That’s kind of how every morning has started for me for the last 45 years.

So, the sad news is that I spoke to my dad Sunday morning and he sounded just terrible and by Sunday evening, he suddenly started to go downhill fast. His hospice coordinator texted me and said I needed to get down there as soon as I could.

I drove down to see him yesterday to say goodbye. I know he heard me because he squeezed my hand while I spoke to him, but he was “asleep” the entire time I was with him.

The hospice nurses did not expect him to live through the night, but so far, he is still with us. But he is just barely breathing.

I have to say that yesterday was an amazing day for me. Even though it started out extremely stressful and upsetting and sad, once I actually saw my dad and spent time alone with him — and, also, the hospice coordinator took me aside yesterday and told me some incredibly beautiful things that my dad had told her about me — I felt at peace for him and for me, too. I know he is ready to go.

The one friend I have in these parts who is wide awake and follows Q and the Truthers, drove down with me yesterday and she was such a blessing. She kept my mind off of all that stressful stuff, kept me focused, plus we laughed a lot. I don’t think I could have made that trip yesterday without her.

Now, I am just waiting for the call from the nurse to say my dad has passed.

Meanwhile, it’s a really beautiful day so I’m going to spend a little time out in my gardens. Oh — and, plus, my ancient dogwood tree bloomed during the night! I think it’s the final dogwood tree left in the entire county to finally bloom. In fact, I didn’t think it was going to bloom at all this year since it took so long. But this morning, as the sun was coming up and I stood at the kitchen window drinking my first cup of coffee, I looked over at the tree and suddenly realized it had bloomed. I felt like it was somehow connected to my dad.

Anyway.

Here’s what I have for today.

******************

Last night in my bed, I was basically out of my mind. Literally. My entire soul was wiped out and my mind was reeling.

Here’s my listening music from all that — the album Fragments – Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997). Especially this incredible song, “Not Dark Yet” . Enjoy, gang.

“Not Dark Yet”

Shadows are fallin’ and I’ve been here all day
It’s too hot to sleep and time is runnin’ away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I’ve still got the scars that the sun didn’t heal
There’s not even room enough to be anywhere
It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there.

Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there’s been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writin’ what was in her mind
I just don’t see why I should even care
It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there.

Well, I’ve been to London and I been to gay Paris
I’ve followed the river and I got to the sea
I’ve been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
I ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ in anyone’s eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there.

I was born here and I’ll die here against my will
I know it looks like I’m movin’ but I’m standin’ still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don’t even hear the murmur of a prayer
It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there.

c – 1997 Bob Dylan

Okay, gang.

Alas, they need me to go in to the train station again today, but just for a couple of hours in the afternoon, to close it down at the end of the day. The manager has to do some weird thing, like, attend his infant son’s christening, or some such thing as that!!

Obviously, I don’t really mind helping out but what a really LOVELY Sunday it is out here today!! I wish I could just stay home and putter in my gardens and be out in all that sunshine!

Anyway. This cheered me considerably this morning. If you followed my blog this past week, you’ll know why!

From Michael Jackson’s channel:

******************

The whole “saving Israel for last” and “it will look like WWIII” thing appears to be in full swing! So we’ll see how this FINALLY plays out.

RT _ IRAN FINISHES RETALIATION OP, WARNS ISRAEL AGAINST FURTHER ATTACKS (1 minute):

Meanwhile…

From Real Raw News:

“Military Mobilizes Behind President Trump

A single email appears to have been the catalyst for a military mobilization in which four OV-22 Ospreys packed with heavily armed Marines departed Camp Pendleton to the east and, on the opposite side of the country, Special Forces detachments left Fort Liberty with orders to “reach rally point Alpha.”

The unexpected White Hat assemblage coincided precisely with President Donald J. Trump’s fundraising email yesterday morning: “72 hours until all hell breaks loose!” ostensibly referencing April 15, the day the Deep State’s illegal “hush money” trial against him is expected to commence in New York City.

Moments after Trump sent the email, Real Raw News received a message from a Camp Pendleton source saying, “General Smith stands ready to defend the Constitution and POTUS. We’re going airborne.” […]

[full article is here]

****************

The timing of that is certainly interesting, isn’t it, gang? I sure hope that, this time, we’re going to finally get somewhere. But we shall see.

****************

That is really all for now. Stay alert this coming week. Depending on how my dad feels in the morning, I might drive down to see him and if I do, I won’t be posting to the blog.

Enjoy your Sunday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

Listening music from the train station yesterday!

I love this classic song from yesteryear, gang!! It sounded incredible, blasting from the sound system. Engelbert Humperdinck, “Release Me.” 1967. Enjoy!!

I’ll start with some Charlie Ward stuff. He was at Mar A Lago yesterday, and he not only posted this photo of himself there with the Rev. Bob Joyce:

He also posted this (hmmmm….):

Gang, this debate has been going on for about 4 years already, but in the video above, they raise some interesting points;

1. Bob Joyce allegedly attended Lisa Marie’s funeral
2. There are no photos or any public documents of “Bob Joyce” before he suddenly appeared on this planet a few years ago as a preacher in the South.
3. Bob Joyce never publicly states that he isn’t Elvis — just that he is only “himself” and always has been.

