The Post Tsunami Is My Specialty It Seems

I Wrote a whole Post and deleted it coz it wasn't relevant, just rambling and got pretty Deep in the Weeds as well.  *LOL*   I can get very engrossed in Statistical Data, since, that's my Jam, but I realize it's banal to most folks, so, I spared you.  *Winks*   In my Corporate Lives it was important, often vital, in Retirement, it can be Helpful, but not as important really.  Just force of habit to Track Statistics and Data compiled, assess it, then use it for my own Purposes I find to be beneficial.  Everything folks do leaves Clues, tracking that Data reveals a lot.  Anyway, so I go down Rabbit Holes with Stats sometimes to see where it leads me and what it Informs me of?  I got Deep into those Weeds, very Deep.   I would have Lost most of you, there's a Possibility I still might?   It happens... *LOL*

But now I've Surfaced again and deleted my Thoughts on what I Wrote about my Findings.  *Ha ha ha*  And Statistically speaking, even tho' The Land Of Blog's Heyday is long over, there's still roughly about 500-600 of you Daily showing up and spending your Precious Time here visiting me.  Which I do Value and Appreciate.  So, I try to make a decent effort with what I Post and Share.  Sometimes I even Succeed.  *Winks*  Hey, who doesn't like an Audience to Entertain, Right?   And now that I am not as Self-Centered a Blogger as I used to be, back when I didn't even think anyone would show up, now that you do, I try to be Mindful it's not All About Me now.  *Bwahahaha*  

 I can be in my own Bubble sometimes otherwise, and seem unaware anyone else Exists and is Present in my Orbit.  So, I do have to, On Purpose, resist doing things exclusively for my own benefit and consider everyone else from time to time here.  *LOL*  My Stream of Consciousness is way out there and I'm Aware it is, managing that can be challenging to attempt to contain it and be more Editorial and Considerate.  *Winks*  The Post Tsunami is my Specialty it seems.  *Bwahahaha*   

• An arrival or occurrence of something in overwhelming quantities or amounts.

  "a tsunami of data pours into the CNBC newsroom {or Dawn's Blog} every minute of every trading day"

Yep, AI's Definition pretty much nails it.  *Winks*

The Young Prince called again and talked to everyone for a very long time, even Mando, who they don't even know.  *LOL*  It's so Rare and so I knew there might be a new Medication being taken, and, there was.  It's Prescription being taken for The Seizures, but, it's also Helpful for the Schizophrenia apparently, and the severe Headaches.  All The Young Prince could tell me about it off the Cuff, is that it's small and Square, and it's Working.  It might be Topiramate?   Anyway, it's Helpful with Relationships too so they're doing better with Allen now as well, which is good to hear, since, Allen is still the present Caregiver for now and it's therefore important to be able for them both to get along and play well with one another.  No more intentional or unintentional Triggering, Allen has Learned that important Lesson the Hard Way.  *Winks* 

 Fortunately The Young Prince would rather Self-Harm than ever Harm other folks, or Engage at all when Bullied, but, don't Test 'them', depending on which Alter you get, it's risky to.   Allen took the Risk one too many times it seems and since that Ass whipping he no longer feels the Need to try to be the Alpha Dominant Male in the Relationship, even tho' he's the much Bigger and Visually Muscular Stronger looking Guy.  A Small but very Crazy Person can still hand you your Ass, it's important to know and Wise to remember.  *Winks*   So, The Young Prince said things are going better and each call lately has had more Good News than Bad, but, they were worried about Grandpa, so I brought them up to Speed, they had a Right to know.  I won't keep someone out of the Loop just becoz they're fragile Mentally, becoz that can backfire if they feel omission of important information, for any reason, wasn't the Right or Fair reason for not being told.  It was unanimous, that Bee likely Saved Dad/Grandpa's Life.

