Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Love Like the Galaxy – Please Remember Me – Tim McGraw
“Love Like the Galaxy” tells the story of a 15 year old girl, Cheng Shaoshang, who feels unloved and finds a first, innocent love with a gentle playmate, Lou Yao, who has just escaped an engagement to an unpleasant girl. Yao immediately pursues Shaoshang, but the death in battle of the ex-fiance’s grandfather causes the emperor to order the boy to marry her, leaving Shaoshang embarrassed before the other girls. Shaoshang can still escape her family with a new engagement to the emperor’s foster son, Ling Buyi, who had fallen in love with her at first sight.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
It’s that time of year. The distribution centers of the big grocery store chains are stocking up for the Holiday orders. At the company I drive for that means more Nestles loads. During most of the year we haul Nestles loads from one Nestles facility to another but this time of year we often haul to the grocery DCs. Return trips are often broker loads and those can often be food or other items found in a grocery store. I have hauled bottled water, berries, cabbage, frozen seafood of all types, ice cream, milk, frozen cookie dough, frozen donut dough, New empty bourbon bottles, frozen pasta, coffee creamer, frozen White Castle Hamburger patties, nuts, laundry detergent, fabric softener, toothpaste, and mouthwash.
At the company I drove for before this one I hauled everything you find in a CVS pharmacy except those items like soft drinks and some adult beverages that are delivered by distributorships. Still plenty of other booze to haul, plus all the pharmaceuticals, makeup, toys, tobacco products, and even plastic lawn furniture.
Before that at Schneider I hauled plenty of loads of all kinds of stuff. From Barbie dolls, to Hot Wheels. Several times I hauled high value loads of cigarettes. Also hauled super high value loads that were escorted the first 100 miles or so from the manufacturer. Those were electronics like Blackberries, and cell phones. High value loads like that are hauled by teams so the time the truck is parked and most vulnerable to pilferage, was kept to a minimum.
My favorite year’s ago was TP and paper towels to Mom and Pop grocery store’s. Got to meet lots of very nice people that way.

Some friends used to work as unloaders when gravity roller conveyors ruled and pallets were not used. Someone inside the truck would put a box on the rollers and it would be zipping down them conveyor at a good pace when it got to the catchers. They liked load of light bulbs and hated loads of car batteries.
I helped unload 100 pounds bags of sugar and powdered chocolate at my family dairy. A driver would go and get them in dump bed grain truck. He would raise the bed a bit, throw some loose sugar on the metal floor and lay the bags down while giving them a little shove. By the time they got to back end of the truck, they were zipping. Catching 100 pound bags of sugar was a challenge, but I was ready when I got my job at the feed mill and had to throw bags of feed into barn lofts.
Lots of produce shoved in and out on rollers, bananas , lettuce ext. 100 lb bags of taters, carrots. I know now what caused my herniated disc’s 😬
When I delivered to CVS stores that is what I did. Had the roller sections stowed in a box below the trailer floor. Usually there would be two or three stores worth of product on the trailer. There was a plywood partition between each of the different stores shipments.
All the small stuff was loaded in plastic totes sealed with zip ties as ere the totes containing pharmaceuticals. Other stuff like cases of beer and wine and paper towels were loaded loose. At each store there were stacks of the empty totes and that is what I used to set up the roller sections with.
The trailer had two side pass doors along with a standard roll up door at the back. Since among the freight being delivered there were pharmaceuticals the doors had electronic seals. Only the store manager to which I was delivering had the code to open the seals.
The totes were stacked up in the trailer. I used a hook like is used to pull the handle on the fifth wheel to hook the bottom tote of a stack and drag that stack to the door being used.
After setting up the rollers for the proper door to use for the layout of that stores receiving door I rolled all the totes and other stuff down the rollers to the store employees.
One time an obvious dike that was a store manager gave me crap, said I was moving too slow. It was in the 90s outside and in the trailer was well over 100 degrees and I was pacing myself and besides it is only considerate to wait for them to get each tote off the rollers before sending the next one down. After that crap I moved with alacrity, sending stuff down faster than they could handle it. I didn’t care, that was their problem that is was piling up in a jumble after falling off the end of the last roller section.
I have no mercy on mentally ill haters.
Good morning, rah.
Couldn’t live without you.
Good morning Patience! ❤️
Gooooood morning, Pa ❣
Good Saturday morning, G. Another Saturday about 30 seconds after the last one it seems. Hope your weekend is a good one, my friend.😘
Good morning all. Sure you can Patience and probably will sooner or later. None of us lasts forever.
You know what I mean🤭
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~The dream goes on forever
Good morning, Patience and Ma🤗🤗 I’m in the second shift…now arriving.
Thank you
and
Good morning, Betsy❣️
Glad for your arrival; it’s not the same without you, your lovely and wonderful mind ( heartfelt you ).
IT’s outright cold! Yikes!

