We appreciate that there are some who rely on current commentary from the Creative Section at Socotra House, LLC, so here it is as we have some monumental developments in our fifteen-minutecounties. So, the War is doing OK, the was just announced “open” by somebody in Tehran, and things are breaking today, but things also […]

BAMN! We are starting a little ragged this morning. There is, of course, good news and bad news. Miles was accustomed to that from his days running a Navy Patrol squadron, but the swirl of recent reporting about politicians who have “Flirty” issues had everyone on edge. We had not heard that term for what […]

Yep. There is a lot in progress. The more we hear about the Swalwell thing the less we think of a political system that let the creep get ahead. Even at this distance, we knew he was a creep with the Chinese Spy thing six years ago. And the revelation by Accuser #5 Lonna Drewes. […]

OK, it is going to be hard to keep this short but we plan on going out for a picnic baccanale on the grounds near the broken asphalt across from the entrance. We are pleased that we have most of the answers. Here they are, if you are in a Tuesday rush: 1. Swalwell and […]

Miles looked at the unusually large crowd in the Conference Room. Watch sections Alpha and Bravo overlapped—one coming, one going—while Charlie lingered out by the Jacuzzi.

This slide summarizes our extensive research into the session of talks in Islamabad which had lasted nearly a full day with the bearded U.S. Vice President looking across the table at bearded Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi. Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff was freshly shaven, bringing a touch of the old formal world of diplomacy to […]

This stunning graphic is one Splash did before falling asleep shortly after the Artemis II crew entered that blue triangle recovery cone on the chart above. Our section Leader Miles assigned the observation to Splash from Watch Section Bravo , since he is the only one here at .Socotra House to have successfully thrown away […]

This is what was on the screen when the nine o’clock production meeting struggled to separate the two watch sections that were coming and going. Vic was standing at the front with Deirdre and Holly. Section Leader Miles frowned. “I don’t mind going with some of the below-the-fold item’s like the Galley Grub Good To […]

You know why Miles had his hands full with the 0900 Production Meeting. His watch sections had agreed to gather at that hour, a third coming in, a third departing with some yawns, and Splash leading a group having drinks that mingled Flat Yank coffee with an extra stimulant that left them curiously energized and […]
