hi everyone, hope you are having a nice day. please be advised that an ice storm may be moving toward many parts of Katuah late tonight and early tomorrow, making today a great day to sharpen your Shouseki homesteadin' skills.

tomorrow evening Kaily Moon Schenker will be giving a cello recital at Glade Baptist in Blacksburg, VA and an artist reception for A'Court Bason will take place at the Winter Sun culture center in Floyd, VA. if I can get more info on these events I will post it as soon as I can.

also on Leap Day this year a new gallery is going to open at 111 W. Main in Floyd. please stay tuned to the Katuahnet for news on this venue.

bye, have a beautiful day, thanks for reading. -Suzy

hi everyone, hope you are having a wonderful day

nerd school is really really really hard so I have very little time to post. here are a few news bits etc.

the Trail of No Tears can be used today find a link to ROAR, which I found this morning. I have one word to say to my new pals at ROAR: ROAR!!!!!

cultural desertification projects in former Katuah territories are continuing as we speak, with a site just a few miles from here having succumbed to legal gins-n-snares etc. HOWEVER. do not let this bump you off the Trail, especially if this development looks as though it will inflate your taxes and spoil your quality of life.

whenever you feel a fit of despair coming on in response to the Wal-Mart that is planning to move next to Beeks in Montgomery County, Virginia, just close your eyes and be silent and listen. listen very very carefully.

even if you are living in far-off in Egypt or New Jersey or Sacramento, California, tuning in carefully to the Katuahnet will allow you to hear, if you are careful enough, the sound of at least one mountain laughing at The Man. learn this cool listening trick and you will never be caught on the Trail without ikigai.

bye, have a beautiful day, thanks for reading. -Suzy

Are you wearing your Fairy Flair?

hi all

hope you are well, and feeling well sheltered from the wealth trading frenzy that has been going on in the past few days. if your name is Taha I hope you are doing EXTRA well and having a most wonderful day. I got your letter, Taha...thank you!!

I found a neat book a year or so ago at the Green Star farm, this has to do with ghosts and fairies in the Celtic realm. these fairies are no joke yo. they are not going around sprinkling be-happy glitter in people's coffee and petting their unicorns, yo. the fairies described in this book are some bad mofos, water quality police that don't put you in jail, but instead swap your body with a shade or double to make your people think you are dead and gone so you can get tormented in the fairy realm. or, they will just beat the crap out of you.

they hate it, apparently, when foul water gets left around, and when kitchens are left dirty. in this respect they are a very useful entity to keep in mind because leaving your kitchen dirty is a terrible idea, especially if you observe Shouseki tabus, which say that you must leave your home, to the extent practical, in order which would fail to raise the eyebrow of a social worker who draws a paycheck from the United States tax base.

dirty dishes always get written up by social workers, yo. so take a tip from the fairies: sweep your kitchen, and don't ever keep funky water around, especially if it is located in a sink full of dirty dishes.

if you own no dishes, congratulations on keeping your dish cleaning situation in such tidy array!

I need to go now but I hope you have a wonderful day and don't cross paths with any grumpy fairies, unless you are both on your way to go have a word with The Man.

namaste, thanks for reading.

I'm from Diebold. Let me help you vote!

hi everyone
hope you are doing well

if you are looking for some clues as to whom Diebold will be selecting this November to lead the United States government please follow this link

personally, I doubt that Diebold has chosen Hillary for the leadership gig that starts after the voting-themed theatrics wrap up this November. it seems more likely to me that Diebold has someone else in mind, but who knows?

sh*t like this is why I am spending all my spare time these days learning how to become a non-English speaking subsistence farmer and/or sheepherder.

digg.com was the source for this article. I also found something on Digg yesterday that almost made me go barfola. it was a CNN clip about a super creepy bit of legislature which will pardon Bush and his administration from any future accountability for torture-related crimes.

one thing is for sure: the was-and-is-not-and-yet-is Beast is just as freakish and disturbing as the Bible promised it would be.

speaking of which, I need to go work on the Great Wall of Bibles now, if you have not yet "downloaded" info on how to participate in this cool public art project please stay tuned to the Katuahnet, where details will appear in short order.

bye, have a great day and thanks for reading. -Suzy

Crumble, crumble, crumble...

....That is the soundscape in Katuah today as more Massey news gets to the populace.

Vacations in Monaco together? Tsk, tsk.

Oopsie! There just went another big crumb from your consumer base. Zamamiro energy pushers!

Folks who have bet even a scrap of their wealth on the continued existence of this Armageddon-manifestin', hate-breeding rogue corporation should take a bit of time today to find a United States dollar so they can pay for their Ninja school textbook. It is high time folks like this did a little booklearnin'.

Folks who are already in possession of a Shouseki Ninja school textbook might wish to open it N-O-W and check out Proverbs 10:7.

Namaste, Suzy

hi everyone

hope you are doing well
the 16 Blocks event was most awesome, many thanks to all who made it so

I only have a bit of time to post right now but you should know that NAIS is in the Wired News.

I won't mince words: I am a NAIS hater. NAIS makes me glad that the Dollar Tree sells Bibles, because I am saving up my United States dollars to make a gigantic wall of them to keep NAIS supporters and other apocalypse enthusiasts at bay.

if this is a bit of infrastructure you would like to bring to your own neighborhood, please stay tuned and I will share some construction tips to help you and others in your community build your very own Great Wall of Bibles.

bye, have a wonderful day. -Suzy

hi everyone
hope your day is going beautifully

things here are fine, the snow is ultra-lovely, and deep.

this is an excellent day for river sculpting in Katuah. if you have not tried this neat endeavor yet you really should, especially if you have access to snow. when I get a bit of time I will publish info about the best way to sculpt a miniature river of H20 and risk-mitigating ikigai.

A snowstorm here means ( presumptively) that no babies, or very few babies, are situated within federally maintained public school buildings in the Raleigh County, West Virginia school district.

I love this!!! I hope that the babies who make the choice to go to back to school once the roads are clear will spend time doing some river sculptures on their school playground.

I need to go do chores now, have a wonderful day & thanks for reading. -Suzy

hi everyone

hope you are doing well and having a lovely 01-01-08
if today is the first day of school for you I wish you great success with your studies

Katuahnet school districts which border southwestern Virginia and eastern West Virginia should be advised that snow is likely today and tomorrow. in the interest of limiting the risk of death and injury resulting from this weather please try avoid the use of motor vehicles in this realm for the next few days, unless your field of study makes this impossible.

and as always, in the interest of minimizing brain damage and other harm to your children and the children of others, please do what you can to ensure that the United States public school system becomes accountable to the true needs of the residents of the communities it ostensibly serves. please notice the phrasing "do what you can", since this is a pretty monstrous goal.

if your family lacks the resources and time right now to do anything other than giving your young ones an un-public education, then by all means, do that, and know that you are actually contributing a lot toward accountability on the part of the United States public education system.

if you think that your family lacks the resources and patience to participate in an un-public schooling experience for your young ones, please think again, and seek out the resources that have been prepared in the Katuahnet for folks just like you.

I need to go get ready for the snow now but I wish you well and hope that this will be the first day of a very beautiful and blessed year for you and all your dear ones.

Namaste
Suzy

ps.

here is an article about Brattleboro, Vermont, a town which has called for the arrest of Bush and Cheney, citing war crimes.
