Hurricane Sandy caused more harm than people think
Take the timing of the event. Yes I say event. It was right before Halloween. Halloween will seem trivial to anyone who sees this post unless you consider some people make their living off of the holiday.
There are people who operate haunted attractions who rely on making in some cases the majority of their income in 1 month. Some of these places are not for profit charities. Still others sell Halloween merchandise such as myself and this is the second straight year a storm has hit right before Halloween. Last year a snow storm hit my area. Hurricane Sandy was a little slower to develop and certainly was advertised more.
Think about that for a second. Weeks before Hurricane Sandy had hit us the weatherman was preaching his doom and gloom report. Now consider a few other things such as the area affected or speculated? The entire eastern seaboard. I ship Halloween merchandise from the east coast. With an approaching storm people described as an almost apocalyptic event the last thing on people's minds was Halloween. Subsequently my sales were hampered in the days leading up to Hurricane Sandy's impact.
The hurricane moved out in time for my own home haunt but the damage in lack of sales did damage to my finances. I'm not saying my home is under water or was but damage is damage. Not all damage is structural.
We did get a lot of rain and wind. Lot of my props were destroyed. My corn husks all fell down or got soggy. Still I picked up the pieces and got things set again and celebrated my 25th home haunt. Not exactly the turnout I wanted but quite a few people came. People enjoyed my haunt and they told me often. I didn't have any money so I had to be inventive. I was and this Halloween was perhaps a little more spiritual than the past ones. It wasn't because of the hurricane but rather I reflected more on the harvest as modest as it was all the pumpkins I grew myself as well as the corn. It was a lot of hard work. To me that is what Halloween is about, it's about living off the land.
Still though I don't live on a farm so hurricane sandy hit me hard in the end and hurt already diminished sales do to a year which featured a lot of backdoor cold fronts as people in my industry stabbed me in the back. People who lost their homes to sandy are going to be helped out. People will raise gazillions for them but they aren't the only ones who have suffered. A lot of Americans have suffered and no one will ever care enough about them because it's not the kind of fashionable suffering that appeals to them. These days the only people who get sympathy are those who have their suffering broadcast by the mass media to push agendas. The idea is to push dependency. Those freak storms are anything but coincidental. If you can't be pigeon holed then you might as well have been the tree that fell in the middle of no where.

More on Mitt Romney and the Smuggling of Things in France
A better researcher than me should follow my lead on Mitt Romney. I've speculated this for years that when Mitt Romney got a draft deferment to hang out in France instead of Vietnam there was more to the story. After reading Dave McGowan's fantastic piece Inside Laurel Canyon a few years ago I began to really believe people such as musicians and others operated as cia assets. Dave is real funny th
e way he talks about Gene Clark from the Byrds and how the army would never want a scrawny football star whose family loved to play with guns for recreation. The same can be said of Romney. Now what was going on in the 2 and a half years he spent in France? Well for one thing the year he went there 1966 France stopped supplying israel with arms. France's president was especially critical of israel during the 6 day war in 1967. So I am quite sure that smuggling operations were set up. Was Romney a participant?
There's a reason why people like Ted Nugent came out to support Romney. Trust me Ted is another who didn't chicken his way out of 'nam he just got another assignment. When he supposedly threatened to grease Obama he was poking fun at another cia agent. Ted didn't shit his pants to avoid the draft. Chances are he functioned in another way.
Wars, especially special operations are funded by drug trafficking. Now in 1966 the French Connection was in play. Opium(heroin)came from Turkey-France-America and elsewhere. Turkey if I remember right was getting out of the trade in 1966 and after this the opiate trade shifted to SE Asia(Thus Vietnam war). When 'Nam winds down opiate trade shifts to Afghanistan in the early to mid 70's. So you have 2 potentials in France, opiate smuggling and weapons smuggling.
If you research mormonism before Joseph Smith takes peyote and sees naked chicks in the desert wondering if he knew where Haite Ashbury was the jews and mormons had a tight relationship back east. The summer of Popsicle love(year without a summer), 1916 is when Joe packs up the wagon full of whores I mean his people and travels west. During the French Connection the heroin coming into America went to jewish mobs who ran the more celebrated Italian ones. No doubt money made was making its way back to israel.
So weapons and heroin, what's new? Someone with the money should really investigate my speculation and blow the lid off of this. The longer we stay in denial of such connections the more likelihood we are bound to repeat the same mistakes, elect the same people to office and suffer the same consequences. Americans wonder why they are suffering. They refuse to open their eyes and minds to the reality that often takes place in the cover of the night...sometimes wrapped in a flag other times in cloth as in under the guise of religion. I can't nail it completely on the head but come on what kind of a nick name is "Mitt"? I know what wikipedia says...I say hogwash. And for the record sometimes names given or chosen are things to live by. Be careful what you name your kids. Names have untold of consequences.

