Thor's Field Day

...

...


...

The end of July brings me lots of thunder n lightning storms, just in time for wonderful Day Off. (Yesterday) I was up at 7a waiting for the storms to be far enough away to put the fans in the windows to pull out all the steamy hot then reverse to pull in the perfect 70 degrees F so I could get some zzz's finally.
...
Then after struggling to awaken to begin my errand countdown, I heard a news weather alert for a severe cell heading this way. So instead of hanging out clothes n getting out I waited around for the weather to go by. News reported hail in the area I needed to head into, then it calmed down a bit before getting here. Oh well, just more to get done another before work day.
...
Life seems so boring without my daily online adventures! I want my docs files back (whine~)
...
The Wampanoags signed paper with the town of Middleborough, right up the road from here. They want to be given soveriegn land for a casino. Abount a third of the people at a huge meeting voted against it. It'd definately take the rural out of the whole zone.
...
I don't like the idea of more people, traffic, n the resulting crime, either, but I'd be nice to find a new job just up the road without a commute to Beantown. It'd open up merchant, food service, n entertainment job opportunities.
...
The native Wampanoags aren't yet recognized as a true tribe by the Fed Gov. So even this step could hold up the whole project for years or indefinately.
...
Just because your great, great great, great, great, great, grand-dad was around here in the 1600's helping out the Pilgrims is no guarantee of recognition by the clueless authorities.
...
We've got public native statues, a Wigwam Spiritualist center, annual Pow-Wows in the middle of Hyannis Center, ... after all, this was their summer camp village where I live, n now these people have decades of court battles already behind them trying to prove their bloodline's inheritance.
...
I have a neighbor who can prove he's descended from an original, off the boat, pilgrim. RR even has some of the furniture they sat on, as well as papers linking him back. He gets respect.
Of course, word-of-mouth passed down for centuries doesn't count in court. Especially with all the mixed in blood-lines.
...
Injustice n unfairness prevails.
Who gets the power n the bux?
Not the deserving...
...
How can it be that I can work my butt off 50 hours a week, n still not be able to keep up with the rising prices of basic living?
The ruling rich people pick on the grandmas n families fighting to keep swimming away from the greedy rip-tide ready to slide away a lifetime of accomplished survival.
...
American dream (my Ass). Luckily I learned to swim young.
...
If I were "Thor" tossing lightning bolts around like lawn jarts, maybe I could change a few things around here...
