I am into reading my book this weekend for the most part.  Sorry to hear of your flooding...but I remeber reading that they felt the climate change going on will push the colder and wilder weather more into England..and from what I read, they don' think it will let up none to soon, any more then our crazy weather over here. Our weather patterns changed when they started forcing the climate/jet stream to come up our western coastline more so then the westernly track it use to take. Not only did our weather change for wild storms of alomost hurricane strength on the coast line...be inland is drier more...all our vegetation is harly hanging on from what it use to be like. When we get rain it's been more on the wester side of Portland going northward...not over Mt. Hood as it needs to be to be normal. But then again, there was an time when if it rained across the state...we too were facing conintual flooding going on.  Instead, now the city air pollution hangs around and cancer is prevelent in the people. Because it doesn't get blown away and especially fromt eh chemtrailing that goes on some days. So it is...California weather forced upon us..by those playing God. They work hard to make Mt. Hood an barren rock year around these days with the climate manipullation and the air pollution, and chemtrailing. Thereis little the average guy on the street can defend himself in this reguard. Nurseries have taken thier crops to greehouse growing thatpopulation" then I don' t think.

My book reading last night left me sadden as I read the real rampage of what war does to everyone. How the towns are burned and fields destroyed, there's now an lack of food and sustainabilty as the surviors take up living in anything they can find, thier rents and taxes they can not pay for nothing exists in which to earn money with....the women are brutally raped, young daughters also..as they kill the menfolk first  in trying to protect them...and those whom took the spoils resort to the taverns when they can to drink their minds out of the killing they were involved with. Not to mention, many of them are disabled afterward and many uneducated and somewhat brain dead from shock.. fighting and being wounded.  Even the noblemen are barely holding on. Then of course comes the stench of the dead and disease. They finally have an harvest, but not enough people left alive to harvest it. Loyalties to anyone is rather dubious. Truth is kind of lacking. Justice seems to come to readly with death sentences also...because there is no food sources left hardly to feed and care for prisoners.... if they can't be ransomed for money....but on they march..ready for war, the only object...winning and over taking what they think is the rich posessions of others... for free of charge. so it is they take and get taken from them...and all are sorrowful paupers waiting to die in the long run...in death there is savation of an God supposedly..and mercy.  The savage seems to outlast the those that are cilvilzed. The book author says the historical facts are correct.... and not fiction....their lives and much what happened is truth....it really did happen. So it makes you wonder...why the miltiary works so hard at keeping the world in this "hellish"state...reguardless of the weapons they use. 

I have learned two things from all this for modern man...these survivalist in the world of today know what they are talking about with knowing archery(particularly long bows) and how to make mocktof (spelling) bottle bombs from everyday liquor. They would never survive today's  technological military weapons, but might local squirmish fighting in an aftermath situation. I was watching an survivalst show with an man teaching his young children how to make vodka bombs...he didn't feel they were old enough to use an gun effectively...but could with help of an  small catapult hurl the lighted bottle bombs some distance for protection from his residence.

Today is the last day off for everyone then everyone returns to work tomarrow/school/ diets and what else on the regular agenda. My grand- daughter is here sleeping, having stayed over night... and babysitting her cousin's baby at their house. I go buy pizza for dinner today I think...all ready made pizza...as I know cooking steals time from eating and sleeping. Have an good day everyone.

I feel the peacefulness of everyone resuming  an regular schedule today...sissy cried yesterday when I made her wake up because her dad wanted her delivered along with the pizza to the rest of the family as they left the tree re-cycle.  She has been since an baby, not wanting to leave my house nor grandpa or me.  Just slightly before we left the house we lost electrical power from high winds I would guess, unusal to this area...but rain comes in tonight...and this morning's sunrise was crimson red...as they say..Red sky in morning. sailor take warning....Red sky at night...sailor's delight.  

I was going into Jim Berkland's web site and lo and behold..what do I see, but his posting looking almost as bad as some of mine in spelling...you can hardly make it out to read it... and you know he's not that way at all...so I wonder who it is that is passing on this uneducated manner of impersonating others.They have followed me for years now...but now  "Job'. An career Govt geologist and certified at that by the state of California, teacher in geology and speaker in world conferences on earthquakes...and college graduate. Yet you can hardly make out the posting for the mispellings in incoherent wordage. I guess tiem to write him an letter...or call him. He's helped me before when whomever has tried to take me off his web site..and they did an good job on nearly closing his down completely...picking on everyone else in it. They forced the people to register, to get away from this intruder...and lost an good share of the people in that process. Retired now, he counts on his newsletters and the web site for extra income every month. He does have another adversary likes to fight with him continually....known as "Roger"...who came over to our site at earthboppin and tried to do much the same. Ryan kicked his rearend out there...and bit more savy webmaster then Berkalnd is...Berkland is more into academics then computers.. I go for now...Have an good day everyone.

Greetings one and all.  Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year's.  I have missed being around here lately, but you know how "life" can be sometimes.  I did want to let you all know that, sadly, after many bouts with illness and being in and out of the hospital many times, my mother, Helen Newkirk, passed away peacefully on December 30th.  She was 81 and had dealt with a variety of health issues over the years, bouncing back miraculously so many times until this last time.  The pastor said that little body of hers simply wore out.  Everyone remarked on what a sweet lady she was, and that is an accurate description of her.  Her Christian faith never waivered, and comfort comes from believing/knowing she is now free from pain and suffering and is resting with our Dear Lord in Heaven.
