All right. Just hang on for a second. This is Miles, and I apologize for having Deirdre fill in these last few weeks filled with interesting activity. I’ll tell you about it if things slow down and everyone fills in on what they have been doing.

The news this afternoon is that I am turning it back over to her to keep a little distance for the duration of the conflict. The galvanizing report just now was from one of those pernicious Iranian IRGC officials who popped up to say that the bases used by American B-1 and B-2 aircraft on strikes to his nation are now what he terms “legitimate military targets.” That could mean any place from North Dakota to Tehran.

So, I asked Deirdre to do a placeholder for this afternoon to describe how she plans to keep the place running as we may be going to a bigger conflict.

Hi!

Here is my deal. I may have a dozen or two people show up, depending on what sevral thousand dozen people are doing far away. I have what used to be a service-storage space off a nice big conference room with a larger service0grade ‘fridge. I have counter space in both rooms and a boof sink in the Galley.

This is my stuff:

This is the stuff I use to keep it warm over an hour or two as required:

There is always a Duxtop going in the Galley with something moving between broth and stew. I will have something tasty to think about tomorrow morning!

That is about what the Middle East is doing to keep pace!
