(RADM Donald F. “Mac” Showers awarded the Bronze Star for his actions at Station HYPO, home of the Battle of Midway Codebreakers who enabled formation of the ambush that sank all four of the Imperial Navy’s major aircraft carriers.

Anniversary of Something Big….

Below is a picture of the corner at 58 Bagley Ave in Detroit. It was once a house belonging to a young man named Henry Ford, who worked as Chief Engineer over at the Edison plant in what was then near downtown in a place looking toward the future. On the first ride- a pal […]

Modern Crisis Logistics

Hi! Deirdre is test driving a little electric cart to see if it would work to cover the ten minute walk over to the Organic Butcher to establish a new supply chain for supplies as this crisis season unfolds.

The IRGC militants are holding out for the Mid-terms to weaken Mr. Trump. […]

Groundhog Day in the SitRoom?

The meeting was not announced until eleven O’clock when the morning Daily was ready to go. This was sort o a dreamy production meeting since the dark gray clouds parted and the sun blazed through, brilliant in the blue. The decision to not hold the event in the Oval Office, where a more formal note […]
