No phone or internet service for over
a week now.
This is a nightmare. I am going to
write about it as
soon as it's over.
Never switch phone companies if
you are a business customer. ~ MK

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MATA HARI EXECUTED:
October 15, 1917
Mata Hari, the archetype of the seductive female spy, is executed for espionage
by a French firing squad at Vincennes outside of Paris.She first came to Paris
in 1905 and found fame as a performer of exotic Asian-inspired dances. She soon
began touring all over Europe, telling the story of how she was born in a sacred
Indian temple and taught ancient dances by a priestess who gave her the name
Mata Hari, meaning "eye of the day" in Malay. In reality, Mata Hari was born in
a small town in northern Holland in 1876, and her real name was Margaretha
Geertruida Zelle. She acquired her superficial knowledge of Indian and Javanese
dances when she lived for several years in Malaysia with her former husband, who
was a Scot in the Dutch colonial army. Regardless of her authenticity, she
packed dance halls and opera houses from Russia to France, mostly because her
show consisted of her slowly stripping nude.She became a famous courtesan, and
with the outbreak of World War I her catalog of lovers began to include
high-ranking military officers of various nationalities. In February 1917,
French authorities arrested her for espionage and imprisoned her at St. Lazare
Prison in Paris. In a military trial conducted in July, she was accused of
revealing details of the Allies' new weapon, the tank, resulting in the deaths
of thousands of soldiers. She was convicted and sentenced to death, and on
October 15 she refused a blindfold and was shot to death by a firing squad at
Vincennes.There is some evidence that Mata Hari acted as a German spy, and for a
time as a double agent for the French, but the Germans had written her off as an
ineffective agent whose pillow talk had produced little intelligence of value.
Her military trial was riddled with bias and circumstantial evidence, and it is
probable that French authorities trumped her up as "the greatest woman spy of
the century" as a distraction for the huge losses the French army was suffering
on the western front. Her only real crimes may have been an elaborate stage
fallacy and a weakness for men in uniform.

Just realized, I have a really good friend.
Today I was at political meetings all day.
I rode with my friend Jeannie.
Rosa, had came by my house, saw that
both of my trucks
were here. No answer at my door.
Rosa is my friend , she knows how to
get into my house.
She urgently left a message on both my
voicemails. Where are you?
Made me think of living alone, as I do.
Who will know if "I ve fallen and
can't get up" , being held at
gunpoint as in "Key Largo" , or trapped
somehow in a collapsed building.
The world is better when
you have friends. ~ MK

Is there a Hell?
Certainly not, but if there were such a place
lying lyers such as Kenny G. Piker, Collection
Agent would rule such a place. No, I am not
being hounded by any such agent. My accounts
are cash only and I am absolutely debt-free.
This guy Kenny is an Asshole; you could look
it up in the dictionary and see this punks ugly
mug. He calls me,leaves very very long
detailed messages, the identical 5 minute
message twice!
He wants money from me , upfront to
collect some accounts that I gave him to
chase down and attempt, to collect. Not only
that, I gave him a referral on a job,
for a handyman business him another guy
started. I'm guessing this A-hole has made
$3,000 on this referral .
His $100 referral fee, was never
sent to me. He claims to have agreed to send
$50, and he will check his account and stop
payment etc. This guy is a liar, I am not going
to tolerate lies,
and deceit. I think you are just as guilty to put
up with lies as the lyer.Do you tolerate lies?
As a nation we are being subjected to a LIAR,
that has taken over our U.S. government,
GWB needs
to be, on the phone in hell with people like,
Kenny G. Piker.
As my Kellog's blog readers know I cannot
stand most phone conversation especially
a lying lyer on my phone.
I dislike talking on the phone, except for a
most pleasant conversation last night with a
new friend and Dem.; a genuine down to earth
woman who I have not met the likes of in years.
Politicians,Salesmen, and Collection agents
need to be roasted and tortured.
Here is some fake news, from The Onion
on a Hell that some want you to believe in:
Report: 92 Percent Of Souls In Hell There On Drug Charges
HELL—A report by the Afterlife Civil Liberties Union claims that nine out of 10 souls in Hell were condemned on drug-related sins.

This is a good story to think about.
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist, who was a consultant, complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.
"Not very long," answered the Mexican.
"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs . . I have a full life."
The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."
And after that?" asked the Mexican.
With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."
"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican.
"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American.
"And after that?"
"Afterwards? Well my Friend, That's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!"
"Millions? Really? And after that?" said the Mexican.
"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."
And the moral is: Know where you're going in life... you may already be there!

Perfect weather here in Old Cowtown.
We don't get many below 100 degree days
anymore. So this weekend I began getting
rocks laid out for a garden, fall garden no ,
I just want to get ready for next spring.
I cooked out and smoked some ribs
and smoked jalepenos for my Watersprite
Chipotle Salsa. Burnt the peppers,
will try again tonight.
On blogging , I am not posting here as often,
it is just too nice out. I do post more on
An unlogged visitor had commented on a post
on this my "the Kellogs" blog
from last friday :
http://www.thekellogs.motime.com/1128066111#499745
Obviously not a friend of mine, because if you
were, you would know I am an optimistic and
happy person This unlogger said in his/her
analysis of me,
"There seems to be a steady undercurrent of anger in many of your statements."
I want the anger to hearby be above board.
Yes I am angry, by the takeover of the
Religious Right, I want my country back!
I am sorry I have friends and family that
accept the lies of GWB and Rush Limbaugh.
and Corporate TV as truth.
I really feel sadness for such ignorance.
This is my blog, my expression of feelings,
that mostly is uncensored and
"not politically correct"
I kind of liked that expression,
when I first heard
it, in 1985.
I no longer care for it, I am for and all
about Free Speech, I have many friends,
and hope to have many more to
seek out my opinions and listen to my
advise.
My advise, " turn off the TV , throw away
the papers, plant a little garden,
eat a lot of peaches,
try to find Jesus on your own." ~ MK

What about this dependancy on oil?
We have been talking about alternate fuels
since the Carter administration. Will it take
2 Texas oilmen hijacking our government .
Fuel prices are now doubled and the talk
is, it will go up to $6 per gallon.
Do you care shoppers, You will, believe me. ~MK
The Other Black Gold
By BRIAN SCHWEITZER
Helena, Mont.
AMERICA has a substance abuse problem, and Montana may have a cure.
It is easy to forget, but before the hurricanes bumped up already outrageous fuel prices, President Bush was forced to ask the royals of Saudi Arabia - the country that gave us 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers - to lower the price of oil so Americans could afford to drive. He was refused.
In truth, he had no choice. America is addicted to foreign oil, and like any addict we are at the mercy of the pushers and require an intervention. Montana, among other states, is trying to help America get clean by promoting a range of modern domestic energy strategies. Yet our biggest idea is actually a very old recipe: gasoline made from coal instead of oil.
