As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I was thinking about Mike Cernovich and his evac plan with the wife and Perjews, which is like most of you, in what I experienced this morning.
So I was begging our walk and the neighbor was coming with the tractor, so I had to get the cat off the road and then there was this pick up just putzing along to annoy me.
Finally it appeared and I could see it was some landscape thing on the side, and I figured it was some jazzbos out of the county. It finally hit me as Ole and Sven were talking that I had two Minnesotans, out state Minnesotans on my hands and their had traveled the distance to go hunting. Why in hell they just didn't piss in South Dakota or shit in North Dakota I do not know, but here they were conversing like I wanted to talk with them.
What they said stunned me, as they were so lost, I think they thought they were in South Dakota. They started off looking for Jezebel, not the one in the Bible, but the one not on the map. I said, "That is way over there", pointing in a close direction.
Then they said, "Isn't Jezebel by Last Stand?", like they knew where they were. I said, "No Last Stand is 10 miles that direction", and pointed west. They were lost and if this was GPS, they were too smart for maps apparently as they admitted they were a bit turned around.
I told them, "Look, you know the highway there? That loops around this way. On the far side you got an interstate and down south you got a US Highway, so you can't get lost as this is a box."
They seemed to get that.
They wanted to know if they would get to where they were going on the my road, so I told them, "You go five miles south, and you cross a paved road. Then you keep going until you hit a major highway, where a distribution center sits. Take a left and that will get you into town. Take a right there, heading south and when you hit a main road again, you take a right and that should get you to Jezebel".
I thought about it after they left in it would get them to another town, but they probably ended up in New Mexico just heading south.
I had an in law Uncle that my asshole Uncle once gave directions to. The asshole said, you go north on the highway, until you see a big tree, it is the only one on the highway, you turn there and that is where we live. If you go past the curve you went to far.
Now mind you asshole's sister, who is Stage IV was raised in the Brier, so it was not like the occupants were all virgins in that car. Well the short of it was, the in law ended up 12 miles further west, lost, phoning and not knowing where they were. How the fuck you can miss a 60 foot tree, 50 feet wide is something I just do not get.
So I have new insights into the way people will flee for their lives. They will get lost, mind you, they will get the general location, like 50 miles off, whether this is GPS to confuse the Chinese and Russians or it is what it is, people though just are not men of the Badlands anymore.
The Plainsmen and Mountain Men were pretty good at finding their way. George Custer was a genius at it. Colonel Dodge was too, Teddy Roosevelt was no slouch either. You just pay attention to the flow of the land and where you are. I hate trees, but you can still see if you get a notion of where the water is running when it is running. People now though, have all these signs, highways and shit and they still can't find their ass with both hands.
I have got turned around, but I have never been lost. In open country where I can see, I can't get lost as you can always figure out where you are, by natural and man made things make it simple.
I honestly have a time finding Bugsy's house and I have been there, but since some electric wires were put up, hell I can find him like a dog on a bird trail in I always know where them line are turning and going.
At night, you can see the glow of all them towns for 50 miles. You simply can not get lost if you have half a brain and some reason. I'm not good if I'm riding with someone as I do not pay attention. Otherwise I keep things in the know. TL is allot better in the Brier now in not looking for highway signs and just paying attention to the lay of the land and markers, which is how normal people out in the middle of nowhere mark things.
I smiled as I was talking to a line crew last year, and he was asking me where we lived. I told him and he thought a bit and then said, "Oh you are that house in all them trees". Yeah for a person who hates forests, I never cut a tree down that God planted and we got a pretty good forest around us now in all directions.
So the way I see it, all of these preppers are going to be lost and then begging locals for directions which won't make sense as locals lie and they will get lost worse. Seriously if you can't find your way in open rural country in the easy find it is now, you ain't gonna be worth a damn.
Last example, TL's worthless damn family intruded here twice. For some Goddamn reason they got it in their heads that the address is where we lived. I mean they thought the city was were we lived and not the Brier. They bee lined both times for that shit hole and were asking around for TL, like he wears a skirt and serves drinks in the bar. It was just a matter of the locals wondering who the fuck those odd people were.
......and even with all the shit refugees moving into the hinterlands, make no mistake in the locals know if you belong or not. Amusing story in I was getting gas the other day, later got the horn blew at me as I pulled out with room by some asshole, but this guy with a black diesel pick up pulls up behind me and I'm not paying attention, and I hear him yell, "You Goddamn keep sitting there and you're going to get your ass run over'.
I thought the diesel guy knew them, but hell now, it was Nig from Texas with some Crackers behind them with tags from Kentucky. Well at least they didn't get shot at, but all the same, people are getting Vax testy it seems and the vaxed and unvaxed are not getting along, as people keep moving into spaces like they own the space.
Me I'm always helpful, even smile at Mexicans.........I just say afterwards, "Keep driving you son of a bitch".
You people really have no idea what the hell is out there in America. It is more gang than that shit on the metro streets and they do it without the gangs.
Nuff Said
