Much to report later, but after an exhaustive search I have found THE person to write the National Anthem of Afscootistan! All Hail, Afscootistan!
SIDETRACK: In so much as this is a mobile country, I considered renaming it Scootvanistan, LOVED that since my name is capped and in front. But decided against it for 1 reason.
What if I get a larger RV? Then it becomes Scootmotorhomeistan. Clunky!
Anyhow...view this girl's work. This tune is about the surrounds of Camp Scooter SouthEast. Not shot here, but you'll get it.
Enjoy! And, oh yeah....
ALL HAIL AFSCOOTISTAN!

THAT'S IT! I am starting my own damn country!
Announcing the nation of:
Afscootistan! All Hail, Afscootistan!
Really, things are becoming a pretty big mess. The economy is tanking like a mafioso in cement shoes. Racial tensions are rising in the Heartland of all places. Prices going through the roof. Massive outbreaks of heavily sweating folks due to stolen A.C. Units for their scrap value.
P.U.! It ALL stinks!
Here's an example:
To yours truly, God's Perfect food is The Hot Dog. It's shape near perfection, and it's tastes heavenly! But only ALL BEEF tube steaks count. I love dead cow!
My favs are Sabrett, Bests, Oscar Meyer ANGUS (only! The other O.M. varieties suck), Shofar, and Hebrew National.
Here at The Home Of Falling Prices, the HebeNats, as I nicknamed them, were $2.50 for any of the varieties. OVERNIGHT the price went to $3.98!!! Now you may ask, was the former price an "On Sale" situation?
Answer: NO! And I can't imagine deceased bovine would increase THAT much THAT soon. But it did. It was that price for months. To their credit, Walmart has tried to keep prices stable. It's been mostly milk that reflected what is going on day to day.
SIDETRACK: Here is where Walmart doesn't get it! WHOLE MILK! The carrott crunchers and food fascists can demean whole milk all they want to. Skim is like poison, 1 and 2 percent bovine juice is the equivalent to self indulging instead of having a significant other in your company.
When I go in to get a quart or half gallon, all I see left are the pale imitations of the Vitamin D bomb I seek. Bowing to demented dietitians and that creep that Ryan Seacrest has pimping asparagus and not cupcakes to school kids, Walmart over buys the inferior versions of said healthy liquid.
Phooey! This will never happen in Afscootistan.
All Hail, Afscootistan.
Really, this regime...er...eh...Presidency is a disaster in all things. Don't see the connections?
Years ago in the 70's when all this EPA crap started, the Arab nations decided to make oil a weapon against the USA because of our support of Israel. What followed were gas lines, odd/even rationing, and rising prices. The EPA role was the regs and rules they began to impose on drilling/refining oil and vehicle mileage minimums.
Supply and demand. This is an economy, not based on Gold, but based on Oil. Energy is EVERYTHING to the nations well being and growth. The EPA starts choking off supply with a demand that keeps growing, and you have the rise of gasoline..heating oil...diesel...etc.
That was under Nixon.
Then comes along Jimmy Carter who used to be the worst president in history.
(Barry Huseamus O'Bama now owns that distinction.) He and his uber liberal, progressive pals start over taxing and controlling oil as well as most everything else. The EPA gained more and more power over drilling and producing oil and it's natural gas cousins, thus increasing costs and, ultimately, end user cash outlay.
The economy was tanking. Inflation hit absurd heights, mortgage interest rates were in the double digits. There was a word for all this: Malaise.
Not much different than what we experience today, except the the progressives have had decades to figure out their mistakes and perfect our national destruction.
At this, Barry Huseamus O'Bama excels. Well, actually I don't think he's all that bright. He is the public face, the marionette, for the puppet masters behind the scenes. Pay close attention to him when the teleprompter is absent.
It's embarrassing.
Take the B.P. debacle a couple of years ago. An offshore drilling rig winds up with a hole in the ocean floor that is really, really hard to plug. So hard that at one point they were using human hair as part of a compound to try to seal it.
In response, O'Bama does a couple of things:
A. Stops La. Governor Bobby Jindal from taking the steps necessary to limit the impact, both economical and environmental, on his state. This guy got boots on the ground himself trying to stem the disaster headed his way. O'Bama, with the power and force of the Federal Government in his pocket, got in Jindall's way every chance they had! This is all well documented in his book "Leadership And Crisis" and news reporting at that time.
B. Shut down ALL the oil rigs, period. Thousands lose jobs, millions of barrels or oil left unpumped. Gas prices rise as an astonishing rate. As of this posting, I am paying just over a dollar more per gallon than this time, last year.
SCOFFLAW SIDETRACK: The O'Bama Adminstration has been ordered TWICE to lift the ban on offshore oil collection by a Federal Judge. Basically, this guy is thumbing his nose at the law. Try using that defense next time you don't pay a moving violation money grab!
Oil, as I said, drives everything...literally. The diesel for the trucks, trains, ships, etc. that deliver and is taxed. The natural gas that powers Electric Plants that power fuel pumps, store lighting and refrigeration, that is taxed.
You get the idea.
Solar Power, you say, is the answer? Go ask Spain!
Their ill fated foray into that alternative is an economic disaster! Read further:
"For every green job created, according to the review, 2.2 jobs in other industries were lost, the direct result of the rising costs of energy. Spanish firms pay 17 per cent more than the EU average for power and Spanish citizens five per cent more."
"Despite accounting for 53 per cent of the additional costs of electricity in Spain, solar power produces just 11 per cent of the power generated in the country."

