Michael, I lived in Asia for 6 1/2 years, when I was in my 20s. Those years in Korea, Philippines, and Hong Kong were an education one cannot purchase thru University. The story of Kenjiro is one which resonates with me, now a 60 something man.

Thank you for the "echo" in my Life this story propagates! Blessings and Luck to you and yours.

Thank you for this recommendation: both the life and the book regarding his life.

Native Americans were also in tune with the Earth Mother. When Europeans came they considered them savages, yet they had thrived here for thousands of years. Hopi prophecies warned of these times. Amazing how many are so blind.

You know, there were no leaves on the trees here April 1st.. I took advantage and stained my deck, because leaves fall or trees shed blossoms and make a mess. But, I cannot ever remember no leaves on April 1st in Dallas, unless the trees had bloomed early and froze. Even then they had usually bloomed again.

It was hot and dry, but more importantly, everythng planted got a late start. 2021 was also late. Both years I grew tomatoes, and got not a single tomato. I don't know what crops made around here, because the farmers are long gone.

On the other hand, the falls have been different. Hot temperatures last through September. I don't mean 90, which us actually nice, but mid 90's to 100 degrees. Cool in the spring, hot in the fall, except once April arrived this year it was hot. September 21 models March 21, the length of days moving opposite. It is the length of days that run the life of plants. If there was ever a set up for poor yields in North Texas, it was this year.

Mr. Yon,

You keep warning about this famine, but rather than simply repeating this, you could provide us detail to bring us on board with the idea. Holland alone is the key to this, or? The world economy, including agriculture is so large, so robust right now, one wonders if you might not have overshot the mark a little.

So was the case not only with the Great Panic, but also with the Lesser Panic, over the Vax Americana--our side's experts had us expecting one fifth of mankind would die in short order, but while the numbers of people we know are dribbling in, many appear to have gained immunity, not to the non-existent virus, but to the vax. Even with the first two, absolutely everyone my age and younger who took it came down with something like a real bad flu, but suddenly, the third day, they rose from bed, healthier than before, albeit with an odd symptom or two popping up later, and then disappearing again. Of course, every time people go through the next round, each time a month later pops up a new round of affected who are proclaimed rona. The gap of a month to a month and a half before symptoms appear with these boosters gives cover to the ongoing lack of any suspicion that it's not the Rona but the booster--and proves that the Vax is not only necessary but that the next booster should be eagerly pushed on the helpless, that precautions such as masks, and vax discounts at expensive restaurants are the most natural thing in the world.
