Joe’s Comment – Is it a yin/yang relationship? A chaos/order conflict?
Who would want to be where they wanted to be?
Is that exercising “free will” or is that “destiny”?
And is it ying/yang or yin/yang?
To be the rock or the wind…..
It is the same only not.
What Year Is This Anyway?
Us Baby Boomers have had a wonderful life – and it ain’t over yet.
The older we get, the more we believe the film of our life is looped.
Dame Shirley Bassey sings it with the Propeller Heads – History Repeating.
Joe and I have an adverse reaction to “modern times”.
Joe suspects it is because we have seen many ideas re-introduced with a new twist or skewed perspective – same shit different time and place.
Here’s a 42 year old excerpt from The Life of Brian”, a Monty Python movie.
Joe says if it wasn’t so funny he’d take up drinking:
As Judith says, it’s nobody’s fault, not even the Romans…..
What?
I think you’re finished.
The American Redoubt
Joe and I are Redoubtists.
No two ways about it.
Since early days, we’ve admired folks who live on semi sufficient or self sufficient plots of land far away from the morphing and warping influence of a “Big City”.
We believe any large accumulation of people has an unacceptable under-side behavior that cannot possibly be balanced by the top-side benefits.
That doesn’t make us “racist”.
That doesn’t make us “white supremacists”.
That doesn’t make us “fundamentalists”.
What it does make us is adventurous, self reliant, and wanting very much to be left alone by government forces, big and small.
The following video is published by The Times and The Sunday Times.
They have a suspicious and jaded view of the American Redoubt movement.
For the life of we, Joe and I don’t see what is wrong if like minded people decide to do a “birds of a feather” dance and form their own majority community.
The examples are numerous and diverse.
Some folks just aren’t designed to spend their precious time in a city:
COVID Tidbits
Sanity4Sweden
Joe and I have been keeping up with “Stefan” of Sanity4Sweden’s list of names.
Ub2b has finally understood what he is doing and have shut him down permanently.
You can find him over on BitChute and Rumble.
According to our tally, he had 51 names on his list when Ub2b shut him down.
Bravo and congratulations Stefan!
We are aware of most of the names and their story.
Over time we will find them all, post their names, and link to a pertinent presentation or statement or revelation.
Here is Stefan on the Rumble platform:
Glenn Beck – The Blaze
Mr. Beck has produced a very detailed analysis of what the COVID fiasco is about.
He titled this opus “Crimes or Cover-Up?”, and it is well worth the time expenditure.
Joe and I watched and learned:

Tire Valve Stem
The Schrader valve has been around for the entire time Joe and I have been alive. The Schrader company, established in 1844, invented the valve in 1890.
The Schrader tire valve is literally universally used for pneumatic tires everywhere in the world.
It must be a good solution because we haven’t seen a better way.
There are complications though – when they leak it is often a problem to replace the valve stem depending on the size and mass of the wheel / tire combination.
Where have we been?
First time seeing this and it is a hoot!
Gotta get some:
Rolls Royce Crecy
The aero engine that eclipsed all piston engines.
This two stroke sleeve valved engine was on track to produce double the horse power output per cubic inch of the legendary Merlin.
Had not the advent of the jet engine interfered, the Crecy would have been the most powerful piston engine of its day.
Necessity is truly the Mother of Invention:
