Last power outage

 Last night was our third power outage for the month of December.

I just got call from SCE with an update. The recorded message said our power has been restored from maintenance outage # blah blah.

The outage last month was called PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff)

The three we had this month were called maintenance outages.

One of them was a scheduled maintenance where we were given advanced notice. They installed a power pole up the road using a helicopter. That was interesting to watch. 

Last night after the power suddenly went out we heard a large number sirens within 10 minutes.

It's concerning how the plan is to super saturate this are with high dentist housing. The car of the future need to run on electricity. We are using an energy grid that can self destruct if the wind blows. At this point it seems to need weekly maintenance shut off to work properly, and they want to add more houses and autos to become dependant on this energy source.

God help us

Armadillo being lifted in the tractor beam

Armadillo sparkled while being released from the gravitional pull. His scales reflected the light prism of the beam. The UFO was mezermized by their catch too.

Thanksgiving 2021

 What I learned yesterday Thanksgiving Day 2021. Power lines are super duper dangerous and deadly. (But more so when the wind blows because they can spontaneously combust). The gas station sells pretzel bun sausage that are yummy. The best thing I learned that if you take a picture of candles burning Jesus shows up when you view the picture.

Oppossum gets a portrait in the cherry blossoms while visiting the cherry blossoms in his mind

Know for perfecting the art of the melodramatic death scene. The lesser known fact as inventor of the fanny pack, and rumored to have been the inspiration for the coiled telephone cord.

Reenacting The Pit Scene from the Movie 300

The lion was supposed to kick her into the pit yelling "This is Sparta". After pointing out how she showed up in his kingdom, wearing a cheetah skin. Her modified faux fur stole could become a winter fashion trend.

Famous Last Words


 

Famous Last Words

This is my new cartoon debut. It's based on a game I used to play way back when. Not ready to give out all those details just yet. Anyhow there are times in life that the elements come together and create a little gem. In rockhounding there is a term called a leaverite. Basically someone finds a rock and they ask "what is this?" The response is "That's a leaverite' (meaning leave 'er right there). 
The basis of this cartoon is odd things I've heard people say that perfectly summed up how they presented themselves to the world. Also those favorite parts, from a movie, a book, or a song, a fragment that stays with you. Like a sparkle that draws your eye to a place. I don't know if I'll be inspired to make more, who knows...

Spinach quiche

 https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/spinach-quiche.html#tabbox 

I made this and am happy with the result. I also learned if you put egg on the exposed pie crust it keeps it from burning. 


Update: Oct 29, 2021
I made this recipe today using 4 egg whites. It turned out good.

Wanting the reaction, but not the conversation...?

 Yesterday a trip to the store. A man was agitated having to wait in line. He was making loud comments trying to get the other customers to join in his dissatisfaction at having to wait. No one reacted. While I was putting my cart away he went to his vehicle which was parked next to the cart returned. He said the squeaky wheel gets the grease. The conversation that followed was chaotic and contradictory. He started talking about his boss and how smart he is because he assumes everyone is lazy. I said he sounds like an asshole. He said "well here we are, God bless you" What didn't make sense is how this guy was aggressive and opinionated, but allowed himself to be subjected to a boss, that demanded full throttle employees.  What stuck with me after the encounter is how abrasive, and noncommital communicating is in California.  It has the cadence of now! now! now! hurry up do something, okay that's enough stop bothering me. After all that nothing is said, no conclusions can be drawn. It leaves one feeling like they should check for their wallet, or see what time and date it is, like you've experienced a mothership abduction. It leaves one with a horrifying feeling like being suddenly traumatized. I can say with certainty trying to slow down the exchange brings about more catastrophic details that lessen the chance of finding the truth. Especially when getting to the truth the charade must first play out its course. I watch this cycle repeatedly. People get stuck in their charade, it comforts them. Like hiding under a blanket from the monster under the bed. If you can't see it, it can't see you.

Military vehicle accident on the 215

Just up the road, South from where this truck flipped is an energy vortex. I learned about it years ago.

When will it be realized

 The answer you are seeking, with a question you don't ask,  created your delusional thinking.

 Aug 28 2021 about 9am a street sweeper turned around in front of my place. It sounded like it was running badly, like a few dead cylinders. A street sweeper on a dirt road was odd so I remembered the incident. A youngish female passenger babbled in the passenger seat. A older male driving. Last evening around 7pm a silver pickup with a matching shell turned around in front of my place. The same couple the same mannerisms in a different vehicle.

Another vehicle drove by several times windows down music playing. The driver hit the brakes in shock seeing a person standing watching him drive by.

Neighbor looking over the fence into my yard. When questioned said because a lost cat.

Social engineered news and televised imaginary reality

When I watch television. I process the presentation and nothing ever is resolved as the truth. Creating characters that could be viewed as normal everyday people. Falls flat on me because of my life experience with people. I never see the actual human nature acted out. Is it bad acting?or bad writing? The one thing that is for certain, none of it is truth. Is it possibly a reenactment?. I don't believe that. A creative writing experiment is how it comes across. By the talent show winner who's sister was friend's with the judge.

If actual people stories were being presented we'd see the unscripted dirty secrets of humans struggling their way through life. We would see the absolute desperation. How people really act, I can guarantee is never part of the social engineer math equation. The x and y variables are the manipulation. Not actual human nature, but the desired result is built into the problem. Monkey see monkey do, lead by example, a suggestion.

See the human kindness

At 2:04 begins the incident. How the guys around him react is remarkable. They help him up and give him another try. 




