The earthquake was big but pretty far away. We did not even feel
it. The address of my new digs is 1250 Lucille Drive Wasilla.

Further out in the boonies and no 3 Bears. I hope the digs are
good.

No Three Bears but closer to Safeway and Fred Meyer. Also closer
to restaurant s. I am also going to get a new outdoor4 wheel
electric scooter to ride around on. You can see all the
amenities of the place if you Google Vista Rose Apartments
Wasilla. It should be pretty nice once I got it all set up. I
got the two bedroom unit so if any other diners come visit they
will have their own room.

RE: I haven't been in the neighborhood for a while (didn't feel
particularly welcome) - but have been wondering how you're
doing. Glad to hear you are getting into your own place. I hope
that goes well for you and allows you to be in a better frame of
mind. You are a valuable voice and it needs to continue to be
heard. If I were closer I'd help you move.
Intense heat and drought here. We are struggling to keep all
the plantings and critters alive. Stressful on livestock and
wildlife. Fruit and berries are drying on the tree. Fires close
by and the smoke is the worst I've seen (and breathed) in many
years. We have water tanks and pumps set up - and hope for the
best.
I hope you continue to improve and that you do really well in
the new place.

It is not my intention to make anyone here feel unwanted unless
they are a troll. Trolls do exist.

None of our current members are trolls as far as I know. So if
I offended you Digwe Must I am sorry.
As to JMG he used to live in Seattle 20 years ago and JMG was
quite a showman here so my opinion is more acerbic than it would
be otherwise. He would do anything to get on the local news to
push his druidism then. But of the collapse gurus, who I
generally despise, I actually like JMG the most. JMG is more
human than lizard for sure. More than you can say about some
collapse gurus. I won't name names. But JMG is not pure bred.
It is true being thousands of miles away on a keyboard affects
communication. Regarding what I write here I am authentic and I
would likely say whatever I type in person.
Has that ever put me on the floor in real life?
Yes it has.

Well, I am sorta moved in to the new digs, except I have no
furniture except a VERY uncomfortable and cheap hospital bed I
bought when this whole mess began and I unsuccesfully tried tto
go home directly from the hospital. My PCA left at 2 and I am
alone now until tomorrow at 10AM. After moving the stuff from
the gulag here, the guys who helped did not have time to go to
my storage container to get anything else I need. After they
left I went with my PCA to Safeway to buy food and drink to last
the night, except now I find I cannot open any of the drink
bottles because I don't have the tools I usually do that with.
I am using my phone as a mobile hotspot for internet, and this
has now got cheap enough it's probably all I will need. $65/mo
for unlimited data.
I am glad to be out of the Gulag and away from all the Walking
Dead Zombies there, but readjusting to being alone in my current
condition is already quite hard. I have no interests and
nothing to occupy my time or my mind. I used to have Doom and
my writing and making videos; none of that interests me anymore.
There is nothing for me to go do that is at all appealing.
Fingerpainting and Bingo at the local Senior Center holds no
appeal whatsoever. Sadly, my current health is such that I
could last another decade like this. I do not know how I can do
this and maintain any semblance of sanity.
Maybe once I get some comfortable furniture and can open a drink
bottle things will improve.

Was not able to sleep at all on the crappy bed but finally got
some shuteye with an old standby, my Walmart Special Office
Chair, which if you recollect I once spent 3 weeks sleeping in
when my heels hurt too much to lie down. I definitely need to
get a good recliner though ASAP. I may be able to make the bed
serrviceable with a better mattress or maybe a memory foam
topper. I also may try an air mattress on top of it. However I
have to get one of my inflators from my storage continer.
I feel slightly more positive now that I have had some rest, but
getting this place in livable condition will take some time. It
is great to be away from the Zombies in the Gulag though. My
PCA is supposed to show at 10AM, there is much to get done
today. If I can't get stuff out of my storage I will end up
having to buy shit again at Wally World. A microwave is of
critical importance, along with TP, Towels, kitchen gadgets etc.
These are just short term problems though, the real long term
problem is figuring out just what to DO with my Meat Package &
Gray Matter to keep bizzy and stave off the overwhelming sense
of boredom and purposelessness. At the Gulag I at least HAD a
purpose and something to look forward to...getting OUT of the
prison. Now that I am out I have nothing to look forward to
other than god only knows how many years of soul crushing
boredom, hour after hour, day after day, week in and week out.
Liviing in an alcohol & drug induced stupor isn't even an
option, it costs too much.
Ideas on what to do with myself for the rest of my miserable
life are welcome.

