Missive #277 Published 13 May 2024

This book reads like dystopia science fiction but it is nonfiction. The author does provide a few lighter moments but generally speaking it is "Dark". I suggest that you read it to get a prediction for the Future™.

34. NASRUDDIN AND THE FISH Nasruddin and his friends were sitting in the coffeehouse, getting into arguments as usual. “Fish are truly remarkable animals,” Nasruddin opined. “Nobody really respects fish, but they deserve our respect. Talented, intelligent, well-behaved. In fact, there’s nothing a person can do that a fish can’t do better!” “That’s ridiculous!” protested one of Nasruddin’s friends. “Fish can’t talk better than people do. Fish can’t even talk at all. I’ve seen hundreds of fish, thousands of fish, but not a single talking fish, and that’s because fish can’t talk.”

This is an excellent murder mystery that keeps you guessing right through the end. It has a publication date that precedes the first book of Rickstad's that I read but goodreads.com has it listed as the second book in the series. I'm reading the series in that order and have one book remaining in the trilogy. He has written other books that I'll also read, all in good time. A good author!

33. THE WISDOM OF CAMELS…

This is an interesting book that opened my mind to the possible future. It could be read as science fiction although the authors did not write it with that in mind. They are serious that this is the direction the economy will take. I have doubts.

If this had been a text for American History, more people would have loved history! Bruce Lancaster brings the people and events to life, and I found myself reading it as though it were a novel. Not only was it history, it was well written history! Henry Knox, Dan Morgan, Francis Marion, von Steuben--all the men who have been just names became living, breathing people. — edited Customer Review @ Amazon

This is an excellent history of the American Revolution. What made it even better, the author was a writer and a novelist that wrote it to be read by the plebs not academic elites. He was also able to write the entire book without using a single footnote. Highly recommended. So far all the books I have read in the Mainstream of America Series are recommended.

I had my last breakfast , this stay, at the Morning Cafe in Bisbee on Saturday. That was also my last shopping trip to Bisbee; stocked up enough to last me a couple of weeks I hope. While being close to the laundromat from Safeway I got laundry done as well. Then drove into Old Bisbee where I had a short wait for The Old Bisbee Roaster to open and grind #5 of cofee for me. I have been ordering from him online for a few years but this was the first time that I was close enough to stop by and pick it up.

Got started doing the month end house cleaning chores on Sunday. Finished doing them on Monday plus I got the holding tanks dumped and water tank filled. So I'm ready to get on the road to my next camp. It is not going to be a very long drive but I'm planning on making it longer than it need be by going out of my way to make a few stops.

Missive #269 Published 29 April 2024

Eva Lotte Louise Joan Vlaardingerbroek is a Dutch right-wing activist and a legal philosopher by education. She has been particularly vocal about the issues surrounding farmers in the Dutch farmers' protests and is noted for her criticism of the Dutch government under prime minister Mark Rutte. Here is the transcript from her CPAC Hungary speech held Budapest, Hungary. The Main Stream Media gave passing mention to Prime Minister Viktor Orban's remarks at the meeting but have avoided Eva's. This speech is the reason why the Biden administration and Western elites are so desperate to control speech. They can’t allow the people to have access to free thoughts and differing ideas.
