OLD BUZZARD GIVES ADVISE

 

Growing old doesn’t make you smart, just smarter than you were in your youth.


That said, I have lived through eight decades, so the advice I offer - you can take it or leave it.


I have seen the environment drastically change since the time of my youth and young manhood. The water and the air have become more polluted, and the earth is warmer, causing many species of animals and insects to migrate north.


In the first Native village we lived in in 1985 we were informed that the well, which was located among Oil storage tanks, was polluted and that we should draw our water from a second well located in the center of the village.  A few weeks later we were told that the well in the center of the village was polluted and that we should boil the water (there were one-hundred-fifty people in the village and at least that many dogs.)  We ordered our first water distiller from a company called Water Wise, and have distilled our water ever since.

     

When we lived in Kentucky there were signs on the Ohio river warning people to limit the number of fish they should eat from the river and for pregnant women to avoid eating river fish.   Now here in Maine, the Fish and Game department has the same warning in their literature.

 

In the last Native village we lived in, there was a gold mine to the north and a platinum mine to the south.  People ate fish from the river and there was a high cancer rate in the village.  We distilled our water.


Likely, most water sources on this earth are not fit for human consumption without extensive treatment. To me, distilling our water is a health precaution. 


 

 

 


I don't advertise for any product - just share my experience of products I like.
This is our unit and cost about $350.  The unit is dependable and last for decades.  We distill a gallon a day, which adds about $15 a month to our light bill.

 

There are eight billion people in the world and our water supplies are finite.  There could be a future time when wars will be fought to control water sources.

 

 All problems stem from unchecked population growth.

I'M A BAD BOY

 I just had three of my old post two from 2011 and one from 2013 put behind a warning presumably because of mentioning  specific sex acts that aren't available in heaven.   I wonder how that works?   Did someone access my old post and complain to google?  Has this happened to anyone else?  Are these the same people that ban books?  Is this creeping Christianity?  

Help me out here Yellowdog Granny, do I dare use fuck in my post?

ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING IN COLORADO - WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

 



 

Police have in custody the man that attacked a gay nightclub in Colorado, but not the man responsible for the attack.

 

 


Responsible for more American deaths and carnage 

than any person alive today.



George W. Bush not only crashed the economy in his last term of office and was responsible for the near destruction of two of our major automobile companies, but he got us mired in an unnecessary twenty-year war that cost the lives of 2,000 military personnel and hundreds of thousands of civilians.  

By letting the Assault Weapons Ban expire during his first term he is directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of children and thousands of adults that have been killed by military type assault weapons in the hands of civilians.

WORLD POPULATION JUST CRESTED EIGHT BILLION!

 

CASSANDRA WARNING




 

The world population just crested eight billion.   People worry about political unrest, climate change, pollution, wars, pandemics, and nuclear weapons…  But, all of these concerns have one hidden root driver: uncontrolled population expansion.    

It is obvious, that we will reach a point where human consumption and pollution will become unmanageable. 

Where is that critical maximum?  Ten billion? Twelve billion?   At the present rate of population growth, we could exceed fifteen billion people populating the earth by the end of this century.

Increased consumption.

Increased pollution.

Accelerated climate change.

Worldwide pandemics.

Increased conflicts and wars.

Depletion of finite natural resources.

Government population control (one-child families)  is an unpopulated subject and it is easy to place blame for burgeoning population on other countries.

I would not presume an answer, but uncontrolled population growth poses the biggest danger to the human race in the future.

I am old, so I don’t have a dog in this hunt, and I won’t be here to tell you ‘I told you so.’


WORLD POPULATION CLOCK


Last week I looked at some boots online, and now boot commercials are spamming my searches.  Sorry.

WHAT THE FUCK?

Last week we had three of the hottest days ever recorded in November in Maine.

Today it is 31 degrees and snowing - up to six inches predicted!