I love this stuff. Plus, when you listen to the preacher talk and you close your eyes, it literally sounds just like Elvis. And forget about how this preacher SINGS…..

This was posted on my local Connecting Consciousness group, and it is this sickening individual (who is rumored to be no longer among us here in Ohio, but actually at Gitmo), and this regrettable situation that has caused many, many, many people in the next county over — people that include my young houseguests, and their pets, who are totally and completely homeless — to be unable to afford the staggering rents:

Les Wexner’s Second Life: How The Epstein-Tarnished Billionaire Is Quietly Reshaping Ohio

“[…] Hall says she was offered $5,000 to option her home on 10 acres. She was later paid $1.3 million for the property, one of at least 21 residents to sell for $1 million or more. Pig farmers James and Katherine Heimerl pocketed $20 million for their more than 200 acres. “We did not know what was going on with the land at the time,” adds Hall. […]

[…] Tech giant Intel announced in January 2022 that it would build two semiconductor factories in the area, spending $20 billion and bringing 7,000 construction jobs and 3,000 full-time jobs to this rural patch just outside Columbus.  […]”

**************

I have, of course, driven by that area many times and it is so fucking ugly now. All the homes, the farms, the greenery, the trees — all of it being taken over by cement.

And Intel’s presence in that area now is what is jacking up the value of real estate beyond human comprehension over in the next county. Regular residents who have lived there all their lives now cannot afford to live.

When I drive to town every week to get the groceries for me and my cats, I always buy one bag of groceries now to leave at the little free pantry next to the church. The food is gone in a heartbeat, gang. Every single bit of it.

I spent several HOURS yesterday doing my taxes. My State taxes went through fine, but the Federal taxes were declined. They wouldn’t accept my paperwork online, hard as I tried to keep submitting it.

This film was posted by James Tabor the other day.:

“This film was produced in the UK and only shown once–as there was fear that Christians would watch it and conclude that the Rabbi had won the debate. … It was written by Hyam Maccoby and is closely based a debate, or “Disputation,” that took place in 1263 in Barcelona, Spain during the rule of King James I of Aragon. The Rabbi portrayed is Moses ben Nachman, one of the great scholars of Judaism of all time, and Pablo Christian, who was born a Jew, converted to Christianity, and became a priest and head of the Dominican order in Spain. There was concern at the time that the Rabbi might have been so effective that he would convince even Christian believers to reconsider their identification of the Messiah. …”

When I was a really little girl, my adoptive mother had moments of being a really great mom. One of the things I recall best about her was that she loved reading to me.

Yesterday’s listening music!!

From Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers’ first album, 1976. The song, “Mystery Man”. Enjoy.

“Mystery Man”

Don’t hide from me, baby
Shame on you
Incognito, honey, you’re so crude
I don’t mind
Take my hand
Baby, I wanna be your mystery man

Yeah you got ruby lipstick
Too much rouge
And dime-store jewelry
Cheap perfume
I don’t mind
Take my hand
Honey, I wanna be your mystery man

You know I do, you know I do
Oh, you know I do, you know I do
Yeah, you know I do, you know I do
Baby, you know I do, you know I do

Ah, don’t you hide from me, baby
Shame on you
Dime-store jewelry. Honey, you’re so crude
I don’t mind
Take my hand
Baby, I wanna be your mystery man

You know I do, you know I do
Oh, you know I do, you know I do
Yeah, you know I do, you know I do
Baby, you know I do, you know I do

Wow, so the eclipse was incredible out here in the Hinterlands!

Not quite as dark as it got up in Cleveland…

But it did get really dark out here in Muskingum County. The schools must have closed for the eclipse, because plenty of neighbors and their kids were outside yesterday, watching the sky. (No one at all was wearing those crazy glasses, either.) And at the peak of the eclipse, it was dark enough that I couldn’t even see my neighbors anymore. And the occasional pickup trucks driving by had to have their headlights on.

I think I stared right at the eclipse for about 90% of it. And the most awesome thing, gang — about 2 hours later, when I sat down at the kitchen table to eat my dinner, I turned on the TV to watch “Vicar of Dibley” and I put my glasses on…

And I couldn’t see a fucking thing! Everything was insanely blurry. So I took my glasses off and I could see the TV perfectly. It was incredible. And I looked around my kitchen: I could see the clock without squinting; I could see the houses across the road through the screen door perfectly. It was amazing.

It’s not as perfect this morning but my eyesight is still better than it’s been in decades. So between eclipses and pearl powder with organic castor oil… I’m planning on throwing the glasses away. One day. Soon. I hope…

Okay.

Here’s today’s stuff:

Listening- music from late last night!!

Another one from Linda Ronstadt’s Simple Dreams, 1977 — when I listen to this album now, gang, for the first time in decades, it amazes me that I still know every word to these songs! “Old Paint”. Enjoy, gang!

