Bodha came by and we all sat around in my front yard and jawed away for a spell.

Monday 09- 58/34F cold. I did my stretches and took Cassie for a mile run.

I spent much of the day cutting wood for my wood stove to keep me warm through the winter.

I did my studies.

At 6:05PM there was adid it sound like a fully automatic weapon?

the way it ripped sounded like one to me but I was mighty excited going for my 38 SW yeah... when I hear them reload it was a ripping sound slightly different than the first

very loud... I swear I thought it was right outside cause I saw the flashes 

they don't care... I've seen folks without Army training do some dumb shit

usually, they fire them off near the mountain south of us

out here they don't care that much

I don't think they would hear you with their ears ringing

The police were already here talking to David. he didn't mention us but the police saw our footprints all over the place and asked him about them. David says he didn't see anyone else.

They just left half hour ago

it's the first time anything like this has happened this close to me

 

Tuesday 10- 62/37F nice day. I did my stretches, core trainer, weight bench, 100 crunches, and beat on the heavybag.

I took Cassie for a mile jog but as I came around to Dave’s house there was a detective investigating the shooting last night and asked if I wouldn’t mind answering a few questions; I didn’t mind at all.

Me and my guest went to Twentynine Palms to pick up packages at the post office and do some shopping at Stater Bros. 

I did my studies.


Wednesday 11- 67/40F sunny. I did my stretches and exercised with the 15lb dumbbells. Took Cassie for a walk up to visit David to see how he’s doing after last night’s terror in the streets of Copper Mountain Mesa.

Now that I have the Anatomy book all colored in and completed, I started training on my AI NVIDIA Nano computer.

Wednesday 18- 82/49F a little breezy. I did my stretches and went to work aligning the solar panels so they are tilted more to the south.


Thursday 19- 75/43F a nice day. I did my stretches. I hooked up the new antenna and got all my missing stations but I lost all the Korean, Spanish, and Chinese language stations I really didn’t care to watch anyway. I think it has to do with the new ATSC 3.0 over the air format because this new antenna is tuned for it. 

I dropped by neighbor Dave’s house and he had set up an archery field with two stacks of hay with bullseye targets on each. I told him I had purchased a bow a few months back and never found the time to practice. He let me shoot off a few and I hit the target twice.

I stopped by Home Depot to get a few things I needed to complete my plumbing job I started. I am plumbing a drain to the indoor shower and sink and running it to the desert willow outside; nothing goes to waste around here.
