    Curious about the Autism. Is it the typical situation. Your child was fine, then a vaccine, then within a day or so, it was either a completely different child, or at least you saw the change coming????
    Losing eye contact. Losing the smile/joy expressions in the face.

    Very curious. In most "civil" environments, we are NOT ALLOWED to ask these questions.
    Which is wrong. I am sorry this happened to your son. (As an example, I had a cousin who was dying from SIDS when his mom found him and saved his life. He was basically brain dead from loss of oxygen and had to be raised in an institution. She cannot discuss it, which I can understand). (Wyeth vaccine deaths were pushed under the rug, I later discovered)

    I read it four times, but not recently. I probably should go back again, especially in light of all the crap going on these days.

    And I made it through about ten minutes on audio, Abaco, and bailed. I could not stand the voice of the narrator.

    The "Bugs Bunny" generation - I kinda like that appellation! Yeah - had to scrabble for everything, large family and had to help put food on the table early (11yo delivering papers). But it sure helped with reality. Tried to pass that along to my Son and it seems as if it took. My library also has Churchill - not so much on Hemingway. May have to check him out at some point.

    After re-reading it a few times and watching the movies, I still discover new (old) things. Amazing prophecy.

    It's a long slog.
    Read it at least 6 times, always learn something new.
    It also depresses me.
    1950's folks (The Greatest Generation) had more backbone.
    They spoke up, for the most part.
    Most believed in the Republic.
    Most had strong morals.
    Most held their faith close to their breast.
    They lived through some of the most trying times in 100 years and came through stronger for it.

    My generation (The Bugs Bunny Generation) for the most part, grew up in a bubble.
    It's only because I grew up incredibly poor that I had a clue as to what true reality was.

    The old man had a dog-eared copy of Atlas Shrugged in the attic library. Along with copies of Churchill and Hemingway.

    Hoover's FBI attics, adopted by every power broker, is the main problem:
    Find or create dirt on the schmuck you want to control, tell them what you have on them, if they don't vote or act "the right way" you get ruined.
    Politicians, Judges, Military Brass, it's all the same to the Cabal running this world.
    The result is all the same: Control.

    Politics is the art of lying and politicians are practioners of the art.

    Don't forget part 2. I wonder if the Soviet state could have advanced that far without the free market states to steal tech from.

    In FL. I have emergency Solar. Enough to charge my power bricks to keep things alive (Fridge, Freezer, tools, devices... A FAN LOL)...

    But I have NEVER been able to make the math work. Our Electric Bill is roughly $2,400/yr.

    Almost 30% is used at night (A/C set to 70 at night). The best offer for getting solar was
    into the $30-$36K range. That's pre-purchasing 15 years of total electricity. More like 20+ years
    When adjusted. And in FL, none of the warranty companies survives 25+ years.
    So, I would have to prepay for 20 years of electricity to basically break even by the time I need
    to start replacing stuff. (Now, if you can do it yourself, great).

    And as the Govt "Assistance" for this is going away or gone. It's even harder.
    Roof Leaks and then future Roof Repairs/Replacements. (Elon is on to something combining them). But I just can't justify it.

    Now, I have my 4 panel system so we don't lose the freezer.
    I think we need 1-2 more breakthroughs... But not sure if we will still be standing.

    Great to 'see' you here again, Nancy! 👍👍👍
    I've missed reading your posts.
    (Perhaps you could go back to upper and lower case in your next one.;^)

    Fantastic collection, dear Dobrien, passing some along to folks who appreciate truth in humor.

    Nancy, welcome back! We've missed you and I am so sorry about your fall. Not the trip you were hoping for, but you are still with us and that's wonderful :)

    I trust the unseen and expressed actions and intentions of President Trump. I am patient and can wait out the temporary gas price hikes. What helps is that I drive a Mitsu 3 banger and my commute is 15 minutes each way. Note- this is a good time to think about solar for real. Note I am not a dooshbag Democrat; I truly believe solar used properly would be a boon to America and would displace some of the oil we use.
