"From Where I Sit"

      

The Plague.. There I said it.. I seem to remember thinking or saying, when you can't breath the air what's the point of being here.. You are probably thinking, you have got to put your mask on before you read this. Putting on a Surgeon's mask to go outside to get some fresh air is absolutely insane.. Wait.. All this mask stuff is important to some people.. I'm going to go as far as saying if you are unhealthy for any reason by all means, wear the Surgeons mask.. In my case, yes I'm an old man but I'm very healthy..There was a time I went to the Doctor for regular check ups. The last time I went she told me no more appointments and to call if I wasn't well.... I don't remember when it was that I had a cold.. I haven't had a Cold or a Flu shot for at least 10 years. However I do have really bad Spring Allergy's. Hey, nobody's perfect.. Why don't you get sick, is what you are thinking? Well, I haven't had a drink of Alcohol in 42 years. I haven't smoked a cigarette in 20 years and I have been a Vegetarian for 10 years.. In other words I have very good resistance to what ever is going on out there. I've seen the types of people who are getting sick.. I feel really bad for them..

"Windsor Locks Memory Test"

 You don't have to answer the questions. Its just to make you think... Memory test.. How many people knew there was a Bidwell's Brick Yard in Windsor Locks on North St. across from Logan's Appliance Store. I don't remember Mr. Bidwell's first name.. Yes, there was an Appliance store.. Later Frank Logan moved his store. Do you know where?  I do.. Richard and his brother Robert Tambussi were the lumber yard Kings. What was their Father's Name? His first name was, you guess and yes I knew him well..I worked at the Lumber yard for 3 years... How about that Paul Bunyan statue in front of the lumber Yard? What happened to that? Was Bidwell a King also? Where was Bidwell's lumber yard? At the bottom of what one way street? I think "at that point in time" there was only one.. Always wanted to say that...
  
        Where was the original Terminal at Bradley, the one the Army Air Force built? Yes, there was an Army Air Force. Did you know there was a grass swimming pool at bottom end of Whiten St. Before the cement one on top of the hill. I remember when they built that one.. Was really a big deal then..
       Behind the Italian Progressive club on Suffield St. there was huge water tank on stilts (the only way to describe it) My Dad said when he was a kid he climbed it and wrapped (his words) his legs around the ball on top.. What a way to set an example. I thought about it but never did it.. I put (with help of coarse) the three lights on top of the mountain in East Granby.. They were longer than usual telephone poles with lights on top.. I maintained those lights and all the beacons and towers at all the State owned airports climbing the towers and poles for maintenance and changing the lamps. I guess climbing towers and poles runs in the family..
         There was also a USO on Spring St. Do you know where that was? Do you know what USO means? Did you know there was WAC's (Woman's Army Corp) barracks in Windsor Locks? Yes there was.. I started working at Bradley when the Control Tower was, do you know where? I do..

P.S. The picture is of the Trolley Car Trestle and when we were kids walked out to the end of it where it was broken.. Do you know who owned the property that bordered the trestle? I do...

"On This Day in American History"

 Bet you didn't know this...

             On May 19, 1964, U.S. officials disclose the discovery of more than 40 hidden microphones inside the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The snooping devices, which were installed on floors where sensitive conversations were held, were likely to have been installed deep inside the walls when the embassy was leased to the U.S. in 1953. In response, the U.S. issued a strong protest to the Soviet government.

Freedom?

I do believe the virus is real but there is more going on, our freedoms are being taken away and people are just letting it happen..                
You think it’s about health. If you’re so sure, read this.“During the Holocaust, they convinced people to put their families on trains (for their own good/safety) so they could be taken to a "safe place". We all know the result of that. Have you ever heard of history repeating itself? I watched in horror as the police in China hauled a woman by both arms and both legs, shoved her in a van, and took her to a "camp" for COVID victims. We'll never know what happened to those people. And with what's taking place right here in our own country, don't think for one second that it couldn't happen here. We the people have proven just how quickly the government can take over all aspects of our lives. We complied based on fear tactics..........some of which are very untrue, and magnified/sensationalized to get you on that "train". Please read. It's for the good of our country.

Mark Levin is a very smart lawyer who worked in government during the Reagan administration. He knows his law.
- MARK LEVIN: "To be clear. President Trump hasn't shut a single business. The Governors did."
"We are seeing the most draconian measures ENFORCED at some STATE & LOCAL LEVELS of government that we've ever seen in our lifetimes, and yet, rather than being alarmed by the things going on, so many of you applaud.
President Trump's guidelines are VOLUNTARY & TEMPORARY but some Democrat states & cities are taking it one step further, extending the lock down and CRIMINALIZING behavior. Bill Gates wants to keep America locked down for 10 months! THAT'S WHAT LIVING UNDER A COMMUNIST REGIME LOOKS LIKE, AND YOU APPLAUD.
People are being arrested in some states for spending too much time outside, and you applaud.
Pastors are being arrested in some states for daring to hold church services, and you applaud.
A child's birthday party is raided by police, and you applaud.
A young woman is ticketed for going on a leisurely drive alone because it's deemed "non-essential travel", and you applaud.
A father is handcuffed & arrested in an empty park for playing softball with his 6-year-old daughter & refusing to turn over his ID, and you applaud.
A lone paddle boarder in the ocean on a beach without any other people around is arrested because he's violating quarantine orders, and you applaud.
Businesses are being forcibly closed and padlocked and owners arrested for refusing to shut down, and you applaud.
Dairy farmers are being incentivized to stop dairy farming and to sell their herds, and you don't seem to understand the implications.
You're being told to use hotlines and online forms provided by your local governments to report your neighbors who don't obey, and you comply.
You scold people day after day for not obeying government edicts, and if any of us dare to question what's happening, you lecture about how we're a danger to society and we just don't care about people dying.
You've somehow managed to convince yourselves that the people whose lives are affected by a virus are MUCH more important than the people whose lives are being destroyed (and in many cases, leading to death) by the effects of a worldwide economic shutdown and impending worldwide depression the likes of which no one has ever seen before.
At what point will you start QUESTIONING what's going on?
At what point will you ask how the virus got here from China?
At what point will you question why the fake news keeps defending the Communists?
How far do you have to be pushed before you're jolted awake from your slumber? How far are you willing to go with this?
If they told you to load your families onto train cars so that you could be taken to Virus Protection Facilities for your own safety, would you do it?
YES. Yes, you would.
That much has become painfully obvious to me. And the whole time, you'd be shaking your finger and yelling at those of us who refused, accusing us of being "a danger to society" and "not caring if people die."But they don't have to load you onto train cars and take you to Virus Protection Facilities, or force you to comply, because you do that voluntarily.
The fake news controls your mind. They control you through fear. They control you by convincing you that the world is a scary dangerous place, but they're here to protect you, care for you, and keep you safe, just as long as you OBEY.
They know that as long as you're locked inside your comfortable home with Netflix, Hulu, CNN, NBC, ABC, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and a cell phone, you'll comply. No force is necessary for the majority of the herd.
Bill Gates even wants to mandate antibody tests. ONLY those who are immune from VIRUSES will be allowed to leave their homes & work. YOU ARE IMPRISONED, willingly, and you're too blind to see it."
I will not be blinded!
I will not be controlled by the government!
