The lack of words here

You may have noticed that I have not been blogging much of late.  I don't know why that is, it wasn't a conscious decision of mine to stop writing actually.  I did make an effort over the last few weeks to reduce the amount of time I spend browsing the web and reading the news, this seems to result in fewer posts here.  I also had my camera die a while back and I decided not to fix it because I've found that when I'm taking pictures I'm not really in the moment, I'm in the future imagining what the shots will look like instead of just being IN the shot and in the moment.  I've been enjoying things more this way to tell the truth, I see more with my eyes than I do through the lens.  Frequently I see things in photos I didn't notice at the time that I am sure I would have seen if I wasn't peering through the camera.  :-)

So...

Last Thursday, the last day of nice weather before the current spate of nasty weather hit us, I went hiking in the Morgan Territory above the valley in the hills north of Mt. Diablo.  I saw two coyotes from about 50 yards away and enjoyed the cool sunshine and thousands of birds as I slogged through the muddy trails.

Yesterday was Serenity's 10th birthday, we went to "Boomers" in Livermore for the party and the kids, and Lora and JD, had a good time.  Me, after the cake and pizza, I went home for a nice Sunday afternoon nap :-)

This coming Sunday Serenity and I will be heading south to the Mojave Desert to camp out with a bunch of other homeschoolers in Joshua Tree National Park.  I'm really looking forward to that :-)

There, I'm all updated now :-)

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

Government = Violence

What it comes down to is this, any law you propose states this, I will kill you if you do not agree to do "X." I say this because ALL laws say this. All . Jay walking is a "crime." So, what does that mean? It means if you jay walk you risk death at the hands of government enforcers. How so? You are accosted while jay walking by the local police. You say, "Buzz off bucko!" The cop says "you are under arrest!" You say "Not even." They attempt to restrain you and you resist, you are now "resisting arrest" and in the process of subduing you force will be used to make you to comply. The harder you resist the more likely "they" are to simply kill you. All laws imply deadly force. All laws = the death penalty. Of course they won't say you are being killed for the "crime" of jay walking, but for resisting arrest or attempting to escape or whatever, but really it's the original "crim
