I am an older gentleman now in retirement. I have paid my dues to the thieves in suits and hope that I can survive my remaining years while retaining whatever human(e)ity I have left. I don't take vaccines or meds and have not seen a Doctor in over 20 years and surprise, surprise, I am still very much alive and kicking.

My first calling was as a musician and songwriter...I was fortunate enough to have a good run...Some songs from a friend of mine you never heard but might like...

Friend of mine once told me this lyric should be stitched on a pillow:
"I believe that life is for living and love is the axis on which we turn
We bare our souls till all is forgiven
and clothe ourselves with the lessons learned"

A favorite quote from a favorite author:
โA human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.โ
โ Robert A. Heinlein
...and one I saw on a studio wall in Nashville:
โNever attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.โ
โ Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
OK...one more...
โA dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.โ
โ Robert A. Heinlein, Friday

HEY!! I am NOT a bot & homesteading in S central Mass. I grew up in NYC, a USN Veteran & Telecommunications Science graduate trying to live "The American Dream!"... We dropped some trees, rented a sawmill & built a log cabin from scratch, from the trees we had on our land!.. Currently I'm a support tech for Remote Computer Support www.servu724.com... I also love to cook; I wrote a cookbook, Daddy's Breakfast Bible, while building our cabin, working & going to skool! I also have a spicy hobby, too! www.cookinspice.com
NEWS AND.... THE REST OF THE STORY
Linked stories are for your consideration - I never endorse anyone's opinion but my own. All my writings are well researched; particularly stories pertaining to the environment, renewable energy, military science and bicycling.
Note: As a former American soldier, I don't take sides in international conflicts and try to be objective.
Born in the 60s, a kid in the 70s, came of age in the 80s, matured in the 90s. Old school Gen X and proud of it. And we had the best music, be it vinyl, 8 Track, cassette or CD. We have run the gauntlet. God, Country and Family, in that order. MAGA America First!!!
