The wife and I stepped out a little to eat and get a few groceries. Did I mention it was already cold and, according to the weatherman, the cold has not really arrived yet.
Just don’t like cold. In a way, it’s odd, cold is not a form of energy. It is rather the lack of heat.
So that’s the problem. It is not the cold moving into the Midsouth, but the fact that so much heat will be leaving.
Somehow, that don’t help the chills in my old bones.
A while ago, there was a writing prompt about long life. I was flippant. I said it sounds like a good idea to me.
I thought it over. Those children who are aborted, killed, don’t live long. It has made me wonder, “Does anybody care?”
Hi ho Crackers. That or roasted peanuts. Oh yes. Let’s not forget cashews by the pound. Why did I start that. I am getting hungry.
For those who don’t understand, that means she hates Jews. That means when others try to remove all jews from the earth, they would like to assist those doing the killing. Mitchell and others like her will answer, not from me. God doesn’t need any help from me.
Anytime I get the chance I get the chance, I ask police officers what will happen when they have to go to electric police cars. I do consider it a valid question. According to them that knows, gas cars will all be phased out of existence by 2030.
Every official quickly dismissed my question out of hand. I agree. I don’t think we will go to electric police cars. However, at this point, I see no way to avoid it. If Detroit stops building internal combustion engines, I see but 2 ways to keep the gas guzzlers on the highway. 1. Build their own. 2. Keep repairing the old ones.
So, I am forced back to the question. What happens when Detroit is forced into going all electric?
I can’t remember for sure, but it seems to me that we have had no general officers since Vietnam who had more than 4 stars. On the other hand, the Memphis chief of police has 5. How does she rate? Sounds like an ego trip to me.
The weatherman says he’s not sure that it will snow but he said it will be cold. I wonder jf he realizes that is no way to make friends and influence enemies.
Well, one good thing. My almost new electric car has electric seats and steering wheel.
Sometimes, I repeat myself. Sometimes, I consider it important. When asked why I joined the Marines, I frequently say, because when I share a foxhole, I want that other guy to be the best trained man possible. That means he needs to be a marine. Army, Navy, Air Force won’t do. I want that man to know how to use a rifle. It just might help my chances of survival.
To take it a few steps further, it won’t help me if he is Black, Purple, Red or Blue. My only concern is, is he able and willing to fire his weapon when the enemy starts trying to overrun our position.
All the rules of equality, as far as I am concerned mean nothing to me when that other man’s skill with an M16 just might keep me alive.
When talking foxholes, it’s easy to remember the importance of excellence. However, it does become easy to overlook excellence when building houses, cars, or planes. I mean, when you are at 35 thousand feet, just how important is that mechanics abilities with that plane you’re comfortably traveling at 400 mph. Does equality really matter so much when your plane starts falling apart?
Excllence suddenly gets important when that pilot needs to land that plane in a storm at 150 mph. Most anyone can land that thing in good weather when everything on the plane is working right.
Did I mention I was in the Marines. Whilst serving, there was a thing or two I learned. One of those things is that a squadron commanding officer must remain in contact with the squadron at all times.
It just so happened, as a l/cpl, E3, I had to to call the CO, a Lt. Col. Needless to say, it was not something I was used to doing everyday. He answered. I explained the reason for the call. He thanked me. That was that.
When the sec. of defense went missing for three days, just what would have happened if someone called to say we just lost an air craft carrier and there was no one but some seaman, E3 to take the call?
