    Stands for carbon monoxide. A colorless, ordered deadly gas fume. Comes from burning a fossil  fuel. Last week at least 2 tourists died in their hotel room in the Caribbean due to this gas.

    When you go traveling bring with you your own smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector. Better safe than dead.

    Something  to think about. We don't  always have to learn from our mistakes, we can learn from others if we have a mind to it. You see someone trip on a crack in a concrete sidewalk, I bet if you find yourself in that area at a later date you will remember that crack and gio out of your way to avoid it. We do get our warnings throughout our days. We have to be mindfull of them.

6/27/2022 Here's a Tip

 

    Had a garage look over the car. He said rear brakes were soft. 300 dollars and if need drums an extra 200. I took it to a brake place that offered free inspection, turns out brakes are OK and will last from 1 to 2 yrs more depending how you drive the car. I got an oil change from him for a total of 35 dollars. Money well spent. And when I do get brakes I'm coming back here. Tip get 2 or 3 opinions before plunking down money. Also try to get a feel of the situation. It's using your intuition or beginning stages of listening to spirit. All I know it work's for me.  Thank-you Spirit.

6/18/2022 Brain Drain

    When we drain our brains of common sense, bad things tend to happen to us. Case in point Magic Kingdom a woman got into s fight over where to stand while watching the evenings fireworks show. She hit her head on the ground and now suffers bleeding on the brain. Think about that for a moment.  When debating a future action, take 5 and go through the ramifications of each scenario that you contemplate on and trying to see the future ramifications on your person.  When you act in haste you lay yourself to waste.  To get along in life you have to develop common sense. Otherwise you will end up on the floor asking yourself, how did I get here.  If hard knocks doesn't  do it for you, nothing will.  Be  nice, be kind and be understanding you will have a safer journey.

6/17/2022 Breeds Hill happened on this day

 

    247 yrs ago near Charlestown MA the real beginning of the American Revolution took place. It was here that the dieing took place. The colonial generals wanted to confront the British regulars ( foot soldiers) on Bunker Hill. The milita foot soldiers said no, makes no sense. The lower hill closer to the water was were the militia men wanted to be.  So they dug all night long atop Breeds Hill, creating a big trench. The soil was thrown out of hole down the side of hill facing the water. Early in the morning  on the 17th, the British saw what they did and started to shell the redoubt  ( earthern fort  ) from their war ships. The fight was on.

    Last year I wrote about this day in more detail. These men laid it on the line. Many had familys and yet they chose to fight not on Bunker Hill but here on Breeds Hill. We owe our thanks to these daring men. The actions on this day enabled this country to be a savior to the world in the early 1940s.

     Charles Lindbergh the American hero back then espoused the virtues of an Adolf Hitler who was up and coming. The Germans jumped on the band wagon with their eyes wide shut. to their detriment millions of them died through the early 1940s.

    Moral of the story look before you leap. You go for the quick fix or stay the line.

6/12/2022 Just Plain Stupid

 

    Today I made a list with three things to get at the store. One of the items is gum.  I needed that for a hair clip that fell down the sink drain. The clip was about 2 inches down.  Went to Wallgreens to return an item, no problem but I walked out  with no gum. I wasn't even thinking along those lines. The second store was Wallmart, forget the gum again. The third store is Home Depot. Park the car take 2 steps and there is a 20 pack  of juicy fruit gum, empty container flattened on the macadam.  OH I say totally forgot. The stupid part is,  I had list in my pocket but was too lazy to pull it out and look at it. Spirit was a step ahead of me and showed me the mini billboard. Thanks spirit. Lucky for me Home Depot had one kind of gum.

    I get home and chew 2 pieces of gum. I find a pencil with point on it and mold the gum around the pointed end letting a little fat bulb at the tip. The first try was vertical and a no go. The second attempt I was able to approach from the side and the gum caught it, slowly I pulled it up and out. Thanks to spirit,  I didn't have to drive out again.

