Two days ago I was at 7,000 feet in this alpine meadow, on the other side of the Bighorns, cool temp. Yesterday, I was at 4,000 feet, 110 degrees.
I’m in a strange sort of limbo as I write this. I feel like I’ll survive the day, which is a nice change from yesterday, but at the same time I’m on the edge of… incomunicado?…
But what do I mean and how did I get here?
Yesterday I was in Lovell, Wyoming and I was goddamn miserable. At about this time of day (a bit after local noon) I was stretched out on my couch unable to move or even plan an escape from the heat. According to my digital thermometer it was 110 degrees and shit it was still early in the day. It was too hot to drive, make for higher ground, which was less than 20 miles away, but nearly straight up. The rig tends to overheat as it was, and with the temp halfway to a boil…
The tiny dot on the hill is likewise the rig, same campsite as photo #1.
…so I figured to wait it out until the cool of nightfall, then actively think about a higher elevation campsite, somewhere north in the Bighorn Range.
Plus there’s the Internet issue, as in Wyoming doesn’t have any at higher elevation and from what I gather I’d be cut off anywhere above 7,000 feet on Route 14A Alt, my straight shot to the higher reaches.
Same alpine meadow, different rig.
Point being, as I write I’m at about 7,000 feet, the temperature is livable, but I have a feeling that if I go any higher I will be out of touch, i.e., no Internet.
No Internet. Cut off. In both directions, incoming and outgoing. Truth is I’ve come to count on the incoming and over the years have not gone for more than a few hours sans-net.
How’s that going to go?

Next morning. Another spectacular turnout off Route 14a Alt, no more than a mile from last night’s refuge, but probably 1,000 feet higher in elev. I still have the net here, maybe 8,000 feet. I’m hesitating here at the National Park Entrance. Ahead lies the communication vacuum…
(My excuse for tarrying here is to finish this post before ‘Net darkness descends.)
Listening to NPR — after all you must understand your enemy. They are saying the temp in Las Vegas may reach 118 today. Hah! Good. Maybe they’ll all die… My thermo already reads 81 at 8 AM at 8,000 feet. Jesus, how hot must it be down on the prairie, whence I came. (Did you know that ‘from whence I came’ is a redundancy? See, ‘whence’ already contains ‘from’…)
#
Still here, haven’t moved. I’m thinking that most of you are uninterested in posts like this, wherein I relate my mundane daily doings. Not only am I getting Unsubscribes but those few of you who have been helping out with $3.25 a month are bailing as well, an average of two per post. Well, shit. Okay, don’t blame you…
At 8,000 feet I can’t embed photos, hence the dearth of them above. I was going to revert back to a Spacex rant, since that lie may be, in the long run at least, the most profound of all of them. But since I can’t embed the images proving fraud, I’ll leave you guys to check out this absurd imagery and, I hope, have something to say about it in comments.
Just what’s the problem here? Let’s hear it!
I’ve fired up the rig and am about to enter the darkness. See you on the other side of the Bighorns…
Allan
Sorry to hear about the horrendous heat. I hope it improves soon. Best wishes to everyone, but especially Allan.
“On the Edge of Incomunicado”
You know, Allan…. this could be the title for a brand new *hit* soap opera! 😀
Miami Lice, 😂
Geez, you’re funny when you’re “miserable”, Allan….lol
Voo
Allan I hope you stay cool and stay sane… Too late to make a run for the coast? You’d have to drive at night and then tough it out during the daytime. I don’t envy your position. Here on the Great Lakes they moderate the temperature very well rarely do we see triple digits… And, as the great lakes water temperatures warm up above 70° surf season will start, our summer season is mostly waist to chest high longboard waves…. There are some nice places to camp right on the Great Lakes like sleeping Bear dunes, you would dig it very much, aloha be safe
Thank you, Allan, I for one appreciate your (not so) mundane day to day struggles/adventures … they give me life. I live in a world where the only real conversations I have are via the internet, and they are all one sided. It has become impossible to have any kind of discussion about anything that truly matters, no one it seems, has the stomach for it. It’s pretty f%$#^%$ lonely. And I’m sorry that I can’t even afford a measley $3.50 a month to help keep your voice alive via the internet, and even that becomes more problematic every day with constant computer/ IP issues.
I just found out today that in order to leave a message on my land line telephone, information is now required, including a pin#. I can feel the walls closing in. I will be here as long as I can.

Man, get out of that heat if you can!
As for the donation, I am happy to kick in. In fact, I just tried to add another monthly donation by Paypal- hope it works.
Also I think your photos and on the road observations are great! Please stay with it, a collection might sell as a book,imo.