Good morning, Mr jay…no better way to start a Saturday than country and western music the way it used to be. Good times🤗
Maidin Mhaith Betsy, I’m always looking for something that isn’t playing everyday on the various radio shows 🇺🇸😁🇺🇸
Word of God 40…I shall remember that with every spray!!!!! Amen!

Dang, Garrison…’Rikki don’t Lose That Number’ is such a sophisticated melody. Who actually wrote It? Looking for it and cannot find the origins. One of the eventual Doobie Brothers played on the original?
How are you? I spoke to my friend and tax preparer today. She lost her sister this March, completely unexpected, and is still trying to hang on as Taller Half and I am. We are all here for you, too!
Keep us in the music. God’s natural healing!
Best wishes!
I’m “o” “k” . . . I’m coming out of a period of clinical depression, returning to getting done the ton of estate that I have to deal with pertaining with my wife’s e\recent passing. So, in the short term at least, I’m ok. . . . 🙂
I hear you hon!!!! Every day is a bit different.
‘Rikki’ is one of my favorite songs!! Leave it to you to select this for the morning!!!! So many thanks!
I am still in and out of that mode along with you…from my Dad’s downward spiral ending in late June. It was such a mess. His passing has hit me pretty hard.
And not to mention anyone who has lost family or property in Ian…SD, I believe, is probably going through much worse than let on.
We need to shoulder each other.
Yet, I had a delightful interview this last week. First business meeting in two and a half years. Recall, I was in Lock-Down NY and then family medical problems.
I brought cake pops and was presented with tea! Best time I had in ages…talked ‘shop’! Was super nice to think that someone might need my services. I will also tell you that two of us, one principle of an architecture firm and one age old consultant, talked about sandboxes and crayons, and how these two things set us both up in architecture and design! There ya go!
I have also been doing estate things with my family after my Dad’s passing. Just try to do some normal things when you can.
And keep bringing the music! Makes my day!
Maybe we could explore Earth, Wind And Fire…or Albinoni!!!!
🎼 ❤️
Hello there, WSB.
If I may…
My brother who could never get enough of EW&F.
Happy Saturday❣️
LOVE this!!!!! Saw them in 1981! Still a wonderful memory! TY, Patience!!!
Thanks for your kind words. Friendships always count in hard times. I feel blessed to have good friends. 🙂
Good morning Garrison! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mornin’ Gramps! 🙂
My thoughts and prayers are with you, not just now, but daily. Do only as much as you want to do.. it will wait for you. I won’t go into a Kamala Harris “passage of time” discussion.. (okay, that was a bad attempt to inject a modicum of humor)… just know that there are MANY of us here supporting you in any way we can.
Thank you for your kind words, benzy. I agree that the less said about Kmala Harris the better. She is one of the singularly insincere people in our political life. Everything about the woman says “unconnected”. 🙂
I’m so sorry for your loss, Garrison. I’ve been away and did not read of your wife’s passing.
My prayers for your family.
Good morning, Garrison. I was reading yesterday elsewhere of someone going through their own miserable estate process, as you are.
I had to do the same when my mother passed, and she had nothing. It was overwhelming, made so difficult by laws and lawyers. Ready made customers for a “profession”, like doctors, at the worst time of anyone’s life. It’s a horrid thing to go through.
Remembering GrandpaM and and his mother having to travel halfway around the world to sort his step dad’s affairs in person.
One day at a time, my friend.😘
Good morning, Bet. One step at a time is right. Got big packet from TIAA yesterday. We both had accounts with them so it looks like they’re going to cooperate. Fingers crossed . . . 🙂

