Caswell Photos

Well, Serenity, Lora and me only made the very last night of the SFBUN annual campout at Caswell State Park, we had a blast for that day and night though! As usual Serenity was the last to bed and the last out of bed in the morning ;-) Temperatures have been over 100 for the last four days, that can stop any time now. Actually it's supposed to cool down to the mid 90's tomorrow. That would be nice.

Here are some photos from that day at Caswell... the talent show was very cool!

  1. You all are good at campouts. Kari is on a camping trip this weekend. I have been out of that scene for quite some time. That looked like a nice park. Did Serenity & or Lora participate in the talent show?

    We win!! 113 today. Bella said that they had quite a poor-down in Gold Canyon including heavy winds. We had the wind but no rain. Boo Hoo!

  2. Nope, Lora and Serenity nor I had the nerve to be in the talent show. Yep, you win at 113, we only made 101 today, that's 5 days in a row over 100 though, which really is too much. We'll be camping again in two weeks too :-)

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...

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.

I give up.

Over the last couple of years I have made a huge effort to convince myself that the Lutheran view of government had some merit. I've read everything recommended by Lutherans on the subject but I just can't make myself believe it. I can't believe it because I am certain that it is, quite simply, wrong. It is possible that I misunderstand the Lutheran position still, but I don't think that is the case. Lutherans teach that government is a blessing from God, a positive good. I think that this is wrong. In reality government is a curse and an evil. Even God warned Israel that a king (government) was a terrible idea that was against His will for them. (1 Samuel 8:4-19) We are certainly commanded in Romans 13:1-7 to obey and honor those in power over us, but in no place in the New Testament, at least no place that I'm aware of, is it even remotely implied that we ought to participate actively in any government, even less is it implied that we have some duty to part...
