Could you have had a platonic relationship before Plato?

Six days later----
We can finally get out of the driveway--
Go somewhere if we want to or need to?
Snow is piled sky-high everywhere in my yard because of shoveling--
There is nowhere left to put snow that had to be moved..

I have no concept of how long this piled snow shit will take to melt?
Right now I cannot seem to remember what the ground looks like?
I worked out math-wise that I moved over 
18,000 lbs. of snow--4800 cubic feet
in shoveling the driveway alone...

Wet snow can weigh up to 20 lbs. per shovel full,
 this shit was wet--then turned to big chunks of ice.
It had to be shoveled and lifted--it couldn't just be pushed to
an open area, there was no open area.
I was working out the weight transfer in cubic feet & average lift weight
in my head while shoveling--

Working the math behind what you are doing,
while you are doing it,
--does not make the thing you are doing fucking easier--

Doing the math while shoveling simply reinforces the fact
that it is a wonderment that we don't all fall over dead while shoveling snow.

I haven't left the homestead since the storm--?
This week tho--I am planning on getting out for
coffee and lunch with friends..if i still have any?

have become completely addicted to those
conspiracy documentaries on streaming?
I sit and watch them late at night, chain smoking in the kitchen?

These shows are so so so fucking weird. 
Absolutely no entertainment value at all--but I sit fascinated.
Weirder still are the people interviewed..who claim to have found some
strange shit or another...

Ranking out at ultimate bizarro levels are the shows supposed experts.
The conspiracy talking heads...

Since i have watched these shit shows for awhile now---
 I can finished their experts excuses as to 
why there is no proof to anything these guys are saying
 before they even start making excuses...!
I find myself nodding in agreement that everything is a cover up!

The featured subjects on these kind of shows range from---

Bigfoot to Aliens to reptile people to Atlantis to Bible mysteries to ancient ruins,
to the search for the Holy Grail--

to Egyptian pyramids to Mayan pyramids to King Solomon's mines..
to the lost Dutchman mine,

 to secret societies like the Knight's Templar,
the Masons, the Illuminati, the deep government---

to buried treasure, lost treasure, sunken treasure,Nazi treasure,

religious treasures, Aztec treasure and pirate treasure---

I seem to be able to binge watch any & all of these stupid fucking shows?

It is nice to sort of turn my brain off, allowing myself
to wonder if there really are Nazi-reptile-pyramid building-
treasure hiding, 
aliens living on the moon?

So the mondo strange Bundy militia 

is at it again?

Don't these freedom fighters have jobs to go to?

This time the armed weekend warriors for freedom have taken over

 a Federal camp-ground at a bird sanctuary in no-fucking-where Oregon?

For reasons no one seems to understand?

Especially the locals?

People like this don't really know what they are mad about,

they just want to be mad and find an excuse..

Which does make some of them dangerous...

But

It's cold there--

They are out in the middle of bum-fuck nothing playing revolutionary

luckily they've built their play fort where they can't hurt anyone else.

These guys are just lost souls...

They want to be the great warriors they pretend to be?
They talk about how tough and willing to die they are for their principles?
It's just tough to play last stand for 
principles which nobody apparently can figure the fuck out?

A real-life benefit of this current militia freak show is
that they are their own worst enemies.
This incident has caused the world to realize what clowns these guys actually are
and instead of society being concerned and outraged,
 the world is laughing.
 Without a doubt these right wing, religious wacks are not only freezing
but worse they are probably massively depressed 
over the names the web has been calling their group.
To list a few of the funnier nicknames--
Ya'llQaeda
yeehwdi's
Fort Freedumb
&
VanillaISIS
My personal favorite term that turned up on the web
is Meal Team 6.

Apparently even dumber than we think they are---

The freedom fighters put out a call on the Net for people to send them boxes of
supplies so the occupation of this remote, Federal park, bird watching
sanctuary can continue to be held in the fight for um--freedom... 
but--
This has sort of backfired as well in that,
liberal websites are sending them care packages filled with
gay lube, condoms, instant Quiche Lorraine as well as books
supporting gay marriage and women's liberation...

Hey Bubba--did y'all order this shit?????

In all actuality things are working out perfectly...
The Feds are just letting these guys sit in the snow--
ignoring them--a very, very, smart move--
 they want the law to fuck with them.

If the Feds attack or arrest them it proves their validity as oppressed freedom fighters,

as compared to the clowns that they are.

It's smart to simply ignore them and

let them sit and freeze while the rest of the world makes fun at their expense
and hopefully laughter this time costs them what respect they might have had
and cause potential members to stop and think about becoming a laughingstock. 
Humor may even cause some of their followers to figure out what assholes 
they really have been and quit this kind of shit
and go home?
Laughing at these people is the most effective punishment we could ever devise...
laughter hurts them and their stupid causes the most---

In route--Cyberpunk from the late 1980's.