Future Doobie Brother Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter plays the guitar solo
Lately he’s a Dept of Defense consultant known for thinking outside the box and looking at things sideways, he wrote a paper on how one of the Navy’s radar tracking capabilities could be re-worked for incoming anti-missile defense
Allmusic’s the tits, man … just put any artist or song title in the search bar
I usually search by artist and then by ‘discography’ once I hit their page.
There’s a ‘credits’ tab on each album page so you can see who played on it, which is something I’m usually interested in
But you can search and browse a buncha different ways
There are print reviews and user reviews and artist biographies

TY, Nim!!!! Never knew about Baxter!
From Music to Missile Defense: The Very Interesting Life of Jeff Baxter
Baxter wrote a five-page paper suggesting that the military’s ship-based Aegis anti-aircraft system could be converted into a missile-defense solution
He took the paper to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, who in turn passed it on to Rep. Curt Weldon.
Both were amazed, and Baxter was quickly drafted into service as a consultant; along with the U.S. Department of Defense he’s also done work for the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and private defense innovators such as Northrop Grumman.
…his biggest draw is creativity. He puts it simply: “We thought turntables were for playing records until rappers began to use them as instruments, and we thought airplanes were for carrying passengers until terrorists realized they could be used as missiles.”
He’s able to examine current tech and consider new ways it might be used to threaten U.S. security, a skill he has in common with the new breed of terrorists, and that won him a regular spot as the leader of “enemy” forces in Pentagon war games.
Wow!!! I have always thought sidewalks could be used as solid chips to transmit all grid and energy. No reason to bury lines just make a smart sidewalk.
Wake me when I am needed. LOL!
A striking Steely Dan line that is SO applicable today…. “The things that pass for knowledge I just don’t understand”
Yep. 🙂
Hell there, Garrison💖.
Change is continuous…. never-ending.
Just when I get used to…, accepting of…, good at living (with)
what I didn’t want.
Get, be and stay well.
Hi’ya, Patience . . . Here’s a slogan for dealing with change: nomatter where you go, there you are.
😎
I mentioned yesterday, Steve Bannon redefining Demoralization for me to fit what Yuri Bezmenov + the Soviet Regime Change Doctrine meant — made me connect it to the Bible’s description of a person/society moving so far away from God, He withdraws the Restraining Hand of the Holy Spirit — and connect these 2 tidbits over the decades attributed to Insiders of the Elites who said – the West had already passed a point of no return + now they were unstoppable.
Readers might want to think about these things + add — the attack on the Van Gogh masterpiece yesterday…
+ the Red Guards of Mao during the Cultural Revolution.
Which connects both to the seemingly Materialistic Marxism + a little further back to the historical Illuminati.
From: Proofs of the Real Existence + Dangerous Tendency of Illuminism
[Q]
The adept [who has risen to the 3rd degree] still has an Instructor who now calls him to attend to the miseries under which mankind are groaning, and the inefficacy of all the means used for their relief. This is attributed to the restraints to which they are subjected by Princes [state] + the Priesthood [religion].
{EQ]
I know believe – Marxism was never truly Materialistic. It did not have a Spiritual or openly Occult preaching to it — but — it accomplished the same things in Demoralizing target societies that Satanism attempted. Illuminism was just Luciferianism which is positivistic Satanism.
You are right, Iggyb! They are all of their father, the devil.
Best Christmas present ever!!!!