 

 

Check this out:

Pretend like the people waiting in line are burgers on a grill cooking. If the cook only tended to the left side of the grill the right side would have burned. Setting off the alarm.  The customer who is yelling is the alarm.
When faced with fire and an alarm, most people would first try to put out a fire. To focus solely on stopping the alarm and let the fire burn I don't think would be the typical response. 


***notice he says if I drive my car...and I was just walking by. Makes this encounter questionable***

Pattern verification

 Noticing how people operate from a framework. The mental dilemma comes out, but the person trapped within the performance believes their insecurities are undetectable. Because the framework creates their stage and is built to showcase desired reactions. The reality is verified by reactions.  Verifying reactions based on the people who are susceptible, gives a false sense of certainty. Being certain this reality is real seems to be important more important than truth. If truth becomes an obstacle that needs to be concealed. What follows is the established pattern of  delusion. It brings comfort to the deluded because it appears to confirm, like the framework that has been built, a reality.

Safety. Hazard.

Went into Hemet Monday night. The new median on Hwy 74, has created a few road hazards. People strolling across the lanes, not in a hurry. I think they feel safe because the center island. Two seperate incidents of people dressed in dark clothes casually crossing a dark highway. The other hazard; cars driving on the shoulder toward oncoming traffic with their headlights off. I'm thinking they were taking the short cut home so they don't have to go to the median turn out which is a 1/4 mile up the road from their driveway.  Turning off the headlights so they don't look like they are a wrong way driver (ahem).

Balancing the imbalance

 The address on our fence had one of the numbers hanging upside down because a nail fell out. It has been hanging upside for the past several months. This week someone bent the upside down number to wedge it into place so it stays upright. They must have drove by one too many times and it was bugging them so they had to fix the imbalance.

Dragonflies

 Had 25ish dragonflies flying about this morning. Birds flying over. I even noticed an emerald figeater beetle. I heard its slow stead hum.  Next I get a phone call from SCE (power co.) saying we are experiencing a power outage at this address. Next I got an email detailing the outage, but the power never went off.

More plant jewelry

 


Nature speaking

 Last night my son heard an owl hooting. It was loud and consistent. He went outside to look for the owl. When he got outside he notice dark smoke on the ridge line. The smoke...I look on the Riv Co fire incidents website to see the location. There wasn't a listing for this area. I called the local fire dept. To see if anyone reported it yet. No one had called in. My call alerted them there was a fire. I thought it was interesting because it was the owl making a racket near my son's window. He went out because of the owl. Nature looking out and communicating. It took on a spiritual aspect when I found out no one else had called in to report the fire.

More cabachon eyeballs

 Looking for color combos that look interesting together 



Reptile eyeball cabachon (planter jewelry)

What I did with one of the cabachon eyeball's.
I suppose I could call it planter jewelry. 
The frog is basking in the glow of the protective eyeball.
The plants seem to like it.




 

Armadillo Oompah-pah

 I drew a picture of an Armadillo who became an accordion, to play lively music.



Liars want to get caught to keep lying

 When a person lies efficiently and people believe the lies. The liar feels the emptiness and needs to create a scenario to get caught. The liar getting caught isn't what they are seeking. The liar wants to fill the emptiness. Using the lie creates a false sense of human interaction, the emptiness remains. Why is that?  The liar wants to be able to continue lying.

What denial creates

She started speaking. Relaying information. It was like an update. Just the highlights of a recent event. It was a one sided conversation. It didn't have any of the hi, how are you's. It wasn't a conversation. It was never a conversation. It is like how people talk to a person in a coma. Spending time but not relating to a person. That is how her family dealt with her. Not because there was a physical or mental health condition. There had always been a disconnect. The lingering effects of deep denial. The many failed attempts at trying to break through the invisible wall. Each failed attempt seemed to reinforce the denial. Making it seem believable. That was the goal, believability and not having to admit to feeling loneliness, fear, abandonment. The denial kept the emotions from  forming into sensations. 

Thoughts produced by sleeping

 I was asked if I've ever used a personal ad to meet someone.  I said no. The convo included several people. A few were laughing about an unheard joke. I was trying to collect my belongs to leave. One of the people involved needed a ride home. Out of nowhere a person requires I leave immediately with them and my next realization is I'm walking though a poorly lit mall. Without being able to see the natural world outside I couldn't orient to the time of day, or the season.  I headed toward what seemed like brightness but it didn't reveal an exit. I walked back toward a dark corridor. Found the door to the outside. Like a typical dream moving around and being here or there doesn't always follow a chronological order. Somehow I ended up where I started with a different group of people talking about familiar topics that seemed to make sense, but I didn't know any of the people. I got word about the person I was supposed to give a ride to, was waiting at a restuarant, that had recently moved to a new location. It was daytime but there was no traffic. The restuarant was on what seemed to be an old farm on a dirt room. I found a place to park but couldn't find the entrance. I walked up a staircase thinking if I had an overview I could get a better perspective. It wasn't helpful. When I tried to go down the stairs I was blocked by two humongous cows. I climbed over the rail and jumped to the path I figured would lead to the entrance. When I turned the corned I was at the back of the building. I decided to leave. While driving on the dirt road I noticed a rock cluster. It looked like a drawing, that was outlined with thick lines around the pile of rocks but it didn't have a framed border of where that image ended and the natural world began. An adjustment to the eyes and the thought process to realize it was strange and impossible. 

The dream seemed to be about me not knowing people and places. The familiar topics and places. The people seem like people I know, but I really don't know them for various reasons. Me trying to comply with strange demands that have no purpose. Places that don't have usable or accesible features. Tasks that don't begin or end just left with a feeling of unending uncertainty, and unsolved requirements.
