Keep The Sunny Side Up
Passive aggression can be a terrible thing when you experience it firsthand from another person. I think you’ll be seeing lots more of this form of anti-social behavior from people as the economy deteriorates further and the pressure to maintain one’s personal status quo and lifestyle increases. I certainly am experiencing it.

Twelve Years Staying Put
In Montana, short visits can turn into long ones.
In 1998 almost everyone worried about the Y2K issue. It turned out not to be a big deal. Then came September 11, 2001, which continues to be a big deal (at least for some), and our rosily naive American outlook began to crumble across the board, eroding [...]
American Weekend
A local couple looks forward to a long weekend attending a music festival 120 miles from their mountaintop home. Man gets up early the day before they plan to depart and drives his econobox diesel import 90 miles closer to the event to set up a tent early (he’s a cautious guy) to reserve a [...]
Think It’s Bad Now?
Enjoy what could well be our last few months of culturally reinforced American insularity and relative plenitude. But at least put this bit of news in your pipe and smoke it in the meantime. Talk about it with family and friends. Or start digging up your backyard to grow some veggies.

This Is My Country Too
Everything Americans think they know, they learned from a televised morality play. It’s all theater. You root for some good guy and boo some bad guy. You pick your own, but you dance to the tune of the men running the show. It’s mind control, pure and simple, and if there is an American immune [...]
120 Minutes
Ready to live more in the next couple of hours than the rest of your life to date? Just tell yourself you have only 120 minutes to live. (Whisper it to yourself a few times, it helps to get this profundity front and center in your mind.)
Of course time will pass the same no [...]
Freedom Is Just Another Word
Sage words of advice by Koa on finding true freedom in this whacked-out world. A compelling personal statement wrapped around a warning to prepare for what’s next if ever there was one.
Thanks to Survival Acres (John) for posting this where I could stumble across it.
Dump the Good Ship Lollipop? Good luck.
People generally like to change, but only because they want to: lose weight, quit smoking, find or lose God, make or save more money, get sober, or even get drunk. But sometimes people are confronted with change because they have no other choice. Since this involuntary change taints America’s manifest destiny to do as [...]
Dead People Balking
Running and writing for a blog that deals head on with you and your connection to some of the top issues facing humanity and all life on Earth is tantamount to standing on a street corner 24/7 handing out “Repent Now!” flyers to people as they pass by. Most of the flyers get tossed without [...]
Climate resets ‘Doomsday Clock’
The venerable “Doomsday Clock” from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has been expanded to include the ever increasing climate threat.
Add global warming to nuclear threats. Move the minute hand to five minutes before midnight. Set your alarm. Sweet dreams…
