Military people get reassigned every 3 years or sooner. People are always coming and going. You rarely finish out your 3 years in one place with the same people you started with. Just getting a command in a downsizing, peace time environment was an accomplishment- there is a lot of competition for s...

I was an officer in the Army. My husband was too. We went to school together, and I got top grades and he got mediocre grades. However, when it came to leading people and winning their hearts and minds, he was head and shoulders above me in talent. The unit he lead loved him and when he left the ser...

Backtracking a bit- for the record, horses aren't the only form of animal transport. They are more like the sports cars of the genre (or the semi truck, with draft breeds). Oxen can pull heavier loads longer, they're just slower. And yes, if civilization falls, I'll be teaching our cows to pull a ca...

...end up living in the same neighbourhood as somebody who wouldn't mind driving a pair of fine Clydesdales to work each day or rolling many shopping trips into one in exchange for cleaner air. ( Do realize that I am applying some hyperbole here. ) Yeah, no one would drive 2 Clydesdales to work! Th...

I think it's interesting that has been only one hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico in 2006 and 2007, and that was just the little pop-up storm of Humberto. It was over with almost before it made the news. Of course, this lack of hurricanes has probably caused the severe drought of the SE states, so it'...

Suburbs are terrible because they take so much decent farmland out of production. The sanest thing I ever saw was when I lived in Germany and there were no real suburbs. The crop lands ran right up to the city edges and multistory people dwellings started right there . Strict zoning enforced conserv...

I like McCain because he strikes me as a genuinely honorable man. He does what he thinks is right, despite what the party tells him to. He's sincerely brave, and was awfully handsome pre-Vietnam. (I know looks shouldn't count for anything, but WOW! And he's still cute, eons later!) He's a good perso...

If I were worried about home defense, I would choose a shotgun loaded with rock salt. Less messy, I'd think... and less permanent. I miss my dog, though. She used to let us know when anyone even paused at our driveway, much less started to drive up it. Now she's dead, and my other two dogs just wag ...
