 With miscellaneous if not ancillary nagging. Here goes... Mind your manners! That is all. Let us proceed to matters that count for something. Or whatever. Machine art minus stuff. Leo's bike - Walls have ears as well as eyes - So long for now. :]

  dreaming dreams that muffle the tears of dying children wherever they may be found or not for earth will always silence the sound of screaming okay and that's about enough of 'An Homage To Ego' by Wilber Shorts on to machine art and stuff... city sidewalk after it gets wet after dark and after a rain storm - a sign of four - TTFN :]

  It's the very last Friday in January. It's the very last Friday in January 2021 and there will never be another. Gosh is that about sad or what. Next up will be February and we should get several Fridays in February. I think so anyway. I like the month of February, and it's really short. As in just about 28 days and done. Well except when those 'leap years' happen. Actually, the 'leap years' happen quadrennially . You know, once every four years. I do believe that's what quadrennially defines as but, maybe I should go look. Hold on and I'll be back shortly...yup, nailed it. Once every four years. Almost like when America holds that silly-ass presidential election thingy. I suppose we Americans should be grateful for that. If a presidential election thingy came more than once every four years well, I'm thinking the suicide rate around the Nation would skyrocket for sure. In the very early days of the beginning of the America, the Nation's Fo...

  Back in the day there was a saying that gained some traction by saying "California, what ain't fruits is nuts." Not a very flattering expression so the remark mostly and/or sort of died off. However the "nuts" aspect can still hold acceptance in these our postmodern times and applies directly to the United States Congress. The House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. It seems more than a little theoretical that a significant number of congress folk, representatives and senators are bat crap insane. The dummies can't shake off the curse of trump and are taking to fighting with one another over really stupid shit. Most of the fighting is within the republican party. It appears more than obvious that republicans in Congress don't really like themselves and they're taking their dislike for one another out on the American people. Republicans in the Senate are hellbent on giving trump a pass on his (trump) treasonous approach to stirring up his ...

 Do you know what day it is? It's Hump Day! Cue the camel...this just never gets old. blossoms on a surreal Hump Day - surrealistic fractals - you know, I could suppose that fractals are surreal in and of themselves. go figure. :]

  Time will tell if Amerika has gotten over the national fixation with trump. The onus now falls squarely on the U.S. Senate as to whether or not they have the balls to convict trump for incitement to insurrection. Of course the notion 'incitement to insurrection' is fancy legalese for the fact that trump started a damn riot that resulted in a Capitol Police Officer being murdered. America's full of themselves and grandiose Senators will try and ignore the murder of a police officer. The cop's murder makes trump's impeachment all the more important. That and the mob of idiots tore America's Capitol up and trashed the place big time. We shall see how much trump bullshit lawlessness is tolerable. Okay and that's all I've got for a Tuesday so now it's on to machine art and some stuff. I'm not certain what might be stuff as opposed to what might not be stuff. Hmmm...philosophical smoke and mirrors I could suppose. Yeah, that's the ticket. see is ...

So the long ago and just about forgotten mayor of New York City and that would be one Rudy Giuliani, is getting his stupid ass sued by a voting machine contingent for "slander." Oh yeah and 'sued' is a bit of an understatement. Giuliani is being sued for $1.3 billion dollars. Damn and from where I sit, that seems like a really big pile of bucks.   Dominion Voting Systems which provides voting machines and tabulation software to a serious number of states around the Nation, does not take lies and slander lightly. No they do not. Guiliani and trump were accusing Dominion of helping with the "steal" of a win for trump in America's last most recent presidential election. Courts all across America and all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States of America have ruled in favor of the States and Dominion in every last attempt by trump to get the election results overturned. The trumpers were trying to get election results and the vote count over...

It snowed, finally. Overnight or in the wee early hours of the a.m., it actually snowed a way out here in the West. Didn't snow very much and I won't have to drag out the snowblower BUT, it did snow. About an inch. Maybe not that much. Of course Utah's 'greatest snow on earth' in the Utah mountains reaped a pile of the stuff. That's exactly where the snow should be. In the mountains and NOT on my freaking driveway. If things go right and our glorious sun actually shines on this fine Sunday, the snow will melt and that will be a good thing. The Utah skiers are wetting themselves in preparation of ditching church and heading for the canyons. You see, the skiers have to drive up those Utah canyons to get to the ski resorts. Traffic will be a mangled mess right about now. I can't for the life of me figure out what the attraction with skiing might be. I've never skied and I have no intention of ever going  skiing. Don't care for the notion and I'm not...

