The story of sweetheart
I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. I went to investigate and saw a calico cat running around. It started to run away when I went to investigate and it saw me. I called out to it and began a conversation. I called the cat her and sweetheart because she reminded me of a kitten I knew long ago. I asked, "Are you her? You're sweetheart aren't you? I remember you. I think I remember you. I called her sweetheart so I am going to call you sweetheart." It was a female kitten that had gotten caught in an engine when I was a kid.

Bujito in the symphony
Bujito Heridontus stood in the orchard looking at the knotted and gnarled trees as the moonlight illuminated the landscape in front of him. The fog rolling in was more like mist, a sort of thicker moister than fog had usually been. Bujito wondered where the fog was coming from because it was like a low hanging cloud rather than fog that rose like steam. It moved in from the north as the winds shifted to sift through each other, heading south from our summer to theirs like the fowl he watched in flight transitioning to stay with the warmth and as the cold southern winter air collided with the northern summer air Bujito was at that meeting point watching the fog take form out of nowhere to engulf the entire orchard in the morning moonlight before the light crested the horizon. He could hear the who of the owl sounding through the night in its nocturne beckoning to the change of day one hour before sunrise. Bujito had been sole witness to instance like these strange occurrences so often.

This letter to me
Dear Jim, You really gotta consider it all ahead and use the new year. I know you say you do and you sometimes run out of breath because you talk so long in that direction trying to get someone to notice that was the wrong direction we were headed in, but fix it. Don't leave that mess on the table. I know it started to get like an unruly group of misguided children in a classroom that push the teacher's authority to its breaking point but you can't let that go. When you do you lose so much. Now think about it. When the factors in the equation are more like moving pieces, like planets in a universe, you better just get up anyway. Jesus, don't it all just seem to move so slow, but you watched so much of it slip away like that, like a country river, and you know the rapids are rough. As a note to you, don't forget the many things you've learned, the Eden between the Tigris and Euphrates, the cradle of life, crazed moves and wonders of the Vikings, how you know Scandinavian language is the sound of Germanic and French, and a man and woman traveled their to start a family and started a clann or cland, The entire story of Heaven, the insanity of roaving hordes and their terrible paths across plains and mountainous regions in Asia. We know that still impacts the world today. Don't forget the tragedies. Romeo and Juliet, Tsar Nicholas II, Macheavelli, Socrates, the argonauts, Julius Ceasar, Cleopatra, Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Joan of Arc, Christopher Columbus. Re-recognize the status of the globe and that it was given to you and you cannot refuse it. She maybe a bit of a clunker that you inherited but with a little maintenance you can get her running well again. You have to remember the joys in life and find them again.

College football National Championship bowl game
In the Ohio State versus Alabama National Championship bowl game the Goliath of college football Alabama is heavily favorite. The storied franchise has many honors and championships to boast and is consistently the team to beat in college football. But I'm not convinced that Ohio State is out classed. In fact it fell together the way I believed it would and Ohio State is the best team prepared to tackle the juggernaut program of Alabama football. Ohio State is poised to challenge the proven powerhouse of Alabama. Ohio State has a pretty rich tradition itself. The big advantage for Ohio State is its defense. There defense is a high octane machine that is simply built to win ball games. They proved that again when they went up against the powerful offense of Clemson and won by a pretty big margin. Alabama is a usually balanced program. But if a college defense is prepared to handle that steady and tested offense it is The Ohio State that has shown us time and again they want to be known for that. Ohio State will definitely have to lean heavy on its defense if it intends to win even though Alabama defense is no slouch. Ohio State does have a pretty explosive offense that can consistently put numbers on the board and it pulls those points together from everywhere. They can't leave any questions unawsered or lose the opportunity because now is the time. They have been building and building to this over the recent past to make this the moment. Will Ohio State pass Alabama in the 2021 National Championship? I believe they are the best suited to do so. Alabama might be a little nervous here. They are undefeated again which bodes well as an argument in debate. There are also a few intangibles that are like a double edge sword in regard to the entire matchup that I simply won't mention here and now. All in all even though it may have gone unnoticed Ohio State's program is as good as Clemson and Alabama (there just aren't two or three slots to put a few teams at number two) and they have gone out there and proven that. If they remain focused they are in the driver seat. They aren't a smaller or thinner team. What I mean by that is they might have somehow slipped under the radar as a powerful program. They didn't get to the Champioship game by accident. They didn't just get lucky. They were meant to be there. Make no mistake about it Alabama is not just going to give up or get caught on their heels, asleep on their feet. They are not a team that would overlook their opponent. They will be ready to play football and that means it will be one exciting college football National Championship game. College football fans should be particularly honored and excited to get to witness this