Texas Drifter: Farmer’s Weather Roulette

Marshall’s Law Dateline – Texas Drifter is managing a “this and that” attitude. Following includes a one act screenplay concept “Farmer’s Weather Roulette”; plus brief P.S.C. (patriot security conservative) training exercise.

“Farmer’s Weather Roulette”

Players:
Ranch Scout
Dog
Boss

Scene – Ranch Scout’s small “off grid” cabin - (Boss exits his truck and starts walking towards Ranch Scout and Dog on cabin’s porch)

(Dog growls at Boss)

Boss: That dog bites me; I will shoot it.

Ranch Scout: Shoot my partner; I will put you out of this world’s misery; in self-defense, of course. Only times you visit my headquarters is payday, and when you want to whine about something. What do you want to b…h about?

Boss: Talk around town is that you have been telling locals to go steal from my neighbors.

Ranch Scout: I never said that to anybody!

Boss: What did you say?

Ranch Scout: Caught and took photos of couple local juveniles stealing some of your equipment batteries. I asked them if they wanted me to call Sheriff or their dads. One blurted, “Call the Sheriff, my dad will beat me bad.”

Ranch Scout continued: Told them I was in a good mood, and would let them go under two conditions; first, that if I even had a dream that there was one aluminum can missing. I was going to call their dads and the Sheriff; show them my pictures and that they had been stealing whatever was missing.

(Both kids said they would never even drive down the road bordering your properties.)

Ranch Scout added: I also suggested that they tell their friends that their friends, should go somewhere else to steal; because I was going to blame the two in my photos if anything on your place turned up missing. Guess they had a talk with their thieving friends.

Boss: Guess so, everyone else’s property around here has been plagued with robberies. Don’t suppose you would tell me the boys’ names?

Ranch Scout: Not likely, my deal was with them not you. Besides what do you care, if your neighbors are too cheap to hire good security?

Boss: I need new foreman; you know anything about farming; ever think about going into farming?

Ranch Scout: No do not like the odds.

Boss: You chase, hunt, and scare people off with guns; aren’t those higher odds?

Ranch Scout: Answer to first question, I was born and raised on a farm; I am a genuine Texas farmer’s son. As for the odds, my security odds are better than "farmer’s weather roulette". Let me finish.

Ranch Scout: Correct any my numbers that are wrong. You have thousand acres of grain ready to harvest; you expect to cut about six thousand pounds per acre at ten dollars hundred weight, averaging six hundred dollars acre, minus twenty-five cents per hundred, per point too much moisture. Right so far?

Boss: Go on.

Ranch Scout: If you started cutting today using your two machines plus your neighbor’s machine; you could have your crop in, in probably less than four days before Monday. Only problem is you would lose twenty-five cents per hundred, due to one point over in moisture; resulting in you only getting nine dollars seventy-five cents per hundred weight; having you end up with five hundred eighty-five dollars an acre, translating into fifteen dollar acre loss; which at thousand acres is fifteen thousand dollars. Don’t interrupt.

Ranch Scout continues: Weather reports suggest fifty percent chance that monsoon rains are expected to move in on Monday and last for a week. If you grain is still in the field, you could lose minimum two thousand pounds of cut grain per acre; translating into four thousand pounds harvested which pays four hundred dollars return an acre. Option one $585.00 acre – Option two maybe if you are lucky $400.00 acre.

Ranch Scout added: Using your own numbers, you are willing to bet or risk $185,000.00 To make or save $15,000.00 – That boss man is what is called “farmer’s weather roulette”. Oh, by the way; Dog and I have been thinking about moving up around Comstock; we are tired of working for you. We will be leaving in thirty to sixty days once crops are in, before bird hunting starts.

Boss: I can pay you enough money, to make your staying worthwhile.

Ranch Scout: Thanks for the offer, time for my partner and me to move on. We do not mind working for boss man who does not know how we do our jobs; just not much on working for boss man that does not know when we are not doing our jobs. Call you to let you know our leaving date; so you can have our last cash payment ready. Now if you will excuse us, we have rounds to make.

(Dog bares his teeth as he and Ranch Scout walk past Boss to head back to their surveillance duties.)

Editor Marshall Note: Texas Drifter wanted me to remind Reader, explaining not complaining, as we are both getting old; sometimes our high finance mathematics is less than accurate. Point in above screenplay concept is valid; even if Reader determines our high finance mathematics off. We will be only slightly embarrassed.

PART II: P.S.C. (Patriot Security Conservative) Training Exercise.

Freedom’s second most powerful weapon is one word, loyalty. Freedom’s first most powerful weapon can be described in one concept, loyalty to oath. Example, one man’s loyalty to one oath defeated Egypt’s Pharaoh, and started history’s most famous Exodus.

America’s future depends on one leader’s loyalty to uphold protect and defend from all enemies domestic and foreign. This leader’s first objective must be, to first stop America’s decline; before starting to re-build Heaven’s favorite Judeo-Christian constitutional due process constitutional ethical capitalist republic. Remember obvious example, does little good to re-start building one's home until the fire has been extinguished, or put out as most public school graduates might say.

Clue – Leaders no matter how loyal to any oath; can never be successful without having devoted followers be they: 1) “brave lone wolfs” 2) few dedicated confidants to manage dedicated many. TRUE or FALSE

Case study of those opposing above strategy, include: Obama and Marxist-fascist Progressive Democrats with Mussolini Republicans both using and allowing: fascist bureaucrats; world owes me haters; public subsidy addicts; anti-American illegal immigrants; Islamic NAZI terrorists; plus members of conservative mafia cults; and others Reader might list. TRUE or FALSE

As for apathetic no significant threat; all they need: is something to eat, place to sleep out of weather, someone to breed, and video games to entertain them rest of time. Although these drones do seem to be “techno-fascists' consumer base.” TRUE or FALSE

Observation: SOME American politicians and federal agencies learned that the problem from having “a license to murder innocents” at places like Malibu, Ruby Ridge, and Waco was following scenarios like Oklahoma City bombing. Seems their answer has been to use:
1. Fascist domestic regulations
2. Diversionary military conflicts like Iraq and Libya
3. Special interest world owes us haters
4. Anti-American illegal immigrants
5. Islamic NAZI terrorists.
All to transform America into a hybrid Marxist-fascist; internationalist corporate fascist; techno-fascist Cerberus police state. TRUE or FALSE

Bonus question: it might be worth Reader’s time to consider storing important backup documents on “un-writeable” CD’s; along with utilizing EMP scenario containers to protect electronic equipment to “play” CD’s for those planning on being “EMP survivors”. TRUE or FALSE

Clue – Reference: Marshall’s Law Texas Drifter Library Entry # 823 - “E.M.P. Could Kill 90% of Texans?”

Bonus thought question - What are different consequences between trusting a “pretender patriot” in it for greed; and trusting a vanity motivated “pretender patriot” in it for cult leader popularity? NONE / SOME/ NOT SURE
