Now who needs to adapt?

Well the last time I checked WE were the supreme species on the planet. Does this mean we should put other species into extinction? No. But, I'm pretty sure that they will learn to live with pipelines or whatever else needs to be done. They will be fine.

There's an old Spanish mission in Southern California where the swallows have been returning to for over a hundred years.

Where did they nest BEFORE the mission was built?

Now-a-daze, the swallows have moved on again, after all those years.
Where have they moved to?
The new bridges, over-passes, and the walls of the new homes and shopping centers and malls, ....... that's where.
Seems life for them is evolving as their numbers increase.

Bummers for the tourists though.
And the festival just ain't the same either.
The least those ingrate birds could do is make an appearance in flock.
But it seems they prefer to dwell in the suburbs.
Go figure.

Hmmmmmmmmmm

I might agree if the day was switched from
Monday to Wednesday.
Or Fridays AND Mondays.
I'd strike for that.

But, then again ---- Big truck truck drivers are people TOO!
What would THEY buy on their day(s) off?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm thinkin' wrought iron.
You know, for the security doors and windows -- and the 10 foot fence -- to protect y'all
from all the OTHERs who will be inconvenienced while we throw our tantrum(s).

If that happens, the chances of a Big truck truck driver bein' elected President wouldn't be as likely as it is today.

From my observation(s) --- those who want instant results from a "strike", are usually the same who rarely, if ever, contact their elected representatives to voice their concerns. Officials who are often elected in the first place because they heard nothing from their voters -- and/or non-voters.

When the elected officials hear nothing, the silence could be deafening.
Imagine that.

Now

Imagine this ----
A sleeze-bag drivin' a Big truck is about to leave a Big truck truck stop.
Before departure, he/she announces over the CB radio;
I'm leavin' 5 full pee-jugs in this here front row spot. Next guy/gay takin' this spot might wanna watch out for them. There ain't no caps on 'em, and they'd be just outside the driver's door.

Hmmmmmmmm
If an 11 meter signal were broadcast,
and nobody had their ears on ---
who'd hear it?
And what would they think/say?

"Thanx for the warning driver."?
"Hold that spot 'till I get thar."?
"Jeeze driver! Have the decency to
dump in the the back row."?
"Oh drat! I think I just ran over it!
Haa HAA haaa HAAAAAA."?

Now, there are those who wonder why few, if any, folks are critical of those actions, -- of which I'm told is the majority. And I might just have a clue.

You see, the "good folks" seem to turn their "Children's Band" radios ---- OFF. Thereby ignoring that chatter.
They've heard enough.
And I don't fault them there.
BUT, silence is another form of perceived acceptance.
What GOES on, goes on because it's allowed to go on --- for many reasons.

Our gubmint is BY the PEOPLE and FOR the PEOPLE.
The gubmint is US.

A "strike" ain't gonna change that.