meeting of two high class football programs. Alabama is finishing out another highly successful season and is right were we usually find them, at the top of the rankings of NCAA football. The rally cry of roll tide has marked collegiate football over the last decade. This will be there seventh National Championship game since 2011. They have won four and they also have a championship in 2009 to boast of as well. Dating back in recent collegiate sports history it has been Clemson and Alabama back and forth as title winners. The Crimson Tide beat the Tigers in 2015 and then lost to the Tigers in 2016 and 2018. The Tide beat Georgia in 2017 and Clemson lost to LSU last year. But just a little further back than that in 2014 we have an Ohio State victory over Oregon. In watching the collegiate circuit or at least looking it over even when unable to immerse yourself in the drama of college sports, I mean unable to devote enough time to watching most games, the Buckeyes were headed back for a title hunt. In seemed natural to me, even looked obvious. When I was asked about it I explained this exact sequence which is happening this year. It sometimes feels like I'm living a repeat, like I've already done this before because I reasoned out this exact scenario and then watched it unfold. The Clemson loss most likely means Trevor Lawrence will return to College football next season because he will be hungry for another title opportunity. I know I wouldn't want to leave another chance at that coveted title just sitting there after winning his first year and then the following years loss and then being left out this year. That will create some more exciting college football for fans. This year is one for the ages, one to watch and one to remember. Get out your memory chest and get ready to store a few momentos to take out and tell your grandkids about because all that is left is January 11th to decide who emerges as the best team of college football from 2020.In the Ohio State versus Alabama National Championship bowl game the Goliath of college football Alabama is heavily favorite.

Troubles and struggles
I have been having difficulty in getting some simple things done. A lot of what I meant was either disregarded or simply misunderstood and either way it all equaled the same result. I need my license back. Yet each turn I took on my way to getting it reinstated pulled me further away from that goal. All of this happened inside of a 50,000 square foot area inside of a 7 square mile range of travel. The reason I hadn't paid the fines to get my license back was money was stolen from me, I was cheated out of money owed, twice banking issues messed with my account, a few times promises made to me were broken. The RMV is half a block from the bank. One person who said they would help works half a block away from that in the other direction. I have trouble making money without my license. Everyone misunderstanding it. I started trying to sell some of my collectibles. I've been working in photography with no pay. I've put some of my paintings up for sale, I have my drawings for sale and I can be commissioned. It has been so frustrating I have even watched my sideburns gather white hair in this time warp. Essentially I am the main character that Edward Bellamy spook of in his novel Looking Backward. A utopian novel where the man gets to the future after he falls asleep behind a wall. I too became trapped behind this metaphorical wall. It was literal though. People mentally created a wall. Sometimes misunderstanding continued the wall. For all intents and purposes I was kept out of the world. Everytime I began to explain these censors randomly cut the explanation off for whatever reason they felt like which created a time drain that sucked life energy out of me. I've have sustained some injuries in my life and added all together they had an effect finally. I went to the doctor for help with these problems but I didn't get very far. See, something truly tragic happened. It was pretty much a normal occurrence in my life. I've watched this proverbial "train crash" happen many times. I see where it's headed and I watch this looming doom hover above everything and if all my efforts don't add up to a tragic failure then I don't suffer the horrifying effects and carry the traumas of those with me. I watched this "train" screaming down the track to a collision point. My mother made me so angry and my heart hurt so bad when she yelled at me because this other person just wouldn't respect or listen to what she said even though she was right. She wouldn't see it that way. She only said you're my son, you should listen to me. She couldn't recognize it is because I listen to her, to other people and I know the difference between right and wrong that I do as I do. So I have always been the lightening rod. I was eight. It was June or July. The thing that sickens me about it all is how tragically stupid it is. They simply constantly apply an opposite. If I say, I am eight they went unh uhh you're seven. It was a weird control tactic. A power struggle. I knew I was eight, I knew when my birthday was they had just simply lost their mind. I had no idea if it would return. I couldn't explain again that I knew he was going to shoot someone. He had explained it to me a million times. I kept watch on him. When they argued with me about it he said ahh haa see you aren't God. I wasn't sure. It was because I didn't have their full support so instead of an army of adults on my side they were against me. Which gave him the advantage and tragedy struck. My sister usually disregards a personal space, right to privacy and then also pulls in the other direction to extreme. She also used to sneak up on me when I was playing. Especially alone even no one else had wanted to play and she was always overly suspicious. I was in the barn climbing off the tractor when she pulled a maneuver I become used to. I prepared for. I spun around quickly because she can be sneaky and did care about personal injury. She had even stated see your mom can't protect you from me. She called out from out of sight