We already have plenty of negative growth industries and opportunities here, thank you. Don't need no stinking Solar Panels!
In Afscootistan...
Oil Is King!
Hot Dogs Are The Official Food
Milk Is Whole Or Nothing At All
All Hail, Afscootistan!
Enough for today. I have a Constitution to write, National Anthem to compose, and a flag to design.
Laterz.....

LET'S BE HONEST, HE IS MOCHA AT BEST
Barry Huseamus O'Bama
As you may know from here and my prior blog, I have a very active interest in most things political. And nothing get's my blood boiling than our current Amateur In Chief, the so called 1st Black President.
The progressives use that distinction to call any criticism of Obama "racist". However, as Ann Coulter correctly observed some time back, he is a "Halfrican-American". White momma with a black baby daddy. Thus when I point out his flaws and my massive dislike of his reign, I am addressing the White half.
On Twitter I use the hashtag #Hawaii_dbl_wide
Look at his last name for example: O'Bama. It could be McBama for that matter. Truth be told, he is much more white than black. One need only see who his influences are.
Saul Alinsky
Noam Chomsky
Cass Sunstein
Andy Stern
George Soros
Bill Ayers
Ok...so he went to a church led by The Rev. Jeremiah "G-D DAMN AMERICA" Wright who is black. But O'Bama says he never heard what Wright had to say, so that influence is moot. Not only that, but Barry threw this guy under the bus during the Persidential Campaign!
I guess one could say that Barry O'Bama is a whiter President than Bill Clinton, the REAL 1st "Black" President....or at least was called that during his term in office.
I'll have more to say about this in later postings, but wanted to get my "perspective" out there for now.