I am getting into OBS studio. You should become a power user.
You have been into games so you could get a twitch account and
learn how to use OBS well. Learn all about transitions.
Then come back with a channel on the tubes. All the posting we
did at the Diner mixing text and Pictures and later video
prepared us for this.
Be a streamer.

Mr K-Dog Thanks very much for that note. A pleasant surprise.
It was good of you to write it and I appreciate it very much.
I read the article about signature reduction. I understand that
such things are a real concern in these times. However, to me,
this brings up my own ineptitude around the internet and
computers in general. I have a modicum of skill around plants,
animals and simple machinery, but anything with a screen, keypad
and wires coming out of it gives me hives. I do not have any
sort of "presence" on any social media. No Facebook, and I don't
twit or tweet or whatever the hell it is. Believe me, I know
this marks me as an ignorant old fart.
You are more familiar with JMG than I am. I've corresponded
with him a couple of times over the years, but that's it. I was
aware that he was from the Seattle area but I didn't know he was
a self-promoted public figure. I'm not surprised though.
If I am interested in a subject, I enjoy reading or listening to
well reasoned opinion that comes at the matter from a much
different perspective. I found his take on collapse to be very
interesting. Perhaps the idea of a gradual collapse that
transpired over a few centuries reflected my own wishful
thinking. Recently, I came to the conclusion that a gradual
collapse is far less likely. I might give JMG's future a 20%
chance of being generally in the ballpark.
Regarding much of his other subject matter....I would not know
anything about the history of magic and occultism in the US if
it snuck up and bit me in the ass. I can't say that it is a
compelling subject. (for me)
I also have a suggestion for RE. But for the moment I have to
go move water around to try and save our young trees. Luckily
our spring still has water. I need to split and stack firewood
but the air is terrible. We'll see how far I get. I'll get that
to him later.
Thanks again for the note.

If I could still work up my interest and passion about informing
people about Doom this would be a good idea. Unfortunately, I
no longer feel passionate about informing the Hoi Polloi about
what is happening to their precious Konsumer Kulture and
so-called "Democracy" & "Freedom" and why. First off, what is
ongoing here is inevitable and second only a microscopically
small subset of people will even try to prepare themselves much
less try to do anything which might be the least bit effective
on the grand social scale. There is in fact just about ZERO
anybody can do on the large political level, certainly electing
Uncle Joe over Trumpovetsky isn't fixing anything. So why
should I blather on in Live Stream about it? I don't think I'll
get Rich & Famous this way. I used to say I would be satisfied
if I just helped one person understand Doom and do something to
prepare for it. Well, I did my share, I in fact helped a few
dozen people already, maybe even a few hundred. Somebody else
(you) can pick up the Torch and help a few more. Maybe you'll
even get a few thousand to be Activists, though I doubt it. I
mean really, even YOU haven't made changes you could now...like
GTFO of Suburbia and moving someplace slightly more survivable.
You no longer work AND you have the money too!
So trying to maintain or even grow my reputation as a Doom Guru,
Nostradamus & Pundit by Live Stream or any other method is a
non-starter for me. Hell, I'm not even interested enough in
women or sex to download porn! Even though I could do that for
free! Maybe if I was a Code Jockey and could write a great
Virus that would crash the banking system I would have a passion
for that, but sadly I am not such a CJ and at this stage of my
life never will be. 50 years ago at 14 I could have done it,
today at 64 fuhgeddaboudit. So becoming a Criminal Mastermind
is also pretty much out of the question.
We shall have to dig deeper to find me some way to occupy myself
during my dieing years.