A poem for your delectation. Two linked verses in 5-7-5 syllable pattern. Forgive me, hope you like it.
Endpoint
He fell to the ground
With no one there to hear him
Still he seemed to pray
Closed and then open
The mouth of a landed fish
Moves, but makes no sound.
Best wishes.
should be a period at end of first verse- stuff like that bothers me.
also, good one on “from whence”.
best wishes.
Got a new fin?
So keep me entertained or I’ll pull my measly 3.25 a month.
And you think it’s worthwhile waking these schmucks up, Allan?
I don’t contribute anything because I don’t believe in paying for information.
Open access for and to all, I say. The mouthbreathing muggles who make up 95% of the population are doomed anyway, free information or not; they still wouldn’t know where to look. Or bother looking.
Enjoy the wilderness while you can, I say. And who gives a shit about yet another bored muggle.
Azzy: “I don’t contribute anything because I don’t believe in paying for information.”
Thank goodness Azzy is back with his usual wit and insight.
Speaking of “information”, are you going to tell us when the *next* big, terrible thing is going to happen to all of us?
Let me guess… September now?
You’ll find out soon enough, goofball.
Trillionaire bankers and players have just given up and gone back to the drawing board, right?
Riiiight. Course they have.
Right know you’re being dangled like a pinada.
July, stock market wobbles, 50 trillion USD moves to crypto in the biggest wealth transfer in history.
You? Watching it all happen in true NPC fashion.
Then comes Biden’s Dark Winter.
You did listen to his speech at Geneva didnt you?
Of couuuurse you did, 😂
You’re gonna be hit by a freight train, and won’t even see it coming.
Hint: this is part of what’s coming. A tiny part. Dont say you weren’t warned.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/jun/17/us-evictions-moratorium-rental-assistance
Oh, please Azzy…keep the “warnings” coming.
I’ve enjoyed the dozen or so you’ve dispensed (for free!!) over the past year here.
Though…I really do prefer the more specific prophesies of doom, that name actual dates.
I see you are being more vague this time around.
I guess the “clue” would be in the Guardian article you linked.
Luckily those of us who “pay for information” (in the form of paying for the internet) can access it.
I wonder how you did?
By the way, do you believe in paying for other people’s time/effort/energy?
Or are you entitled to everyone’s energy for free?
Oh, need it spelled out a little bit more, huh?
I doubt you could comprehend what this means but trust me, Ostrich. It aint good.
So keep your head in the sand and your a-hole in the air, ya’ll.
You won’t have 3 bucks to spare b4 too long. So scoff away, asshole.
While you still can.

I’ll drop yallz a clue. Take away the Fed stimulus?
And you have a zero GDP.
Geddit?
July. Ged ready.
Oh, and when you can access nodes, you don’t pay. Only chumps do.
July…got it.
And just so we’re clear, you *do* feel you are entitled/owed other people’s energy/effort…for free?
Pray tell, what *do* you pay for, if anything?
Rather, as a paid up inhabitant of the Land of the Slave and Home of the Fee, youve been so utterly brainwashed and conditioned as to accept hundreds of grimly little hands in your pockets morning noon and night– all looking for their scabby lil’ cut–as something akin to normal.
Good luck with that, ya’ll.
As for me? Let’s just say access to a wondrous range of regularly updated, cutting edge information from all over this wondrous world of ours is a perk of the job.
You just keep clicking the Paypal button–or whatever– and make your purchase.
Adios, amigo.
More alert people to tip off, today.
Youd wanna start focusing on what’s relevant. What’s core.
Not getting your panties in a twist about lil’ ol’ AzzMan.
Azzy, doesn’t the child tax credit start in July? That will be a huge influx of money into famalies, will be spent, and will stimulate the economy, you dolt. Crypto is gambling right now.
lol “famalies”. Nice spelling, chris.
Stimulate a crippled global power economy by going out and buying shit made in China for a few months?
Then what? Back to the service jobs with no real economy left to service?
Other than that being kept on life support by printed funny money and fed buyouts?
Makes sense, amigo.
Why have Blackstone just bought 17,000 homes?
And others many, many more?
Coz you’ll “own nothing”, that’s why.
Sound familiar?
If not, it soon will be.
Please do some basic economics research.
You survive by this blog, and you love & adore it!…I think you should let the moth skeletons out of your wallet for food & Gas at least!! . And you are enjoying the best of photography & film also! (Priceless!).
Jab jab jab, hommey.
It’s just a Matter of Time.
Enjoy.
I actually couldn’t give a fuck because I am armed with the greatest disease killers in the world. I have plenty of numbskulls over here who have had the jab, and the brew has been like water (a whole lot of nothing!).
