Virga Joy Redux

It occurs to me that I have not written a book review since third grade, and my last two attempts at a book review are still in limbo. I cannot do justice to this great book, but I will give it my best shot. Virga Joy is based on the real life experiences of our … Continue reading Virga Joy Redux →

Preface: LtCol S.x MacTemplar -Shadow Warrior

Where to begin? It seems that war is just too big of a topic for Hollywood to handle in 90-110 minutes. Go figure. I know I canā€™t do it justice in 300-plus pages, either, but it will be more accurate than anything Hollywood can dish up. I suspect what people want from Hollywood is to … Continue reading Preface: LtCol S.x MacTemplar -Shadow Warrior →

The Emperorā€™s New Mask

Hypatia bringing it!

America has gone insane.

Yeah, I know youā€™re thinking ā€œTell us sumpā€™n we donā€™t know!ā€

Okay: masks donā€™t work! Or did you know that? Think about it: weā€™re,
talkinā€™ microbes here. When you suck in air, which is tortuously hard to do wearing even one of those party-favor lite paper masks, the virus is tiny enuf to ride in with it, Duh!(if thatā€™s not offensive). The ā€œexpertsā€ pretty much admitted that from the beginning.

Oh, but now weā€™re ordered to wear ā€˜em to protect other people!

Well, yā€™see, when you breathe out, your breath doesnā€™t stay inside your mask. It comes out around the edges. Thatā€™s the reason your sunglasses get fogged up. Duā€”-sorry! Old habits die hard.

I heard my BMD joking that he now tells people he has a new ā€œmagicā€ mask. Oh, yeah! You mean you donā€™t have one yet?

So it occurred to me thatā€¦

Many Chinese tourists are in my adopted home town for the Lunar New Year celebrations and perhaps to sample a bit of candi too during their visit. Anyway I wore a surgical mask in public for the first time ever the other night when I went to the local Lunar New Year festival. Apparently I was not the only one concerned with the coronavirus emanating from communist Chinaā€™s slave state as there were many such masks on display. There is at least one report of a victim of the coronavirus right here in Chiang Rai.

Wearing the mask was a bit awkward as my spectacles were almost continuously fogging up. Regardless, I will probably take up the practice, in particular when on travel and/or public transit. Recommend you consider doing same. If you should decide to take up the practice, please be advised that all surgical masks are not createdā€¦

Winning the Peace (Ch. 3) Redux

Past being prologue, it is not likely that either the Department of State or CIA is going to beat back the onslaught of Salafism. The intent here is to provide leadership with a notion of the type of Foreign Area Officer (FAO) required to develop and implement strategy. The current ā€œstrategy,ā€ whatever it may be, … Continue reading Winning the Peace (Ch. 3) Redux →
