I feel a very very deep connection, identification, reverence and affection for this fellow that mauled my finger yesterday, and would have gladly killed me along with his three companions. He looked like this. There was no malice evident on his face whatsoever. There was Devotion to duty, Devotion to what he had been taught was the right and Noble thing to do. It was clear he would joyfully pay whatever personal price was required to fulfill his mission. He was exhausted running alongside this vehicle for miles. Many times I bashed him in the face with a heavy coffee mug before it fell out of my hands. It didn't faze him in the least. He had a mission to do. Any more than his mauling my finger phased me. I have a mission to complete. From my rearview mirror I think the car that saved me, the truck, that peeled them off the side of my vehicle rather than doing a head-on with me, I heard a thud and I think one of these dogs was hit and I think I saw it lying on the side of the road and only three of them running away. I hope it was this fella. He's been so tortured, may he rest in peace. Respect, cousin.💚💚💚

James, lol. where are you biking to next once you leave Charlotte?

 

Ryan, current plan is West Coast the southern route. Lots of cold, but I'm hoping that there won't be much snow and ice, or too many other dangerous storms, lots of West headwind some of which are extremely dangerous, but we'll manage I think. Khanh Dam is making some more miraculous improvements including increasing battery capacity by 30%, solar capacity by 30%, so I think at 40 miles a day even in the short winter months will have enough energy even for cooking and some stretches of bad weather. You will recall I carry a thousand watt generator, but those things are so dirty that I like to use that only in an emergency and I think his enhancements may make that possible. And as you may have seen in 2 hours he totally changed the seat arrangements so that I have an adjustable back which can be inclined much more forward and for me it's a absolute game changer. I'm almost certain. After 4 years, 40,000 miles, moving the elf is just like, well, ER, riding a bike. And as to the increased battery and solar, I want this rig  to be seen by the sun trip folks unless I decide somehow impossible, or inappropriate, or unkind. This is a really serious Bridge vehicle and I'd like them to see it, I'm even thinking of finding a way to not get in the way but do some or all of the trip unofficially and that could mean a hundred miles a day at 20 or 30 miles an hour and we might have enough capacity to do that now. We'll see.

Unless Greta Thunberg leads a Global hunger strike of people, led by the Young, to the death if necessary, for a Marshall Plan caliber to rescue some livable future for the children and grandchildren of all Humanity. If so, I'll do what I can to go join that day one.

A monkey wrench in some or all of this is after 70 years of incredibly faithful service by lungs are having a lot of problems. They seem to have developed a hypersensitivity to air pollution. Even when the reports are excellent air quality I spend two hours a day coughing up crud out of my lungs. Been going on for a couple of months now. Having a telemedicine call on Tuesday maybe will shed some light on it.

The thought of even a moment of socializing is torture for me. My world....

 The thought of even a moment of socializing is torture for me. My world is filled with unbearable suffering, Palestine, the hell world of your children and grandchildren, millions in prison, billions in poverty.... being separated by idle socializing for even a moment from fighting for those suffering is unbearable Agony to me. Always has been. I think it was the same for Jesus.

The riddle of my magical freshman year solved?

I must avoid enabling those two think that family is their group, as best I can.

Indigenous people are risking everything in the fight against the construction of a pipeline that threatens their sacred water and land.

Hedges: Bless the Traitors

https://scheerpost.com/2021/07/12/hedges-bless-the-traitors/

My child is the human soul. It is near death. That is my concern. That is where my work is. For Joy.

Where the virus of hatred flourishes, loving is killed. Where the virus of loving is sown, hatred recedes. This is the only physics that matters now.

Three choices in our zero sum world: 1. Joy. Live for the neediest. 2. Pleasure, happiness. Starve the neediest of the resources they are dying for. 3. There is no 3.

How best to spread the virus of loving as a way of being? This is my quest. For Joy.

I just donated to Bernie, despite that he will lose, be murdered first, and/or that Dump/GOP Fascists won't leave. But he's the last lesson for a thousand years in goodness.

Does your life tempt others to be more radically good, for the joy of it?

The world is dying for lack of more of MLK Jr in the world. This book was his ignition, his food, his fuel.

And Epiphany last night. The kingdom comes, of universal Brotherhood, as our actions build that. Only that in action makes the possibility of the Kingdom of universal Brotherhood on Earth concrete. Jesus understood this. World of hate has the material advantage of being concrete. LSGIABeing.com by any name is the only way to compete.

There is an escape from this unfolding hell of evil globally. And it is our duty to go there to show the way. It is the infinite Joy and infinite suffering of lsgiabeing.com, by whatever name, or none. Hurry.

Hedges is our greatest living Prophet, as many times James has said. Tragically.... he is a little bit too addicted to his depression tho that is completely understandable. He is 1% wrong in this article, and that 1% is important. It is not without material hope. The Senate could be overturned. A general strike could force him out of office when Sanders wins. Greta could lead the world's children to hunger strike to death unless the world wakes up. No, seriously. Young children willing to die in the Civil Rights Movement were a decisive factor. And more importantly he is 100% wrong in concluding

Just as it can take a thousand years to grow a tree, so it can take hundreds or thousands of years to liberate the human Souls from the prison of civilization. Let's get on with it.
