Erich's Rants, Ideas, and Satire.
Rant The Home Page

      03-01-2026 13:30 I added a new rant to the Politics Dropdown Menu. It's titled "The Fleecing of America"

      This is a continual rant section about observations, feelings, ideas, thoughts and things that come up in my life, etc.

      01-27-2026 18:30 To me the defense of this country will always be assigned to The Department of Defense, not this Department of War.  That is just too militiristic sounding and not the kind of sign we should be giving the rest of the world.  As President Reagan used to say "The United States Is A Beacon of Light"

      01-21-2026 17:00 I made some changes to the software to create an easier reading environment.  Teri and I are still alive. Our health is fair.

      10-01-2025 04:30 It's been another bloody hot summer.  Russia is now attacking NATO, they used drones on a NATO Air Base in Denmark.  Russia is foolish to take on NATO

      04-11-2025 07:30 It's disheartening to watch the United State being dismantled.  It's also scary to know that there isn't a legal system any longer.  The people need to start a separate legal system, one that follows the original constitution, not this perversion that the billionares have put together.  First they screw the working people by passing NAFTA, there goes a shit load of wealth to other countries.  The reduction in the U.S. tax base resulted in the federal government borrowing money to pay their bills, and who did they borrow most of it from, Communist China.  The very country that stole from America, is now screwing us even more by getting $800 Billion in interest payments annually.  Now that the U.S. Government is essentially broke, they are cutting the government agencies, workers, etc.  Anyone who isn't kissing the ass of the billionares.  The social security fund is depleted because our government spent the social security income by including it in the general fund.  So the billionares are going to screw multi-millions of people by reneging on their legal contract to pay the elderly what they earned by working all their life.  Since the government can't meet it's financial obligations, then they can pause paying other countries, we the American People should come first.

      03-04-2025 06:00 I emailed Oklahoma Senator Langford a copy of my rant on the slaughter of the innocent.

      02-28-2025 17:30 I added a new rant in the politics section dealing with the government raping Medicaid and Social Security Recipients.  Now that business has taking all the money they can from The U.S. Treasury and the government doesn't have much left, they are now taking money away from the disabled and handicapped.  I guess Senator McConnel is going to win.  He feels that we have outlived our usefullness and should be left to die.  The Slaughter of the Innocent

      02-21-2025 05:30 For the last couple of weeks I've been working on my websites.  I changed my hosting package and also basically retired two websites.  The Colorado Perceptions website is now redirected to my new website Technology Perceptions.  The Colorado Slim website is now redirected to my Erich Carlson website.  

      11-26-2024 20:30 The Governor of Oklahoma has stated that he's waiting for trump to get in office so he can use the U.S. Military against all the people who have come up from the south.  This is wrong.  So typical of the United States, one president envites people in, the next president throws them out.  What a bunch of fucking communists.  I don't think the U.S. Military should follow what I consider to be an unlawful order.  This is part of the trump dictatorship.  So when are they going to use the military against us?  This could very well be the start of civil war.  As Senator McConnel states, the elderly people have outlived their usefullness and should be left to die.

      11-23-2024 06:00 The Prairie Dogs at Elmer Thomas Park in Lawton have been running around their since I was a kid.  They should be allowed to continue to do so, they are a part of a Lawton tradition.

      11-16-2024 10:00 trump is demanding that the senate take extended recess so he can get his appointments in without approval.  This fits with his dictatorship plans to start his communist regime.

      10-29-2024 10:30 The bloody summer heat is finally over.  I sure missed the cool weather of Colorado.  I decided to go back to work and got a job a couple of months ago.  Nice to be out of the house and working again.  It's supposed to rain tomorrow night, sure would be nice.

      10-06-2024 08:00 I've been reading The Oklahoman newspaper about the $6 million dollars that is being spent on bibles for the class room.  And now there is a so called 'trump bible'.  Knowing what I know about religion in Oklahoma, it makes me concerned about the intentions of what appears to be the creation of a State of Oklahoma Religion by the oklahoma legislature.  Pretty Bazaar!

      09-04-2024 08:30 I finished making the upgrades to the picture gallery software.  Some nice enhancements to include indicating the number of pictures for the gallery and a short discripion indicating what the picture is about.  For the autobiography area, I've added a 'Previous Chapter' and 'Next Chapter' feature to aid in reading the book.