Above is the Acai Sorbet Bowl I've become rather Addicted to lately.  They have it at my Gym's Cafe' and on several Specialty Restaurant's Menu now as Lighter Fare, it's very refreshing when it's Crazy Hot Outside.   It's the Dish I was eating when the other Old Lady tried to make Nice at the Gym's Cafe' during Senior Social Time, asked me about it and ordered the same thing then sat down at the Table next to me.  *Smiles*  But, I felt All Friended Up at that Moment in Time.  I have too much going on to meet and know New People in Person and have any Social Interrogations about swapping Life Situations, at a Gym.  *LOL*   She seemed to know everyone already showing up, which was too many People for Moi, so I Exited Stage Left.  So, she didn't need any New Friends by the looks of it, and thus, I didn't feel bad being Stoic and just Cordially Polite but disinterested in Engaging further.  I got on my Phone's Social Media Check-In, so she wouldn't Talk to me anymore, and just made a Graceful Polite Exit once done with my Food. *Winks and Smiles*

Listen, isn't it Modern Etiquette if someone is on their Phone, to NOT interrupt them, especially if you don't even Know them?  *LOL*  I found Reading a Book doesn't Work as well, coz then folks start asking you about the damned Book!  *Le Sigh and Snort*   So, yeah, tho' I'm mos def NOT a Phone Person at all, and rarely take mine out to even be on it, often accidentally on purpose leaving it at Home so the Kid's don't have a Leash on me or keeping blowing up my Phone with Calls, I do Use it to my Anti-Social Advantage sometimes when I don't wanna Engage with Peopling.  *Smiles*  I'm very Sociable at times, and not opposed to Talking to people I don't know, but I like my Alone Time too and Guard it.   And, not everyone is someone I might connect with and it becomes obvious to me right away, so I won't waste their time or mine acting like we might.  *LOL*

For example, I'm rather enjoying having the House all to myself this Morning and it's dead quiet, no TV on, no Sound, no People, it's Peaceful and Restorative to have Silence sometimes.  A lot of folks seem quite uncomfortable with Silence and think they need to fill it every Second with Sound.   I'm not one of those folks.  *Smiles*   And so when The Daughter just came in and put a load of Clothes in the Dryer, now it disturbed my Calm and Silence I was enjoying... dammit!!!   This Home is pretty soundproof being it's built similar to our Historic Home, with Organic Materials which Insulate Sound and Temperatures.  This one is built of thick Burnt Adobe Brick that's about 8-10 Inches thick for the Exterior Walls.  The Historic Home was built of Petrified Railroad Ties that had hardened with Age like Petrified Wood, and actual Rocks, with 14-16 Inch thick Exterior and Interior Walls. 

When we owned the Villa McManse, tho' it had been originally a Million Dollar Plus Modern Build, it was flimsy by comparison in what it had been built of, Stick and Stucco, which isn't at all Soundproof or as Insulated.  I didn't like it, I didn't like hearing my Neighbors having Phone Conversations Outside and I could hear not only their part of the Conversation thru my Walls, but whoever the Person on the other Line was too!   It was ridiculously obtrusive after having lived in Historic or Vintage Homes.   Modern Homes are also built too close together, I didn't ever like the high density living either.  I like having Acreage around me and the Privacy and Natural Beauty it affords.   Once you get used to that you don't want to settle for less.   And now I don't have to either.  *Smiles*

I was out feeding the Wild Birds at their Feeding Station, which usually is The Man's Chore to do, tho' he often has to be reminded Daily or he thinks he did it, and it could have been Days ago.  It's almost all Doves of various types that come, and they get Spoiled enuf that if you forget, they bang against the Windows to remind you.  *LOL*  They are very Spoiled Wild Birds, to be sure, and I'm responsible for that.  *Winks*  One got so comfortable around us she built her Nest on the Ground under our Bushes in front of the Art Studio and Raised her Two Babies there!!!   With Humans walking by Daily, didn't seem to bother her or her Spawn!   That's how Tamed they sometimes get to behaving if they Learn to Trust you some.  

