Riding for the Brand

 

Hanging Paper

These past five years I’ve been an agent for a financial service company contacting people who are in arrears on their mortgage.

Recently a Denver area agent has been in the hospital and the company has asked other agents to cover.

My ‘turf’ is north of I-76. For the past week I’ve been covering areas to the south and west. It has kept me very busy. While I’m well compensated, I don’t need the money. Given that the assignments are for the same companies that I normally service, it is in my long term interest to keep them happy.

The Metro Denver area traffic is horrid and synchronized traffic lights an impossible dream.

California

As a retired used car salesman I find this both amusing and offensive.

Nice Try Land Grab 

What isn’t reported is these folks a part of “Fundamental Latter Day Saints”, i.e polygamists. Mix in Native Americans with a dash of Sovereign Citizens for a toxic brew.

Those pesky rural residents worried about their livestock, dogs, and cats are just unreasonable!

Slippery Slope 

Like many good ideas at one point in time, the potential for abuse in the future exists. 1^st Amendment implications? As Civil Rights Attorney John H. Bryan concludes his YouTube posts, “My freedoms don’t end where your fears begin. Freedom is scary, deal with it”.

Does an old fool ever mellow?

Recently, visited a grocery store that stocks Anasazi Beans, which was my only reason for being there. Outside on the public sidewalk, in front of the store, was a man soliciting signatures for a ballot petition. He was being berated by a 'uniformed' security employee. The petition gatherer was calling 911.

After making my purchases and returning to my vehicle, I noticed a city policeman and the security employee talking to the petition gatherer. Naturally I stopped and signed the petition. The security employee started to say something and I turned and said, “This is a public sidewalk open to the public. Fuck off!” The city policeman said not a word.

Do you think I should have asked what the petition was for?

To add to the rant, I don’t like seeing policemen geared up like some Special Warfare operator. I get even more irritated when I see some ‘security employee’ emulating a police officer.

As always, YMMV

Google and Constitutional Rights

A thorny question where the Denver PD served a warrant on Google and Google complied. A grisly crime was solved with the information.

The Colorado Supreme Court, by a split vote, made a troubling decision.

Right or wrong? I can’t decide.

Fools Paradise?

Much applause for “renewable energy”. It doesn’t ‘pencil’ long term economically. When the inevitable collapse comes, what then Colorado?

Not everyone is on board.

 This property is now a “white elephant” that shouldn’t sit vacant. Instead, newly built warehouse facilities have been, and more are being built, less than a mile away on the east side of I-76. Many of them are still vacant. The nearby I-76 access is a nightmare.

How Colorado went Blue

Dark money politics. People can spend their money as they please. Everything has consequences and the level of loathing for rich outsiders and trust fund snots by many residents is one of those consequences.

Seasonal Employment?

Wyoming is woefully short of snow plow operators. Part of the reason is pay starting around $20 per hour. Overtime out the wazoo. You need a Class A CDL (and a strong constitution).

WYDOT crews have more than 400 conventional snow plows across the state and 18 snow-blowing rotary plows they can throw into the battle. At that point, the department's statewide snow-re- moval plan goes into effect.

Sisty, due to her work as an insurance adjuster, learned from a source only four drivers are available for I-80 over Elk Mountain. If this coming winter is like last year, that section will be closed for days on end.

We are on TV!

The Sheriff’s Department will appear on reality TV. Guess I will miss it  as I haven’t owned a TV for several years.

Cancer and Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide

This is something I’ve posted several times before and will continue to write. I’ve been putting a few drops of H2O2 in my morning coffee and evening adult beverage since reading the One Minute Cure for All Diseases by Madison Cavanaugh. I changed my diet to keep my body in an alkaline state instead of acidic state. This is now going on 12 years.

His position is cancer doesn’t thrive in an oxygenated and alkaline state body. Is he right? I don’t know. What I do know is around 60% of my extended family, paternal and maternal, have fought cancer and many have lost the fight. At age 79 I remain cancer free.

I sunburn easily and have occasional basil cell spots. The usual treatment is drops of liquid nitrogen. I get the same results with drops of H2O2. Hurts like hell for twenty minutes.

Food grade (20-30%) is getting harder to find. Seems you can make explosives using it. Amazon is your friend.

My annual cost for using H2O2 is about $50.

Israel

I’ve refrained from commenting on the current events mainly because I don’t know what I don’t know. There are plenty of pundits to fill the gaps. What I do know is animals that bind children then burn them alive need to be eradicated. No mercy, no compassion. 

 “Innocent” Palestine civilians? Enablers and supporters of the evilest among them. Fuck’em. Find idle cruise ships, load the Gaza civilians aboard, then run the ships aground in, say, Turkey.

As always, YMMV

 

 

Paranoid?

 

A running joke with blogger LL  (https://www.virtualmirage.org/) is getting a bunk near the stove at the re-education camp. He wants a top bunk.

The picture is of a Japanese-American internment camp located at Granada, CO. I’ve visited the site and nothing is left now. Not far away is the Army’s Pinion Canyon Maneuver Area. Sorry, need to give you the co-ordinates as I can’t seem to screen shot Google Earth.

My late son was a 4^th Infantry Division Medic and trained there several times. He told me, tucked away, are rows of empty barracks behind stout fences. You will note from Google Earth the site has excellent rail service (BNSF Main Line) and a paved State Highway. Interstate 25 is nearby as is US 287 which runs from the Gulf in Texas into Montana.

So, WSF, what is causing your paranoia?  My stat counter, and my internet service. On a good month I get around 300-600 hits. My recent political posts have 3,000+ hits. My internet service has slowed to a crawl. Downloads are terribly slow, like minutes for “conservative” sites.

I use AVG and Malwarebytes to keep my computer safe. For years I’ve had no problems and now I do. Their scans show nothing. I also use Boost which usually speeds things up. Not now. Is someone spying on me? If so, who?

I doubt anyone in this building is able to hack my WiFi. I’ve used the same one at my old address and haven’t had a problem.

So, if I am being monitored, will you please see my sister gets Banner? He has nothing to do with my political views.

Careful What You Wish For

Prescription drug costs are certainly in the public interest. Can the costs be lowered? If so, how?

Today Dick Morris advocated prohibiting drug companies from advertising.

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=wm#inbox/16392cee6b193cc1

Sorry Dick, you have your head up your ass. The 1^st Amendment gives them the right to advertise. Slippery slope there, what other industry can be prohibited in the name of the flavor of the moment?

What can we, as consumers, do? For one, ask your care provider for a generic drug if that is a effective.

I’m not an advocate for tobacco products. That said, the “War” on Big Tobacco always struck me as an attack on our liberty.