      08-23-2024 21:30 The last few weeks it's been to bloody hot at over 110 degrees to work outside for very long.  So I decided to update and enhance the software that runs my websites.  I'me done with the video display software and have also redone the picture gallary software that will provide alt tags programmatically and is faster.  The enhancements will provide better search engine optimization, making it easier for people to find my websites.  It's taking some time to get all the picture galleries moved over, but should have it all done in a few weeks.

      08-04-2024 05:00 I subscribed to the Lawton Constitution recently and read that Senator Inhofe had died.  That's sad.  He was a good man!

      07-21-2024 13:30 I added a new section in SCOTUS called 'Constitutional Amendments'.

      07-21-2024 13:30 For people living in states with a write-in ballot.  Write me in for President! :)  I'm the only candidate that will stop the practice of killing.  I'm the only candidate that will represent all the people, irregardless of party.  I'm the only candidate that feels that freedom is the most important thing for people, all people, irregardless of what nation they live in.  I'm the only candidate that will stop parties from mapping and controlling people's lives.  I'm the only candidate that believes that one man's rights stop, where another's begins.  I'm the only candidate who believes that all people have the intrinsic right to live free.

      07-21-2024 10:30 My elephant ears are getting big.  One of the leaves is almost three feet.  Because of the extreme heat, I'm having to water them twice a day.

      07-19-2024 13:00 I woke up early this morning at 3:30, kind of typical, since I suffer from insomnia.  I had the living room window open, since we had unusually cool temparatures.  I was working on my master control program software that runs my websites, when I get a text from Synchrony Bank about fradulent activity on one of my credit cards.  Around the same time, I hear a voice down the street that Musk did it.  I called the number and spoke with the fraud unit.  Evidently someone had tried to change some information on one of my accounts with them.  We had a talk about who could have possibly done this.  Well, I'm getting a new card.

      07-19-2024 07:30 I added a new section in Legalities called 'A Political Week'.

      07-18-2024 13:30 The grass seed I planted out back was growing well, nice and green.  But then it started raining so much, it started to drown. Then it got extremely hot and now it's dead.  Oh well, I'll plant some more later this fall.  Besides all that, I spent the last week working on various projects inside my house.  To damn hot outside to work out there.

      04-25-2024 18:00 Now that it's gotten warm, I've been busy painting my house and putting in some new windows.  It's starting to look killer, got more upgrades coming in future months.  I cleaned up the backyard and planted grass seed.  It's looking a lot better now.  And Ghost really loves her yard.

      02-29-2024 14:30 Happy Leap Year!  Things are moving along with my new house.  Made a lot of improvements to the bathroom, fixtures, cabinets, paint, killer exhaust fan.

Spring is coming in, much earlier here in Oklahoma versus Colorado.  Got some grass seed spread out.  Got my house plants outside.  I'm really enjoying living in a house again and having a big fenced yard.  A local friend from wayback gave me a couple of Leopard Gecko's and a Crested Gecko.  They're some pretty neat lizards.  Got my eyes examined, going to have to have cataracts removed.  Oh joy on that.

      02-16-2024 08:35 I installed a new section of kitchen cabinet this passed week.

      02-08-2024 07:00 As SCOTUS prepares to hear the Colorado case removing trump from the ballot for the January 6th insurrection, I have to think back to 2017, when I and others learned of it.  Why didn't anyone do anything about it to begin with?  It's pretty sad that our federal governemnt is so broken, that even with advanced warning, they are incapable of doing anything.  I'd like to see Colorado win this, because it would at least give me some hope that we have a valid federal government.

      02-07-2024 22:00 I got a lot done this past week.  One was installing a vinyl floor in my new shed.  This should help waterproof it.  Plus it looks cool!

      01-09-2024 21:15 I finished installing security cameras.  It's nice to be able to keep an eye on things from my sofa.

      01-09-2024 21:00 I planted a dogwood tree and a spirea bush in my front yard.  I had these in pots when I lived in Colorado.  They were root bound, which will accelerate their growth as spring comes in.  Just like I said.

