Big Predictions- Small Mind

Been sitting on these thoughts for a while and recalled them with N Korea in the news as it's been lately.



• Five hundred years from now people will still be reading Stephen King.


• Mayan society at some point will be completely recreated on the site of what we refer to now as ruins- to include human sacrifice.


• In my lifetime Idaho and some other surrounding states will form a de-facto separate nation.


• Twenty years from now and beyond to learn what day to day life was like and how and why people thought what they did and what they were thinking- people will look at old blogs.


• Same thing with contemporary music 100-200 years from now the songs of Britney et. al. will still be being rerecorded and in fact will be listened to as original recordings.


• We will be in a war with North Korea within less than 3 years. If not, then never.


• President Obama will be viewed as one of the worst presidents.


• There will be a war in the US but, not a race war like a lot of people think- it will be Muslims against everybody else.


• Former prisoners of Gitmo will set IEDS in the US.


• Israel will tire of the ceaseless attacks and threats of same and give the state sponsors of the groups that perpetrate them an ultimatum: Stop the attacks or we will bomb your oilfields with dirty nukes rendering them unusable for the next ten thousand years.


• Or Mecca- same treatment.


• There will always be large, corporate farms but, instead of taking over and having a complete monopoly the balance will shift and more food will be provided by small, local producers.


• The US postal service will essentially go out of business.


• Within three years marijuana will be legalized.


• Soon, nearly every type of cancer will be curable and if not the simplicity of how it will be done, the fact of how wrong researchers were in many of the assumptions made during research will be shocking.


• There will never be a flying car for the masses.
• Although, within the next 20 years there will be rotary winged transports in large cities that use GPS and AI to ferry passengers from the suburbs to city helipads without a true pilot- only an attendant of some type.


• Fifty years from now nearly regardless of where it's at water will be as valuable as oil is today.

B/W And Color A Reflection In Juxtaposition- A Study In Contrasts

Mondays Missives

• A recent patient threw every bad visual during his death that has ever been documented by man- in about 2 minutes.



• Not trying to pat myself on the back too hard but, I simply cannot imagine what it would have been like for the family if I had not prepared them. They did super though.



• I'm reading A Leap In The Dark by John Ferling about the American Revolution. I had thought of the American Colonials that fought as insurgents but, this was the first time I'd seen it in print- kind of a strange connotation.



• A coyote came up to the house a few weeks ago that was big as a wolf and walked with a limp.



• I met a guy once with a friend and while we were talking and watching him work on his motorcycle a coyote just walked up to us and sat down and smiled so casually then watched us interact like it was the most interesting thing he'd ever seen. The guys wife had three cats and they climbed to the top of the carport with urine running out of their bodies while they hissed and spit like nothing I've ever heard.



• If my children are out after dark to make sure the porch light is on for them I'll check it multiple times before I even think of lying down.



• When it's time for the bus to be here I like to have the door open and on occasion a fire going in the fireplace.


• When I was a child my dad had an old Ford Falcon station wagon. When we were taking a weekend trip or vacation that car would be left at the house and mom would pack it down and when he got home the jon boat would be tied to the top, everyone would pile in and we'd be off- what a sight we must have been.

Friday's Dispatch

• Letourneau, the Seattle teacher convicted of raping one of her students met the boy when he was in second grade and they began having sex when he was 12.
• That first detail had escaped me and makes the crime seem that much worse.
• I knew one of my friends bought a mountain bike last year- I remember him saying something about it but, didn't recall any details. I saw it when I worked on a lawnmower for his wife recently. It's a beautiful Trek, probably a 1000 dollar bike (maybe more) before he started throwing accessories at it.
• Couldn't prove it by me he's ever been on it.
• For breakfast yesterday I had 4 cups of coffee and a Dr Pepper. For lunch a steak, mashed potatoes and sauteed mushrooms with buttered sourdough rolls and sweet tea. For supper sliced brisket, garlic mashed potatoes and red beans with sweet tea.
• I think my left ventricle just exploded.
• And my pancreas just fell out.
• Zac came to me with a broken toy yesterday and said," Hir, bwoke- fix- dad- pwease." Pretty good for a guy that's not quite two years old.
• Huh, "hir", "bwoke" and "pwease" get flagged by my spellcheck- that's crazy.
• Another Zacism that just crossed my mind: he doesn't like having his hair messed with sometimes and while absentmindedly running my fingers through his hair the other day he said," Uh, uh- weave my harr awone, pwease!"

A Pig And Its Boy

My son showing his pig Pinky Tuscadero at his schools show. He placed 3rd out of I think 15 animals in his first show. He is staying tonight in a tent at the Sheriffs Posse Grounds where tomorrows show will be held. Can't wait- so proud. I took him some supplies earlier today. He was sitting at a table under a shade shelter with some girl. He shooed me off real quick after taking the supplies- wonder what that was all about?

Illness Quote

"Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place." - Appears in 133 books from 1947 - 2008 according to Google Book Search.