and I turned around to look and backed in to a pitchfork. I hobbled to the house. There was yelling, I tried to act uninjured. He said he was going to start his assault. My efforts were thwarted and he shot my cousin. I stopped it the first day. But I wasn't there in time the second day. My sister grabbed me once and forced me to ride bikes when I wasn't comfortable. She said I had to or she would have my dad and mom and blah blah blah and she had the upper hand. I was younger and they disrespected and ignored my voice. I told I was eight and she called out after much argument that I was seven. I was forced to sit on the handle bars and even though I protested my protest was denied and we had a bike accident. High speed down a gravel rocky driveway until collusion point with the the 180 degree blacktop. It was high nineties that day that summer. My sister only said as I laid cut and bleeding that I shouldn't have been fooling around. Even though she had forced the entire situation. My voice has been disregarded much of my life. So I sometimes end up forced to witness these tragedies. Without my license I road a pedal bike into town around 10 o'clock for some freedom in the summer night air. It was a surreal dream atmosphere. It was raining lightly. I went to the gas station and got a snack and soda. To men were arguing in the street. They were throwing his shoes back and forth. One guy asked if I was going to go watch them, he was headed in that direction. I said no. I went and sat on the bike and ate and drank the soda in the rain. I watched a slow very comical race happen in the street that I can only compare to Mario Cart. It was quite funny. Four electric scooters raced by. The ones that are like motorcycles. They were all even. You could hear them coming and they moved slow enough while speeding that you could get a good long look even as they were passing by. They came by a second time after 12 or 14 minutes or so. This time there were two in front and two a little further behind. That gave me a light chuckle. Just like Mario cart. The third time they came by I was convince that it was exactly like Mario Cart or rather Super Mario cart, which I believe is the proper name. On the third pass three scooters were almost even with each other and then a good minute or so later, the fourth one, very far behind came buzzing through. I road home in a heavier rainfall sometime after that.

Earth : 2021
Here is a quick History 101 to give you some basic nuts and bolts to the blue marble you live on called planet Earth. In the beginning, with much evidence to prove this, there was a great explosion. What caused that explosion, I don't know. The loud bang as the Sun, the milky ways greatest star, exploded into the furnace that heats our planet. It filled the huge hole that had broken in the center. In all that chaos elements were sucked from corners of space into the forms of planets. Iron and gold and silver and helium came scream in gathering like a snowball right into the record grooves they inhabit today caught in the great gravitational force of our Sun. In the process earth grabbed a little molten liquid pool at its center that was just so intense in heat it never cooled like the large amount of planet around it that had cooled into the form we inhabit now and the evidence is an occasional belch of volcanic eruption that forms a little more firmament when it cools. I don't know where the water came from. Sucked out the darkness around us the particles formed into H2O from the Explosive force and even those elements battled with each other during the creation of our world as water fought with land to create the form we have today. You see the clouds. They can't become so light that they float and escape into outer space. They turn a little more like soup but more like stretching silly putty that is pulled around and about until the particles collide together into storm clouds and rain. We can see this effect when a helium balloon rises in the air and then the temperature deteriorates its lightness and it loses its floating capabilities or its power to float is dismissed so it slowly descends back to Earth. When our world was formed this amazing force was pulled into as well, the atmosphere. Cloud particles are water vapor, floating and visible to the naked eye due to the large concentration in one place. If you look close enough on a clear day, you can sometimes see the beginning of cloud form because seemingly imperceptible particles are usually merely overlooked. But if you watch and look hard you can sometimes see it. Most often between clouds or near clouds as the particles gather together from cirrus to stratus to stratocirrus and cumulus and stratocumulus and nimbus into the ultimate cumulonimbus thunder head that is a thunderstorm cloud. The equivalent to a large cacophonous symphony of nature as weather. The vapor form when caught in the right light is much like a rainbow as light refracts through the water particles but it is a little more like Easter pastels if you use color comparison to equate it. It's not easy to see but it is beautiful too. Not usually as prevalent as a rainbow. By the way we recently had one of the thunderous hiccups that we call an earthquake when a tremor rippled through Massachusetts, I think like a month ago, and I can't remember but I believe it was below 2 on the Richter scale used to evaluate the force caused by an earth tremor. I think it was back in the early to mid nineties when I first felt the earth shake here where people said they hadn't heard of one in this area before but then the news reported its recognition of it recently, reconfirming to me that I was right about it. By the way, the milkyway has a large gash like formation in it that is visible, perhaps a reminder of the force that formed our planet and the others in our solar system. There was a calm quiet that dominated after the explosion, the serene silence of space, as the planets fell into line. The molten core that became encased in planet Earth is a huge value to its sustain life. It warms from within like an internal temperature