OK---
It's hot here in New Mexico this summer--
I realize you are probably thinking---Well---Duh--
But
It's hotter than the normal New Mexico hot as hell.
The afternoon's have been running at 104-105 degrees F
for over a week now and will supposedly continue.
Luckily, being retired I can call it quits outside at about
1100 hrs or 95 degrees as we call that time, to spend the afternoons
indoors in the A/C for old-ass protection.
Otherwise its--
Because of splendid spring weather we had
and from what i am told the recent extreme heat.
We are under attack by waves of mice this summer.
This is another thing that is outside of the norm
for us--sure a few mice now and then
but not the hordes that we have had this summer.
We have trapped and disposed of probably 30 mice--luckily all outside,
or our in our sheds.
Thank God none in the house--as of yet anyway.
We even found a mouse hole the little bastards chewed through
the wall of the shed....?
The amazing thing to me was that it was just fucking identical to
the mouse holes you would see in a cartoon when you were a kid.
You know--? The Tom and Jerry mouse hole?????
I stood there staring at the cartoon mouse hole dumbfounded and amazed...!
Our basic rule with nature is if bugs, and animals stay out of our way
we leave them alone....we stay out of their way....
We don't fuck with nature--
fucking with nature is how
the vast majority of rednecks die, horribly and in pain.
This mice attack has definitely been out of bounds on their part.
We are fighting them off--but i have to admit this winter
if this horde is still around,
when the cold arrives it could drive the mice inside--
which is what we are trying to prevent.
This is a place I stumbled onto perusing the web..
THE ATOMIC WAREHOUSE
Check out the stuff they find---
In route---
A history of US intelligence overflights of the Soviet Union
in the 50's-60's and 70's.
Before Satellite surveillance American aircraft
would race across Russia taking photographs,
chased by Soviet fighters and often shot-down.
Classified for years.

Otherwise its--
I actually got hammered by the heat the other day--
a first for me--Dizzy, nauseous, exhausted--
it took me the rest of the day to recover.
This incident was scary---
Because
at my age you think anything that goes wrong with you--
even the pain from stubbing your toe,
is, of course, a stroke!
Anything that results in what can be classified as a weird feeling after 60 years old
ignites the "stroke warning" siren in your head..
Anyway I got over it---
This entire discussion on the recent heat is for no purpose other than
trying to feel better through bitching...!

The road to hell, as we all know, is paved with
good intentions.
Real Murican's have risen to the challenge--
of repaving every mile of that road--
of repaving every mile of that road--
by guarding recruitment stations against
possible terrorist attacks.
That is, until one of these loons cranked off a round
out in front of the recruitment station he was guarding
sort of defeating the whole purpose of making
these places safe for other real Murican's
They were finally chased off by the real Government after this negligent discharge.
Reviewing these photo's taken of the Spartan-like
volunteer guards at recruitment facilities tells a story doesn't it...
From combat sandals and junk food residue to

the guy below in the Murican flag jumpsuit
sitting in a fucking hover chair???
Note the well armed homeless looking dude by the door,
is he a guard or a suspect?
I especially enjoy the stripper in the office chair missing a day of pole dancing
to do her duty as a real Merican!
I guess part of the protection plan was that possible Muslim terrorists
would get so excited shoving dollar bills in her G-string
they would forget the whole attack thing--?

Could we possibly get any more dumb shit as a country??
At least somebody had the class to duct-tape the flag up
and bring their hot-hot-hot-armed girlfriend with them..
Bambi could suntan and defend military recruitment all at the same time...
A government employee running a clandestine meth lab
in a government building at the Institute of Standards and Technology,
blows himself and part of the building up cooking meth????
Just in writing these words I am actually thinking:
I have finished my most recent
project the 1/72 British Arvo Vulcan.
It makes up into a beautiful aircraft.
It would be hard to dispute that the Arvo Vulcan
was the most beautiful aircraft of all time--compare it to a B-52 of the same time frame
and there is just no contest---

I painted my Vulcan in 1960's
Nuclear Anti-Flash white,
This paint scheme was intended to protect the aircraft and crew from the flash and heat
of a low level nuclear bomb drop.

I am still working on airfield ground support equipment for the Vulcan's display board.
Since this last model turned out fairly well (to me anyway)
I will be continuing on model building indoors during the
extremely hot, summer New Mexico, afternoons with a
1/72 TU-95 Soviet Bear, turbo-prop nuclear bomber.
This is a huge kit in 1/72 scale and very complicated,
but it builds into an awesome aircraft.
The Tu-95 was the aircraft displayed when
the US wished to portray the Soviet Union as the
threatening evil empire--
The Praying Mantis
of nuclear bombers.

A good choice since the Tu-95
is a truly bad bad-ass aircraft--The Praying Mantis

We watched 4 episodes of this small town, UFO-conspiracy
streaming TV show---called Granite Flats--
and then found out--
it's created by the Mormons!!!!
Since when was there a Mormon TV channel
creating and making UFO TV shows???
Did I miss something very important regarding television while I was asleep?
