I heard the term “hollow” many times while watching Justified and even looked it up to see what it meant, but I did not understand the concept till yesterday when I went with a friend to look at some places in Northern Tennessee.

This was one of the houses in the area: Honest-to-God Old School log cabin, recently remodeled/rebuilt. The location is remote, gorgeous and quiet!  I was amazed at how far voices carry when there is not a constant hum of power lines and modern machinery cluttering the air.  Conversation being held 50 yards away or more, could be heard clearly which I figure is why mountain people are kinda reserved: Some stuff does not need to be heard by others.

Where I went was not off-grid as per survivalists dreams. They have basic services, so even a city boy like me would stay for a long while with too much hardship. But nothing is near, and that includes emergency services. Something happens to you, you better be ready to drive yourself or have somebody take you about 30 mins away to the closest medical unit. I guess you learn what and how much to buy and have so you don’t waste time going back and forth or do without if the weather turns.

It was not a bad place to be for the SHTF moment. Hell, they would need to find the way to get near the Zip Code first.

This is why I need to hit the Lotto and get me a place like that.

As commemoration of yesterday.

True in a way, but not what they want you to think.

LOWVILLE, New York (WWNY) – Lewis County General Hospital will stop delivering babies after September 24 because too many maternity unit workers have resigned over COVID vaccination mandates.

That’s according to Lewis County Health System Chief Executive Officer Gerald Cayer, who held a news conference Friday in Lowville.

He said 6 employees in the maternity unit resigned rather than get a COVID shot and another 7 are undecided.

Wait a week and we will see stories about this hospital shutting basic services because of COVID and the journo du Jour blaming it on the unvaccinated rednecks.

The script is now predictable.

If there was a version of the bloody Khmer Rouge in Latin America, it was Shinning Path with this bloodthirsty psychopath at the helm. He died in prison, on a taxpayer’s bed which is something his victims never got to do.

Since I can’t find a photo of his corrupt dead body, I will cherish this other image from back after he was arrested and shown to the Media. Perhaps the best Perp Walk ever.

Caged like the animal he was.

Good riddance.

I am painfully aware that my rifle skills are between zero and the guy in Africa wearing a floating device shooting the AK 47 sideways from the hip. I made the decision to go ahead and go to an Appleseed event and finally learn the basics of shooting a rifle.

And I love Tennessee. There are 4 Appleseed events next month and two are an hour or less from home. There is so much shooting stuff here that I am going crazy trying to decide what to do.

I’ll give you guys the AAR when the time comes. And no, I am not expecting to come with the patch my first time around.

One officer was injured but by strikes because dumb ass critter’s gun jammed and he had to use it as impact weapon. None of the deputies were shot. And yes, dreadlock boy is no longer contributing to global warming with his CO2 emanations.

Lessons learned: Shit happens like this (finger snap) and also, make sure your firearm works properly.

And I admit the mag dump was rather nice.

Reason? Not fear of  the “highly transmittable-risking-our-children’s-health-we-all-are-gonna-die”  Covid.

Highly treatable with proven vaccination measles qualify for a full cessation of flights? And the horrible mass killing Covid does not?  Tell me again we are not bein Kabuki-ed to slavery and death.

This also shows that there is no sensible plan on how to process the evacuees as they arrive to CONUS. Hell, I believe that the strategy is “Fly ’em in, dump ’em and show them the way to the Social Security Office in the morning.”
