Backyard chickens, bad Seattle weather, Chickens not laying, disturbing art, Greener buttons

This morning I am Harrumphing.  We had just awful weather yesterday. Rain ,hail and high winds.  I hung out in the studio during the storm and cleaned up  because I didn't do it after the last show.   Then I matted a few things.  I found two piles of paintings that need to be finished.  One set I quit working on because they gave everybody the creeps and high weirdness ensued.  But I am ready to finish them now. Another one I thought was finished but when I pulled it out I saw that it needed 'something'. Now to figure out what. 
I spent a good portion of the day watching the chickens out the window. They foraged all the way thought the hail and jumped and grumbled every time the wind blew their feathers up. But in the end even they gave up and went to bed early.  They are hardy and stubborn.  But no one laid yesterday.  This weird weather is messing with their little chicken hormones.  I should be getting 2 dozen  eggs a week from them by now but I'm barely getting one.  Jimmy is ecstatic over the 1.  During their molting time we were using store bought eggs.  Bleecchhhh. Pale anaemic things that smell stinky. And I even sprung for the  expensive  'free range' eggs.  Jimmy thinks this year we should dig a hole to store 'our' eggs in.... like days of old, so we don't have to turn to commercial egg producers in the winter. He might be right. I suggested we just get a second smaller fridge for the garage.  He gave me the stinkeye and said 'that's not environmentally sustainable.'  I really hate it when he pushes the  'greener' buttons to get his own way.

Former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer UFO disclosure Video, Stargate, Retro engineered technolgy, 60 years of cover up, Who is really in charge, An invitaion to Alien Visitors to start a dialogue

Uhhmmmm...... I don't know what I think about  this.  This is from the UFO Congress in Arizona  this past weekend.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezNXdfB14co&feature=player_embedded

I mean.......... this is a former Canadian Defence Minister outing  the  UFO  cover-up.
My second thought? Yeah ....right, yabetcha, uh-huh. (I know I started with the second...the first will be at the bottom of the page)
Third  thought? Who is this guy?   Yeah I know who he is supposed be. But just because someone was a high level politician ..... even in our gentle neighboring Canada.... Doesn't  give them credibility in my  world.   Cuz its been my experience that ALL.....ALL......ALL......ALL  politicians are self serving liars who will say whatever they need to to achieve the action items on their own personal agendas.
Next thought?  Check Amazon for books he might be writing to support a lifestyle to which he has become accustomed. http://www.amazon.com/Light-End-Tunnel-Survival-Species/dp/1449076122/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298995259&sr=8-1

Next thought? Why was the entire Video  focused on the United States cover up?  Are Aliens only landing in the US?  Why hasn't Canada taken these Aliens up on their offer of help?  Have the visitors never Contacted the Mexican, Chinese or Russian Governments?
Do the Aliens not know about TV? CNN,FOX,NBC,ABC, for Chrise Sakes!  NWCN, KOMO  and KING here in Seattle would have these guys on the Air faster than their ships can travel. TWITTER, Facebook?  Cable Access? 
Also on the video.... we are using their own technology to shoot them down?  How very Stargate of us!
And we have retro-engineered spacecraft  that we fight them with? How very Stargate of us!
Retro-engineered Alien-lite technologies are being implemented in the private sector?  How very Stargate of us!
Then there is the government within the US government that actually controls what goes on in this country...... Duh!.... not much of a revelation there.
I watched the video a few times looking for tell-tale body language or vocal inflection that would indicate he was obviouslyy lying.  Didn't catch anything.... But then he is an OLD practiced politician and was reading from a prepared speech.
But he has to be lying....right?........right?
There's no such  thing as Aliens,  functional spaceships,  fairies, elves, ghosts or swamp monsters!  Right?.....Right?
You all know of course that this blog rant is entirely due to my first and strongest thought...... A former Canadian DEFENCE Minister is saying this? OH S### !   What if he is not lying?   What if the telling of the truth is a means to achieve his personal goals (not completely unheard of).  If he is telling the truth?  What next?

IF he is telling the truth..... Here is my response.

Dear Alien Visitors,
Please do not judge the populace of this planet  or country by our elected and unelected  leaders. They are assholes!  Please begin a dialogue with the ordinary  working people who do most of the living and dying in this world. A good many of us are not morons or assholes.  A good many of us would be willing  to work with you at a street level to avert disaster.  If you would like to barter with us for  tools, technology and reasonable support , we will begin implementing changes very quietly in our neighborhoods and communities.  We The People  would like the opportunity to change the path we are on.  An opportunity that is currently being denied to us by our government, the military industrial complex and global corporatism.  If you would like to meet and discuss this  .... I invite you to come to my house on Saturday, March 12th  2011 at 7:00 PM.  I recommend using the back door for privacy reasons.  After our meeting I will have fresh eggs, homemade wine, homemade Pluot Jam and fresh brussel sprouts for you to take back to the ship with you. Looking Forward to meeting you!
Sincerely Yours,
Frankie

Prophet Frankie hath spoken, Astrology update March 2011, Astro update, Sun in Pisces, Saturn/Jupiter opposition

I've had a few emails from folks this last week or so wanting to know why they feel so  'blah', 'blech', 'meh' 'guh'.  Yes...... those are the terms they are using.  Seems like nothing is horribly wrong... its just........ 'not right'.    So, your cranky , yet intrepid astrologer is here to explain and comfort.  There are a few things going on in the sky to   create this sense of  'winter blues'.  First , we have Mercury (the way you think) and the Sun (your internal natural self) and Mars (you in action) all in Pisces...... the  laziest, most wishy-washey , least motivated  sign in the zodiac.  Pisces is the natural ending of the zodiac and  is nebulous, and emotionally overwhelmed.  It rules institutions, numinosity,  solitude, old age and such.  When we have a stack of personal planets in Pisces, its hard to get motivated. Where you are feeling most 'meh' in  your life depends on where Pisces is located in your personal chart.   Examples: In your first house you may  suffer from classic depression and not want to do anything  but sit on the couch.  In the 2nd house, sex and income  is where you may lack motivation and inspiration, third house would manifest  'blah' in the area of close friends and  communications (ie, not returning emails or phone calls).  The bad news is that  this stuff tends to bleed over into other areas of our lives cuz nothing is  black and white and everything is connected.  The good news here is  this is short term.  In about 2 to 3 weeks you will wake up one morning all refreshed and ready  to get moving, with new perspectives and new directions.  Pisces is the natural  rest sign of the zodiac. 
 Venus is currently in Capricorn,  So, we all feel a little put upon and long suffering right now.  Once again....give it a couple of weeks.
Saturn and  Jupiter have been dancing  around an opposition  for the last few months.  Its never easy when the planet of expansion meets the planet of limitations...... Cuz we get caught in the middle  and projects get out of control and  get squashed at the same time.    Look for this to peak out in about 6 weeks and then things will seriously start to  move  forward  by the end of May.
All of this is for the collective. Your individual chart may hold some things over for your own learning  and personal growth. But for the most part we should all start perking up in a couple of weeks. In the mean time.... just.....take a nap.
