TREEPOCALYPSE

 

Well, kind of. Two big branches fell from two big pecan trees into the back yard of the Compound, doubtless the victims of climate change and or global warming. I looked at them, hanging and lying on the parched, cracked earth of this part of North Central Texas.

If only we'd paid more tax and made our Illuminati NWO Vizier Satraps even wealthier than they are already. Why then, none of this ecological catastrophe would've happened. As it is, we'll have to get in there with carbon guzzling chainsaws and sort that pecan wood out, maybe tomorrow.

Speaking of Satraps, did you know that in late antiquity the Byzantine authority set up on the Palatine Hill in Rome, in the very palaces of the Emperors. Imagine them, looking out from decayed imperial grandeur on the vast ruin field of what had been a city of a million inhabitants.

Reflecting on this, along with Gregory the Great, Pantheon bronze and the Phocian Column, to say nothing of Justinian and Belisarius, I walked the dog to the Pick 'n Steal through a golden Texan sunset. Beautiful, and I thanked God for it, Providence is quite a thing.

That in mind, hope everyone had a great Labor Day and sang the Internationale unceasingly.

Labor Day

It being Labor Day, I got all Soviet and went to the pool, then took a well deserved nap. Burgers later but first, speaking of Soviets, why is it that so many local Dallas leftists think they'll be better off if they have to pay more taxes?

I hear this a lot when I drive North to DFW where all the leftist hipsters live. 

"We should pay more taxes, LSP."

"Why?"

"Because we'll all, like, benefit."

"So you'll be richer?

"Yeah."

"But you'll have less money to spend on 'artisanal' cheese and wine, stupid."

good call

Less tax, less government, more guns. That's what I say.

Happy Labor Day,

LSP