October 15 Oswald Chambers
The Key to the Missionary’s Message
He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. —1 John 2:2
The key to the missionary’s message is the propitiation of Christ Jesus— His sacrifice for us that completely satisfied the wrath of God. Look at any other aspect of Christ’s work, whether it is healing, saving, or sanctifying, and you will see that there is nothing limitless about those. But— “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”— that is limitless (John 1:29). The missionary’s message is the limitless importance of Jesus Christ as the propitiation for our sins, and a missionary is someone who is immersed in the truth of that revelation.
The real key to the missionary’s message is the “remissionary” aspect of Christ’s life, not His kindness, His goodness, or even His revealing of the fatherhood of God to us. “…repentance and remission of sins should be preached…to all nations…” (Luke 24:47). The greatest message of limitless importance is that “He Himself is the propitiation for our sins….” The missionary’s message is not nationalistic, favoring nations or individuals; it is “for the whole world.” When the Holy Spirit comes into me, He does not consider my partialities or preferences; He simply brings me into oneness with the Lord Jesus.
A missionary is someone who is bound by marriage to the stated mission and purpose of his Lord and Master. He is not to proclaim his own point of view, but is only to proclaim “the Lamb of God.” It is easier to belong to a faction that simply tells what Jesus Christ has done for me, and easier to become a devotee of divine healing, or of a special type of sanctification, or of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. But Paul did not say, “Woe is me if I do not preach what Christ has done for me,” but, “…woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16). And this is the gospel— “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
There is nothing, naturally speaking, that makes us lose heart quicker than decay—the decay of bodily beauty, of natural life, of friendship, of associations, all these things make a man lose heart; but Paul says when we are trusting in Jesus Christ these things do not find us discouraged, light comes through them.

I really don’t know why our small town was so popular for rock ‘n rollers back then..
as mentioned before.. at the clubs after concerts.. on occasion some of them would show up in the local club crowd.. and is how I had met quite a few of them..
I figured it was a place where they could just be themselves for a night.. a rest stop on tour.. without being mobbed by crowds.. at least that’s how I treated them when I had met them..
like standing next to Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden.. small talk and both of us just holding a beer and watching the local band play.. and many other stories.. a fck’n who’s who of hall of fame rockers..
if I had to pick a most favorite and influential rock guitarist.. it would be this guy.. his performances back then.. man.. words can hardly describe.. even unto this day.. (and I have seen lots of guitarists in the past forty years or so..)..
I had seen him in concert a couple of times.. and man this guy just blew away the crowd.. he wasn’t just playing guitar.. he was like a conduit.. it was just flowing through him.. and coming out of his guitar.. it was like a spiritual experience..
and the crowds were absolutely stoked to the max.. memorable epic performances that shook the whole place..
I remember between songs he told the crowd why he even stopped in this town while on tour.. he said he only came here because he had some friends here..
and his gift to this small town.. he put a song recorded there on his live album.. if you go looking for it though.. you probably won’t find it.. you will have to ask him..
but I will give you a clue.. I’m not saying it was this one.. but is the one with the loudest fck’n crowd.. screaming yelling clapping and foot stomping.. in unison.. non-stop.. I know.. I was there..
There’s a bar out in the middle of nowhere near where I live where Sammy Hagar used to go. My husband (several years before he was my husband) actually met him and had a few drinks with him – said he was a great guy.

MORNING
God is my defence. Psa. 59:9
The LORD is my rock, and My fortress, and my deliverer; the God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour. II Sam. 22:2, 3
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. Psa. 28:7
When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. Isa. 59:19
We may boldly say, The LORD is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Heb. 13:6
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psa. 27:1
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. Psa. 125:2
Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. Psa. 63:7
For thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me. Psa. 31:3
EVENING
Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Matt. 6:12
Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Matt. 18:21, 22
O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. Matt. 18:32-35
Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. Eph. 4:32
You…. hath he quickened, . I . having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Col. 2:13, 14
Even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Col. 3:13

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

No blood in the urine this morning. Still feel it but after a good nights sleep spent laying on one side or the other there is less discomfort. Think I’ll be heading to the grocery. Called Josh yesterday and told him I’d be ready to run. He told me everything for Sunday covered and most of Monday covered also.

It has been more than a year now that the government stimulus checks have ended (ended around September 2021). Unfortunately everywhere I go, there are still many labor shortages. Late last year I thought the shortages were caused by the stimulus checks. Now I am sure it’s not the case. A potential cause of the current labor shortage could be a rapid increase in retirements. However I do not believe retirements are the sole cause of the continued labor shortage. Could the United States be dealing with an extremely high excess death situation that could be causing the shortage, or could the cause be something else? Just wondering since it is very strange that I have no recollection of an extreme labor shortage in my lifetime nor do I remember reading anything in the history books of such a shortage, except maybe for the Black Death and WWII labor shortages.
My niece and nephew, ages 22 and 18, have not worked a day, never had a job. They are coddled by their dad.

