Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

I’m thinking with all the traveling you are doing you need some traveling music…

Ghost sure looks like he doesn’t care for the heat does he? Poor old fellow. The construction is looking good, glad to see that’s coming along well.
Under the circumstances, it’s amazing that you are making that much progress.
Great time lapse there Joel. That room is going to be up in no time. Hope Ghost’s owner comes back soon though or you will be forced to take a trailer to get fuel in bulk.
I know I have asked before, but any odds and ends you need on the electrical side, let me know. BTW, have you made it out to the mail drop yet?

Care packages should come up this weekend, if all goes well. Might be entertaining.
Stop giving beer to Ghost; it’s a diuretic. 🙂
You have more skill and patience than I, sir.
