Gold and Silver?

Image
 I keep hearing people saying, "The banks are going to collapse! The dollar is going to collapse! Buy gold and silver!" Are you kidding me? Just what in the samhill do you think you are going to do with gold or silver when the store shelves are empty? Wave a gold bar around and make food magically appear? Tap your silver bar three times on a counter and make gas appear in an empty service station's underground tanks?  This is way beyond that. I mean way-hey beyond that. There is no recovery of any financial system taking place at the hands of the People. The People; the world, is what this whole, entire, dirty, filthy, corrupt, wicked, evil, satanic thing is all against. Wake up, for goodness' sake! Evil, powerful people have been planning this for generations . Little wee you and me are not going to stop it.  Revelation 6:6  And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou...

Dairy Cows and Coal Oil Lanterns

  Few things are the same as they used to be. People have lost so much of their resiliency in this age of modern convenience and instant gratification. The ice storm we experienced this year sure brought that into clear focus with its associated power outages.  Back on the farm, sometimes winter could be a little rough. We had it good in the house with forced air oil heat. But, if we had no power we had no heat. When I became a young adult I added a wood stove to alleviate that weakness. I first put in a used Franklin style wood stove. It ran away on me one time and I lost all faith in the safety of it due to not being able to close down its draft. One thing there was never any shortage of on the Queens Line was draft for your chimney. I replaced the Franklin the very next day with a new airtight stove and that problem was solved. Come what may we would still stay warm. People all over used to be encouraged to keep Victory Gardens during the world wars to aid or relieve demand...

The 1970 Chapparal J2

  The absolutely insane 1970 Chapparal 2J Can Am racer, nicknamed 'The Vacuum Cleaner' Something altogether new and different showed up on the Can Am circuit in 1970. Fielded by team Chapparal, the boxy-bodied J2 was probably the most 'out there' car ever seen on the track. As Can Am racers went, it was fairly conventional at the front, but the rear end was where the designer's thinking was, well, entirely outside the box... It was powered by a thundering all aluminum 650 horsepower ZL1 Chevrolet 427... and a Rockwell JLO 247 cc 2 stroke snowmobile engine driving two cooling fans taken out of a Howitzer M-109 self propelled gun!  The Rockwell JLO engine; far from its home in the snow! The fans' job was to suck air out from under the car to create downforce. While other cars used drag-inducing spoilers and wings that only created downforce at high speeds anyway, the J2 had downforce even sitting still. It had equal downforce at all speeds. And no added drag at hi...

No Other Name

  "I'm a good person so I'm going to Heaven when I die".  Maybe. Although I have to tell you that your chances in that regard are pretty slim. Nobody automatically goes to Heaven unless they were absolutely perfect, every last single second of their lives. Were you absolutely perfect ? Did you never, ever sin? Never tell a lie, never steal, never lust, never be jealous over other people's possessions, never take the Lord's Name in vain, never hold or look at any figure as a god, never disobey your parents, etc...? If that's the case, then, yes, you are automatically going to Heaven when you die. In case you are wondering, you would only be the second person in history to ever do so. Jesus was the first. And by now you know you will not be the second. So how do you get there if you haven't lived an absolutely perfect, sinless life? Jesus said it plain and simple so we could not make any mistake about it: John 14:6   Jesus saith unto him, I am the way...
