Tomorrow . . . Isn’t Guaranteed

I wasn’t sure whether I would publish this article or not. But after letting it sit for a while, I decided I’d go ahead and do so. It’s short. And the subject isn’t pleasant. But IMO it’s important. . . . I “lost” someone very close recently. With one exception, I’m not going to discuss […]

Four from the Road

There seems to be nothing new from DPAA this past week in terms of MIA accounting. So here’s something off-topic in place of the usual Sunday “No Longer Missing” article. Longtime readers know I travel a bit. And last month’s trip was a long one – long, as in well over 6,000 mi over a […]

Makin’ Movies of Themselves

We give Hollywood (and much of the rest of the entertainment industry) well-deserved grief for generally being a bunch of self-centered left-leaning j-holes unconcerned with reality.

So, Just When Were “Vietnam Times”, Anyway?

The phrase “Vietnam Times” was recently used by someone involved in an incident that made the various national news services. (Quite predictably, the incident initially was rotated markedly and rapidly counterclockwise – e.g., to the left, as viewed from above – thanks to our “oh so impartial” news media.) And I’m fairly sure the term […]

“. . . a triumph of love against evil and truth against lies.”

Looks like DPAA is on hold with respect to accounting for US personnel MIA due to the government shutdown. So this article will have to do this weekend in place of the usual “No Longer Missing” feature. Hopefully we’ll get back to normal and see more MIAs accounted for soon. . . . What follows […]

Accidents Will Happen . . .

. . . and sometimes, they’re good things. Especially when they result in something special. DPAA had nothing new this week. So today, here’s a short “musical interlude” instead. . . . Accidents happen all the time in recording studios. Usually they are edited out during production, but some are deliberately left in place in […]

Merry Christmas – Redux

A paraphrased repeat from a year ago. Well, once again we’re “enjoying” participating in that annual ritual called “Holiday Travel” – and it’s now Christmas Day. So I decided to repost what I thought was some appropriate Christmas music for our readers. Yeah, the tune here was indeed written by one of the original hippies […]
