Is this my time?

INDY!! 

And another earthquake hit this side of Elgin about 18 miles to the west of me...the second in as many weeks....and we had pouring rain all night and 40mph winds that brought down a dead pine in my back dog run area and it landed on the wire fence.  SO I was out trying to saw it up...got the fence back up...but was not feeling well enough to saw up the tree only made enough cuts to get it off the fence.  Maybe tomorrow the wind won't be blowing and I can try to do more. The dang tree is 15 inches in diameter. AND my chain saw is not doing well I think I bent the blade when trying to cut that oak that Ive been burning all fall.  

I am not feeling well and the way it's going I may not last out this year!! I don't know that I mentioned it but I came down with a dry tickle of a cough about 3 months ago.  I had no clue and figured it would go away... it came about the time the itchy rash came so I thought its related to some sort of residual of covid, or some other virus or a new allergy...

BUT now I'm beginning to think it's heart related. See I have known for a while that I have A-Fib, I was told that I had a heart murmur when I was about 47 yrs old.  So when  I asked what can be done for that and was told Open Heart Surgery new heart valve I said NO way...won't even do the test..

SO now it's like this I noticed I get tired very easy....and that is not like me, I could work like a mule all day and never get so tired now I have to quit.  And I noticed if I carry something heavy I get short of breath and I get that A-Fib skip of a beat...so putting all this together, 

Fatigue, arm and leg weakness, skipped beats and flutter, elevated BP, and now the dry cough...ITS heart failure!! My heart is not pumping the blood thru each chamber as it should.  I get dyspnea.

Today trying to move that log off the fence...I felt awful.  Lately since the cough has come I just have no stamina at all.  

So NO cure for that heart transplant? No way Im too old for such I do need to be on a diuretic, and probably a beta blocker...I would need an  Echocardiogram to be diagnosed.  I thought they did one back in 2015 when I had the heart cath done?? I was told I had a tiny block in one vessel no problem, did not need to be stented.  But I went in complaining of irregular heart beat.  He adjusted my thyroid meds and did a catherization test, and basically told me all was within range for my age, and he said he found no arrhythmia I wore one of those monitors for a week it never stayed on right and right away it came loose I put it back on and added tape, and still they said it was normal...YET I had experienced many episodes of A-Fib.  So I take Aspirin. 

I could be wrong but it sure seems to fit.  

I figure I can die one of 3 ways.  I can die in a hospital, in my bed, or out living my life. 

We may be in for...

ILD TIMES AHEAD?

I was made aware of some earthquake activity in CA overnight...

That link takes you to some of the reports...and my sister told me, that someone told her that all the geysers in Yellowstone went off at the same time I could not verify that...so not sure that really happened.  But the Earthquake activity was real.  Imagine the Earth cracking in half?  I can see it now...the conservatives on Earth Right and the Liberals on Earth Left...That may not be such a bad thing. ha!

The oppressive heat on the west coast along with the many fires burning  is making life there very hazardous.  What if suddenly we are not bombarded by a few thousand people escaping poverty and violence at our Southern border, but with Millions of American's fleeing the Western USA? Now that could be a real problem,  that would be an immediate cataclysmic human disaster.  

It's really hot here too and the numbers may look ok, it's getting into the mid 90's but factor in the humidity...the heat index and it really is very warm.   Without air conditioning in the East and especially the Southeast people would be dying daily from heat related problems.  That is a human disaster waiting to happen if the grid goes down.  Body temp of 104 F and brain damage can occur.  

So if all the people flee the west they will head northeast is my thinking trying to get to the water of the Great Lakes and the coolness of the north...I don't think many will want to come Southeast. The people of the Southeast will flood to the coastal areas to try and stay cool with ocean breezes. 

And on those same lines, if I lived in Afghanistan I would be leaving NOW! Just get out, if they are not going to defend the country then just let it go.  The USA did all they could and they honestly should never have gone in there.  The extremism of the RIGHT is exploding around the world...if we are not going to fight it then we just need to move ON let them have the land, with no people to exploit and control that will kill their fire. 

It was another Vietnam, if  you're not going to really seriously lay them flat then what is the purpose... just keep shooting over each others heads? That is not what kills ideology.  I AM not a fan of war, don't start a  war and most especially if you are not serious...I see a bunch of hoodlums in pick up trucks with ground to air weapons??  I think Obama had the right idea of using drones to take out as many of the militants as possible. 

 
Soon what's happening in Afghanistan  will happen here in the USA...the hoodlums on the right have already started to say they intended to set their militia on destroying the left to get Trump back in.  Why has Trump not been arrested for inciting that riot?  Why is the left playing tiddlywinks with the right? Mark a line in the sand or just go home. 

AND why? What good did he do them...they still work down at the slaughter house, live in a trailer park, drink themselves to sleep each night, and die of covid....what did he do in the 4 yrs he had? JOBS were lost, the economy went in the tank, the unrest grew, the only ones who benefited was his family and the 1% who ride rockets in the air so they can float for 4 mins. OKAY then.  

Trump went to the border in TX why hasn't he gone to the building that fell to the ground in FL? Why didn't he offer any financial help to families, why? And yet his rally goers are going to send him money so he can sue Twitter, Facebook, and Google...he had never even read the first amendment. 
Meanwhile in TX the democrats walked out of the session in Congress to prevent a vote that takes away Voters Rights...

Cubans finally saying We've had enough of this BS! Finally. 

I'm in Apocalyptical thinking mode today.