“Old Paint”

I ride an old paint
I lead an old dam
I’m going to Montana
To throw a houlihan
They feed in the coolies
They water in the draw
Their tails are all matted
Their backs are all raw

Ride around
Ride around real slow
The fiery and the snuffy are raring to go

Old Bill Brown
Had a daughter and a son
One went to Denver
And the other went wrong
His wife she died in a poolroom fight
And still he keeps singing from morning til night

Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go

Well when I die
Take my saddle from the wall
Put it on my pony
And lead him from his stall
Tie my bones to his back
Turn our faces to the west
And we’ll ride the prairie
That we like the best

Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go

Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go

c- Traditional

Of the millions of people who have gone blind, insane, or simply died over the various and endless millenniums because they were outside and not wearing silly glasses, during an eclipse.

Okay!

Sorry I missed the entire weekend. I was ridiculously busy because of everything going on writing-wise, and then needing to work some extra shifts at the train station. But, hey — at least I lost 723 pounds from all that running around and not having enough time to eat!

But now, in addition to hardly being able to walk, my brain is just sort of stupefied.

But the GOOD news??!! I finally have the most amazing lawncare guy, EVER. He came out here on Saturday while I was at the station, and when I came home, even in the dark, I could see that my yard looked FANTASTIC! It literally brought tears of joy to my eyes. Finally, gang. It’s been 4 years since my yard looked this great.

All righty.

Here’s what I have for today.

This was from Simon Parkes on Saturday morning:

“I will be putting out my statement on Abortion and Abortion Rights tomorrow morning. Republicans, and all others, must follow their hearts and minds, but remember that, like Ronald Reagan before me, I, and most other Republicans, believe in EXCEPTIONS for Rape, Incest, and Life of the Mother. Great love and compassion must be shown when even thinking about the subject of LIFE, but at the same time we must use common sense in realizing that we have an obligation to the salvation of our Nation, which is currently in serious DECLINE, TO WIN ELECTIONS, without which we will have nothing other than failure, death, and destruction. We will not let that happen. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”

Interesting turnaround from the Vatican — (almost sounds like we’re getting back to normal around here, doesn’t it?):

“NEW – The Vatican in Rome releases “Dignitas Infinita” and declares sex change surgery, surrogacy, and gender theory as grave threats to human dignity.”

My mood this morning was quite curious, and more than a bit on the melancholy side. So I have two rather different options for you today, both of which appealed to me equally while drinking my coffee in bed.

Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton, the truly glorious, “I Never Will Marry” from Linda’s incredible album, Simple Dreams, 1977. Sort of my life story, not counting the 2 marriages….Kleenex suggested but not required:

And from the inimitable and incomparable Hank Williams, “Settin’ the Woods On Fire”, 1952:

“Settin’ The Woods On Fire”

Comb your hair and paint and powder
You act proud and I’ll act prouder
You sing loud and I’ll sing louder
Tonight we’re settin’ the woods on fire

You’re my gal and I’m your feller
Dress up in your frock of yeller
I’ll look swell but you’ll look sweller
Settin’ the woods on fire

We’ll take in all the honky tonks
Tonight we’re havin’ fun
We’ll show the folks a brand new dance
That never has been done

I don’t care who thinks we’re silly
You’ll be daffy and I’ll be dilly
We’ll order up two bowls of chili
Settin’ the woods on fire

I’ll gas up my hot rod stoker
We’ll get hotter than a poker
You’ll be broke but I’ll be broker
Tonight we’re settin’ the woods on fire

We’ll sit close to one another
Up one street and down the other
We’ll have a time oh brother
Settin’ the woods on fire

We’ll put aside a little time
To fix a flat or two
My tires and tubes are doin’ fine
But the air is showin’ through

You clap hands and I’ll start bowin’
We’ll do all the laws allowin’
Tomorrow I’ll be right back plowin’
Settin’ the woods on fire

c- 1952 Fred Rose, Ed Nelson Sr.

More from Mudcrutch. “Oh, Maria”, 2008. Wow, I’d forgotten how much I loved this album, gang!! Enjoy.

“Oh Maria”

Hey Maria, with your kind eyes
Laugh through the day time
Night comes, she cries
I am just a rider on this rough road
Driving some smoke up from old Mexico

Oh Maria, whiskey and rye
Walking up the stairs with a man twice her size
If I had money, I’d buy her a rose
Dress her in gold from her head to her toes

Yeah Maria, sparkles like sunlight on a lake
Every time she passes by, it’s all that I can take
Maria, oh oh oh
Maria, oh oh oh

Oh Maria, stays out of the sun
Waits for the rain to fall down on her tongue
Hey Maria, give me a smile
Let me come over and stay for awhile

Yeah Maria, sparkles like sunshine on a lake
Every time she passes by, it’s all that I can take
Maria, oh oh oh
Maria, oh oh oh

Maria, oh oh oh
Maria, oh oh oh

Yeah Maria, send me a smile
Let me come over and stay for awhile