 We get a lot of Birds Nesting in our Mature Trees as well.  And for a few Years we had a Mama Hummingbird Nest on our Back Patio in the Ring of a Hanging Wind Chime and Raise 3 Generations of her Babies there, building Two Nests there!  They only Live 3-5 Years and only use a Nest Two Years in a Row, so I think she spent her whole Breeding Life on our Back Porch.   There's a lot of Hummingbirds becoz we have Lantana Bushes, Aloe, and Queen's Wreath Vines that Flower constantly and provide Natural Nectar... and Gnats, which hover over the Pastures sometimes and they eat those too.   We don't have Livestock but almost all the Neighbors do, so, you do get what is attracted to Farm Animals.  I don't mind it coz I Love having Farm Animals in the Community right in the Middle of a Big City, best of both Worlds and quite bucolic.  Alfred the Goat gets wound up sometimes, but that's hilarious!  *Smiles*

One Neighbor used to Raise Peacocks but I don't think he does anymore, I wanted Peacocks, but The Man doesn't like their Haunting Cry.  They make good Watch-Animals tho' and are prettier than a Goose or a Dog for Security.  *Smiles*   Their loud vocalizations and Territorial Nature make Peacocks effective Watch Animals when they perceive Danger or Intrusions.  It's why most Big Estates in Arizona had them actually and some of the existing Historic Estates still have the Ancestors of those original Peacocks living on the Estate.   You need more than one tho' or they could suffer from Stress and Loneliness.   They will keep your Property relatively Bug free since they are excellent foragers tho'... and they will eat Snakes and Mice too.   So, I still would like a couple... but Neighbors might take issue with their Haunting Calls too, so, I'm on the Fence about it still.  I don't wanna have regrets about Welcoming a Living Thing to our Home and realize, it wasn't a Good Idea.

Even tho' August will be my Birthday Month, what with the Crazy High Utility Bill I'm paying off, and having the Termite Prevention Treatment Done, I'll be Tapped Financially for the whole Month... Ugh.   So, August won't be a very indulgent Month at all.  *Le Sigh*   And, no telling what our Insurances won't pick up of The Man's recent Hospitalization and Surgeries either, so I'm bracing for that possible "Surprise"?!   TriCare is notorious for not always picking up what Medicare Advantage doesn't, even if Medicare paid the bulk of whatever it was that you required.  Our Advantage Plan via United Healthcare has been very good tho', no complaints about them, but TriCare, which is the Federally provided one for Military Retirees and Veterans, is often The Devil and notoriously known for Non-Payment and stiffing Providers, so, many won't even take it anymore.   Now that the Base and the VA Hospital often don't have Specialists or even a Hospital on Base anymore, you have to go straight Civilian most of the time now.  Budget Cuts are not "New" for Military Personnel and their Needs or "Earned" Benefits being eroded constantly or just eliminated entirely.

And it's not a Partisan Issue really, all of them pretend to Care about our Military and their Families, few have walked the walk to back up all their talk tho'.   Political Theater is what most Veterans or Active Duty are "Used" for as a mere Prop, as far as most Politicians are concerned.   It's why they're having a difficult time now recruiting Young People to join the Military voluntarily, there's very little benefit to it and a whole lotta risk and personal Sacrifice.   And when you go on Base you see mostly Minority Recruits and the Poorer joining, anyone with Opportunities and Privilege galore chooses some other Career Path now, not Serving their Country or Defending it.   That's not "New" either, the Poor have always been the ones Sacrificed during the Wars the Rich start and Wage, they don't send their Kids to risk their Lives for Serving America or Defending it.  Most Rich Kids got Deferments even when we had The Draft.

   And a lot of Immigrant's Children have Served with Honor, even those of Illegal Immigrant Parents.   I've known many of them in fact.   They Love America enuf to Serve and Sacrifice for it!!!   Most don't take the benefits of living here for Granted.  And so Yeah I get Angry and Annoyed when some Americans vilify Immigrants with a broad brush stroke as if Immigrants haven't contributed much and added Value to America, becoz various Generations of them always have, however they came here.  A lot of America has been Built off their Backs of their Labor and their Sweat and Toil of doing the dirtier and harder Jobs in fact.   The Vilifiers tend to fixate on the smaller percentage of Criminals who may have been Born elsewhere, but let us be clear, there are far more Home Grown Criminals among us, so, let's not have such Selective Fear Mongering or Outrage going on. 

