Oh yeah. The location we were at had a total eclipse for about one minute. And I would describe it as twilight, similar to right after sunset. It was a neat experience, it also became noticeably colder. Do you have any plans for new videos on your channel soon?

@@MiddleAmericanMan I have an endless number of plans and some things recorded, but I lack the time and the emotional reserves to push the button. I did a bunch of reading by Charles maurras that I think people would appreciate, especially as regards his social-political theory, the banning of action francaise by pius xi, his utterly psychotic hatred of Germany, and other relevant matters. He represents a halfway point between civic nationalism, throne and altar, and the radical right. Other than that I have a bunch of material on imperial japan, the second sino-Japanese war, treason in the Wehrmacht, etc, the list just keeps going. Maybe one day! On the upside my four month old child is doing great

@@didymussumydid9726 glad to hear it brother. I hope the Lord Jesus blesses my wife with children someday. But not my will but God’s will be done. I can understand how you feel about releasing videos. I have been struggling to release my next letter to the editor because I know the whole town pays attention and I’m just really upset with my fellow Americans right now. I’m afraid my next one will be too negative. Those are all great topics you have studied. I will especially look forward to the ones on Japan, I have always been fascinated with their culture.

It’s funny you mention that. I was thinking about doing a video on the sad state of these little towns. I learned real quick not to assume that nobody is living in that run down place, you better knock on the door before you turn the water off to change the meter. If you get a chance shoot me an email stonewallreb2 at gmail. I’d like to run my next to letter to the editor by you.

Thank you Didymus.

Merry Christmas! Hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas and a happy new year. I look forward to more videos from you in 2024.

Yes, it is terrible. In the paper today the county commissioners were saying how great it was that they were able create 1,100 childcare spots so that the woman and the man could both work and make more money and buy bigger houses. It’s the blind leading the blind. I’m happy to report that I do get a lot of positive feedback from my letters to the editor so I do hope we can right the ship at some point but man is it depressing to think about how far we are from having a rightly ordered society that serves God.

It is a memorial to cancer victims.

Thank you. I’m currently working on a letter about playing college baseball. I can’t decide whether to keep light or throw in hard truths.

@@MiddleAmericanMan i'd serve them an easy one. i got blackballed from a part-time journalism job because i went too hard on stuff like that. in retrospect i wish i had strung out my opportunities longer by submitting more "normal" pieces

I hear ya. I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback and I’m pretty good at telling funny stories so I will give the townsfolk something to laugh about.

Hey buddy! Thanks, I appreciate it. The local paper expanded the amount of words I get to 500 recently so I plan on writing a letter to the editor once a month. I’m not going to let the whiny liberals take over my town. Let me know if you have any ideas for topics. I know you are in tune to what the pressing issues of our time are. Hope you are doing well.

I tilled up an area one year and spread around a wildflower mix. It looked like a weedy mess but a few flowers did emerge later in summer. Sometimes they take a long time. But if they survive they will usually come back year after year.

@@MiddleAmericanMan it sounds like people have more success the second year

I sure hope we start getting some normal spring temperatures and rain.

Cheap to live there.

huh?

It is cheap

Thanks man. Hope all is good with you. Been an easy winter here so I’ve been outside all winter embracing the elements. Feels good to be in nature and no winter blues for me.

Yes. We have a good thick 12” of topsoil and then it becomes hard clay. I just did a soil test and I don’t have to add any amendments except for maybe some sulfur to lower the ph a bit, it’s at 7.1 right now. The rotation system I’m using helps build up the soil too with cover crops, leaf mold and compost. My garden at my cabin will be a lot tougher because it is former strip mined land with a thin layer of topsoil. I plan on adding lots of soil mixed with cow manure from the neighbors cows. I’ll let you know how it goes.

@@MiddleAmericanMan my experience is that if the soil is poor, just do raised beds for everything. trying to improve soil is just not worth it with clay

@@didymussumydid9726 Good point. I will probably just add a truckload of good soil every year to build it up. I don’t plan on having a very big garden out there anyway.

Nice. I go to Eureka Springs a lot. Great town. Quite a few fruit cakes but I still love it. I will stop in at the clock shop next time.

I’m glad you mentioned that. I drive by independence, Missouri a lot but I have never actually gone into the town. I will check it out next time I’m in the area. I might even pay the $15 to get in the museum. Hope you are doing well.

I don’t know too much about independence. Seems like it flys under the radar but they have the same problems a lot of small towns do with drugs and cultural rot. Too much television. But I’m sure there are some positives. I think it is quiet though.

imo you should come to indy during neewollah and see how you like it

@@crunchycheeto yeah neewollah is amazing

@@Deutsch_Gamer best time of the year fr