 I woke up this morning to the gentle sounds of rain. And yes, it's January a way out here behind the Zion Curtain. It generally and overall rarely if ever, rains in January. Go figure. I'm willing to bet this has everything to do with climate change. 'Climate change' is the new and politically correct way to say "GLOBAL WARNING!" Judas Priest, how hard is that to grasp and wrap the old mind around? It's not that hard. So anyway, it's raining. So last September when I got the snowblower all primed, gassed, checked the oil, and sprayed WD 40 on the moving thingies that need the WD 40, I thought for sure I'd have the snowblower working overtime by now. But no. You just don't need to fire up the snowblower when it's raining. Nope. I am not knocking the rain. All the little green plants and birds and stuff like the rain. But rain in January? In close proximity to the Wasatch Front with the Wasatch mountains towering over Mormonville? One last t...

Get the Covid-19 vaccine. Anyone? I've read "reports" that the Covid vaccine is available to "special people" but I'm not so certain that the vaccine is available to just ordinary and everyday Americans. A way out here behind the Zion Curtain Utah, the Mormon hierarchy got vaccinated and medical first responders and hospital employees and some PD officers but, just regular Utahns are S-O-O-L. SOOL is shit out of luck. No vaccine for regular folks. I read a thing on the CNN page that alleged that the trump administration did NOT have a plan in place to get the Covid vaccine to Americans in general. The report left me wondering what in hell the trumpers were doing? I mean besides standing around and playing circle jerk mambo. Standing around and hurling insults within earshot of media outlet journalists ensconced in the White House Press Pool. And yes, there is an actual pool where media outlet journalist types are made to wait while White House personnel gin ...

Today is the first full day of America with Joe Biden as President. I wish the President all the luck there is to be found across these amber waves of downtrodden grain. President Biden is going to need it. The President is going to have to try and repair an America that's been raped by trump. It's gonna take a while. At the Biden/Harris inauguration, if you didn't happen to catch the young lady that recited her 'song for America' well, you missed a recital that will go down in history books as a game changing event. The young lady is eloquent as well as literate. Her name... Amanda Gorman... and I have no doubt that America hasn't heard the last from Ms. Gorman. Ms. Gorman offered up five minutes of brave, courageous, wise, and insightful poetry that somehow did NOT come across as poetry. Then there was Lady Gaga's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Gaga nailed it! America actually had television that was worth watching. I missed some of the inauguratio...

  I am referring to my birthday. What else could be more important than that? Not a dang thing with the possible exception of Joe Biden's inauguration. Yeah, that's pretty important no doubt. His evility has flown the coop. I mean trump. He took his very last ride on Air Force One, on the taxpayer dime of course, and the freak is now happily entombed in Florida. You see, trump won't ever be able to leave Florida. Unless of course he gets his ignorant ass arrested. Iran has an Interpol arrest warrant issued so trump can't go anywhere in the world and not even Scotland without getting arrested and extradited to Iran. I'd really like to see that. Trump could quite possibly (inevitably?) be arrested by the F.B.I. and extradited to New York to face felony warrants. Yes that is felony warrants in the plural. The fool will also face an impeachment trial in Congress and he won't be able to ditch that either. His legal fees are going to be astronomical. Like out of ...

 I bought a new desk for my birthday which just so happens to be tomorrow. My birthday not the desk. The new desk comes with a rather stark warning...ASSEMBLY REQUIRED! I sort of figured that would be the case as how in hell would the manufacturer fit the desk already assembled inside a box. The desk would need a rather large box and then there would be the shipping incidentals. Anyway, it's off to put together a new desk. I'm planning for most of this day to assembly the desk that requires putting together. Fun city here I come. So this short installment of 'fun with the screwdriver' is brought to you by machine art and stuff. You can't buy the machine art anywhere and not even on Amazon so, you have to ask. Here we go... little princess - isn't she lovely - okay and so for now fare ye all well. it's off to assembly time. oh we'll have us some fun for sure. :|

