End of the world, just around the corner...

I am not a scientist, but was watching a demonstration of the effect of cellphones on honey bees, and they were dying so badly - compared to honey bees a foot away without cellphones. Now I don't believe all the cellphone users in the world are hunting honey bees, but they are being attacked by the constant bombardment of the GPS satellites.

According to Albert Einstein, our very existence is inextricably linked to bees - he is reputed to have said: "If the bee disappears off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left." is a quote used much, and it helps if four years from now the Mayans, Einstein and William Earl Dungey have said it is over, we blew it and we had our chance. The Road by Cormac McCarthy is worth reading but not worth looking forward to living as... a minor character, there will be no major characters.

I was naked today - which in ancient terms meaning unarmed - when Sir Lancelot was caught with Queen Guinevere, naked (without his sword) and had to borrow the sword and armor of the first knight he killed coming through the door. So I was visiting the doctor for my checkup and not carrying pistol, knives nor tools - I was so defenseless. But my weight was fine, the blood pressure great and the vein found and blood flowed freely - into the vials anyway. Too much LDL, 177, others are in the box, that terrible box. I was warned by the Pharmacy that my new improved medication may cause upset stomach, adjustments, and if I have strange muscle pains to report it to my doctor - oh, and get some Liver enzymes done in six weeks. I asked if it was necessary to attack my liver, I only have one, but they don't look at it that way. Kind of like shaving a little excess from the door to make it no longer stick... and after great training days my muscles always talk to me... since Junior High football practice.

As I was wandering the streets without a police escort, personal body guards or my personal weapons I thought about how I was going to take on and out my attackers - Jeff Cooper had a thing about awareness and the need to know which situation one was in, so you are prepared - and I was going through combinations and take downs and outs that I never got from watching movies. It was an interesting exercise, but futile, no one came at me. After all I am just a harmless older man. Back home, knives everywhere, pistols and rifles, ammunition and hot coffee, hot shower and a soft bed to sleep in - the world isn't going to end today, but when they come for my piece of pie I will be so upset. I wonder how the honey bees feel felled.
