oregon farming laws
i was surprised that i do not see anyone talking about this. your well will not belong to you and be public. you will need permits for everything, the only water you can use to grow will be rainwater you collect but even that can change. if a person plans to live off grid oregon is not the place for you.

Speed dating
So I found out about a speed-dating thing about a half hour drive away and for all nationalities, not just Spanish (the organiser is Dutch) and the first had about a dozen pitch up and the second had twenty and the third is coming up. All are 'mature singles' and numbers are kept approximately even.
I should go, right? Time and petrol and a small fee ... and the theory is we all know within minutes of meeting someone whether there's a spark or not, that's got to be better than facing a whole date and planning how to escape as quickly and politely as possible.
Has anyone done it, pros and cons?

If you always wanted to be a Space Cadet...
Maybe when you were younger, you wanted to be a Space Cadet. Don't despair... You still have a chance as NASA is taking applications! While the odds are slim, you have to be a U.S. citizen and you must pass the astronaut physical exam.
There is no age limit or 20/20 vision requirement and don't worry that NASA set a high bar for education.
They are looking for applicants with a master’s degree in science, technology, engineering or mathematics, followed by at least three years of related professional experience.
I'm sure (for a price) you can find someone on the dark web who can print your diploma and a tech company to vouch for your employment.
“The trip to Mars is six to nine months,” he said. “You’re going to be away from familiar for more than a year, one to three years. Are you really ready for that?”

After writing a condolence letter
It was a beautiful warm spring day. I decided to go for a walk in the woods.
Enjoying the beauty of a lovely day, I suddenly realized that I could hear no sounds. No cars, no airplans, no birds.
Something was wrong!
Suddenly I hear the roar of a lion!
A Lion ! Is there a zoo near here? No! Is there a circus nearby? I could not remember if I had read about one, but a lion can walk many kilometers a day. Why has there been no warning? The lion showed no interest in me and continued walking parallel to me about 10 meters away. My lucky day, The lion is not hungry. The silence was unbearable, so strange, then suddenly there was a strange roaring sound coming from the south, like thunder and lightening altogether.
The noise came nearer, it was not an ordinary storm, a hurricane? I should not be in these woods during a hurricane. A big branch falls down from the tree near me. If I stay here I am sure to be a nice easy meal for that lion. I have one option, get into the open. I ran, although I did not know where I was going, I thought, the lion may know, and I followed his path. 5 minutes later, I saw the wide opening with green like grass. It was a large opening and not one tree.
I lay down and did not look up, afraid to get something into my eyes.
My eyes are closed and I am lying on the ground. Suddenly I hear very heavy feet stampeding near me. I open my eyes and see the under foot of an elephant. I was right, circus animals are free, probably it happened because of the hurricane,
I look to see where is the elephant running to? Animals have a 7th sense to save themselves.
I see at to end of the opening a building? It is silver metal with small windows along all the length. More like an airplane than a building.
I decide to run into this silver metal thing. The opening is very large and has a low ramp. I look inside and see many animals. Several Lamas, sheep, goats and also the elephant.
It reminded me of Noah's ark, only the animals were not in pairs. On one side there were several people including some children. I went to sit on the ground next to them,
No one spoke, even the animals were quiet.
I sat there for hours and, fell asleep.
When I woke up, most of the animals were no longer inside and all people had left.
The sun is beaming into the vehicle. Only a few sheep and goats were still inside.
As there was no hurricane now, I decide to leave too,
Leaving by the ramp I saw that the place was a different place to where I went into the vehicle. The sky was blue, the sun was shining and exotic plantation caught my eyes.
I could hear water from the distance and decided to go an have a look.
There were pathways in all directions, so I used one of these paths so as not to tread on the beautiful exotic plants.
The sound of water was coming from a waterfall, Below I could see the water, shining in the sun. In the water I saw crocodiles, and ducks swimming on the water, a giraffe was drinking at the edge,
Now nothing more surprised me, nothing made sense. The animals you never would see in the same place all seemed happy to be near each other.
I continued walking the path, the vegetation was lush and so many exotic plants were flowering, it was like in a botany garden.
Everything was like in slow motion, like everyone had all the time in the world. The feeling was calm, warm, happy, content.
Am I dreaming? I pinch myself, no, I am awake! I decide to go back to the metallic silver vehicle.
I walk back, 2-3 people are sitting inside, I sit, getting sleepy.
A woman speaks: Awake! I will call the doctor!
The doctor comes into the room. He says: You were in a coma for 5 days, we had to revive you twice, once it took quite a long time.
Now I understand where I had been. I had a quick look into my future.
Later, looking at the news on the room TV I saw that there was a circus accident and that an elephant and one lion were killed. The circus was far away in a different country.

