Finishing it is still a long way to go. Looks like I need to go to go finish it.
I'm 76; not in the best of health. and it's quite possible I make take an unexpected dirt nap first.
When I was 73 a relative who was 37 literally dropped dead from a heart attack.
For a while I kept dwelling on how 73 and 37 are rotated numbers and wondered how come I got to live 36 years longer than that younger guy

Yea, spam was 90% salt!

Keep us in the loop, dino! I want to read your book!

You guys are cracking me up! I loved fried spam and egg and cheese toasted sandwiches growing up, LOL! Haven't had one in a long time because I have to watch my salt intake.

Yep, spam, spam, eggs and spam! emmmm good.

Old dino forget. Spam actually DID taste better way back then.

3/4 of what I get gets trashed, some days that's 100+ emails. Once you agree to receive some of these news emails . . .they NEVER go away even if you unsubscribe and dedicate them to SPAM.

PS, not the good tasting spam of the 1950s. LMAO

I let all the damn email I get take up too much of my time also.

I should be doing the same thing, Dino. Except I write non fiction.

Be assured I'm not thinking of leaving entirely.
I'm thinking of treating fiction writing as more of a job than a hobby.
The Gulch should be the dang hobby.

Also during this time there were a lot of Germans going to Communist rallies and acting kind of like Antifa does on the streets.
When Babette is projected to meet a Great War aka World War Two aka "The War To End All Wars veteran once an Imperial German Army Korporal Adolf Hitler, the future Nazi fuhrer will be a wannabe artist also wanting to do something about all those damn Commies.

That was a remarkable comment , so glad you shared it.
Just thought I would share this from the time period Babette traveled to Berlin… The German people were systematically destroyed. After the shock of losing WWI, the Weimar hyperinflation was their icing on the cake. Most Germans were in desperate poverty. Drug use became prolific, as did prostitution, transgenderism and pedophilia. Pedophiles from all over the world marvelled at their trips to Berlin, enjoying their ability to have children delivered to their door “as easy as pizza”.

None of this worried the international bankers and multinational corporations. The speculative boom in Wall St. provided ample cash to continuously expand their balance sheets, and of course, their bottom lines.

The role America played in Germany during the ‘20s would not have been possible without the great stock market bubble, and the enormous credit expansion facilitated by Benjamin Strong, and the Federal Reserve. Strong died in 1928. Unfortunately, he never witnessed the result of his monetary arrogance and hubris. The Great Contraction was just around the corner.

We All enjoy your visits to our posts and to the Gulch, Dino.

We think it's time well spent.

Still working on Little Red #1, I doubt I'll ever write 3 or 4 projected sequels to get to yet another. Which is, after losing a hubby and her baby to that infamous flu epidemic and left with nothing else to do, Babette goes to devastated post WW1 Germany to hunt down a colonel who killed her best friend for not understanding German to get off a phone quick enough on August 23, 1914, in Dinant, Belgium.
Tracking that Saxon to Prussian Berlin, she recognizes three participants of the Dinant massacre and blows them away before meeting Hitler. Haven't worked out what happens then. Likely never will. After other adventures she is supposed to get killed in a blaze of glory during World War Two rescuing several Jews who get away led by her half-Mexican grown daughter. That's because she got raped (and of course gets revenge) after she escapes the USA being wanted for bootlegging and trading shots with gangsters in a previous novel.
Love that Nancy Sinatra song about "You Only Live Twice" because I have my reality as well as my dreams. Dreams are most often not fulfilled and old dino is running out of time.
At least I can find things to do in my retirement. Been wondering if I have been spending too much time in The Gulch such as like right now.

OUC, I agree you are correct to question every release of 'news'.
The Deep State scum in D.C. are just as guilty of crimes against
humanity as those others who murder innocents in the middle east.
We shouldn't be arguing about who is the greater offender.
There are no good governments today.
They and their conspirators/ collaborators all lie and push agendas that give
themselves more power and more wealth while impoverishing and enslaving us.
We need to cripple the power of the US Fedgov at home to restore our
liberties and stop supporting all foreign tyrannical governments.

Yes...as you men..and their wives....especially to see how they are teaching their children respect with allowing them to be free thinkers....25 years of gentle learning of the bible that my "religion" never taught by growing up...why do people want to take away from them or anyone what is theirs and why are they "trying" to force us to give all to those who came here without asking them to come. Thank You Carl....have a blessed day.

You were citing Al-Jazeera for goodness sake: the only news outfit on the planet even more biased than the New York Times.

We have the videos made by the Hamas invaders showing their atrocities. Self-incrimination at its finest. We have the coroners who have examined the bodies of the slain Jews and verified the atrocities. What more do you want?

I scratch my head on that one too . . . my experience with Jewish people, (Men mostly) was that it's all about being the best person you can be. I've had many great and worthwhile friendships that made Me, a better person. Not that I was a monster or something, a bit hyperactive perhaps but it was kind of "Next level" stuff, you know?

One additional thing I will say....my many friends and loved ones live in constant fear as they are hated so greatly without any reason or cause.

You are correct whom do we believe on anything with the media...I received this from a friend but always get my "truth" about Israel from their new groups, papers and news stations.

More up front and rude insightful truths, short and sweet: https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...

"...too many are against Israel." It sure looks that way, AmericanWoman, but I Wonder if it's true. It seems the Main Stream Marxist Media is overplaying the "I-hate-Israel-and-America-and-Western-Civilization" stories and excusing the Hamas murderers, but virtually all the folks I know aren't buying it.

The whole of the middle east seems to be willing to commit atrocities like this like it was normal but I also wonder, were these creatures Israel's version of our CIA doing this or is this the real face of muslims.
Every bone in my body says YES but is it really.

Still haven't found the video in question . . .does it really exist?

FOX News ,pass.
