Hey guys... Just figured I'd let you know I haven't dropped off the face of the Earth. Kinda hectic around here as we ramp up for the school year...
Later.

A couple of hours ago receive a hard knock on the door. I answered the door and about 7 or 8 agents all flashing badges (claiming to be FBI and/or CIA) rushed me and pushed me against the far wall.
My dog attacked and they would have shot him had I not broken free for a second and covered him by laying him on the floor beneath me.
After things calmed down a bit and I received assurances that nothing would happen to him if I placed him in the bedroom and closed the door.
I did so and they then read me my rights and explained that my opinions expressed on Free Republic were the reason they were there. I had expressed my opinion of what I thought of the current President and the majority in congress and was therefore a potential threat to the government. After what seemed to be hours they came to the conclusion (I hope) that I was merely expressing my opinion and not a leader of a counter revolutionary army - as they saw it.
They searched my apartment for weapons and found 4 (which I have not fired in over a year or more) and they seized them for testing. My dog (Ranger) was not happy with the situation so I had to hold on to him during the search to keep him from being shot.
They also seized my computer and downloaded my entire files system. I suppose they also copied any files erased by normal erasure techniques. They returned the computer as "WAS" (as far as I can tell) but I after careful consideration the past few hours I have concluded that they are monitoring me closely.
I'm not even sure this message will make it through but what else can I do but try?
If (Big IF!) this does make it through, beware. They are watching and may make a visit to your residence and give your the same routine.
It really shook me up and I have trouble keeping my nerves steady and my thoughts straight as I write this message.
Once this gets out (IF THIS GETS OUT) I can pretty much expect their return but this time they probably won't be quite as considerate of myself and my dog who they will probably shoot on sight.
I have packed my truck with essentials but I suspect that there are those that are watching so I may not make it to one of my favorite mountain camping sites.
There I will not have any communications except when I get into town and use WIFI to make any contact.
Good luck and keep your heads down.
They have become serious about enforcing their new powers - and some of us might not make it.
I'll probably be #1 on their list.
Semper Fi and God Bless one and all.

Golly.
I hardly know where to jump into this conversation. It seems beyond me at all levels today.
In lighter (I think) news, I dreamed of sionnsar last night, and he was a very happy guy. He said he missed everyone, but preferred to stay where he was! LOL!
He has been on my mind, so this dream/timing is not surprising.
We live in a Flying Castle, but we don’t pay
“rent” because we own it. We all work to make sure it functions at its optimum on all Levels and in all Habitats.
We RULE!
Well, lots of amateur acting, anyway. Kabuki theater with SEC filings.
I think it's more like they end up living in flying castles, and demanding that WE pay their rent. At least, that's the view from my pay stub.

Kewl! Who’s yer bud?
Obviously someone with a bit of “fire in the belly”.
Or someone who is wearing turpentine shorts...
Ticketty-boo, Undead FRiends and those with a pulse. Back from the maternal-fetal specialist (por las mujeres encintas viejas, as I told the church ladies). The new little FReeper, expected ‘long about the end of January, has no visible health issues on the Level 2 ultrasound scan, and it’s a girl!
Certain teenage boys are fluffing their perfect hair in disdain, but they can just go away to college, can’t they. Sally is thrilled, which makes two of us. (The byos wouldn’t understand unless I produced an egg and buried it under a mound of leaves.)
Well, I declare! A girl! Whodathunkit?
*smirk-smirk*
I was hoping for a Hector. Oh well.
I am so thrilled! A little baby girl! I am so happy for you and I am glad that the ultrasound is A-okay. The end of January is a great time! You are done with all the holiday work and the baby will be bigger for the Spring and Summer months! Congratulations!!!!
I guess now I can say...”YES!” Another Tax Chicklette!
Something pink is already in the making. :o])
Congratulations.
Wait, they didn’t get it when Frank The New Guy showed up to begin his apprenticeship?
Seriously guys?
*grumble grumble*
Okay, tell them from the top..
“Once upon a time there was a daddy rabbitoid and a mommy rabbitoid...”
Congratulations!
You thunkit. DP thought it was a Brother, but the ultrasound tech and the doctor both said a girl, and they were real sure.
You can try to sell your dad on “Andromache.”
Well, if I’da been yer neighbor, i coulda tol’ ya long ago!
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
