Thanks for the recommends, Daisy. I, too, am behind on substacks... I have your last big post saved. I will be circling around to it. Hope life being busy means that there’s never a dull moment. 🤗

Thanks, Daisy, for another worthwhile contribution. I was away (sort of) for a while, but not nearly long enough. I promised myself to come back thinking and doing differently. A big part of that entails doing only that which accomplishes something, I supposed being an unread writer doesn't qualify.

I'm back, as of not quite two days ago, from Patzcuaro, Michoacan and have much to report and no one to whom to report it, that is, no one who understands. By the way, you can (at this point) rent a serviceable apartment there for about 7500 pesos - 400 dollars - a month.

The trip was definitely to get away and this was as you might imagine only partly possible. Masked zombies in the airport, masked zombie passengers on the airplane(s), masked zombie stewardesses and stewards, masked waiters in the restaurants, masked locals (and tourists) walking in the zocalo. Somehow the masked children and teenagers walking to the indoctrination centers was particularly chilling even as I possess none of that peculiar and particular generalized fondness for the so called young.

Especially absurd was hearing the standard warnings prior to takeoff with additional verbiage to the effect that one should remove his or her "face covering" before putting on the oxygen mask.

Anyway, enough about me and thanks again for your good work.

My downhome whizz-dom:

Jerry, "no-buddy" but yerself can say "don't be so hard upon yerself!" but mebbe it's time? only you kin know... All've us human beans have disappointed others AND our own "selfs" puhlenty BUT/AND we also are capable of doin' some "good" (stuff'at we an' some others would indeed find' helpful / informative /worth a look-see!)--be it with writin' or "ahrtist-tick" endeavors, research, or just makin' a garden etc. It's not a "test" / pass/fail (some folks see it like that...not I!). It just IS!

This rocky boat ride makes us human (messin' up included!) an' few on this Earth are so "good" they won't make some-buddy's poopie list now an' then or even often! This isn't me bein' Mary Sunshine here--just realistic. We all make wrong calls (judgement-wise or even on the phone!). Make the best'a what ya can... I find intro-spect-shun an' all that self-image stuff over-rated.

If ya write a good piece (you've dunnit already!) or made a good comment on a "Stack" (yerz, mine, the lampost's!) then consider it time well spent, move on--matter'a factly!, an' don't soak yer feet in past errors, find the Epsom Salts instead! (it does a human good) THAT IS IT (at least accordin' to this one crackpot down-home phil-ossi-pher). And optionally, if ya wanna make some old past wrong right (certainly, not all kin be "righted"....) then do it without a lotta hootin' an' hollerin'. If not, so be it... don't be afraid NOT to judge (yerself, others)... it's not a require-mint! (navel-gazin' is a thing, but I think there's better ways we kin spend our time)

I appreciate yer support on my stack--betcha others do too! In fact, as I stated (on Backstabbers 2) it's one IMPORTANT thing folks do which in itself counts a lot (readin' offerin' insights...etc)

So that's all I gotta say on it, truly. An' thank ya, genuinely, for the kind comment 'bout them in my fambly that gave me the "bizness" about all things "covoid" (I don't see 'em as traitors as much as just deluded folks who judge cuz the teevee said that's what ya do...) + my ma (who is somewhat on the mend... I'll post an update one'a these days on that stuff...)

Interestin' story about the mouse book...Disney is full of mice--eg. the globalist pro-UN tales of The Rescuers ( The Rest-Skewers!) an' RATS too! I still like the really old Disney movies but today, the "corpora-shun" stands as a sorry microcosm fer all've Amerika (indeed, we gotta Mickey Mouse gubbamint an' the opposition side--it's the Donald!) Quack!

Gotta skedaddle--thanks fer the thanks! Candor is fine--good luck with the new plans ya mentioned--an' as I said, we all got clay feet so let's mold sumthin' with 'em!

"Moan" sounds like a hoot! (Mebbe post it?) Sad the man was humorless--I can comp-art-mentalize the "beats" (boy were they ever!) with new understandin' an' chalk it up to youthful fasci-nation--we are all flawed an' bein' CURIOUS is part've it all! We learn, we try ta be flexible, we see some former heroes an' heroines (an' those on heroin!) bein' knocked off their danged pedestals, gotta shift our views but not beat ourselfs up 'bout it.

I also will say--sometimes ya gotta separate the "woiks" from the "ahrtist"--had ta do this with both Neil Young an' the Stones--all pro-jabberin' vengeful Jabba the Huts! (an' yet the music stands....) I also love the films of "prevert / snuff maker" Roman Polanski. Wagner an' Degas hated Jews mightily an' widely but made great music an' "ahrt"--so the mind doth juggle!

And....as fer some'a these "ahrtists" takin' themselfs too seriously--that's a pity... If ya cain't take humor in stride or gracefully ya've lost part've yer humanity I think.... Swulled heads ain't good--it's like mental "en-sniffle-itis!" (an' I betcha his noggin' wuz purdy swelled...)

Aw shucks, nice've ya ta say 'bout bein' a groovy Daisy (been' know ta sing the 59th St.Bridge Song in the shower!).. But y' know I never thunk about it in general now that I got a fambly n' kiddos. It did cross my mind a few times briefly--I knew a fambly that skedaddled ta Costa Rica--then LEFT after a couple years as what started as bein' supercalifragilistic... turned sour'r than an old dill pickle when the plandemic came. I lived in "Your Up" for quite a few years as a stew-dent (!), traveled about an' liked it muchly ('course it was velly different back in the 20th C! student rail passes were cheap, many moo-seums free!). So, if the walls start goin' down like tower 7 I'd consider leavin' el norte, yup. (Though gotta add that this blasted plandemic made'a mess've our fambly income an' savin's... much to consider!) All that said, I'll add that if all heck breaks loose (eg. Biden provokes an incident at "Newcomb High") an' we HAD TO go, I'd be leavin' faster than a jack-rabbit in the "cross-hares!"
