Regular Rain

Lo and behold the rain has fallen abundantly lately, like for the last 60 or so days. The rain promoted an untimely growing season at the CB. Yes. The growing season for DY3 pretty much consisted of six weeks in the spring and 8-9 weeks in late summer and fall. Course the CB has already had four frosts so lots of plants, like for example the miserable Acalypha ostryifolia, got nipped. Why has Acalypha ostryifolia become a conspicuous plant at the CB? Nobody knows.


What’s it good for? Nobody knows. In any event, it got nipped.

But the winter weeds are going nuts. Suddenly, Sonchus asper is apparently fixing to take over. Ray and Crumby are having to take a hoe to that dern Sonchus. Also, Galium aparine is making a huge comeback. Once it gets bigger, Ray or Crumby shall need to take a rake to it. That’s right. The easiest way to get shut of bedstraw is, let it get big, then take a rake to it.

For Goddess Sakes, the little Veronicas are blooming. Here ‘tis not even Winter Solstice and the Veronicas are blooming. Mercy! Lupinus texensis is fixing to bloom too, just in time for a hard freeze.

What is Crumby alluding to? This is what. Nature is out of whack. All the herbs, green for the first nonce since the spring, are fixing to get frozen. Crazy! Crazy, I tell you.

Well. At least the imperialist occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan are winding down. Huh-huh. Well. Maybe not. No. Alas. The Democratic Party is also an imperialistic party. Matter of fact, when it comes to imperialism, the Democrats take a back seat to no one.

Huh-huh. These days, there is less pretense than before, maybe. Everyone knows Americano Land can’t afford these extended camp outs for the troops. But because nobody knows what to do with the troops besides camp outs, off they go.

So. If the All Mighty Republican Party had its way, you know the small government party, we would privatize the military. That’s correct. The military would all be contractors paid for with taxes instead of the socialist military we have now which is also paid for with taxes. Well. Not exactly. Less pretense means we actually don’t even pretend that taxes can ever totally pay for the socialistic military camp outs.

But, if the whole shebang was like privatized, which capitalists would stand to make big profits in Afghanistan. Like what resource could be best exploited by a private capitalist with an army in Afghanistan? Huh-huh.

Then once a capitalist with an army had total control of that resource, that capitalist would no longer need taxes. No. That capitalist could then operate as a free market enterpriser, totally independent of my taxes. But would he? Would that capitalist voluntarily give up on socialism just because he could afford to?

Course not. That would be too dumb. No capitalist would be that dumb. No. He would take the tax money in addition to the dope money. Course he would.

Barbarism is inevitable.
