Wow, double snake eyes! 1-1-11
Happy New Year, readers and patriots.
This past week I was doing some research on the “Littlestuff” site and discovered that we had readers from nine (9) countries. If I were multi-lingual, there could be more. I’m not, so there will not be.
As of now, we are supposed to replace our fast-starting brightly lit light bulbs with the toxic environmental nightmares that Fred Upton recommended and legislated. Now he’s the GOP chair of the committee that oversees this crap.
I love gold and soybeans because they both have futures (pork bellies, too). When you’re over 50, anything with a future is attractive.
This New Years I’m reminded that I rarely drink …because I rarely drink. One makes me happy and 2 make me stupid.
This 40 degree weather that we enjoyed for the past couple of days makes me yearn to begin gardening. I didn’t plant one last year because of the campaign. I am converting our little Pat-Ch of Paradise to organic, so I’m rather selective about what I plant. In February I’ll start seeds in the basement. I purchased some Heritage seeds because the seeds from the fruit can be saved and planted unlike many hybrids and GMO varieties. I will use rye grass as a buffer to minimize drift from neighbors who farm conventionally, but if we can increase our acreage, I’ll use switch grass then pelletize it to use for heat in the shop or greenhouse. Never thought that I’d see the day that I foraged on Craig’s List for “manure.”
If you’ve ever observed a cat and a dog eating, you’ll note that the cat takes dainty little bites, but the dog gobbles the food…”wolfs it down.” In Congress this year we need people with the dog’s attitude to attack and destroy the overwhelming number of noxious laws, rules and regulations that are strangling our economy and our liberty. My fear is that they may behave more like cats…kitty cats.
If any of you need a speaker sometime from January 24th through February 3rd, I am available as of today (1-1-2011). I have a presentation about the Fair Tax, or I can discuss nullification and a legislative strategy to achieve it. Just contact me at earl4sos@gmail.com .
Found a new author that I like, Pauline Maier, an historian who has written extensively about the Founding. I am anticipating reading all of her work.
It’s exciting. If I have calculated correctly, I will have all the Christmas leftovers consumed by bedtime tonight.
I resolutely resolve not to resolve any resolutions.
Liberty is tough to achieve, and even more difficult to maintain.
We have the I.Q. test to measure raw intelligence. What do we use to measure a person’s heart? How do we calculate compassion or courage?
The Buckeye Football team plays Tuesday night at 8:30pm versus Arkansas. It should be an interesting Sugar Bowl given all the uproar surrounding some of the team’s stars.
Note: In yesterday’s column I discussed the weakened dollar and inflation. An example is that it requires 50 cents to purchase today what cost 20 cents in 1980. Twenty cents…I guess we could call that a “Pair-a-Dime” shift.
May your 2011 exceed all your expectations. May the year be even better than you can imagine. Have a wonderful 2011!
Charlie
