done, maybe do a little special touch on it tomorrow.. it was a
distinct knife project, I usually get a bit more fancy, this is
utilitarian... what I was after, was something back towards the
roots of the hunting/camp knife that I have described in this blog..
the knife of the outdoorsman living in a cabin in the brush 200 years
ago perhaps? it wouldnt elicit much attention from most people, the
average city dweller would think it was an old kitchen knife, due to
shape and wooden handle... my uncles, with their individualistic
edged hardware, would eye it closer, especially if I make a sheath
for it...
they know me well enough, to pay attention to what I have going...
where it differs most from a kitchen knife, is thicker blade, slightly
larger handle in the hand, lanyard hole with grommets and liner tube,
and it's subtile shape with its ancient lines...
It was alot of work start to finish, I dont have most tools garage
guys have... so its definitely hand made... my guess is 8 hours into
doing it..
and working Cortesa by hand is generally a bitch....
but, now I have a lifetime posession, practical, durable, unique,
and quality... funny thing; with mass production using victims of
socialism's dark side, and inflation of money, due to capitalism's
ugly head, the only thing that has any true value, is what you do for
yourself that needs neither..
I listened to short wave awhile today, sounds like the US is
still on a collision course.... The twits of government arent smart
enough to leave people alone.. I cant think of any mistake they
havent done, with trumpets sounding to announce how great they are...
the only mistake they havent made yet, is actually starting the civil
war...
and I'm curious in a macabre way, just what it is they will do that
gets them over run and feet shy of the ground... I've known a lot
of rednecks in my life... not people you want to piss off or
threaten....
they're pretty good folks generally,, some real shitheads, but most
mind their own business, and make decent neighbors...
later, woke, now after midnight.... thinking about bazaar stuff I
heard on shortwave, human sacrifice in Uganda, and slave labor, and
human meat for sale in north korea.. humans are fairly sick critters,
be it bazaar things in remote places, or another line I heard today
about american justice system being admitted by cops to be a money
extraction game now...
it all adds up to insanity... I realized the money extraction/legal
system paradigm years ago, and have heard others personally who have
made the same realizations... So to hear it on short wave was no
surprise...
what I do know, is it all leads somewhere...
That as a civilisation goes corrupt, it's demise hastens... and
when the civilisation thats a planet wide technocult, an economic
empire of
techno-vassels, with capitalistic fiefdoms, disquised as states or
multinational corporations, that its collapse will likely be sudden &
catastrophic.... road warriors without any fuel...
people are starting to realize how bad it is... petty
corruptocracies, nukes bleeding from one petty tyrant to others,
doesnt take a prophet to predict where its going...
which leaves the small guys best having got their personal trip in
order... interestingly enough, exactly what sages & prophets
invariably push for... if it wasnt for the nukes, and the trashed
environment, a crash of the Titans wouldnt bother me too much, I'd
feel bad for the stupid and innocent types, but figure it a learning
experience....
unfortunately, I supect the warnings in Bible, Koran, etc. To have
been left for us by a higher authority, who kinda knows where it all
goes...
and the words; no flesh left alive, are fairly serious, that if the
skygods didnt come, we'd be facing extinction... this is sobering to
the thinking man, but does nothing for those armored and Teflon
coated by arrogagance and greed..
but the good news, is they get their's, and some of us who do get
personal trips in good order, can maybe survive, and be waiting when
the skygods pull into orbit... I think its all we've got, because
who ever poisoned the human genome did a good job... everybody is
screwed up some, and some are really sick.. the mild cases can cure
themselves, if they'd try, the sick ones are beyond hope.. the good
news is there is a chance thru realizing and paradigm change, to avert
doom... chances are slim,too many people more into garbage, than
into looking sternly into their mirrors....
and the system and all its TV & money Zombies, is headed for an ugly ending..