 Dr. King was a martyr. A very brave and courageous martyr. Dr. King gave his life so that ALL Americans could have a better tomorrow. In many respects, America failed Dr. King and that's not including Dr. King's assassination. The notion of a trump presidency surely must have Dr. King spinning in his grave. Ain't not much can be done about trump short of getting the dangerous freak out of the White House. I can almost hope that the dummy decides to hang around the White House on January 20, 2021. Because as of 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time on the 20th, trump's reign of terror will be over and the F.B.I. would be able to head into the White House and remove trump physically. Throw his stupid ass out the side door for all the world to see. I have a dream... My apologies to Dr. King's family. Have a safe and sane Dr. King Day. On to the machine art and stuff. the sun shines softly - an American vista - I wonder what Dr. King would think of America today. :|

  But don't worry, the governmental/pharmaceutical collective will see to it that you get the Covid-19 vaccine at some point in time. Not necessarily a sooner point in time but "someday." That's reassuring isn't it? What a clusterfuck on an epic scale. Let's see here, news about the Covid-19 broke back in December of 2019. The damn virus started its inevitable spread and headed for the four corners of global existence around January 2020. The pandemic started it's rampage for reals about March 2020. That was when the CDC and medical scientists just about around the world informed everyone that this shit was for real and happening now so cover you rigs and duck for cover. Shelter in social distance. Mask up. Wash your hands frequently. Use hand sanitizer IF you can find any. March went into April went into May went into June went into July went into August went into blah blah blah ad infinitum. Here it is just about the wind up of January 2021 and there are...

  Back in the days after 9/11/01, there was legislation passed that labeled terrorism by category. You know, Islamist terrorists and that was pretty much it. There was tucked inside that memorable legislation an article that made mention of domestic terrorism. Mostly the domestic terrorism stuff was inserted for the people that became the Black Lives Matter movement and anyone involved with the antiwar movement which at the time was a fairly large portion of civilized society. The legislation authorized the use of the military installation loving known as Guantanamo Bay, Cuba or Camp Gitmo, to house those dang icky Islamist terrorists without any due process. There is a small number of "high value targets" still incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay and they've been in detention hell ever since. No due process for you! The point to be made here, that legislation is still on the federal law books SO, how a come the domestic terrorists that went ape-shit on the U.S. Capitol aren...

Somewhere in the world its 12:00 p.m. so, the first month of January 2021 is halfway gone. Over and almost done with. It's not 12:00 p.m. where I'm domiciled so   it's close but not quite. January 2021 seems to be more of the same crap we had to put up with in 2020. Global pandemic and global pandemic with "variants" and trump seems to still be hanging around and still not much to watch that's any good on television. Doesn't that just figure. I tried watching the new Star Trek installment on CBS and wow-oh-wow-whee if that doesn't about suck. Doesn't make much sense either. Gene Roddenberry would sue for sure. Star Trek Discovery? I think that might be close to what CBS is calling this mangled bullshit. Pretty fancy special effects and that's saying something for television but judas, come on guys/gals that are scripting up this mess, you can do better and you sure as hell should. I mean it is supposed to be Star Trek. The original Star Trek wa...

  Okay and here goes: trump will become so enraged being impeached a second time that he will con the national media into broadcasting his final day in office. With mainstream media mostly absent having become bored with trump's antics and the inauguration of President-Elect Joe Biden being the headline news of the day, trump will start sniffing glue in the halls of the White House and have to be removed physically from the place by the Secret Service. Trump will of course be hallucinating like a big dog and think that Melania has jumped ship and taken off with Rudy Guiliani. Sniffing glue can and does induce some seriously heavy duty hallucinations. Turns out that trump had been sniffing glue in the White House all along and hardly anyone knew except the White House staff that holds responsibility for running the place and always has. Mike Pence will step off a helicopter that was taking him to an airport to head back to wherever it was that Pence came from in the first ...

  Excerpt from "The Confessions of Steely Donatello" I held belief      Once Now I hold  Not belief A raging fury at Gullibility Hypocrisy A faith Unfulfilled And mostly broken Now, cultural hour is done and done so it's on to machine art and stuff. little wing - sailing - and of course, it's Hump Day!

Well, we've got us another day in paradise. Sun is almost ready to shine provided it actually rises above the mountains for long enough to see the smog brewing up from the valley. This time of year we get a lot of smog. Almost reminds me of Los Angeles way back in the day. I could suppose that it's probably good to be able to see the air you breath. However it might not be anywhere close to 'normal' when you can cut the air with a knife. You can eat it like a piece of cake. Smog cake...ummm yummy. Anyway the trump is off to Texas so he can visit the Alamo and brag to anyone within earshot how he made his last stand and gosh oh golly what a man what a man what a mighty big man. That's how he sees himself. Of course Texans will turn out to see their perceived vision of Butch the Cowhand and there will be guns to be had for miles. Texans do love their guns. I'm willing to bet that the Secret Service might not find all those guns so near their president a good thing...

