Joke.
”I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said, “Stop! don’t do it!” “Why shouldn’t I?” he said. I said, “Well, there’s so much to live for!” He said, “Like what?” I said, “Well, are you religious or atheist?” He said, “Religious.” I said, “Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?” He said, “Christian.” I said, “Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?” He said, “Baptist!” I said, “Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist church of god or Baptist church of the lord?” He said, “Baptist church of god!” I said, “Me too! Are you original Baptist church of god, or are you reformed Baptist church of god?” He said, “Reformed Baptist church of god!” I said, “Me too! Are you reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?” He said, “Reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!” I said, “Die, heretic scum”, and pushed him off.” – Emo Phillips.

Subject: Red Ant Swarm after your court date
Ms. Casey,
Just a note, carpenter ants are a symptom, not a disease. They do not cause problems in the wood, they show you that a problems could easily exist. You need to have a human type carpenter check your wall studs for dryrot.
Hopefully, what you have is an inspection team.
My cabina (a one room cabin) is rustico or open air. Ants here are very aggressive, as are many other frightening insects, such as; the giant prehistoric looking grasshopper with sharp barbs on its legs, scorpions and oh, giant frogs/toads? that will chase you. I should also mention the small yellow snake that causes death in under 5 seconds after you’re bitten. To keep everything in check is vigilance. Those ants swarmed….all new babies with wings. They probably moved in my nightstand after the rainy season began a few weeks ago and hatched when I was in court. I’ve dealt with worse in the states…rattlesnakes!
Subject: Your website
I remember in the dark days of the preparations for the Iraq War, you and a few other bloggers were the only source of news. Scary times but you came through.
Jim
Thanks for that Jim and thank you for your donation.
Years ago I wrote on this website: “I believe the Internet will make
our earth smaller and peaceful through truth.”
It’s just taking longer than I thought.
