I”ve noticed something–what do you think?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

One of the recurrent themes in Lee’s Bell Mountain books was the appearance (or should I say reappearance) of unique animals.  Perhaps they had been extinct, but whatever the reason, they  had never been seen by people before.

Ever since I started with this blog, some seven months ago, I have been doing a lot of internet research, looking for things of interest.  During that time I’ve come across many unusual animal stories–appearances of unusual animals–or the finding of species which had been thought extinct, or just plain new ones.

I am not talking about the AI slop that is all over the place, but real stories, with real animals.

Please don’t worry–I am not whipping out my tinfoil hat or anything like that, but these stories seem to be more common than they ever were.

The ancients called them prodigies.

I’m hoping for previews of the restoration.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Political Vandalism REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From January 7, 2014

One of the reasons it’s so hard to combat “Progressivism” is that Democrats always change the subject. They’re like firebugs loose in an enormous mansion, torching the place wherever they go. No sooner do you put out a fire in the billiard room, then they’ve started one in the lounge. You’re always one fire behind.

And so, with Obamacare revealed as a disaster, and Global Warming as sheer humbug, libs ‘n’ progs have moved on to yet another vast subject–“Income Inequality.” They’re all yakking about it–which gets them out of having to defend Obamacare and Global Warming. The Occupant of the White House, noozies, academics, celebrities, and so on down the line: suddenly they’re all talking Income Inequality..

The new mayor of New York, Bill DeBlasio–aka Warren Wilhelm Jr., but he doesn’t use his real name–has vowed to abolish Income Inequality in his city, mostly by taxing “the rich” until they aren’t rich anymore.

Let’s look logically at this lunatic boast. There are only three ways DeBlasio can achieve Income Equality in New York City.

1) He can make everybody rich. If you think this is in any way possible, please clue in the rest of us.

2) He can “tax the rich” and give their money to “the poor” until everybody winds up somewhere in the middle. This will work if “the rich” consent to stay there and be robbed.

3) He can make everybody poor. Destroy “the rich” or run them out of town, it doesn’t matter. As we have seen in Zimbabwe, North Korea, the Soviet Union, and countless other places, any gang of stooges, with enough power, can impoverish a whole nation. It shouldn’t be hard at all to impoverish New York City. Just do whatever they did in Detroit, Camden, Gary, etc. It’s been done before, and surely Mayor Wilhelm can do it again.

Had enough yet, America?

What We Wouldn’t’ve Thought Of, but God Did REPRINT

From  March 15, 2015

If our smartest scientists and our cleverest politicians had had the job of creating the world–a thought engendering almost unimaginable horror–there is a lot they never would have thought of including in it.

Consider some of the extras which God included in His creation, none of which would ever have occurred to any human being.

1. Beauty. Look at a spider web in the grass in the morning, festooned with dew-drops that glisten like pearls, and consider your response to it. Probably you are struck by its beauty. That response is a gift from God. I can’t imagine it having any of that “evolutionary survival value” they’re always going on about in National Geographic specials. Cows while grazing probably see a lot of dewy spider webs. Do you think they appreciate the beauty? Read any nice odes by cows lately?

2. Food and Drink that tastes good and really satisfies. For me it’s fried scallops. How did the Lord ever think of making scallops taste like this? And don’t say it’s the chef, not God: replace the scallops with chunks of pineapple, and there’s nothing the cook can do to make them taste the same. But of course pineapple can be delightful, too.

If humans had been in charge of creation, realizing that you need food to stay alive, they would have created food designed for that purpose. Imagine how blah that would be! Nor would scientists have bothered with the incalculable diversity of taste and color and texture, etc. It would all be this grey gel that keeps us able to fog a mirror–not that I’m trying to give the President’s Wife any more ideas to make school cafeteria food even more unappetizing.

3. Cats and Dogs that love us unconditionally. It doesn’t have Evolutionary Survival Value, so who needs the love of pets? No pug dog ever helped a cave man kill a mammoth, and there’d be no point in even suggesting it to a cat. But he is poor indeed who has never been loved by an animal! Only God–of whom it is written, “God is love”–would have ever thought of that.

God’s world is full of extras that we take for granted. But if we do try to listen to what these say, we begin to understand that they aren’t really extras, after all.

Look. Taste. Love. And listen: there is something here worth hearing.

Why Do Things Take Longer When You Get Older?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Very sorry about the lack of posts today, but I was really busy.

Well, not exactly–here’s what I mean.

When I was a lot younger, if I had something to do on a given day, say a doctor appointment (like today), it would take me about 20 minutes to get ready.  No big deal.

Today I spent most of the morning getting ready for my doctor appointment (which was at 1:40).  I always arrive early, because they want you to.  But that’s only 15 minutes early.  Somehow the whole morning was spent getting ready for the cotton pickin’ appointment.

I even had lunch early.

Is it that when you get older, you are moving slower (but just don’t realize it)?  Or does time itself kind of warp?

Do you really need that much more preparation for the simplest things?

Perhaps this is a question for the philosophers.

Somehow I don’t think they ever discussed it.

I’ll do better tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Patty
