Notes for Tuesday – March 01, 2016

I was sad to hear that actor George Kennedy passed away on Sunday, at age 91, in Boise, Idaho.  He is most often remembered for his role in Cool Hand Luke, or perhaps in  The Flight of The Phoenix. But I best liked his role as “Red” in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. (The latter film showcased the scenery in Montana and Idaho. A lot of those towns haven’t changed much since the 1970s. This is the birthday of Brevet General Robert C. Buchanan of Mexican War and the U.S. Civil War fame, (b. 1811, d. 1878).  For his service at the …


Know Your Limits, by Molon Labe

In these times, there are many activities that we must train to be able to do, many skills we must know, and many tasks we are forced to accomplish to sustain our lives and those who we care about. In the days ahead, there will be even greater and more difficult things that we will have to do should a collapse or failure of civility occur to any degree in our area. Many things that are abhorrent to us may become required in order to righteously protect what is ours. Taking lives in the defense of our lives, our property, …


Letter Re: A Lesson from Fasting for Preparedness

Odds ‘n Sods:

Gadgets track wildlife, and enlighten humans o o o A recent headline: At least 1,818 Clinton emails contain classified material.  And of those, 50 were classified Secret or Top Secret (TS), and within the TS category 22 of the e-mails were “copy and paste” sections from Sensitive Compatmented Information (SCI) codeword material from Special Access Programs (SAPs)! As a former Special Security Officer (SSO) who was in charge of SCI document storage and SAP compartment program briefings and de-briefings, I am stunned to see that Hitlery Clinton still has not yet been charged.
