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, […]

No, We Just Said Wednesday

But that is just what we said Monday, not having any idea what the reactions on Tuesday were going to sound like. We thought the President had been clear. “No nukes. Turn over the atomic dust.” There seemed at least to be some clarity as to what those two things meant, anyway, at least between […]

Trump’s Clock is Ticking

But come Summer we will be ready with propane power and the Russel range cooktop we keep in the back of […]

Central Wyoming Fair & Rodeo

Morning, Gang! What a dynamite Saturday! Skies are brilliant blue and the sun a blazing bright orb that has slowly inched past the lower right corner of the giant plate glass windows of the 4th Floor Conference Room at the Trillium office/residential/retail complex. We had the company national conference yesterday that started things rolling in […]

Cuba Begins to Go…

This is almost too much for those Boomers at the table to comprehend. With an average age spanning 70 to 85, they bring long memories to the 4th Floor Conference Room at the Socotra House Creative Section. Somewhere deep in their collective recollections was being a teenager when the evil dictator Batista—whose two periods of […]

Doctor’s Orders

(DR. Anthony Fauci (L) and that Institute Currently In The News (CITN) (R). Did you follow this one yesterday?
