Old barn in Vermont.

[Your Old Comrade]

70 years old man and his son splitting stone (granite) for our new workshop foundations. They are the last know stone splitters in our region.

People should support their local economy and local community. They can do this by gathering local natural building materials (such as stone, clay, wood, lime, sand). They can do this by hiring local craftsmen (meaning supporting their families) to split the rocks, carpenters to build the log walls and roofers to put the slate or shingle roof on. They should do this instead of buying imported man made building materials in a store, paying unknown corporations and companies and hiring expensive construction company workers to put all this crap together.

That is why we have crisis in our economy, because we have a crisis in our narrow minded minds and we have become blind to see what our ancestors saw, what they built and how they lived… That is why our countryside is dying and the craftsmen along with it, because we support corporations and their brain washing machine when we should be supporting each other.

[Your Old Comrade]

A wounded soldier on a stretcher is carried into a terrible field hospital. The young Confederate prisoner is with them. Amidst the terrible screams and cries emerging from the operating room in the nearby barn, nurses tend to and scurry about the wounded, men talk and banter as a wheelbarrow of arms and legs, and another dead soldier, move past. Our wounded solider gets bad news from the surgeon — his leg must be amputated — and he pleas for another option as he’s deliriously carried into the operating room.

The filmer describes the incident:

@BearTownDiaries

I followed this bear for over 2 hours while it roamed around the neighborhood. It had strolled down this particular street past multiple houses before this happened. I had no idea anyone was about to appear around the corner. I was as surprised as everyone watching this. However, as a professional videographer I kept calm and kept filming. It was obvious this bear was not a threat!

When you lose a match in America:

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly made a strange joke during the postgame interview when talking about his team's ability to execute during the game against Florida State when he said "our entire team needs to be executed after tonight." Notre Dame defeated Florida State in an overtime thriller 41-38.
