THE WTF OF THE DAY

Post by Mirah »

This will be my "WTF of the Year" maybe. Probably. I need to find out more info before I decide how much to react.

BUT-can you tell why I would have such a reaction to this article? I found it while searching for "Stehekin" on twitter to find more accounts to follow.

Apparently this guy who lives in Stehekin works for or worked for Tulsi Gabbard-or at least recieved a bunch of campaign money. Also there is some sort of religious cult. Also, Hawaii connections in this area are strong, I am meeting more and more people who have a connection to Hawaii in one way or another.

Here is a link to the article:
https://www.civilbeat.org/2019/09/why-i ... big-bucks/

Kris Robinson is the person, they show his picture and when I look at it I think, "That looks like the new postmaster"

The author of the article thought he could just show up to this person's house and get an interview.

What caught my eye first was that the tweet said, "Remote Village" well Stehekin is the town at the end of the lake. Not Holden Village-where I was. Since there was a picture in the tweet I knew it was Stehekin.

Sorry if any of this is old news, I mean technically it is! But you know what I meant. I hadn't heard about this before.

I am showing clevage today. THAT WAS NOT PLANNED! I discovered it accidently.

Maybe that is why I got a double look from someone.

There is a fire burning in a town near tve Canadian border.
This guy makes a nice post from one of my postmaster groups.

Some corporate person says the " prayers" and " I hope the post office is spared damage"

That is messed up to me. Not what I would want to hear if I were in that town and trying to get people evacuated. It changed direction so they had to work at new evacuations.

Fucking corporate types. Sending "prayers" instead of offering help. Typical.

STAY SAFE!

This is a different kind of WTF. Also CaptainWacky I love your avatar, I don't know who it is, but she is beautiful.

I was going to create a new thread and title it "Things too strange to be true" but this one will suffice.

I was driving down the road on my way to my friends place when there was a girl walking where people normally don't walk and I slowed down and asked if she needed a ride and she said, "ACTUALLY, YES! THAT WOULD BE GREAT!" (Don't forget I live in a safe mountain town where no murderers exist except for that one time when one maybe came through town.
Anyway

So this gal gets in my car and says, "My name is Katie, what's your name?"
I stare at her from my front seat, she was in the back seat because I had a couple of bags in my front seat and we were both sort of in a hurry anyway.

You would think that is the end of my story, but there is more!

So we determine where she needs to go and we are going in the same direction and where she needs to go is on the way anyway, there is only one road, so not a lot of options.
But I tell her I need to stop a mile up and get some produce from this guy who sets stuff out from his garden for people. I'm on my way to my friends house who caught a fish for dinner and I'm bringing the veggies.

Wait, that's not strange at all. This is perfectly normal.
But she finds it AMAZING!!!!!!!!

So then I stop and get the vegetables. We get back in the car and start exchanging where we are from stories and what we are doing here. The moment I say I live here is the person's que to just start asking sooooo many questions.
But then she gets to the part where she is going to the ranch to meet her ex husband who just happened to be here at the same time as her and her new guy and son and some confusing story-but the best part is

That he arrived via helicopter.
Because people do that here.

People own helicopters and just go to the mountains and go rock climbing, or hiking or whatever.

So we get to the ranch and sure enough there is the helicopter and I drop her off and go on my way to my friends house and enjoy a wonderful fish dinner and fresh veggies.

It's nice where there are some places where all the 'percents' (1 to 99) can live together in harmony.

Oh, I haven't told you about my neighbor who I spar with that believes the current pres is sent by God then eh.

For the most part people help each other out here no matter what their beliefs are.

I've been hearing a lot of rumors lately that I really doubt, but I keep it in the back of my mind and just watch.
