Unfortunately, the Army UH-60s and AF UH-1s on the NCR have all been doing a lot of training flights lately where they follow the Beltway. So you be getting triggered often.

Must be the Iranians trying to herd us onto another platform. Think we were limiting the reach of their LEGO videos.

Death was always a special character for me but became my #1 as I dealt with the death of a young friend. She was 30 and dying of cancer. I had watched her grow from a child. The last time we gathered I asked her which version of Death she expected to greet her and IT WAS HIM. GNU Kay.

Incubus went there first with Anna Molly, so why not?

IR was always built on shaky foundations that only got weaker after the Cold War. You had two camps: the traditional historical case study crowd like Kissinger and the quantitative crowd that thought stats would solve everything.

Turns out the world is an incredibly complex system.

Follow the urge. Nephew is a FF. When my mother died, his truck crew came to the wake. No sooner do they go thru the line than all of my nephews and their kids are outside the funeral home crawling over the Fire Truck.
