Who knows
Edited Repost: Facade, and Subsance
Author’s Note: this is a minor re-write of a previous article posted about 5 ½ years ago. I thought it was apropos today. —– Today is Veteran’s Day. Well, this is my Veteran’s Day article. It’s probably somewhat different than the norm. Maybe you’ll read it and think this is appropriate for today; […]
Update on the Polish bomb defusal – Ka-BOOOM
?? I talked about this story yesterday. The plan was to have the bomb defused by the end of the week. Either the bomb or the technicians thought it could be done way faster. Luckily nobody was hurt. The biggest World War Two bomb ever found in Poland exploded under water on Tuesday as navy divers tried […]
Hundreds evacuated as Polish divers begin high-risk bomb defusal
Recent dredging operations turned up a 12,000 pound WWII bomb lodged (and still active) in the mud of a channel in the Baltic Sea on the Polish coast. The bomb, a “Tallboy” of British design and use, was an “earthquake” bomb, what we’d now call a bunker buster. The bombs were hardened with a thick […]

A Saturday Morning Tune
Another fine older tune – and one with which I think we can all likely identify. No other explanation or comment necessary. Have a fine weekend, all. And be careful out there.
Let’s laugh at some Commies

They’re stealing the mailboxes!
Remember the United States Postal Service? That group of mail carriers that nobody thought much of any more. They’ve been in the red for decades now, and both sides of the aisle think it’s an issue. One thing the postal service has been doing the last several years is cut back on un-needed services. Routes […]