    

6/11/2022. The Will of The Cat

 

    The Ring :   An outdoor porch about 15 ft x 8ft. Has a 4ft high railing with balusters.

    The combatants :  1 wiry about 35 pound coyote.  And one scared out of his mind 6 pound cat.

    Place someone's house during the evening.

    The obstacle :  1 lounge chair in the flat position.

    The scene :   Mr cat sitting on his porch minding his own business. Mr coyote with a very quick appearance into the ring, strikes first. The cat surprised makes a fast counter response, claws out. Mr coyote did not like that one bit. Cat dives under the lounge chair, where battle continues. Mr cat tries to scale baluster, Mr coyote pulls him back into the ring for more fisticuffs. Mr cat makes for under the lounge chair again tight quarters favoring the cat. Mr coyote pulls back from under the chair. Mr cat makes it to top of the railing, his back end facing the ring. Mr coyote grabs ahold of cat's butt and pulls him back into the ring. Blows are exchanged. Mr coyote makes a small retreat, cat back up on railing and then tries to climb the post up toward the roof. The post may have something on it like a metal or plastic covering that makes it harder for the cat to hold on. But he succeeded. Culminating the 1 round fight. 

    And the winner is Mr coyote. Award : Not much, some scratches and a return to the woods with no dinner for him.

    The cat's will trumped that of the coyote's.  If There is a WILL there is a Way.   Ratchet up that will.

    Which brings me to the Ukraine War. The US told Ukraine  the Russkies are coming for you.  Zelensky didn't  believe it, why because it didn't make sense.  Everyone was surprised that the Russian invasion stalled. That is everyone but the Ukrainians . Who refused to play dead. That is one super strong will there. The Russians out numbered them in every aspect, the men and military equipment. When the Europeans and US saw the success of the Ukrainians,  it is then that the military aid really started to flow in. These Ukrainians were nothing like the Afghans, who rolled over in 3 days. Afghan  equal zero will,  Ukraine  100 per cent will.  Just before Feb 24 2022, Biden offers a flight out for Zelensky,  he says I don't  need a ride I'll take munitions instead.

    What about you,  is there a big scary situation in your life. Do you have the will to confront it.  What is your game plan? To make a Change, it has to start in your head first. Choose a different course. Then take numbered steps in making your reset.  Always ask spirit to aid you in your endeavor. With your will and spirits help, you should have your desire.  Don't quit ever, you will have that better life. Are you going to shake in your boots, or are you going to do something about it?

6/09/2022 That Old Dirty Thing

 

    Those were the words of Lauren Krytzer's sister on spotting an old blanket that was used last by a pregnant cat and her kittens. Lauren's grandmother promised him her book collection but his mother and sister took the best ones. The sister grabbed one of the two blankets, the better looking lands end blanket. The dirty one went to Lauren, who put it in his closet in 2011.

    The California man became was a carpenter. All was well until a 2007 car crash left him in a hospital. In the course of his one year stay in the hospital he lost his leg and was put on dialysis.  Then disability made him jump through hoops. Before the disability,  after paying rent he was left with 200 dollars for the month, living in California.

    2011 Lauren was watching Antique Road Show on TV. An old Indian blanket was estimated to be worth 300 to 500 thousand dollars. His blanket looks like the one on tv. He tells his family and they tell him you would be lucky to get 10 dollars. He went on the show and Don Ellis   told him that it was authentic and that it was worth more than 500,000 dollars. His sister made a play for the dirty blanket. She eventually with drew her complaint.

    2013 the blanket is auctioned off and Don Ellis makes the winning 1.5 million bid. Other buyers were offering Lauren  tons of money for the blanket before it hits auction block. Don gives Lauren 9,000 dollars to tied him over til the auction. After the sale,Don got Lauren financial advisors to help Lauren hold on to his money. Now Lauren says California  is taxing him so much he will have to move to Idaho. 

    Spirit moved in Lauren's favor as it saw fit. With surprising  results for all involved. Now that spirit gave him an opportunity,  it is up to Lauren to protect his future, hopefully with spirits help.