as the sun warms from the outside. And the molten core is much like our own heart in regard to simple technical function. Or at least can be compared to, if even in only a poetic way. We are the third rock from the sun and it has been the perfect distance to keep and hold life on the planet but let the seasons be a reminder of how precious life is. I feel like winter truly pushes us to the brink. A healthy reminder of the value of life and its sometimes fragile balance. The only known planet that has been able to contain, or in other words house and sustain life. Something we mustn't forget. Life is a miracle, each year is a clock and human beings are the biggest worry when comes to the simple delicate balance of life. And even though we are most likely what would destroy Earth we shouldn't take our attention away from outside forces. Elements of outer space and possible collision. These are where our attentions need to be. For wherein we have the power to ruin we so-in have the power to keep safe and protect. That is where our focus needs to be.

Here, into 2021
I heard that 2020 was the year of the butterfly. That prospect left me with mixed feelings. I often spent time in my life watching butterflies and even trying to follow after a few, so I remember all that had gained, usually bitter disappointment. However, that said, the gentle manner of the butterfly is soothing. The calm of the butterfly brings a peacefulness and the weather in which to watch and enjoy butterflies usually rolls in on the exiting April and into May all the way through September. I hope it means the butterfly has landed instead. That the year will be marked with beauty and transformation rather than the somewhat gut wrenching dance and escape of flittering erratic motions of the Butterfly. The Papillion as the French call it. Or Le papillon which I find interesting because I don't believe butterflies are usually thought of as masculine. There is a 2002 film called Le Papillion or The butterfly but I am reminded of the original film with Dustin Hoffman and starring Steve McQueen. McQueen has several run ins with captures and was ultimate banished to a prison colony on an island which made me think naturally of Napoleon on banishment. Hoffman being slightly diminutive made me think they were possibly eluding to some real life historical person who had been cast off to imprisonment on an island only to find the mild fate of Napoleon living out his days in exile to Elba, a Mediterranean Island. Seems pretty luxurious for the tyrannical emporor to be sent to an island. For all the self proclaimed greatness and the seeming boldness he turned quiet meek in the retreat to Elba. I find the movie Papillion must be historical and real. And the man, who, mistaken in identity, was cast off to Elba also naturally finding Napoleon there confined he would let the island keep himself. Hoffmann character remarked about the craziness of that man's proposal. The man fashioned an escape and kept off the extremely high island to dodge his way through the jagged rocky waters. The once extremely bold Napoleon sat ineffectually, to meek to escape Elba's confinement while the daring boldness of the Papillion, who the French must have known through lore about him, as the only one to have ever escape the treacherous waters of Elba, had finally earned him freedom. Maybe in fact Napoleon himself had been hunting Papillion and then in a twist was cast, in like, to the same island, yet the Papillion won freedom. Maybe the Papillion told his own story to the people and nonone was the wiser about it. It was said he was never heard from again. I find the butterfly feminine which is possibly a sexist point of view but, all in all, most likely agree with me about that. They are quite a beautiful transformation. From the somewhat ugly, pudgy, worm-like caterpillar to the vibrant butterfly. From crawling as manner of travel to the freedom of flight. The message of the butterfly, what we can see from watching it, is beauty. And it brings that beauty freely to the world. The world needs a transformation anyway. I am certain Hoffman was, perhaps unaware, playing the role of the exiled Napoleon. Napoleon said "An army marches on its stomach". Also, "Victory belongs to the most perservering." He also said, "Glory is fleeting but obscurity is forever." And "Until you spread your wings you'll have no idea how far you can fly." Bonaparte said, "If you want a thing done well do it yourself." And "Impossible is a word found in the dictionary of fools." All of those things were then challenged to him when the Papillion met him on the island and then escaped. When asked by Papillion (McQueen) 'What about escape?' Hoffman said 'Why it is impossible.' So, naturally, the Papillion, who had eluded French forces and Napoleon himself and had been captured once before, was really a man butterfly and it was only fitting that Bonaparte should find defeat and the lousy taste of his own words, or rather the simple fact that he wasn't as great a person as the Papillion when he was face to face with the very man he had spoken so derogatory and degrading about and that he wondered why he wasn't dead yet. That telling moment is when Hoffman exclaimed something like why I think that man is God when Papillion lept from atop the island to freedom. Napoleon, when fighting his enemy, had often said does he think he's God, well he's not God and various like things in his pursuit as Self proclaimed emporor of France. Here, in the year of the butterfly, all the transition of more utopian values and that better world are within reach. We finally see the best victories being won as we iron out the painful wrinkles of history and uphold the ideals we shouldn't have ever lost as human beings. Progress is the focal point and 2021 the firm grounds and foundation to move forward with. So it is good advice to remember don't get too lax, don't let your humanity slip away so that we don't fall into bad habits that lose the ground of the progress we make. Then we won't flirt with change or flirt with growth like a butterfly dances on the wind.

