I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

Why The Stupid Reigns

Because of never ending crap from our liberal press who wants to destroy Amerika (corporations,the top 1%, and of course the pentawhores). Rubbish like this.


Palmer Palin plays coy about plans at start of family bus tour.

It will never end. This is what people want and there are ever so many who rush to give the sheeple what they want. Who gives a shit about this ignorant slut.

None of us guys that's for damn sure.

Memorial Day 2011

5/30/11
Same as it ever was except we have another war front in Libya. We love our wars more than anything else. Always plenty for that - you betcha!

Another year gone by and this post remains accurate and pertinent. The state of the nation will not be discussed today. Have a safe and fun filled holiday with your family and friends.

Today 5/25/09   It the same a year later just as it was the same six years ago. This post has a much merit now as it did then and will have more next year. We are not leaving Iraq for years as the plan was just that from the beginning. That has not changed and is not going to no matter what is said. It is so sad. There have been 18 of ours killed in Iraq so far this month and that will never stop until we are gone.

Memorial Day Today And Five Years Ago

These pictures were taken five long years ago the very same scene above being played out once again today for the sixth time at the same place here and everywhere around our country since the invasion of Iraq. Each flag here a representation of a veteran who is no longer with us.

There is not a person I know who does not respect the service any man or women has given to this country but given these times and this day of remembrance Iraq and those who put us there has got to be part of the picture. The vets from this small Iowa town were adamantly opposed to the invasion and remain opposed to the chain of events since then.  How many more of the same scene above will play out while this country occupies Iraq? It's likely there will be many.

With the war whores pounding the drums for war leading up to the invasion the opposition to such a venture was not heard from those who understood the ramifications of such an action namely the vets above and those no longer with us who now include my own Father. Although OTC did not exist five years ago the stance taken at that time remains the same today. We were one of the biggest supporters of the troops then and now. We supported them not going to Iraq and continue to support them coming home to their families immediately!!

Thank you to all Veterans past and present for your service and sacrifices and may the future for those who are serving abroad in this theater called Iraq and Afghanistan be able to return home very soon. That is my hope but the reality at this time is that many more graves will be dug for the casualties of this debacle.

To The Ranch

To do some work and buy materials to fix up the place I will live. It was snowing yesterday and it's raining this morning. This is what's coming next week like I've been saying as it looks like after two months plus of inclement weather the sun and temperatures will start the runoff. We still do not have real leaves yet. Have a good weekend!

Business Is Good

Don't ever believe the oil and gas company's when they bitch and moan about too many regulations to do business. Take a look at the number of wells in this picture and if you go out there you will find many that are new and there are monster facilities that have been built and that are under construction to process and or help with the distribution. This is located SW of Rangely,CO and south of Vernal,UT. This is just a small part of it. What's located at the arrow though is this and it's called Fantasy Canyon and it's unfortunate it's surrounded by these wells as it stinks bad out there because it's way too cool.


The area shown is about 15 miles wide.

It's raining and looks like it's going to snow.

I Think It Was The Sun

That's what's been on everyone's mind. It actually came out yesterday about three in the afternoon. In any case this was a good tune back then and remains so today. May the sun shine where you are at today.

Deny All You Want This Ain't Right

In my lifetime I have seen weather patterns change in two different locations. Iowa and Colorado with the difference being it basically quit snowing in certain parts. Is this evidence of climate change in the scientific sense? Of course not.

When the real evidence was brought forth by scientists from all over the world they were ridiculed out of the room by the right wing. The corporations profits cannot be denied.

One thing that always stood out dramatically when new data was analyzed was that here were the smartest people in the world and almost always in the piece that was written they continually underestimated the rate of decline. That is significant.

Here are the results of doing nothing. How many storms have we seen like this one after another. Storms that reach from Canada into the Gulf sometimes six or eight states wide and in the winter as well.

Not only is the Empire in steep decline but our planet as well. We will never see normal weather patterns ever again and you do not have to be a scientist to come to that conclusion.

When I was a kid and thunderstorms would roll through at night Mom would light a holy candle and hope for the best. That was spookier than the storm.

I feel for the kids and everyone for that matter in the mid-west as I can tell you I would be so scared of these storms I don't think I could sleep at night.

May the storms stop today please!

River Rants

Because we've been talking rivers around here and my bud Fearguth has left a couple interesting comments I drug up this video Phil and I did back in fall '09. Not that it's that good but there are some interesting things in it. We try anyway. At the end of the movie you see where the Green River and the Yampa meet in Echo park. This was an impressive ride to get there and need to do it again while I still live here.



This is what the Green looked like less than two weeks ago at Jensen,UT. They say it will reach the bottom of the bridge and possibly a bit more. OH MY!

Toga Toga Toga

History doesn't tell us who uttered those words made famous many years later but started here on the Green River. The locals saw boats approaching and they looked like they were in trouble.

They were surrounded by sharks and with the help of the locals made it to shore and safety. It was then those words were heard an lo and behold the visitor and his entourage was John Wesley Powell.

The music began in earnest.

All wore smiles.

 The bubbly flowed like the Green River itself.

The dancing girls danced harder and there were more smiles.

Legend along the river has it that later on in the evening this fellow and his buddy's showed up and gave the parties a light show in the sky that capped the end of a fine party along the river those so many years ago.


Disclaimer: The only thing that's true is that there is a Green River. Powell did come through here. The pictures and art shown are very close to the river. The rest is pretty much pure rubbish.

It Got Loose Somehow

It's true and let's be clear with the bitching and moaning that goes on here about the shitty weather the last seven weeks and I do mean shitty! No one has been hurt period as many have around the country. It's human nature to bitch about the weather and if you come from a cornfield bottom line there's gonna be talk about the weather and a bunch too. Just the way it is. Our flooding is coming and what's left to determine is how bad it will it be. The weather will determine that ya see.

Having said that yesterday was a real pisser. It sucked but today  - yes today the sun returned after four days of real ugly and crappy. YES!

Taken just a bit ago this is the Yampa River one that will flood. Historically this has not flooded here but we also have historical numbers of snow as well.


I'm going for a ride and look around. Have a good one everybody.

You had to be tough to live out here by yourself for years miles from nowhere and this women was just that. Use your imagination. She used two box canyons to corral her animals one which had a spring. This is also where these grow only.






You are looking at one of the box canyons above this building. The other is a ways to the right (east) of this one.

The exact location of this site is lower center right.
