Workin’ On the Railroad – Some Saturday Fun
This post is prompted by simple curiosity. Judging by handles and, maybe prompted by a comment or two, many of us seem to have held interesting post-service jobs. One of the elements that defines a stint in the military is what happens next. TAH has invested mightily in the PTSD phonies, and that lot. But […]
The Best Laid Plans…
First and foremost, nobody was physically hurt in this incident, but I gotta believe that there WAS some fervent finger pointing in the aftermath. Warwick Castle cannonball show sets fire to medieval boathouse. “Hundreds of tourists have been evacuated from Warwick Castle after a burning cannonball fired from the world’s largest working siege machine destroyed […]
Must Be A Terrorist
Oh wait… It was religious. This may well be the strangest story I’ve come across in some time. I DO like silly, but this… I’m at a loss. “A former girlfriend testified last year that Harris told her he shot Gerety in the stomach, tortured him for two days, then cut off his head. Prosecutors […]

Orwell had just published his groundbreaking […]
Just In Case Ya Missed It…
Today is a “special” day. Among many it means little, still it matters to some. “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day is Monday” For those who haven’t heard my grumps… I was spit at and called a “baby killer” when I came through SFO in ’69 while in uniform. The first welcome I experienced was in […]
Paranoia Strikes Deep
There’s a story that has been showing up on the web that has some folks in a tizzy. Operation Jade Helm is to get underway in July.

Why Not
At this point we don’t know what has become of Jonn and TSO. I’ll admit I was considering some sillier options, but I realized there is an anthem of sorts that defines TAH. So I’ll offer this tune without pages of elaboration. If this song doesn’t capture us and those like us, I’m in the […]
