So I was trying to decide which of two
fairly similar bands I was going to showcase today. I've had them
both in my sunday music folder for a couple weeks with 4 videos each.
After spending some time listening to both I still can't decide. So I
will leave you with this fun little one-off on the steel guitar.
Enjoy!

Sunday Music: Can't Decide
Saturday, September 30, 2023
Now What?
Friday morning I lost my job. I've kind of known it was coming for a while. Considering all my monthly evaluations that said 100% on my quality (meaning zero mistakes) in the last month I somehow had mistakes happening daily that my boss would call me on. Big Sister on steroids. Mistakes that weren't mistakes before – suddenly were. Stupid stuff really. My internet being so crappy the last month didn't help. It was almost a relief that they finally let me go. I really think they were trying to get me to quit.
So I packed up all my equipment. Two
monitors, a laptop, headphones, docking station, keyboard, mouse and
a slew of cords and cables. I kept the original boxes and everything
fit back in. I will mail them off later today.
Everyone has
been supportive and I know they are praying for me. So far I am
handling things well, but I noticed that I really wished I could talk
to my mom. She passed away 10 months ago. She would know the right
thing to say to make me feel better. Oh how I miss her.
I was
originally going to wait until Monday to post this, which is October
2nd. Since I was in a similar situation 2 years ago I thought I would
see what I posted then, take my own advice so to speak. Wow, amazing.
Here is what I wrote:
“The Lord is so merciful in His
dealings with me. I think I should be doing something. Update my
resume, look for a job, hit the ground running. The Lord is showing
me that I need to wait. Wait on Him and find out what direction He
wants me to go. There are plenty of things to take care of while I
wait.”
Fast forward to today. I already updated my resume
but will probably re-update it when I get a chance. Don't think that
I'm going to be a total slacker or anything after reading that, but I also
don't need to panic. I need to remain peaceful and wait on the Lord.
Simple.
Hope you all are doing well. I will keep you posted on
my great adventures going forward (LOL!) Take care out there.

What to Wear
The clown show continues. First the
Senate voted to slob out to accommodate Fetterman's inability to
dress himself. But the mocking intensified to such a level that they
had to quietly impose a dress code. I guess Fetterman knows how to
dress after all. This is the low our country finds itself in.
Sad.
The dollar still exists for now. My groceries this
morning were less than two hundred dollars and local gas has gone
down 20 cents. I'll take what I can get.
I had to upgrade my
internet in order to keep my job. I got the piece of equipment this
morning and will install it before work. I'll let you know in the
comments how it works out for me. God is in control.
Take care out there. See you on Sunday.

Not 100%
I'm not feeling very well this morning. Going back to bed for an hour or so before work. I leave you with the latest from our favorite dysfunctional state, Oregon.
America's First 'Shroom Clinic' Opens In Oregon
‘Non-Binary’ Oregon Student Wins $300K in Discrimination Lawsuit Against School District
Take care out there.

Over the Target
The Conservative Treehouse has a story this morning about Target having to close several stores in various big cities due to theft and organized retail crime:
Target Closing Stores in NYC, San Francisco, Oakland, Portland and Seattle Due to Rampant Crime and Lawlessness
While I'm sure that is partially true – we already know about mobs of people going into stores and cleaning them out because there is no penalty for crime these days – I think Target's demise goes a little deeper than that.
A story from MSN on the issue has the money quote, “skeptics say stores have not provided enough information to back up their claims, and at least one retailer said theft was an exaggerated issue.”
Target was already an enemy-owned retail chain but their problems really started back in 2015 when they decided to move away from “gender based” signs, especially in their children's clothes and toy sections.
They quickly followed that up in 2016 with their bathroom controversy where they welcomed transgender employees and guests to use the bathroom or fitting room that corresponds to their
But their biggest mistake was in May 2023 when they proudly displayed their transgender summer clothes including “tuck friendly” bathing suits. The outcry was loud and even though they moved their displays to the back of the store, no one was buying it – or anything else for that matter. Target lost 10 billion dollars within 10 days. As they say, Get Woke, Go Broke.
Goodbye Target. Can't say as I'll miss you. You brought this on yourselves.
Take care out there.

Calendars of Evil
This is the season of fear. All hallows eve is coming soon, and the people must be primed. Wicked holidays are on their way. Calendars of evil. We dodged a bullet on 9.23. But there is still October 4th or October 11th depending on the weather. Dates and more dates. Will the Zombie Apocalypse finally rear its ugly head? This is a test. This is only a test.
There is no need to push a button to get the ball rolling. The zombies are already here. Staring down at their black mirrors and nodding their heads enthusiastically. They take their tests at home to save time. They dutifully line up around the corner to get their pinprick of death. You can shake them but they won't wake up. They will eat zee bugs and be happy. They are dead and don't even know it.
The great thinkers and philosophers of
our time have substack accounts. Some give their insights for free.
Others want you to pay. A penny for your thoughts? With inflation
that is at least five bucks. Or they want you to buy them a coffee. I
can't buy myself a coffee. You have become one of them. Buying and
selling. There is no free lunch – or opinions these days. Nickle
and dimeing us to death.
The news is still free. Would you
like some lies and propaganda with your morning coffee? Sweet, sweet
little lies. Even the “truthtellers” are liars. You can know them
by their fruits. Rotten fruit is plentiful. Good luck finding
something pure to eat. It is all GMO. There is sand in the spices and
chemicals in the water. Taint is everywhere.
Is there yet
hope out there? Yes. But hope is boring. Doom and Gloom is exciting
and gets our blood pumping. We are addicted to drama and watch scary
movies on TV. Except that the scary parts have left the screen and
are in our living rooms now. They are at the grocery stores and
parking lots. They roam the halls of academia and capitols with pink
and purple hair. They teach confusion and conformity. They are coming
for your children. They have stated as much.
Winter is coming
my friends. And possibly zombies. Prepare accordingly.
Take
care out there.

Cleaning Up
Hope everyone had a good weekend. I
spent some time cleaning out the files on my computer. Here are some
you-tube videos I had in my stuff to post file that I think are
important but they are getting old and not sure I will get around
to posting them, so I thought I would just put them here and then I
can delete them out of the file.
Take care out there.
