Pointless blather
Well, The Formula Did Need to Be Completed
Something recently reminded me of a military training class I was in many years ago – taught in the Army – concerning field first aid. Like most, it was pretty much your standard, boring Army class. But it did have one moment that made it an absolute gem. The instructor was going over how to […]
Remembrance of Elections Past
In “loving” memory of the Duke of Duval, Landslide Lyndon, Da Mayor and his Daley Machine, JFK/1960 – and with apologies to the late Warren Zevon: They Vote When They’re Dead There’s plenty to do after they buy the farm They vote when they’re dead Who says it’s wrong?

The UK’s Telegraph Travel might not be able to see a problem. But I think I can.
