Leftovers.

 Oh those big dinners such as Turkey Day and Christmas.  Mom fixed plenty and as a teen I could eat 3 plates at dinner.  The leftovers beckoned my brother and me for sandwiches and pie later.  We burned it all off!  

For any sierra juliet whiskey creeping about, my bfam and I devised a system of delivering food to the poor.  More on that another time.

Leftovers can well be shared.  Loaves and fishes come to mind.  Sometime it's better than original and sometimes not -s-.  But it is available.  Waste not, want not.

On another level, it can mean inheritance.  Materially, it is effects, clothes, house, furniture etc.  Mentally, it's what was taught.  Spiritually, it is actually the core of forever, such as love never dying.  

After all is said and done, what's left?

A meal or garbage.

It's what we make of it.

Follow The Leaders

 Confusion runs rampant.  Armies or gangs of terrorist are running amok.  That's how the collectivists hide/obfuscate.  We have a commie hydra on our hands.

We need to watch, analyze, calculate.  Yes, we must be ready for action.  Just the reason we must do the former.

The hydra.  Cut off a head, 2 more appear.  Heracles solved that.  He got his nephew to cauterize each stump as he cut each head.  The final head was cut and placed under a huge rock.  Heracles dipped his arrowheads in the poisonous blood.

Terrorists?  Go after the heads.  Use their poisonous politics/tactics against them.

Is this being done?

We will see.

Undertaker

 These days there are those who want to bury America.  The masks as it were have fallen.  The tactics are classic Bolshevik.

We need undertakers.

Now, you have to take a look at the words definitions.

True, most think of those who prepare and bury the dead.  Quite a biz.

Undertake also means to take on or assume a job/responsibility.  The responsibility should be obvious.

Restore the Republic.

There is no time to fence sit.  We must be informed and when we act, it must be in truth and self defense.

Perhaps the job is more dire than the days of the War pf Independence.  

Be careful, for our enemies are slippery  They lie and denying their own existence is part of it.

We have Light and Truth on our side.  But we must act.  We must undertake the responsibility of 'doing Freedom'.  

As the collectivists try to turn tables, spread the example given us long ago but fresh as dawm.

Kruschchev said communism would bury the US.  That happens only if we let it.

People must be shown.  In spite of the obtuse who cling to lead weight of denial, crowds are flocking to Liberty.  

Undertake to show and teach them.  They are our siblings in Freedom

As for that common definition of undertaker, I leave you with the words of Dr Joseph Warren:

"May our land be a land of liberty...until the last shock of time

shall bury the empires of the world in one common undistinguishable

ruin!"   Joseph Warren

My BFAM

 My brother from another mother crossed over.  For the sake of anonymity, I'll leave off his name.  But, I'll tell you about him.

We first met in a college English class.  As people do, we simply got to know each other.  This guy was one of those people one likes from the start.  We talked things out and found much in common.

We were both involved in church work and cared about parishioners as well as all the people in several neighborhoods.  In an increasingly subverted church, we were a support base for one another.  Individuals banding together ala E Pluribus Unum.

Our commitment to family was literal as we became fathers.  Being there and raising our kids was predominate.  

We weathered the storm of liberal assault when we were actually historically liberal.  We were truly content of character.

We gathered good food discarded by groceries and distributed it to neighborhoods.  Perhaps a local food bank idea grew from that.

He was a counselor.  He helped many kids find success out of turmoil.  We both dealt with the tempest tossed and relied on one another for support.

We fought evil and evil attacked us.  By God's grace and our friendship, we came through.  

I never knew anyone who healed and loved more than he.

He was godfather to the kids, a defender of family and Light.

Vietnam War vet, doctorate in Education, counselor, family man.  And more

Free spirit of Light on earth.

I learned to fight bullies.

Physically from my big brother of blood.

Intellectually by my GreatGrandmother.

Spiritually by my big brother from another mother.

There is so much.  Hard in a few words to summarize a life of love and commitment to Light.

He is in spirit.

Love never dies.

Adoption

Sometimes family of blood and choice converge.  One can be better than another, but certainly not always.

Bloodlines are important to some.  There are those who take great pains concerning progeny.

Now, there is nothing wrong with family pride.  I am proud of mine.  The study of genes, dna etc, are interesting.  And the social and spiritual aspects are significant.  We are curious how we are put together.  

