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 afraid that won’t look very impressive once it’s stacked in your woodshed. But it’s a start. 👍
Warm fire, a book, a glass of your favorite tipple with a dog at your feet. Looks like a several lovely evenings when you get it in your woodshed.
No it won’t. But it’s far better than that much juniper, and better than I hoped. By late summer I only had 3 pallets, then this autumn managed to scrounge another five. They’re much better firewood than juniper and stack a lot more compactly.
How are you doing on propane?
It may not be a huge pile of wood, but it’s better than no pile at all.