  Congress plans to impeach trump...again. Seems like they did that once. Impeach once, impeach twice, and a third time would be the charm. There won't be a third time. Old donny boy is finished. That is of course a very good thing. Damn freak. Okay and so the trump-meister has a little more than 7 days left in his term so the Congress had better hurry the fuck up OR they're gonna miss their chance to make history. A second trump impeachment would certainly be historic. Disgraceful to say the least but it will be historic. It will be interesting to see how many republicans in the U.S. Senate will go along with a second impeachment. I'm thinking the Senate republicans will jump on the impeachment bandwagon with reckless abandon. Senate republicans should have jumped on the impeachment bandwagon the first time and had the dumb assholes done so we might not be in the mess America is in today. Oh well, no sense crying over spilled impeachment milk. God ahmighty...

  The trumpers that went ape-shit in the U.S. Capitol are getting their sorry asses arrested all across these United States. Wow is that about a surprise or what. The trump domestic terrorists pretty much trashed the place and as the silly freaks are getting arrested and jailed, they're whining and raising the sad laments about being misunderstood. Oh the poor babies, no one understands their plight. Yeah, like white privilege is misunderstood all across the Amerika. If the trashing of the U.S. Capitol had been committed by black Americans, well, there would have been blood running down the steps of the Capitol. Lots of blood and dead black Americans littering the Capitol grounds AND the inside of the building. The point was not missed by black Americans. After all, hypocrisy is an Amerikan value and there is little doubt about that. The lame-ass politicians that were in open support of trump and his ridiculous bullshit should be arrested and jailed for aiding a...

  So there's really not much else to be said. el Trumpo put his foot in the shit and now he can't seem to get his shoes clean. Even the rats that were ever so fond of Mein trumpf can't seem to remember who the guy was or IF the aforementioned rats had met the guy. Like...ever. Just goes to show you that rats won't even bother with other rats. Congress can't get the Pence-meister to work up that 25th Amendment gig so Congress will move to impeach the trumpster. AGAIN! I could suppose that when things come down to Congress, if they can't get a thing right the first time they'll keep trying to get a thing right the second time or the third time and on and fucking on ad infinitum.  The insurrection idiots are back at home wondering when the F.B.I. will come knocking on their doors. The F.B.I. is absolutely coming for every last one of the terrorists. You can expect a modest amount of terrorism in places like the Afghaniscam, Iraq, Saudi Moravia, and places like ...

  Trump incites a riot and people were killed. Gosh, is that about a shocker or what. The insurrection was planned for months and people are stunned and horrified that it happened at all. Surprise surprise. The trump minions are bailing off of trump's sinking ship of state like rats bailing off the Titanic. That should come as no surprise. The trump minions ARE rats and have been living comfortably on the taxpayer dime. Gosh, the corrupt fuckers are going to have to go out and find real jobs. Good luck with that. The Melania has already packed her bags, grabbed hold of the youngest trump, and she's headed for parts unknown. I'd bet that she heads back to New York. But really, who cares. Anyway, the trump train has derailed and it's going to be one whole lot of fun watching the last days of trump and his time in Office. Not the tv show.  We have made it to Friday and it's already the second Friday of the new year. Damn if time does not fly when you're having fun....

  Trump has finally managed to get himself inserted into U.S. history books. The president that ruined the American Democratic Republic. Good job you loser son-of-a-bitch. So trump's goons managed to breach the United States Capitol Building and ruin an ordinarily normal day. Well whatever passes for normal in Washington, D.C.. People were killed in America's Capitol and the place was ransacked and raped. The dummies that pulled this stunt will all be readily identifiable by law enforcement and I have no doubt the F.B.I. will get involved in what will surely turn out to be a nationwide manhunt. The stupid freaks will from this day forward be known as 'domestic terrorists'. Hopefully, trump and his court jesters will get to have some down time in Guantanamo. The internment palace is still open and operating for the icky damn terrorists and I can't think of a better place to hold them than Guantanamo. What a display of ignorance by crackers. Stupid fucke...
