Groundhog Day

That pretty much sums up the International situation. We won’t belabor our distant appreciation for what must be an excruciating time in the diplomatic circles attempting to deal with the maundering of the militants and the graceful decisive posturing by the President. The IRGC militants are holding out for the Mid-terms to weaken Mr. Trump. […]

Deirdre’s Afternoon Special: The Parmesan Project

(Shush! Don’t tell Miles! He had a hoo-hah this morning about what got sent instead of the approved copy he sent over for approval. That let the whole Crestive Section spin off on a truly lovely late May Day. So, I have a chance to do my own Daily, and i thought I would do […]

The Next Act

Morning, Gentle Readers! More noise from the Mid-East is competing with noise from the Texas primary elections down south. Mr Trump did well in his endorsements and that may impact his strategy in the Iran conflict. In our National Partisan conflict, the Left has been using the line that Trump cannot complete the Epic Fury […]

Honoring Eids

This came in from Reverend Frank’s crew who are looking for an Assimilated Islamic adherent with Special Operations experience to deepen our non-secular bench by hightlighting days of significance in places we have to go. Opinions are, of course, those of an independent contractor provided by a non-by a non-profit organization recognized under applicable tax […]

This morning featured a tough production meeting at the Socotra House Creative Section. Some of our Boomers have been wrestling with some of the issues involved in seizing islands, interdicting large ships or hunting mines for longer than most have been alive.

Self Defense and Scampi

We had a nice technical piece that was going to unveil one of our raare msitakes here in the Creative Section at Socotra House. We thought we had a hot lead a month ago about what would happen if the Iranians ran out of oil storage and had to stop pumping it out of the […]

About Those Pork Chops…

Buc-ee’s, Electric Cars, Bulk Parmesan and the Great Holiday Pork Summit We very nearly failed to finish the holiday with the recipe we have been talking about for three days. And the things it got hung up on include Buc-Ee’s — a massive chain of travel-center gas stations we had never heard of before the […]

Peace and Pork

We wanted to take the pork chop concept up a level in our Saturday Afternoon outing yesterday. Instead, Peace threatened to break out in the Mid-East and there is talk about what the Mid-East is going to look like if Iran is neutralized for a while. And the new rivalry may run down between the […]

Peace, Mayne, and DIERDRE’S PARMESAN CRUSTED PORK CHOPS

PRESENTED BY KEITH Inline image Dierdre is off on what she hopes will be a sunnier Memorial Day up in her home state of Michigan. That left Keith, her volunteer Sous Chef, Camping Department Deputy in Charge (SCCD-DIC,Vol). We start with a tip: if it looks like the world might be in a period of […]

Our View from Eternity

The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) approved the arch design- whew- so Miles assigned Vic to bring you up to speed on what is going on over by where some of our remains will spend eternity. He immediately conned Keith into doing it and I got to type. So, for Vapor, Rocket, Splash, Miles, […]