The Forrestal, Remembering Jim, and life.
This one is a thinker. I was born in May of 1978. I have always listened to the tune of planet Earth and what the universe is telling me. I am artistic, creative and also scientific. In Forrest Gump, Gump went to Vietnam and had a Lt. named Dan. It's famous if you've never seen the movie, prevalent throughout it. He became like a two in theme throughout the movie. I don't know who Gentle George is but he wrote about Kindness and playing Fair and remembering Jim Piehl. Jim had died in April of 1976. On the 7th, when his plane crashed into the back of the USS Forrestal, doing night landings. Gentle George had met him in 1960 and when they parted ways never saw him again. Jim Piehl 1960-1976 had a Lt. named Dan Cole. At least whenever he had gotten the commission to fly the F-4. Just as a note in my life the USS Cole was bombed. I had strong anger toward the month April for various reasons but I also love the month of April for what the month literally is as strange as that might sound. The weather and Season and what means is in store ahead of us and further along. I've always felt a little upside down in this world where people don't always seem to understand what I'm saying. Jim W. Piehl was the navy pilot and good working, loved to smile shipmate but I'm James M. Piehl in this world or Jim M. Piehl if you so please to hear it that way. My father was in the military from 1960 to 1964 I think. He was a marine. I know he was through by 1964. There is a twilight zone episode where a WWII vet, my memory is a little fuzzy but I think it was a WWII vet, was exiting one of those ships where the front opens and all the men run out and he was killed. The man saw it happen right in front of him and in the episode that same man saved everyone in that unit with an act of heroism and then vanished. It was either a WWII VET or a Vietnam vet. I also find it slightly tragic and note worthy that a man in military service from 1960 had survived the entirety of Vietnam, the war that claimed so many lives, which essentially ended in 1975 only to die in 1976. Those are just some of the many things that have made and effected my life. By the way a set of cards, basically trading cards, made to commemorate military vehicles arrived and the USS Forrestal was in it. I have the card here and I never widely collected those cards. I've always searched to solve mysteries and puzzles in this world so some of these coincidences have more meaning to me. My own family never understood me very much, thought that I said weird things. I just try to learn and pay attention to the lessons of history and the world. Most of this I pulled out of thin air the way Johnny Carson took revealed the contents of a sealed envelope on The Tonight Show but the facts are true and these pieces arrived in my life from out of nowhere. People usually thought I was just telling stories. There has been a return to the unfinished business of the '60s here during my life, most notable, recently and some tumultuous disrest came with it, in the need to settle much unfinished business that has affected and effected the United States. But we as a people of America and the world were given these terms and the scientific laws that govern us as well as some heavy burdens from the past to carry with us as we move forward in life, and as the world and time move forward as well. We have unsettled business from 1200 1400 1600 1700 1800 and 1940 1960 plus 3400 b.c. and 1 a.d. to deal with that effect us. So it is best to understand our responsibility and the world plus our relation to it. To understand our greatness and our meekness, our importance and our inadequate or commoness to do the most good we can. To find the road we want and the road we need to travel. To find our place in it. At times life dictates us, at times we dictate it. Welcome to 2021 and Happy New Year.
