Mad Max

 

If you ever watched the original Mad Max, back in the days... you would have asked yourself - how did it get to be like that? What happened - right before? 

About 40 years ago the world, at least our world here - was much different. 

People had respect, neighbors were friendly with each other and everyone on the block knew everyone's kids. You had each other's backs. 

Your kids didn't disrespect teachers, if they did - trouble landed on both ends - in school and at home. There were consequences for wrong choices. YOU LEARNED RIGHT FROM WRONG.

Teachers had respect for students and wanted them to learn. They taught relevant subjects like reading, cursive writing, math, how to count money, how to mop a floor, change a car tire, budget money, how the government was supposed to work. . .  

Sexuality, religion, politics.... PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS for kids to have with their parents. School has no business ... NONE.

It used to be that people went to churches.... although there were several different religions - THEY ALL WORSHIPPED GOD. The SAME GOD. Now .........

It used to be shop lifting was a crime and seldom happened. Now stores teach employee's to DO NOTHING. Idiots in charge have DEFUNDED THE POLICE. Now 'hold ups' in convenience stores are a daily thing. Don't worry they don't need your wallet or money - they want your PHONE. Everything they need to destroy your life - is on your phone - and they know it.

Order on line - they steal packages off your porch. However you are still safer shopping at home and arranging delivery at a time your home, or with a neighbor. 

They steal the converters under your car while your in the store... They steal the car.... 

The president has opened the borders and you can bet - other countries are not sending US THEIR BEST. No, they are sending their own criminals and thieves and murderers.. all to us. 

Not that long ago - roughnecks took over city blocks and caused quite a few problems in Seattle.... That was only the beginning.

You wonder how it got to be what it was in the movie? We are well on the way there.!

Let's Play Croquet!

We could spend the weekend researching where the game originated and 'who' created it?  It appears to be from the European side of the world. Here is the 'best' information I found this weekend. on the History of Croquet

How to play? Can be just as lengthy of a research, since there are several ways to play the game. From number of players to court set ups....  

We will be playing the Nine Widget {Back Yard} Game, for the Community Tournament project I'm working with.

Here are the Rules we'll be using, the court layout and how to play;