      12-30-2023 04:00 I did a quick search on threats by trump supporters and it is alarminly scary.  This brings up the question in my mind.  Why hasn't the Department of Justice done anything?  Why hasn't SCOTUS?  Why hasn't Congress, the Senate, the President, local judges, or anyone else?  As the 2024 election begins, how many people are going to be murdered, threatened, etc by radical criminal trump supporters?  With trump now saying if he wins that he is going to be a dictator from day one, what does that mean for American Citizens?  To be a dictator generally means that people have to be forced to comply or else face death, prison, etc.  This is what it means to live under a dictatorship.

      12-26-2023 07:00 I left Fremont County Colorado because of the lack of legal and law enforcement protections.  I left Colorado, not because I didn't like it, I actually like the state.  I left because of the lack of affordable housing.  Furthermore, I've come to the conclusion that the legal system in the United States is only for the legal system itself and for the criminals.  I've never been able to even get an attorney in this country.  Now that I've reached the age of 65, I've decided to terminate with the legal and law enforcement system.  I don't feel they are worth the effort.  I'll no longer call the police for anything, I'll take care of problems myself.  I will no longer serve on jury duty.  Since the United States will never help me with my legal concerns, then I'm not willing to help them with theirs either.  Watching all the crimes that's been committed by an ex-president has finally convinced me that the legal system is totally broken and has become in itself a danger to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

      12-26-2023 07:00 I finished my shed yesterday and moved my tools into it.

      12-21-2023 19:00 Making progress in getting my shed done.  I've still got the floor to put in.

      12-19-2023 07:00 I purchased a 10'x14' metal shed and have been putting it together.  Hopefully be done with the roof today.

      12-19-2023 07:00 Before I drove back to Colorado to get the rest of my possesions, I decided to change the brakes on my pickup.  I purchased brake pads for all four wheels.  I started on the driver side front.  When I took the caliper off, a nail fell out.  There were big gouges in the caliper.  So I went and purchased new calipers for both front wheels.  I remembered later what a neighbor in Colorado had hollered down the street, that there was a nail in the brakes.  So someone in Colorado was trying to cause a fatel wreck.  You failed asshole.

      11-20-2023 07:00 I drove to Colorado last week.  I rented a 26' U-Haul Truck and a U-Haul Car Transport Device.  The truck was packed and completely full.  Driving over The Raton Pass was slow going at 25 mph, but I made it safely over it.  After that it was smooth sailing all the way to Southwest Oklahoma.  Nothing broke including the two big televisions.  I was wondering how they'd manage.

      11-09-2023 12:00 I had a natural gas line installed for the gas dryer, so the laundry room is all set.  Tuesday a new roof was put on because of a hail storm prior to our purchase.

      11-09-2023 10:00 Ghost really enjoys her new bed!


      10-30-2023 05:00 We're getting settled in our new home.  It's really nice living in a house again.  Our dog Ghost was so happy when we moved in.  She ran around the yard, ran around the house, while howling with joy.  We're in the process of getting our home comfortable.  Purchased a gas range like the one we had in Colorado.  Got a killer fridge with a ice and water dispenser in the front of the refrigerator.  Got some new living room furniture.  My reptiles made it safely without a problem.  We're very happy with our new home.

      10-10-2023 13:30 My wife and I sold our home in Colorado and bought a house in Oklahoma.

      09-14-2023 10:00 I updated the 'No Vote' rant located in the Politics dropdown menu.

      09-12-2023 14:45 I went to the hospital in the springs yesterday.  They just wanted to test my pacemaker, to make sure it's functioning properly.  It tested just fine.  I explained why my heart rate showed as 330 beats per minute, that it's due to the neighbors.  She explained that it's the top part of the heart beating that fast, as if it were the lower part, that I would be dead.  She also said the daily readings show spikes in my heart rate.  I explained that it's due to the neighbors.  Overall I checked out pretty good.  Of course, my beautiful and loyal wife Teri was there with me.  She's such a good person.  I just hope we can sell our home, so we can move to area where we can live around descent people.

      09-12-2023 14:30 My wife and I have been trying to sell our home.  We've had it with all the verbal abuse that comes from the neighbors.  It puts me in a moral delima.  Should I warn perspective buyers of the shit in this neighborhood?  I actually feel I should.  It's going to make it harder to sell, when perspective buyers realize what kind of hell they'll be moving into.

