Witch’s Daughter – Installment 6

*For the previous chapters, please go here. These are posted first draft, as the brain dictates to the fingers which are remarkably stupid. Eventually it will be cleaned up and fixed just before page is made secret/taken down and the book is published. At that time I will take lists of typos or volunteers to proof read. For now, its written in a hurry, usually an hour before it goes up. And, let me remind you, its free SAH*

[image error] Nails, Pencils, and Chains by Vicki

For want of a nail, a shoe was lost;
For want of a shoe, a horse was lost;
For want of a horse, a rider was lost;
For want of a rider, a message was lost;
For want of a message, a battle was lost;
For want of a battle, a kingdom was lost;
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Wikipedia says that
proverb is many centuries old. Its usually repeated as a
cautionary tale. Do all your tasks well, keep everything clean and
neat and well-maintained, dont...

Homesick

I want to go home.

For two months and counting weve been in this strange vacation in a not very comfortable place.  Thats fine. Ive gone on vacation to places where life isnt every easy even if you have plenty of money. Thats okay. BUT not forever.

I miss my country where I dont have to worry about going to the grocery store and finding it stripped of basic items. Where I dont have to worry about whether or not there will be meat this fall. Or enough to feed my family, no matter how much...

Unlocking

Olly Olly, Oxen Free. Its time to get back to life.

Yesterday I came across a stupid well, it is post about how the economy unlocked, but people still arent going out.

I also keep seeing how Colorado is just like Georgia, so why arent democrats mad at Colorados Polis for unlocking?

Well, mostly because he hasnt.  The big difference here, apparently, is that some non essential businesses are now open for pick up. There are some that arent opening at all, because what is the point? Take...

You Ain’t Seen Nothing Like Us Yet A Blast From the Past, October 2013

*It is important in times of trouble to remember who we are and what it means. To remember that the world aint seen nothing like us yet, and though this might destroy many nations, it wont destroy us. At least not if we the few, the Odd, the USAians work like hell at it.
On another note, sorry the post is so late. Allergies have been playing havoc with me, not improved by the fact that Im spending a lot of time outside and around plants. So I took benadryl, which knocks me out cold.  Also,...

Hitting the Wall

[image error]

Yesterday in a private group we were talking about how its people under forty, particularly women who are terrified of becoming ill and dying with Winnie the Flu.

This is an almost complete mismatch with those the virus is likely to actually kill, since I believe (havent looked recently, so it might be a few percentage points off but surely within the margin of error) something like 98% of all people who even have to be hospitalized or show any symptoms beyond a mild cold are over sixty...

I’m fine

And I know Im not being good with novel installments, but younger son came home, and Im trying to fix what I couldnt finish in the garden last year. So.
Anyway, just letting you know everything is okay.

Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are

Reclaim May Day,  set yourself free.

Even as our supposed betters are laying in more and more prohibitions, including the disgusting Noisome in California, closing parks and beaches, there are some things we know about COVID-19.

Besides, that is, the fact that it was never as lethal as claimed.  We now know why they stomped so hard on its like the flu.  Because, essentially?  Its like the flu.

One thing weve found this has to be the most studied disease in the universe is that sunlight...

*I am not sure whether to give Bill credit for his prescience or set him on fire.  Being thats across the country for me and in lock down in an insane state (A lock down instigated by the new class and the media apropos nothing much), I suppose Ill have to go with the first. We are in a pitched battle for survival and we must hope that G-d looks after fools, drunkards and the United States of America SAH*
