Prophesy

I prophesied that this area would be cleansed by a tornado or flood, & of course I was right.Decided to tear it all down & start from scratch after six yrs. Not really. It'll still be as shown in the linked item, but w/ new sand, since I'd cut much of the previous mat into various sizes, leading to a patchwork rather than even surface; this time, all smooth sand beneath everything except the grass mat & the trench, idiot. (Cue "Trenchtown Rock".)
Also saves one the trouble of applying ground cover & similar mind-numbing activities. The first 50x100 inch mat ran about US$25.00, four or five yrs. later it was 40 bones. (Guess it would've been $33.99 had I bought it in the store. In Omaha.) Yes, it's from the Woodland Scenics pirates. Couldn't find anything else as large. "Made in the USA" so no tariff. Is sand more expensive today? Are the vinyl & adhesive imported?Nice letter 'though.
While the land was restored to its natural plywood state I took the opportunity to add another level of milk crates, jacking it to 43¾" from the floor. Previously 32" & change.This provides a better viewing angle, putting my eyes about 120 scale ft. above it, rather than the previous Eyes-of-Gawd view. Also spares the aging spine constant bending while painting all the effin' track & slapping it & roadbed down well enough that trains will run w/o derailing, uncoupling, or starting a fire, & then assembling two or three more structures. See y'all sometime in '27.
Other price news: Purchased a quarter-inch by 2 ft. square hunk of poplar plywood from Columbia Forest Products on 26 December 2025, for US$14.68. Ordered another on 1 Feb. 2026: $15.56. At least they cut it for you.

A Little Talk W/ Jesus?

He needs a pep talk, maybe even a stern lecture, because he is running late. Very late. Some have been waiting since the Year 1,000 A.D. Not at all "quickly' as promised. Why, it's almost as if he weren't coming back to save us!
How dare you, "video owner"? The Fairfield Four's "Just a Little Talk With Jesus" (1949) belongs to the ages, not some shmuck w/ a YouTube acc't. I rather doubt if he or she "own" the publishing or copyright.

Didn't need either of these to realize how useful foam can be. Figured it out myself at Michael's after getting the idea of going there from a video which had no mention of foam. It was as if a light bulb went on in my head.
Unlike this reporter & the guy above, this poor fellow was chumped into paying as much as $11.99 (list, more likely $9.99) for 4 sq. ft. in 2 16"x18" sheets, which are a 1/4 inch thick. Michael's: $1.19 per each 1.5 sq. ft. sheet. They were even cheaper at the Joanne going out o' business sale. Joanne also made them in 9" x 12" sheets, some of which came w/a peel-off adhesive backing I've yet to try. May not be any good. The two mm. thick craft store sheets look much better on a layout, & the craft store sheets come in gray & black (& a mess of other colors) for all concrete or asphalt road, parking lot & industrial area needs, including grade crossings (2:08) above, as opposed to buying them as seen at (19:49).Again, kids, don't get chumped by Woodland Scenics simply because they market to you. Many of their products or an equivalent are available elsewhere & at a "more affordable price point" to use the latest redundant fucking bullshit term for lower price.
Six products & 13 mins. of video (does not include drying time) to make a few inches of road & a grade crossing.These & some Elmer's or two-sided tape are all I'll need.

Scheduled some time ago. Not working at all today. Not even this disclaimer, added Weds.it's actually the story of a large gorilla. You all know the story I'm sure. The gorilla is on an island, eats bananas, has a good time all day long. Plays out there in the bushes and uh, some Americans find out about the gorilla and they hear how big he is, you know. They're very impressed with the size of the beast. So they make it to the island, you know, they check out the gorilla. And they get a thing and they catch him, you know. They catch the gorilla, and they stick him in a boat and they bring him back to the United States. And they show him off to everybody. And they make a bunch of money on the gorilla, and then they kill him.

To wit: Gentrifying parasitic slumlords, squealing rat informers, Nazi police & quack psychiatrists!! That covers 99 44/100ths of you horrid humanoids, as every damn one of you is an informer waiting to happen, whether they force it out of you or you're the extra-weaselly type who just can't wait to pick up the 'phone & drop the proverbial dime on someone.

Plan for Saturday as well. If people buy all the crap they won't buy tomorrow on Saturday it won't dent the pig economy much. As if significant numbers are even aware, let alone willing to call in sick, not to consume or whatever.Thurs. Tune

Now prison guards are being loosed on the general population. Desperation time as the bottom of the barrel is scraped. Most of these sworn thugs are a greater danger to decent people than the vast majority of the 100,000,000 people they pretend they're going to deport.

Checking the envelopes atop the mailboxes I found this:Flipped it over & saw currency! Yes, an actual crisp uncirculated one dollar US bill, straight from the pack. Meant to make the recipient feel obligated to fill out & return the survey. Pew Research sent me a dollar w/ a survey once. Don't remember if I responded.Same reason Reader's Digest sent a penny w/ their subscription solicitations in the '60s. That's some inflation.Going out to blow it on something stupid right now!!

In the name of all that's holy*, what did I watch for this to be offered me? Nothing I can remember.Anyone know what she's talking about? Is this some form of "Jews for Jesus", but don't call him "Jesus"?
I do like her claim that the gummint is Gawd's punishment. Har har har! Gettin' it good & hard, Yankee pig-dogs!!

This one just sat there. 1627.I crossed the street. Still there, 1632.Post-foraging, one of its friends passed in the other direction, at 1648.Be a real shame if the batteries ran down & someone had to go w/o lunch, but this reporter suspects it's full of surveillance equipment tracking all the animals as they go to the watering hole Ralphs.

Vicious looking thug is arrested, after the two coppers went into the McDonald's & then came out looking for him. He didn't appear to resist.Another SUV arrives. Do they get lonely & call their friends, or do they really need two cars & four ossifers to take & keep one poor wretch in custody?

... Is An Organized Mass Murder Machine
So let's get that puppy cranked up & spitting out the bodies!! We start w/ the Nazis, MAGAs, Republicans & other pond scum & move right along to the few, if any non-Nazi corporate types: Off w/ their heads too, corporatism is fascism!! Then the religious morons. No more fairy tales. If you can't live w/o a big book of lies telling you how to live, you shouldn't be living. The slumlords, the managers & bosses, the WATBs, the list is infinite. Then the undifferentiated tissue that comprises the mass of humanity who just take the orders. Cleanse the world & the planet, now!*And the time in the previous decade or so when I typed that I was sick of living & wasn't going to waste the money I'd saved for dentures but was going to buy a gun & start the killing. What a moron. Say you want to or are going to kill someone until you're blue in the face but no one cares, but add the element of how sick & tired you are of living here & now w/ these people & there's no reason at all for anyone's continued existence & they suddenly notice. An entire planet of easily-played sucker-ass chumps. Tell me why you don't all deserve to die painfully.

As good a time as any to go. The Wiki sez Double Barrel was the first album he played on. Well reviewed.
Could go on for hrs., as he & his (predeceased, 2021) musical associate Robbie Shakespeare created hrs. of good stuff. Thanks to both.