  Even Domestic Terrorism is a bigger Threat now than Foreign Terrorism in America.  We have more American Extremist factions than ever before willing to do Violence for their twisted Causes and many are of White Supremacist Origin now.  Syndicated Crime Rings come in all Demographics, Colors, Shapes and Sizes.   Most Organized Crime and Gang activities center around trafficking of Drugs and Humans.   And it's not just relegated to the Marginalized of Society either, we're seeing firsthand now how even our Federal Government has been covering up Trafficking being done by Influential and Affluent segments of our Society who owe a lot of their Wealth to Criminal Activities that have gone on for Decades and not been properly Investigated. 

 And it's not like nobody "Knew".  The whole Epstein Scandal goes way, way back, where the Feds were notified by Victims in the 1990's of who should be Investigated and wasn't, or Sweetheart Deals were made. Including with Epstein coz Powerful People were deeply involved in Human Trafficking, often of underage Victims, and so he was never Stopped even tho' he went right back to Business as Usual and Victimized Children DAILY for Decades and Sold them to his Upscale Pedo and other Sexually deviant Clients!!!  It's about Time it blew up.  Long fucking overdue.  But, what irks me is the Focus isn't where it should be, on the Victims and how all this is still Negatively impacting them and putting them at greater Risk again.   To Name Names of Powerful Influential People who have much to Lose is dangerous ground for any Victim or Witness to have to Hold.   I know many Believe Epstein committed Suicide, I never bought that whole Story with so many Holes you could drive a Semi thru it, and I'm no Conspiracy Theorists, but... so many Questions, so few credible Answers.  

 And it was so dropped like a Rock after he couldn't Talk anymore and was Silenced, whether by his own Hands, or not, conveniently never making it to Trial to have any Discovery.   And Why his Female Procurer and Equal Partner in the Crimes is still Alive, that's Interesting as well.  What's in it for her now if she Talks, even if whatever she says isn't at all Credible since she perjured herself and caught Charges on Lying in Court already.   She was Mute during her Trial, now all of a sudden, when she could get Presidential Favor and perhaps a reduced Sentence or a Pardon by a Corrupt President who is being Eyeballed now as he is also known to be an adjudicated Sex Offender too, she wants to Talk?!   Very Interesting.  It's sketchy as fuck how the Administration is going about it to try to quash the whole Pandora's Box Opened by themselves and promised to their Base as part of an Election Strategy that has now backfired terribly.

Do I think his Cult Base really Cares about the Victims, or Children involved, or potential Fresh Victims becoz only Epstein and Maxwell were sidelined for Trafficking Humans, especially underaged ones for Sexual exploitation by the obscenely Wealthy?    I doubt it, THEY Feel Betrayed and so it's more all about them really.   And those Clients just went somewhere else coz a Sex Offender always re-offends, it's not a matter of IF they will, just WHEN they will once the opportunity presents itself.  That's why their Files are kept Forever and never Purged at the DA's Office.   Even Homicide Files are Purged eventually, unless it's a Serial Killer's File and usually they are also almost ALWAYS a Sex Offender as well as a prolific Murderer.   And they also tend to choose their Victims with Care, to Victimize those Society places least Value upon, coz they know most folks won't fucking Care if it's a Prostitute, a Person in Crisis or previously Victimized already, a disadvantaged Child, or a Marginalized Minority due to Race or Sexual Orientation.

Thank You for Indulging me in that Rant, it just pisses me off, a LOT.   Any Survivor of an Assault knows it stays with you for a Lifetime, it is a Life Sentence to be Victimized like that.   And to allow anyone to get away with it is unconscionable.  To cover it up is Complicit in the Crimes, no matter who they are Protecting from Prosecution and it being revealed they are a Sexual Deviant and a Predator with Victims they have harmed and more Victims they will surely harm if not locked up and stopped.   I don't Care how many Famous or High Up in Politics or Business someone is, if they've committed those Crimes they need to be Exposed for what they are and what they've done, and be held accountable, Period.  It's not Political and the Politicizing of it is really too much of a Focus for far too many.  So long as their Side does something they're Okay with it, or so it seems.   Since, so many knowingly Elected a Sexual Predator, not once, but Twice... which speaks Volumes about their own Moral Compass and Ethics being pretty fucked up and Corrupted.
