Talk about the cosmos talking to you...

Yesterday I was out getting a gift for Marion for Mother's Day and her birthday (they fall in the same week). I was at a store, and the people behind the counter asked if I liked the Grateful Dead (they were clearly hippies - turns out the woman went to Woodstock when she was 16. They had Dead Head stickers all over the store backdrop).

I said not really (didn't mention that I had previously tweeted "Does anyone actually like the Grateful Dead" lol and the discussion eventually shifted to Phish. The guys asked if I had seen a video of a girl singing a song on stage with Trey (the lead singer). Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_KHGeByNjI

I knew the song sounded familiar and ended up listening to it that night while walking the dogs.

Listening to the lyrics, I thought I heard something philosophically / spiritually ambiguous (or blasphemous), so I go look up the lyrics.

"There've been times that I wonder
And times that I don't
Concepts I'll ponder
And concepts I won't ever see
God isn't one of these
Former or latter
Which did you think I meant?
It doesn't matter to me
Bug (don't need it)
It doesn't matter"

I couldn't figure out if the lyrics were meant to recognize or deny the existence of God. And I'm still not sure what Trey had in mind.

But as I am reading the lyrics on my phone, thumbs on the screen for scrolling, right as I am reading "Bug! It doesn't matter!" a demoiselle fly lands on the tip of my thumbs, blocking the lyrics. I mean literally, as I am trying to understand the meaning of the lyrics, and as I read "Bug!" in my own head, the demoiselle fly lands on my thumb blocking the lyrics. So I think I have an answer.

And then today, I get a text from a spiritual confidant (as I have humorously dubber this person) and it's a picture of an letter-to-the-editor type thing, saying that (paraphrasing and condensing) you can't live in the country - God's playground - and pontificate over the existence of God. What more evidence could you ask for that everything there is around you.

What made the timing of this text so cosmic is that I had just gotten back (and I mean literally) from a mission of corralling a duck and her 12 chicks out of our backyard, through the neighbors yards, down the street, back into the pond.

I'll clip the video and post.

It was absolutely beautiful. Though the neighborhood kids (and some adults) don't appreciate how easy it is to scare the mother and chicks into harms way - cars, backyards with dogs, etc.

So yeah, two cosmic coincidences in 24 hours.

Going to take the dogs to the park and hope for the trifecta.

Godspeed. See you all tonight.

Steve Baker on Tucker Carlson

The Jan. 6 pipe bomber apparently was wearing an Apple Watch, and engaging with it during the bomb planting itinerary.

Apparently, Brian Cole Jr. does not own an Apple Watch, and has never owned an Apple Watch.

Operating on the basis that this was likely an inside job, as per Bongino’s sources at the time, who else on the Capitol police had an Apple Watch?

This adds a new level of relevance to the fact that Capitol police phones were not subject to searches and verifications in the dragnet Jan. 6 persecution.

Link to the interview. Give it a watch :-) https://x.com/tuckercarlson/status/2072478348899762441?s=46

I. THE INTRODUCTION

Just a few tickets left https://www.1776lawcenter.com/

A. Art of the Day

They raise the flag of liberty, replacing the image of the King, but the painting speaks more than just that celebration of the Revolution. A mother holds up\ her child. Women dance. Young and old alike volunteer. but look a bit closer, and you see the true source of the revolution: as the aristocrats walk away, the commoiners lift the flag of liberty. The founding Fathers weren’t just a few folks writing documents; it was the ordinary people taking dramatic action, peopling the volunteer army, sacricing for boycotts, smuggling information and goods across enemy lines, voicing their independence in taverns and community halls, taking their freedom into their hands for themselves and their posterity, the true founders of America.

B. Wisdom of the Day

"If all else fails, I will retreat up the Valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scotch-Irish of that region, and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger." George Washington.

I. THE INTRODUCTION

*Note: Limited tickets available. 1776lawcenter.com

A. Art of the Day

The blue heron showed up outside my rental home here in upstate New York, my totem according to some native tribal traditions. The totem represents your spirit animal, your analogue in the animal world. A few common tidbits of this totem as “heron medicine” — know yourself to uncover your gifts and discover your limits; follow your intuition; embrace self-reliance and feel free to be your own, unafraid of the challenges that come to the nonconformist; be a place for unique wisdom, expressing the best of that most American spirit — independence.

A. Art of the Day
“She’ll be riding 7 white horses when she comes, when she comes. She’ll be riding around the bend when she comes, when she comes.” So may father sang some version of his own of the famed spiritual son that used to echo off the ridges and mountains and riverbeds that make Chattanooga home as returned from our morning paper route beneath the mountains and by this famed river bend.

B. Wisdom of the Day

"From the hands of the mother and daughter, Through the mists of the past revealing, The herbs and the cinnamon water, Hold all the mysteries of healing." The Sorrow Songs, preceding the Blues.