BACKSTORY
Back in 1995 when the una-ex and I separated, I lived in The Conversion Van Of Wonders for a fair bit of time. Thing was, I didn't want to get an apartment lease, nor spend a lot on hotel rooms.
I had hoped we could reconcile.
So much for hope.
Anyhow...I am driving through the middle of Pennsylvania in the middle of the night when the cruise control stops working. The last thing I needed was downtime for a repair. So I stroked the dashboard and told "her" that I had no time to stop for a fixin' and "she" needed to get the cruise back up and running.
It ran until about 2 years ago. This vehicle loved me when no other thing, aside from my kids, would. I told "her" and anyone who would listen I would NEVER sell her and I wanted to be buried in her when my time came to ascend to my condo with a view and Triple Play FiOS. My sons knew these instructions well as did "she".
CURRENT EVENTS
Yesterday I went to look at an full blown RV that was this same model, only a 1989 version. That year the vehicle was a fair bit longer. Inside was a shower, kitchen, bathroom, etc. EVERYTHING I need for a "home"!
Total of 45K on the vehicle and 20K on a new engine.
I really want this thing. And as I was expressing that to it's current owner I noted that I would want to cannibalize some parts of "her" for a slightly older "her". And honestly, when I said this I do so in a whisper. I really didn't want to be.....overheard.
He and I left it with me saying I would try to fund-raise and would get back to him. My mistake was saying ONE thing in a normal voice:
"I want my front grill on this other one. It have pics of it on my first blog"
When I went to start "her" up, the process seemed a little labored. I chalked it up to the battery needing to be charged. "She" has what is called a "Parasitic Draw", meaning something drains the battery constantly and if the engine is not run regularly, the battery goes dead. This is a new Deep Cell and it had to be jump started that morning.
Little did I know......
I arrive at Camp Scooter SouthEast and settle in for a bit. My habit is to pull in up to where I will unload the generator and then get into my usual spot. This part went o.k.
However, I decided I want to be a bit further back from the generator and went to start the car. Turned the key and....
nothing
Tried again.....
nothing
Once more....
nothing
The Starter is kaput. I am dead in the water. No el move-o.
I pissed "her" off!
"She" at least let me get into the Camp and then said....ummmm....
"You can kiss my bumper!"
Now your humble narrator is without transport and stuck in Camp Scooter SouthEast until I can get a transplant for my dear "girl".
Moral to this tale is.....
"A female is a female no matter the form, and always beware, a woman scorned!"
I just made that up! HA!
Until next time....

*cough*
I have been really sick! So sick that this whatever it is should be against the law. So sick that the first bastard to get this should be jailed for not setting himself on fire to stop the spread!
I wanted to go to services this morning and then have a motorhome to look at. Guess what? Never moved from at all.
I do have some catching up to do here. I decided to revive the other blog and use that to whine about being in a van, regardless that it is The Conversion Van Of Wonders. This one will be simple musings about stuff...people I meet...my opinions and thoughts about things...yadda yadda yadda.
Watched "The Voice" on HuLu last night and I have to say that the Shelton guy is brilliant! He would make a helluva music producer. He has insight and instincts that Simon Cowell would have sex with Randy Jackson to have!
I have only watched 2 episodes and last night was the Christina vrs. Blake. Here's what I saw:
Christina is annoying and trying to turn her girls into ...well...her.
The group number is perfect evidence of what I mean. She was La Star and her girls her posse.
When Blake's team came forward, he set it up as their venue..their moment to shine together..popping in only towards the end of the song.
The guy reminds me of Trace Adkins on "The Celebrity Apprentice". Gets'r done with class.
The 2 guys on Blake's team don't do much for me, but the girls...both headed to BIG careers!
Dia Frampton....the next Norah Jones! This girl is stunning!
Xenia...where did this girl come from??? Only 17 and her voice...so "smoky"...in tenor and tone.
I was impressed overall by Blake and these 2 girls. Kinda stopped me in my tracks!
What I am grateful for is The Fairy Godmother who granted Woody's (from the "Toy Story" movies) wish and made him into a REAL boy. Not sure why he changed his name after that to Carson Daly, though.
But I digress....
I am working on getting my head clear and stuff outta the way. I know I need to address why I am still stuck here...what's the latest with the Obama Guy....and I have a new "Director's Cut" with and alternate ending to the post directly below to finish.
Thanks for hanging in there and please, encourage all yer pals to visit. I'd like to get my hit numbers up and from all over the country.
Laterz....