My fireplace insert guy has not returned my call yet. So I uninstalled the blower unit, checked it out for any loose wires or connections. None found. So I reinstalled the blower, cleaned the ash out of the firebox, and have started a fire in it to see if it will work. Waiting for it to get hot enough for the blower to kick on. That takes about an hour.

WaPo Weather Guy Matthew Cappucci Perpetuates the Climate Hoax with Misleading Report on New Rain ‘Study’ – Watts Up With That?
HooRahhh! Insert blower is working and man is it putting out the heat. I have turned off the furnace and am now just running the blower to try and get an idea how efficiently my home HVAC system will distribute that heat around the house. But now the sun is out and it is nearing the warmest part of the day so I suspect I will have to wait until things cool off tonight to get a good idea how well that works.
I sent out that link to the Theme song of the movie The Last of The Mohicans yesterday via e-mail to some friends and got this back:
Meet Oscar Winning actor Wes Studi, A Rare Brand Of Vietnam Veteran!
You may not know the name Wes Studi, but you would probably recognize his face, and you should. Studi is a Cherokee, a Vietnam veteran and an accomplished actor. He has been acting for several decades and is well-known for his roles in movies like, “Dances With Wolves,” and “The Last of the Mohicans,” and many other roles on film and TV.
He recently received an Oscar, “Lifetime Achievement Award” for his acting career. As a 17-year-old Studi got permission from his parents to join the National Guard. That was in the early 60s. He signed up for the usual 6-year hitch at that time.
While serving he began to hear a lot of stories from returning Vietnam veterans and decided he wanted to know if he was up to that experience. With only a year to go on his original 6-year enlistment in the National Guard, Studi volunteered to go active duty and to go to Vietnam.
Studi served in Vietnam in 1967-1968. He was assigned to the 3rd Bn, 39th Infantry of the 9th Infantry Division and was stationed down in the Mekong Delta area. He arrived just in time for what was called the mini Tet.
His unit was at a place called the French Fort on one of the Mekong Delta rivers, very near the coast. During the time he was there his unit would be deployed on many missions throughout that delta area.
Like so many returning Vietnam veterans, Studi’s coming home experience was made difficult, not so much by the negative attitudes that greeted us when we came home, that was bad enough, but by something more intimate, more personal, more interior.
While in Vietnam we had grown used to living every moment of our lives aware of the imminent threat of death that hung around us like a pall in every moment, in every place. Because it was so present at all times, we grew accustomed to living with that tension. It shaped our consciousness, our “awakeness.” It made us constantly attentive to our surroundings, constantly keyed up to act at a moment’s notice.
It was that fundamental survival mechanism that became our unconscious habit, a part of what we brought home with us.
Studi remembers that coming home, it took a long time to let go of that constant awareness of potential imminent threat. We were always tense, always keyed up, never letting our guard down. It was this that often made those around us think that we were a little crazy.
In those early years after coming home from Vietnam, before Studi decided to try out an acting career, he did a lot for his tribal community. He taught the Cherokee language and the Cherokee syllabary and was involved with the Cherokee language newspaper, among other things. He is active in Native American rights efforts as well.
Vietnam Veterans are all proud of Wes Studi for his recent recognition as an Oscar winner for his lifetime of superb acting and starring roles in such great and memorable movies. We honor him for his service to the country in Vietnam as well.
Thank you, Wes Studi for giving us such honest portrayals of Native American life over your decades long career.

Those watching OANN this morning, 15 Oct., 1100 CST saw this. It might be the best synopsis of what transpired around the 2020 election including the local Mesa County, CO. City Council election the latter of which was new info for me. Tina Peters, Sherronna Bishop, Jeff O’Donnell, Clint Curtis, and others. And I’ve been paying attention prior to and since the fbi jackboot actions against Tina Peters and Sherronna Bishop. Includes units Jena Griswold (CO. sec state) and CO. gov. Jared Polis. OANN website has no link to this documentary, but found it at the link above. Not to be missed.
Does anybody know who Peter Zeihan really is? CIA?