      09-12-2023 14:00 I've been working on my pickup today, working on the suspension system.  Damn air shocks are dead, and no replacement available.  Of course Laura in B12 is trying to cause some shit again.  Go ahead and laugh for whatever fucked up reason you're laughing about.  I know what kind of cow you are.  And Sharon, we know you don't care about Teri and I, so don't bother waving to her.  And Laura, you're obviously trying to start a problem again, as I've heard your remarks for the last few weeks.  You're such an abusive person, there is absolutely nothing good about you or your husband.  You two are fucking evil.  And you're right Laura, I am ignoring you, so as you can read, I heard you!

      09-10-2023 10:45 I've been open carrying a firearm for the last couple of weeks now.  It's went just fine.  I'm familiarizing myself with the stores that are comfortable with me entering their business with a gun.  Of course, their is no opencarry in government places or the post office.  I feel more comfortable with my wifes and I's safety.  My wife will probably be open carrying soon also.  Hopefully we will never encounter a situtation where it will be necessary to use a gun, but as life as taught me, shit happens.

      09-10-2023 10:30 Watching the federal election take place, it really disgusts me with all the crime that trump has committed, and it really disgusts me that the GOP will in anyway support him.  I was a republican for the last four decades, but I have abandoned them because I don't feel that this is what I would consider to be the republican party.  So I'm going with President Biden on his reelection.  The republican party as I once new is gone.

      09-10-2023 10:30 I took my home off the for sale market today.  Hopefully the economy will improve.

      09-03-2023 06:00 I added a rant on gun safety.  It's in the Personals tab above.

      08-24-2023 09:00 I was having problems with my heart earlier this year.  My primary care doctor refered me to a local cardiologist, long story short, I now have a pacemaker.  My pacemaker is monitored 24/7, it's heart data is uploaded daily.  In mid June my heart was set off due to a comment from a neighbor.  When I got my results in July, the data showed that my heart went to an incredable 330 beats per minute.  It's unreal how that feels, and is not the first time that some neighbors have caused this condition.  Hopefully I don't have a heart attack.

      08-24-2023 06:00 Because of all of the violent crimes taking place across America, the daily mass shootings, as well as, the possibility of political violence I have decided to exercise my 2nd Amendment Right to openly carry a firearm.  I am totally in conformance with both federal law and state law.  Things have gotten to be too unpredictable in American society.

      08-17-2023 12:30 It was reported on the news last Sunday morning, that political violence has entered into the mainstream of America.  That there are an estimated 30 million republican voters who feel it is necessary to use violence in order to stop donald trump.  This tells me some things, namely, no way can trump win with this many people after him.  And it tells me that he is a dead man walking.  Somebody will kill him.

      08-05-2023 23:00 I've made a lot of changes to the software that runs my webpages.  If the software is showing signs of display issues, then delete your web browsers cache directory.

      07-31-2023 07:00 I was at the grocery store the other day to get some toilet paper.  I walked in and there was some right at the beginning of the aisle.  I was standing behind this man waiting in line.  We were chatting, and I said my wife and I were out and she said "We need toilet paper"  I said "No Shit" and then she said "That's Right".  He got a chuckle out of it.

      07-25-2023 13:00 The heating of the planet is going to get worse as the years go by.  Heat related deaths will rise.  There is going to develop a problem of having enough drinkable water and water for crops.  The governments, both state and federal should seed the clouds and make it rain.  The rain would generate plant growth, carbon based plant life absorbs heat.  Like a green yard versus a concrete driveway, the lawn is always cooler  Done on a large scale, it's possible to cool an entire state, or the entire country!

      05-12-2023 03:00 When I moved to Canon City in 2015, I wanted to live in a nice quiet area in a small town in the mountains.  I've enjoyed all the many lakes and areas throughout Colorado, especially fishing.  Colorado really is very beautiful.  Medical conditions came upon me, which I didn't expect.  I didn't expect to be handicapped.  I had planned on finding work in the Springs.  That's life, as Murphy's Law has demonstrated, "if anything can go wrong, it will."  As they say, "Shit happens."  Another adventure lies ahead.  I'm sure I don't have too many adventures left.  I'm proud that I've lived my entire life trying to treat people right and associating with good people.  What's gotten me through life is myself and my belief in goodness.
