today I decided to move into the country

    The small signs says, “Anything she wants." 

    Today, I decided to move into the country about 25 miles north of Birmingham. After graduating from the University of Alabama School of Law, I nearly moved to Troy, Alabama, to be a country lawyer, but I let my father and his father and their lawyer talk me out of it. I will not be a country lawyer this time- unless you count trying cases and being on trial myself every day and night in God’s Courtroom.

    After moving back to Birmingham in 2019, I spent 5 years driving from my apartment in  Southside down to Shelby County, to play chess with other old farts in a senior center and public libraries, and to play bridge at the Birmingham Bridge Club, where I made a lot of friends around my age and older and younger. That’s a lot of long busy road miles and I don’t know if I’m up to it. 

    Maybe I might start fishing again, or become a birdwatcher, or a quilt weaver, or a tornado chaser, or whatever; and I will keep writing and doing podcasts. My ladybug says she has lots of business and stuff to do in Shelby County, and she will see to it that I keep seeing my friends down there. 

    We have thought a lot about what has become of America, and it ain’t pretty, and there’s nothing we, or anyone, can do about it. Donald Trump clearly is criminally insane, yet he may be elected in a few weeks. If not, America gets Kamala Harris, who has yet to impress us. Joe Biden did not impress, as president. Donald Trump could have been a good president- if he had not loved himself more than anything. 

      Trump botched the Covid shutdown by not making Dr. Vladimir Zelenko’s cheap, fast, early stage infection cure freely available in America, and on the sneak Trump sent Vladimir Putin  several scarce, fancy Covid detection machines for his personal use, which Americans needed to try to stay alive. Trump did not get America out of the war in Afghanistan, and after President Biden got America out of Afghanistan, he was criticized by Trump for the way it was handled.  

    Regardless of who is president, America defends Israel because of the Bible. But for the Bible, what interest would America have in the Middle East?  

    Three nights before 9/11, Archangel Michael asked me in my sleep, “Will you make a prayer for a Divine Intervention for all of America?” I woke up and made the prayer.

    A week after 9/11, Michael told me as I walked out of the Key West post office, “America should get out of the Middle East altogether and let Israel and Islam work it out, or fight it out, and in that way learn which, if either, are God’s chosen people.”

    Some months ago, I told God: “Take my life and Donald Trump’s life,” which, as an American, I had standing to do. So far, Trump and I are still breathing, so I figure God has other plans. For all I know, America is so screwed up that God thinks America deserves Trump being president again. If Trump is not reelected, he and his legions will not go quietly. 

    My ladybug has guns and plenty of ammo and survival food. She has cisterns and a national gas generator. She has a pond full of tasty bass, bluegill bream and asian carp that eat algae. She has a big pickup truck, small tractors, raised vegetable gardens and fruit trees. We know how to shoot, fish, raise vegetables and cook. 

    I told my ladybug that I think she needs to plant more fruit trees and have a well dug and solar panels installed to provide electricity for the well and her home during blackouts. Our friend Bob, who does the tech work for my digitized books at archive.org and The Redneck Mystic Lawyer and the Not So Sweet Home Alabama podcasts, knows how to build devices that allow internal combustion engines to run on hydrogen extracted by electrolysis from freshwater. With those devices, we probably can live off the grid entirely.

    My ladybug has a posse of spirit women looking after her. I understand plainly that they put up with me for so long as I deserve to be put up with. I have a posse of angels on my case all the time. I wish Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris had similar posses riding them.