I believe different vax’s are being administered to different countries, because some countries are off the richter scale for adverse reactions or death.
Explain that one TIGHTAZZ, – why are some countries experiencing NO deaths from the vax, and why are people dying in droves in other countries??
It has to be a different brew.
In saying all this, it is still MILES behind the deaths from Cancer & Heart disease – which no health industry authority ever gives a damn about!.
But I won’t be waiting for your answer with baited breath, because so far you have not divulged ANYTHING of USE over the last year or two!.
Psyched! 😂
Can you finally quit with the attempted fear mongering? – it isn’t working.
And can you finally tell us ONE shred of a fact (after how many years is it) that we don’t already know!?
And as folks have said above, you would hate it if your pay was stopped for whatever the hell it is you actually do!
We just watch, old chap. And tip off folks who zre tired of being Non Player Characters.
About 2-3% of Muggle might get the slightest of stirrings. And data we work off suggests that can sometimes be enough to initiate, ahhhh, let’s just say a process.
Of sorts. In their occluded lil’ “minds”.
And nothing I said came to pass, huh?
Dude, all that tells us is that you haven’t really a clue what the fuck is going on.
As is pretty much the case throughout the Crown Colonies.
Yallz’re a test bed, y’see.
And you dont even know it. Don’t feel too bad, though. You’re being managed by some of the world’s very best.
Not as good as us, though. But still good.
Don’t be a NPC, Brett.
And enough for now. Enjoy the chilled out vibe Allan’s putting out there.
He knows something is up, fo’ sho. Folks who move and stay close to nature do.
Take a leaf outta that book and wake the fuck up.
Outta here, the apparant respite in the narrative you’ve been enjoying is about to end intermission and enter Stage 2.
Act accordingly.
And bon chaaaahhnce.
Well…we are still partying here!.
Where is the deadly disease killing the world?? (other than on the news box).
Where is even ONE “covid 19” victim to find here after 18 months?? (well OK someone knew someone who was 97 and died from the flu).
When is the big ugly spider (has to be non-human) that is really in charge going to show??.
Even a little kid knows it’s all fake circus & games & distractions as the Banksters scramble to keep kicking their ponzi-scheme can down the road as they rob us.
Who’s talking about a “deadly disease”, amigo.
That’s just the cover.
So “party” on, Tom Jones. Drink all the tinnies you like.
(And grow up.)
Because very, very soon there’ll be no more partying.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Just do the right thing and pull that $3.50 out of your azz (per month) TIGHTWAD.
So far (over about the last 18 months), your so called 1st hand secret information has been as useful as tits on a bull!.
You have even contradicted yourself many times, so many times it’s not funny.
Brett, you couldn’t organise a pissing contest in a care home, so don’t count yer chickens b4 they’re hatched.
Since we’re feeling all analogous today!
July.
And if nothing happens by end of, I’ll film myself eating a cat shit sandwich and post it on here for all to gloat at, deal?
And my guys do cans of ‘wild game in gravy’, only!
(Fussy little bastids)
50 Trillion into crypto after stick/property market collapse.
EVERY swinging dick in government is preparing for this. Now.
Don’t get caught with your party shorts down, you ghastly little hobbit!
🖕
Tick Tock, Brett.
It’s just a matter of time.
Told ya!

What is wrong with that absurd imagery?? – for one thing the lit firecracker stuck up the models bum (like on the Flash Gordon film set! ) is unconvincing & a joke.
One of the monster give away’s is what you will never find anywhere, if you do a search on good old you tube for instance….there should be 1000’s of films caught on cell phones or home camera.
I’m not going to say what it is you can’t find, because the PTTTB learn by reading what the public think on the blogs etc.
More excellent photos again Allan!.
My wee bit of money is set up for the long haul, and I believe I can still afford it if I went broke (I think! 🙂 . IMO the people unsubscribing are idiots, and also between a rock and a hard place.
My $3.25 is also good, period.
My $3.25 is good, period. By the time Prez * (kudos to Kurt Schlister on the ‘*’) gets done, you’ll have to increase it $6.50.
BTW, here in the SC Lowcountry, the son and mother of the 14th Dist. Solictor (DA in other states) were assassinated last week. Son (22) by shotgun & mom (52) by AR-15 or 30-30, on their Colleton County plantation. Son had an upcoming court date for 2nd degree involuntary mansiaughter – boat wreck near Beaufort (pronounced VIEW-fert) & he’s drunk. But has drug on 3+ years w/ no trial. These are big time small D democrats who made side multi-millions by being ambulance chasers, have run the solicitor’s office since the 1950s. The 14th includes Hilton Head, very wealthy district. Lin Wood owns several plantations here. Stay tuned…
