I went to assist my Mother on Monday, she had outpatient surgery. I have stayed with her for three days and two nights. Her daughters were not available and I guess since I am retired, I was the logical choice.

In that short period of time, my Mom, along with the rest of my siblings, her friends and neighbors, have no clue about what society is experiencing.... none. The state: Tennessee.

Despite what you may hear on the news about the crackdown on Tennessee, no one wears a mask in her town. The surgery center did not wear masks, the grocery stores, the pharmacy, the church or any of the people. None of my family watches the news. They look at the weather or watch parts of the local news, but other than that, nothing.

Half of them are too busy mowing the fields, tending to their gardens, canning or helping out a neighbor to even turn on the TV. It is a whole different world in her town. It is as if time is standing still.

They have a "sense" of what is happening, but refuse to participate. There is no fear or any anger. They are very dependent on their faith with a "God is in control" attitude. They have active devotional with their morning coffee and at night before they retire. They focus on the good and to service of their community. I don't know how to explain it, but it is as if there is a blanket of protection over them.

It was quite a nice vacation to experience this other life, which still exists, before covid. Just thought I would share. I can't help but wonder, now that I am back home, if the great awakening, poal, and the hundreds of other alt sites aren't filled with instigators and shills in order to keep everyone paralyzed, angry and stuck? And to not have the news or Tucker on, was a needed break.

Take care of yourselves and your families. We are all getting older, we never know how much time we have left to spend with each other. Focus on the good and always, thank God for his provisions.

DING DING DING. We have a winner! Remember that cheesy 80s movie War games? "The only way to win is NOT to play". Go about YOUR business. Keep YOUR corner of the World in good shape. Help each other, help animals, visit the elderly, read to the blind etc. They can play their fucking BS games all they want for their "power" the ONE thing they CANNOT stop (and it GALLS them) is the human spirit. Or just plain spirit if you prefer. They CAN blow the place up tomorrow no doubt that STILL will not erase the GOOD done by people. They can take us all off the board tomorrow by any means necessary. The GOOD we do reverberates LONG after we've gone. OR to quote Burgess Meredith in The Obsolete Man...."If I speak one thought aloud, that thought LIVES. Even after I'm shoveled into my grave." So do our deeds good and bad. GOOD for your Mother and all the people around her who KNOW a game is going on yet refuse to sit in and get fleeced!

Yes, It opened my eyes and taught me a lesson in spending one on one time with people. It is amazing how this town cooperates with each other. How close they all are. It is truly an unwritten, but understood, social contract.

Just FYI: There was a BBQ stand, preparing, cooking and selling right outside of Krogers. A mutual agreement to bring in folks to both places. I talked to the cook for 15 minutes and the ribs were to die for, gave me an few extra ribs for free.

Inside the surgery center waiting room was full of people without masks talking to each other. None had Iphones staring at the screens. There was fresh coffee for non-patients and each addressed the other with yes ma'me or yes sir. Felt like a 50's movie. There was alot of joking and laughing and story telling. A few had a newspaper by the Epoch Times. Others had puzzle books and there was no TV.
