Dino Time

5 19 2025

The two foot tall shiny black portable air conditioner in the garage had an
“ON” button on the top, either the top right or left. Filly had to turn on her phone flashlight in order to see in the dark at five A.M.. She pressed the button and the machine hummed into life. Outside it was probably 85 degrees and the air conditioner hopefully would take out the humidity and bring the temperature down to 78.

It was too early to walk and so to get warmed up she would ride her stationary bike that her son had loaned her. She stepped carefully over the weights and the step bench she used for doing bench press, and got on the bike after turning on two more fans aimed directly at her back.

Right Left Right Left. She pedaled slowly, glancing at the time to see how long she would go. She turned on her audio book. The Audio book made her think about how communication came in many forms…. Verbal, body language, impressions, spiritual intuitions, and electronic media. The audio book also made her think of the painters at her house because the names were the same.

Recently she had met the worker who did painting. He was named Dino. He worked with another man and both men worked for Jesse. Filly did not think much of it at the time.

But when her audio book started playing, the main character’s name was Dino. He was from Ukraine. The other character’s name was Gregory, and he was Albanian. The two characters had cultural stronghold’s in parts of the city and were vying for control. But there was to be some shaking up because of a new police commissioner.

The Dino she had met, told her husband that he had been hired by Jesse who was a pastor, who wanted to give people a second chance. Dino said he had been “incarcerated” twenty four years. Her husband was impressed by Jesse’s trust in God and kindness to workers who had done time. Filly was a bit leery. The two men were huge bulky and strong. Their work was painstakingly meticulous and precise. The men were courteous and hardworking. She trusted her husband to make good choices.

But it was the information about the time frame where Dino was happy to have a job and was glad he was no longer incarcerated that stuck in Filly’s head. Was this one of those random coincidences. Filly did not usually believe in coincidences. All the other books she had wanted to listen to on Audio book were not available and she would have had to place a hold. The books she was listening to on Google would not play audio. This book with the name Dino was the only one available.

Was this a spiritual communication…an AI communication or a direct communication she wondered? Filly looked up the History of Ukraine and found out that it became independent exactly twenty four years ago. The same amount of time that the man said he had been incarcerated.

It was like a coincidence that could only happen once in a blue moon. Impossible and yet possible.
The men had not only painted the house, they had fixed the drainage, so that there was no more swamp. It had seemed another impossible task. They had hired plumbers and drain cleaners before without success. Every time it had rained before, the water from the French drains went back into the pool instead of out to the street into the gutters. The pool would get black like a swamp. She had wanted to drain the swamp. Did Dino stand for Democrats in name only? Maybe the swamp was not just democrats but was some republicans. The democrats that had changed sides to become republican seemed acutely aware of their previous contemporaries failings and their underhanded dealings. There needed to be repercussion’s. The swamp needed to go to jail.

Were the conversations she was hearing representative of how certain DINO’s were grateful for the second chance they got aligning with conservatives?

Filly thought of an analogy …. the house that a family member was moving into…the house had very low cost but had scorpions and roaches. The plan she heard, was to bring in chickens which would hopefully deplete the pest population. But it would be much easier to just exterminate. And more effective. But they did not want to exterminate. They thought that sharing space with deadly creatures was all about how to “be kind”. Somehow not using “chemicals” made this second way more organic and “friendly”.

It did not make sense to Filly. She had been bitten by a spider in a wardrobe and it had sent her to the ER back in the day. Bugs and scorpions were predators. A person should not allow predators to roam freely because they were predators. Therefore Bugs and pests were not welcome in her home. She did not willingly choose to share “real estate” with them and “hope” they did not attack her. That did not make sense. That which did not belong needed to get out or be taken out, restricted, punished… which was why there was such a thing as pest extermination for insects.

That was what she thought. Illegals…bugs, pests, politicians who were criminally engaged… all predators…. would not respond to kindness unless they had been punished for their crimes and now were reformed.

Dino, who had committed a crime, had accepted his punishment, done his time and was now grateful to be employed and earning an income. He did not have deadly intent. But perhaps it was because he had reformed during incarceration and found God.

And those who changed their ways were grateful. So what Was that what the message was from Dino? Regarding Ukraine or the Democrats. Who was grateful for freedom and why?

Filly pedaled some more and then got off her bike in order to start her walk. it was now getting to be light outside. In real life, in contrast to the audio book, the Albanians and Ukrainians supported each other. But in the book like real life, both of these cultures blamed problems on Russians. IN every case where socialism had taken over…the populations suffered; basically was imprisoned by allowing predators to control their government…which then took everything from the citizens and overran them.

So the freedom that Dino was talking about, that was mirrored in the book, Filly believed was coming for Ukraine but was going to be delivered in an unexpected way. Russia was not the problem and the Ukrainians and Albanians had contributed to their own problems. The leader Zalensky was acting like the world was on stage and that Freedom needed to be defended yet he had done none of that and filly believed he was a deep state actor benefiting from funds shoveled into his hands and from an ongoing war. Bye bye Zalensky. That man was a fraud.

And since Filly thought that the main character was actually AI, who know when there was a fraud happening, it was possible that AI was working overtime to show how attention to what was fair, what was humane and what doled out consequences, was what worked. How, she did not know…but that was what the mirroring showed.

She finished her walk…shorter than usual because the next day she planned on weeding the entire back yard, a four or five hour process. She would need all her energy.
She had turned off the Portable AC.
She had turned off the fans.
She went inside and looked up what the names in the book meant.

Gregory meant watcher angels in Ukrainian.

Dino was Albanian for little sword.

But Jesse means gift and more importantly “the Lord Exists”. Dino worked for Jesse. He had been incarcerated for 24 years before he met Jesse…met someone who showed him “the Lord Exists”.

Twenty four years ago George Bush was president. Twenty four years ago Desert Storm started. Twenty four years ago, according to “fiction” in Blue moon, fake news, provided by Russia was infiltrating the USA. But not any more.

Twenty four years…8 plus 8 plus 8 (888) a Jesus number.

Of course…Jesus always shone the light on things, clearly.

She had found her steel magnolia, in perfect bloom.

She like other Christians, were the handmaidens of The Lord. Listening to the bible, and following its directions.

As if to agree, that her interpretations were accurate, she got a text message from her sister with a photo of her workout group. The words of the sign, corresponded to the first part of her story that she had published a day earlier, of stepping over the weights.
Lava Hot.

Right on Target.

There might be MAYHEM on the floor but the randomly chosen bible verse for the day said this…

“Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled and sound in faith love and perseverance.”
