A Goyim enjoys a summer at Buffalo Gap Camp

The recent discussions of Pastime Park are a pertinent topic to consider as we work through plans for a public pool upgrade, yet rings a personal note for me. In the summer of 1973, I had the pleasure of attending a five-week session at Buffalo Gap Camp in Capon Bridge, West Virginia.

Buffalo Gap was founded in the 1950s as a private camp for upper-income Jewish youth from the Washington D.C., area, and it was a beautiful sight. Somewhere along the way, they opened it up to the Goyim, so I was able to sneak in.

Buffalo Gap offered classes in horseback riding, archery, kayaking, marksmanship (we used real rifles), ceramics, theater, Kung Foo, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a few more. The food wasn’t fancy, but it was always high-quality and after dinner, we all had entertainment, mostly provided by campers. It could be a talent show, a one-act play, or game night, or anything else to keep us occupied. They kept it up six nights per night for five weeks.

What I remember the most about Buffalo Gap is the huge man-made lake. It was spring-fed, and had a dock on the shore with a very spacious, well=organized boathouse. There was a dock-like structure in the middle of the lake. That lake is where I discovered my love for Kayaking and it was the best summer of my life.

Meanwhile, in the summer of 2021, it appears that official “guidance” on masking has flip-flopped once again, If we were to research each of these flip-flops individually, we might find that each had a rational motive behind it, but if we stand back and look at the many position reversals as a whole, it just looks sloppy,

When we eventually come out of the disrupted and unbalanced virus economy (which seems to be delayed now due to the Delta Variant) the inflation rate is predicted to be at least 2% for several years to come. The Fed has said they have nothing to change as of this week. The Fed doesn’t seem to worry about it and it doesn’t seem to bother Wall Street. Should I be worried?

What bothers me are things like the 15$ minimum wage. That will surely cause inflation. We have turned ourselves into a net importer of oil, which will drive inflation, and we are already seeing the results.

\After that, we will be mandated to purchase more expensive cars, how to power our homes, and return to a messed-up healthcare system. When it takes more money to buy stuff a than year ago, that’s inflation.

When I hear the term “infrastructure,” I always think of physical infrastructure. Apparently, some folks think otherwise.

The bipartisan infrastructure bill made it through the Senate this week with a price tag of 1.2 Trillion dollars. Speaker Pelosi said she would sign it, but would not push it through the house unless her 3.5 Trillion baskets of goodies passed as well. That doesn’t sound very bipartisan to me.

While we haven’t yet completed our pullout from Afghanistan, we are continuing air missions in full support of the Afghan army. The Afghans still face the possibility of being overrun by the Taliban..

On July 20, we conducted a drone strike against Shabab militants in Galkayo Syria.

The Shababs are associated with Al Qaeda and had attacked a group of the 700 remaining US advisors in Siria. I wonder why it’s so seldom that we see newscasts about these things on conventional media?

It’s all about the virus these days.
