The Travelers Far Away

Don't worry. We will soon be getting to the Destination.

But just for now, let us spare a thought for those who are travelers far from home.

What is 'home' for a human?

They seem so comfortable where they are. Humans.

Ordinary humans have technology too,
you know!
And it's pretty good!

I guess I should just explain to those newcomers to these pages, that most of the rest of us - those who have been here from the beginning - are disaffected virtual retirees from some pretty esoteric parts of 'officialdom.' At least half a dozen of you are managers (still) of modest-scale (what would it be, several hundred million USD now?) pension funds 'somewhere' probably wise not to disclose that small detail these days, seeing how the China people are intent on dumping their US Treasuries. By 'virtual' we would have to say, as the commercial manager of one 'Anna Chapman' told me one time 'not yet ready for retirement...' LOL

Actually from memory I think he said to me 'does not yet feel ready for retirement.'

He means I guess if there were an exciting proposition, well...

Some of you (the troop who have long been here) are talking internally about these 'A915-Q7K4'-type designates, and that there is a recurring theme of something really bad going to happen by year's end.

As you know though, the Spencer, Virginia 'unincorporated community' 'Monroe Institute' stuff is 'crypto-nomenklatura' for actual operatives; active ones. Now, there's some left-field 'tin foil hat' and conspiracy theory stuff for the newcomers.

Do truffles work with Ramen noodles?
Oh yes. 
Crazy Rich Asian 'Ramen Noodles.'

So every time you see some casual reference to 'remote viewers' take care to note where these guys are being represented as hailing from who are said to be giving any heads up. 

California RVs are different to Virginia 'target watchers.'

'Really bad' to the 'off label' community is quite a different thing to the people living in the regular community.

Because 'really bad' is what we already have. The narrative going on is that a significant Cesium-137 release or similar could eventuate and then that would be really bad.

Actual 'really bad' is if and when the China people decide to dump Treasuries floridly in order to destroy the mainstream markets in the West, and via that to underscore the fundamental internal economic collapse that is already able to be witnessed domestically in Berkeley SF and a lot of down-town LA too. Forget about Cleveland! And those kinds of other already zombified places.

'If' and/or 'when.'

The crazy rich Beijing China pseudo 'middle class' punks haven't as yet worked out where the actual best wines are. They are still enthralled by the nonsense talk about the 'First Growths' and the 'Grand Cru' names and all of this garbage.

I spoke to someone just back from Paris earlier today. Not good, boys and girls. Angry people, arrogant ignorant older people, lots of homeless 'foreigners.' 

And this other guy I was listening to - China guy, but from Canada (lol! Might as well have been another loser from Singapore) - oh god, what was he saying: 'rich, almost black fruit, still tight, walnuts, plums, spice...' I forget.

Champagne and syrup shaved ice.

Where the heck was the 'and tastes like grape?'

The best wine tastes like grapes. It smells like the fruit of grape-vines. It looks like the skin-color of particular grapes.

And the grapes will be the most healthy examples of the particular varietal fruit of the wine in question. They could be small like some Pinot Noir grapes, or they could be almost raisins like the Botrytis affected grapes for those kinds of sweet white (actually gold or yellow or amber) wines, or they could be big and plump and firm like the big dark blue grapes that make the best Shiraz.

It all starts with the fruit. And it proceeds with the big shallow vats and then the best quality oak barrels over many years -, not with some urgency to get the Two-Year Old to the track kind of classless mentality. And in the end, it is still about the fruit.

No fruit, no wine.

No heart, no home.

Got it yet...?

I might have traveled 6 light years (or I might not have; I'm just saying!), but I never left my heart 'back' behind anywhere. How far away from your heart has the contemporary world sucked you into going?