Weaponized...
I'm trying to be non-political today, but I'm noticing a really high percentage of Republicans using the word 'weaponized' to describe any government efforts that follow the law. Governor Ron DeSantis says it often, probably as much as he uses 'woke' to describe some political orientation that differs from his own.
Hearing the word weaponized gets connected with the Department of Justice (DOJ) when they research into someones (believed to be illegal) activity and have proof of wrongdoing... suddenly, the Republicans (or those who support Republicans) insert that word... weaponized in their statements on TRUTH, X (formally Twitter) or news shows.
Last week, I blogged about a political 'dog whistle' where certain words or phrases are used to alert followers of a political group. MAGA was one of them and weaponized needs to be added to the list.
Wouldn't you think laws are in place for a reason?
I get it... when a government agency follows the law they are being weaponized.

“One by one, the bare words align in a short sentence, so they may have a meaning.

In all these cases, changes are occurring naturally. Thus, the mind follows nature, so as the heart.

“I know the feeling of being alive. Divisions of glimpses within what is Reality. I have known what means to be dead whilst alive, or to have the impression of living whilst actually dying. I have been acquainted with the feeling of illness in a world in which there is no cure, except Reality. But to embrace such a Reality which surpasses human knowledge, - what price, must be paid, really?! With what price, comes such an insight, so deep that you could not even find whom to share it with, or… if there would be someone, to make an equation like one in a billion?! To what range and to what extent, the radius of circle, could expand, in further developing a spherical ensemble?! So alike, when you reach to a point in which understanding must be acquired in order to survive, but so cruel, so harsh, to realize, finally, that a dot – a simple dot, in time and space, becomes pointless if no meaning, if no reason, for its origin. For either the world is too big enough, either, it becomes smaller and smaller. Like the common saying with “nobody knows the truth because the truth is that nobody knows what truth really is” – but that is merely, an illusion of knowing, for this is particularity of how one perceives the notions. Within all these, Reality was, is and will be the same. One can not deny what’s obvious, without to live with the consequences of its own denial, and so forth, one can see, hear or feel whatever finds suitable, to its own benefit, without being concerned with what’s really going on far of its comfort zone, although will come the time to face everything when less expected, or just dealing with the facts at the right moment of time, in comprehension of Reality and its own role…
The world looks different, in times of being alive. I’m asking myself: does really the parameters of life change the way one feels?! That’s because… there are, at some point, special circumstances, in which one, aware or not, finds it way back. Or, were my personal impressions?!.. No, that can’t be right. I can distinguish, within illusions, from time to time. The little I may know, but that’s enough. I ask, finally: what difference is found in one eye looking to the world, in one ear hearing in what consists the world, in one’s heart in order to perceive within the world?..”

Donald Doe Citizen...
On Thursday evening, the former president of the United States, flew to the Atlanta airport in his private jet, gets escorted in a motorcade with top security to the county jail to be processed for his recent felony charges. The entire event took less than an hour and he was escorted back to the airport to return to his residence at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Depending on who you listen to, he's got 4 indictments pending, maintains the highest lead in the poll for the Republican nomination for president in the 2024 election, teetering on the possibility of a conviction, yet has the ability to wrangle himself a self-pardon in the event he actually gets elected president.
Blogs aren't supposed to solicit responses from readers... but it would appear to the group of Trump supporters, they are comfortable with this man in the position of power as the leader of America... again.
That means that the Republican party cannot get anyone in the running they can support.
By a raise of hands, the majority of the would-be losers at the debate would support Trump should he win the nomination. He will represent the 'best of the best' of what their party has to present to America.
Reader comments to news stories (I've read) are often laser accurate and describe his pampering by the system allows him privileges that no one else in this country (having 4 indictments) is allowed to do. No restrictions of any kind... and should any be invoked, he and his supporters would squeal like stuck pigs.
How skewed are the polls... ?
If they lean in your political direction, they must be accurate. right?
But, if they lean in the opposite direction, they must be wrong... right?
Some polls reflect undying support for Trump, even if he's convicted on any of the charges, while others are showing that maybe less people are willing to vote for someone because they are tired of the daily back and forth 6 articles a day.
Come to your senses people... envision what 4 years of 'Vendetta in Chief' would be like and after the laws are changed for 'President for life' it will be too late.
Are you afraid to think about that?