We must examine ourselves, flaws and all.  What makes us human.  And what doesn't  The current political climate has plenty of examples.

Standing for Liberty or tyranny couldn't be clearer.  Don't fall for the hype.  We have many areas still untouched and countless proponents for Freedom.  Beware trickery.  Look out for fraud.

I believe the President is aware and many with him are dealing with the negatives.  There has never been a more vociferous, antiAmerican attitude in our history.  The answer is all of us.

There are many here since before the country was born.  Like Mom used to say, some of our family met others when they arrived.  

There are many who have recently joined us.

What do we have in common?  Opportunity.  What we make it.

We are brought in together.  One family.

Arguments?  Sure.  What family doesn't argue.  But to destroy, well that's more Cain and Abel territory.

To build, strive, work.

E Pluribus Unum.

Sic

The following is opinion.  

I'm not a doctor.  Haven't played one yet, though I portrayed an animal husbandry expert -s-.  

This is an impression of something about a year ago.

Opinions?  Well actually it's what docs call their diagnoses.

Associates of Mrs Sigurd returned from overseas, one from Ireland and one from China.  The former was fine.  The latter displayed no symptoms.  But several people did.

Mrs Sigurd had a terrible bout of what we thought was bronchitis.  She was homebound for 3 1/2 weeks.  

Though she was in her room across the hall, I came down with it too.

Extreme fatigue, sore throat like glass shards, loss of appetite, loss of taste/smell, congestion/inability to get deep breaths, and a headache like a constant stabbing.  It was hell.

I've had pneumonia/bronchitis/flu several times.  Seasonal and taken care of with various meds including a certain z med.  Nothing was ever like this.

We went to the doctor's office.  They seemed puzzled but said there was a slight spike in early Fall cases.

I was given a breath test and received a huffer like asthma patients get.  Also doxycycline.  Mrs S got something similar.

Altogether, we endured about a month of recovery.  

Our daughter visited and got ill.  She immediately went to the doc, got a huffer and fairly quickly recovered.

For us, everything receded slowly, but it left.

My sense of taste/smell was the last and it frizzed for a while.  Mrs S was more damaged as she had preexisting conditions.

My system was sturdy and built back up.

Just an observation.

We are stronger now.

A sick or fear ridden society is more easily controlled.

We are experiencing lies mixed with truth.

Watch yourselves and make sure you don't surrender to fear.

Blues Brews

Well it would be great to kick back with some beer and listen to some blues.  Maybe later.  Right now we have some thinking to do.

One of the things that should come out of all the baloney is a good self examination.  Time to reflect to see where we're at.  Have we taken things for granted?  Is apathy a factor?  And do we delegate responsibility when we need to stand up ourselves?  These are all being exploited by the collectivists.  All of us should, like Crockett said, ''Be sure you're right then go ahead''.  And those in public eye/service are no exception.

Specifically, police are under attack and scrutiny.  We'll deal with politicians etal another time.  

Police work has been oversimplified and stereotyped.  Often portrayed as shining heroes or corrupt villains, real people can get lost in the shuffle.  

Mind you, there are many heroes.  They risk so that others are helped.  

And police work is detailed yet routine.  It's dangerous and sometimes boring.  And isn't over w/o paper work.  It's a club sort of.  It is also paramilitary, with a different approach except in the direst of circumstances.  

Often there are split second decisions.  Some involve physical events including shootings.  Each incident can be different.  But one thing should be clear.  It is a matter of self defense.  

Officers often do protect.  Obligation may vary.  They listen and arbitrate aka peace keeping.

The work can jade and embitter.  They need a strong support base.  It's a curious balance.

They see the down side of life and are called to the midst of evil.  They are between the dark and light.

If cops break the law they must be treated like anyone else.

When they do their jobs, they must be thanked and when heroic, honored.  

The Bolsheviks are attempting to do away with cops.  Then they would replace with soviet or Maoist secret police.

An Oath to uphold and defend the Constitution is sacred.

Now I tell you I've known many police.  Even a few top cops.  I almost became one and have counseled.  My son may enter a department.

So each cop must have faith in themselves AND all of us supporting them.

As I said to an officer the other day, 'we are all in this together' after he said we must watch each other's backs.

Do you serve the people or the state?
