Gone south. Info on impact of depopulation short bites.

 I didn’t set my blog up really to do much but be a sort of journal and to learn html at the time.  I had quite a few blogs I used to learn HTML and by now I’ve forgotten what I learned but it served me at the time and it served google who was alway on my blog to invent ways for ppl to create changeable blogs 

I changed mine seasonally to see what different color arrangements etc would look like. Im an artist, a designer by nature and artist and I’m a scholar . 

Google used my blog designs, that’s ok  they bought out blogger  nothing I could do about intellectual property there.  

Sometimes we contribute to the greater good anonymously  

That’s ok  I don’t need money for everything I do  thank goodness  

Here’s a contribution I’ll journal in here today in case anyone’s showing up  other than a few old  desperate girlfriends of my ex I doubt anyone will show up .. 🤣🤣🤣


Anyway this is a short note about depopulation  in the world and its impact on us and how it’s impacting us and will impact us continually. 

The new admin coming into power doesn’t appear to be aware of these influences  but read on if you think things are amiss in the world thnx.

There is this depopulation problem in the world that most ppl are unaware of. It’s prob the real reason prices in everything have escalated.  And more jobs are filling and service is worse. China is no different in fact far worse for generational workers to replace workers from a generation that had many more children per couple. They will not have enough workers to fill their big factories. Covid deaths too have been a factor plus older generations of boomers here who guided younger people retired to save their lives during covid.  

We are in a crisis now. I slugged it out with Lowes for instance for 6 months to get doors, new doors installed. They cancelled over and over at the last minute. I’ll never shop  Lowes again. But the problem is widespread. 

Tariffs on goods will not help our country and is a lame brained idea now since we need what China gives us awhile longer while we build factories to become more self sustaining because we won’t be able to get things we need from China after the next 5-10 years due to their tyrannical control over their ppl. This is why 1 child to a couple enforced is prob going to take China down. 

Regionalism is back on the table as a necessity for many reasons. Vs globalism we have had for the past 75 years. And our new president seems clueless about it. We need Chinese goods until we can rebuild and we need to align with Neighbirs, Canada and Mexico. And we need their workers in our fields. 

I’m away on biz so also writing on my phone which is iffy always  bear with me I’m not editing . 

Here are a few photos of the gulf coast for anyone interested to see skies  the Gulf of Mexico etc  ( and places between)  

Take care

Muk/Everett beach and mountains

The search for snow goes on…


Snowy frozen rivers like the Mad River in Entiat, which flows of course. It’s not totally frozen. But it might be depending upon the temperatures and snow covering. 


Found this river searching for snow many years ago but even though I’ve returned a few times to see it this way again, it hasn’t happened until now. It’s worth looking for the frozen beauty of this fast flowing river. 

Was going to stay in Leavenworth a few nights, maybe longer but it was a Saturday night. The rooms increased over double in a short period of time. And higher. 

Some rooms were over 400.00 easy. 

Drove on an hour to Chelan. No big deal. There were options closer but was headed to Chelan anyway. 


No new snow is falling. Not sure where to go from here. But will stay another day and see what’s going on around here before heading either to Stehekin via boat up the lake 52 miles. 

Or and ..Twisp and Winthrop and around those places for snow shoeing and x-country skiing. 

Mazama perhaps.

Daffodil’s in The Skagit Valley

 Next it will be multi- colored fields of tulips. 

Either way they are colorful and it is a special treat for humans and a few other animals and birds. 

We are the lucky ones who get to see color. 

But thanks to schools, we don’t know what to do with color. In the US anyway. 

It’s conditioned right out of us, soon we will go colorblind from not using it! ^^


But here they are, the fields north of me in bloom. 

Enjoy.