Mitt Romney and the Romney Marsh
I wonder if the two are connected in any way?
I was watching a very peculiar Hammer Horror film called the Night Creatures starring Peter Cushing. The movie was basically about smuggling wine and a pirate named Clegg who had disguised himself as a priest. It's very much like the Wickerman but not as good of a movie.
Governments create laws to prevent goods from travelling freely and thus smuggling operation form. This is true of drug smuggling and even liquor if you can find a dry county these days. Another the of smuggling is sheep and wool. The government has to tax everything. Who is the government? Generally speaking aristocrats who think their shit doesn't stink. So for a couple of centuries wool was smuggled over the baron marshes. In the fill these marshes were depicted as being ghostly and even had an almost Ku Klux Klan feel to their look. As you can read here smuggling started out as an almost mischievous prank and then turned deadly.

The film I do believe depicts this as the fugitive pirate turned priest is the leader of the community. He can poke fun at the squire because he is the glue that holds the whole thing together. He introduces them to two spirituality and rewards them with spirits. It works remarkably well that is until the revenue people come from the government to confiscate the bootleg liquor.
Now during Vietnam Mitt Romney received several draft deferments when he supposedly went to France to knock on doors, "Hi my name is Mitt, well not really but you wanna become a mormon"? At the time in France the infamous "French Connection was still in play. The French Connection smuggled opiates(heroin)from Turkey to France to the streets of America. The main organized crime members in America were jewish. If you research Joseph Smith when he and his cult followers lived back east prior to the Year Without a Summer(1816) you will find the mormons and jews were closely linked. Now there is another smuggling operation that would have been going on in France at the time and that was the smuggling of weapons. All countries smuggle weapons or people within their country smuggle weapons. During the time Romney was in France the 6 day war and other conflicts were taking place.
So the question is does anyone really think Mitt Romney spent his time in France as a missionary or was there smuggling going on? He wreaks of CIA like his kissing cousin Obama. Obama's mother was in the CIA in SE Asia during Vietnam war. That's when his name was Barry. Mitt isn't Romney's first name either. I wonder where he got the name Mitt from? I picture him on a small row boat catching sacks of heroin. It's a theory but I've got nothing better to do.

King Bee Guitars Gram Parsons Nudie Suit Telecaster
I think in this as in most a picture is worth a thousand words and I really don't have to write much! All I got to say is WOW! How cool is this? A Gram Parsons' Nudie Suit Telecaster!!!
Above you'll find the very likable idea man behind this beautiful creation Gearmandude. Gearmandude demos lots of cool pedals and he does so in a very cool way. Check out his channel it's a good starting point when you are in the market for a new pedal. He only demos cool pedals though so bring your fat wallet. Anyway he came up with the idea if I follow the story correctly. And having listened to him for some time now it makes perfect sense.
About the only thing I would have done differently is went with a tinted nitrocellulose neck and fingerboard. Other than that this is seriously cool. Look at those Gretsch style pickups too. This is not only cool it is visually stunning as was Gram Parson's Nudie Suit with the flowers, the pills, marijuana leaves etc. Thank goodness for eccentrics!
