Dodged A Bullet

Posted by Yabu at 08:30 AM

Here in the House of Juju, we’ve had no effects from Earl at all. The county east of us is seeing some of the outermost bands, but we’re cool here. It’s breaking right, so I’m giving a big shout out to the cold front approaching from the northwest, and the high pressure system over the Atlantic. It’s not over by any means, it’s still gonna slink up the seaboard, but its downshifted to second gear. Huge difference between a tropical storm or a low gear hurricane, compared to a Category 3, 4, or 5. I’ve experienced ‘em all…I would also like to thank the powers that be for giving the nation a day off on Monday, in honor of another orbit around the sun for the Juju Woman.

Cool Runnings!!

Remember the couple who sneaked into the White House with no credentials?

They’re still there

The Reality Of Voting

Posted by Yabu at 11:31 AM

I’m not registered in any political party. I vote for the candidate who I believe will be best for the people I care about, and the country. The USA is in big international and domestic trouble. No doubt about it. We’ve got to make some important decisions about our future, and if you don’t vote, you’re part of the problem…just sayin’, if you care, be aware. It is your future, the these mid-terms are VERY important.

From where I’m sitting, at the moment, I believe if the Republicans win big in November, there will be more confidence in the economy. If they take the Senate and the House back, people will have more confidence in our economy…which is what is needed. If the Democrats retain control, the country will continue on a downward spiral which will be catastrophic for all Americans. This is not Rocket Science.

The Mid-Term November elections might be the most important, ever. Might be.

The people need confidence. If you’re not confident, in the end, you will lose.

Slang:

If we don’t snag the Congress and the Senate back from these THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONTROL EVERYTHING left-wing idiots, we’re screwed. We need to tie 0bama’s hands, or we’re all done.

Think about it.

Storm Coming

Posted by Yabu at 12:30 PM

If Earl goes up the east coast it will be bad…if he makes landfall it will be really bad. He is a huge storm. Too early to tell, but it’s gonna be close in my neck of the woods. I’m ready, I think. I’ve got Stretch’s bag packed with his favorite gun and plenty of bullets and food and water and cash and gold. Same is true for the Juju Woman and I. We’re ready to rock. You never know…if my boy Earl jogs a little west…the situation could change…fast. If he goes east…I can unpack.

But then , you never know…might just be a big thunderstorm.

Hey, her name has been changed, and the graphics dropped, to protect her…but she did a good thing.

Thank you!

This is a good thing…took about two years.

Bottom line, they’re gonna use her hair to make a child feel better about themselves.

Change For Sure

Posted by Yabu at 01:40 PM

I hope all of the people who voted for 0Bama and his hope and change bullshit are satisfied. I hope you’ll vote all of ‘em out. Sometimes you have to aim in the right direction. Now is the time.

U.S. auto sales are at a 28 year low. Home sales are way down…real estate is in the tank. The stock market is way down, the unemployment rate is way up, higher than it has been in 26 years. The peoples confidence is him and his mobs ability to make the right decisions for us is changing. If the people on the outside looking in will get in the game, there might be some change. This wait and see lackadaisical attitude, will crash the plane, sink the ship, whatever.

He is systematically destroying America. You, me, and future generations. The more I think about it, the more I believe he’s a Muslim plant. I can’t believe so much damage could be done in such a short time…and he’s not letting up. One thing after another. I’ll tell you…when you see the federal government suing states, you need to be paying close attention, and voting, because if you don’t…all might be lost. Also, our international relations are in the tank. 0bama did this intentionally. Not good. We have so many issues on so many levels…I wonder if our problems are not intentional. I do not trust our government to make decisions for me. No, I do not.

The way I see it, is to vote all these motherfuckers out, and see if we can recover. How much of the damage can be reversed? That is the question.

Without some serious change, we’re fucked. The only way to begin to change anything is to vote…or a full fledged revolution, in which you’ll probably die. I kid you not, people can only take so much.

I hear many people say, “why vote, it won’t make any difference”…I say “you don’t understand what a Constitutional Republic is?, which amazes me that you don’t understand the government of the country you live in.”

You should read some German history from the 1920’s and 30’s. Don’t get me wrong, I have a great deal of respect for Germans, but they got a little off-track once. They were forced or tricked into believing their politicians had their best interests at heart. They were mislead, and we are being mislead.

Sorry, I’m pissed.

Cape Verde Storms

Posted by Yabu at 10:58 AM

Fact is: The hurricanes that most often strike the North Carolina coast, or the Atlantic coast for that matter, develop off the Cape Verde islands, off the coast of Africa…Cape Verde-type hurricanes are those Atlantic storms that develop into tropical storms fairly close to the Cape Verde Islands and then become hurricanes long before reaching the Caribbean. They, more often than not, turn northwest.

They’re usually full tilt boogie.

I’m about 100 miles, as the helicopter flies, from the Atlantic coast. We have many hurricanes in North Carolina, and I’ve experienced steady 90 MPH winds, here in the House of Juju, on several occasions. The Cape Fear area, Wrightsville Beach, and Wilmington usually get creamed. They are ground zero.

They build early on, and roar across the Atlantic, full force, with nothing to stop ‘em, and then slam into the east coast. We never get spanked by one born in the Caribbean…they usually head for the Gulf.

Earl…this is going to be a close one…all you can do is wait and pay close attention, and have a plan. I have a plan. I’ve been through several while on the coast, and I’m telling you, if you don’t have a plan, you could die. If Earl skirts the east coast, as forecast, it will be bad, if it makes landfall it will be worse. All of ‘em are bad, but a CAT 4 or 5 could be catastrophic…even a CAT 3 with a direct hit on populated areas.

From experience, I’m telling you…sometimes Mother Nature can be some Bad Bad Juju.

Anyway, the next few days will be interesting.

The Ant and the Grasshopper

Posted by Yabu at 10:51 AM

In a field one summer’s day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart’s content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest. “Why not come and chat with me,” said the Grasshopper, “instead of toiling and moiling in that way?” “I am helping to lay up food for the winter,” said the Ant, “and recommend you to do the same.” “Why bother about winter?” said the Grasshopper; “We have got plenty of food at present.” But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger – while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew: It is best to prepare for days of need.
