Untitled #1

Mostly chores and a bit of school work defined this weekend. I turned over the garden this weekend, and mowed the lawns. With a warm-ish week, the lawns both grew quite a bit. Washed the car, cleaned and organized in the house today. Tired and a bit sore, and debating whether to clean out the front beds, or wait for the first frost. I'm leaning towards the latter right now. * * * Our condolence to the families, friends, and units of these fallen warriors: Pvt. Danny Chen, 19, of New York, died Oct. 3 in Kandahar province, Afghanistan. Lance…

Day and Duty

The day was successful, in that everything that needed doing got done. Shopping, coffee roasting, further research for school project, school work, lots of dog walking. Additionally, more of Marcia's wall-mounted shelving started auto-detaching. So I pulled the balance off and patched the holes. I purchased two more 4' wide x 6' tall wire rack units (6 shelves each) to put into that space, and assembled them. Marcia's already started reorganizing all that fabric onto the new storage. * * * I was looking at the flow chart that SF Signal created for the NPR Top 100 Science Fiction and Fantasy…

Sunday

School work and work around the house, along with remote systems work both days made for a long weekend. World economic news is depressingly awful, and sadly, our losses in Iran and Afghanistan still mount. Our condolences to the families and units of these fallen warriors: Sgt. Garrick L. Eppinger Jr., 25, of Appleton, Wisconsin, died Sept. 17 in Parwan province, Afghanistan. Spc. Chazray C. Clark, 24, of Ecorse, Michigan, died Sept. 18 in Kandahar province, Afghanistan, of injuries suffered when insurgents attacked his unit using an improvised explosive device. Staff Sgt. Estevan Altamirano, 30, of Edcouch, Texas, died Sep.

Another Week Down

A very social day today - a company picnic this afternoon, and Linda Rose brought Mike over for pizza and an episode of BAB5. I only wish I felt good ... but I don't. Not sure what ails (I probably ate too much!), but I'm not going to let it slow me much. * * * Our condolences to the families and units of these fallen warriors:

Ten Years

Ten years ago, 2, 997 people lost their lives at the hands of 19 Islamic hijackers wielding four airplanes as weapons against the towers at the World Trade Center, at the Pentagon, and at a field in Pennsylvania. We are heavily invested in two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as a result of that attack. Neither of those nations were the prime supporters of the hijackers. While those wars may be justified (or not), and ultimately successful (or not), we have a job left undone ... probably due to pathological political and religious correctness. The "good news", such as it…
