I just left a comment on the other thread. They seem to think that that will help, like it will lead to a clamor for the movie release or something, which I sincerely doubt. Hollywood has selective hearing; they only hear what they want to hear.

I’m not so much hunting right now as waiting for a sign, and doing odd jobs. There isn’t a business in our town without a “now hiring” sign prominently displayed. And none of them would hesitate to hire me, because they all know I’m good.
I just don’t know if I’m ready to be someone’s b***h again soon. Been that for 9 years.
Bossman told me the other day that one of our opener/prep-cooks had a heart attack a couple of days ago. I yelled down from my smoking perch, “See? See what this business does to us?!” He laughed, and then I went down and asked how the guy was doing.
I wish I were more inclined to entrepreneurial endeavors.
Yes, I live right next to where I’ve worked for 9 years. So I get to see the bossman and his whole family, which is essentially my family, every day, and all my former co-workers.
It’s been a hard week, on the mind.

Back in the Cold War days we’d watch Russian ‘commercial/trade’ ships coming into port up the Mississippi. The specialists in thst kind of analysis would take inventory of visual antennas on the ship and compare them to known examples to get an idea of what sorts of communications/surveillance equipment thry had on board. There was one anchorage just across the hiway from the Joint Base and, when a Rooskie merchant ship managed to get a slot there we’d get a heads-up to limit comms on unsecured systems.
There were also ‘merchant’ ships equipped with underwater mapping systems that would record the underwater topography of the river and ports…never can tell when it might come in handy.
They aren’t alone, there is a US source we could tap to find all of the underwater features and tidal information we needed, current or historical, to plan missions, can’t but guess where they got that.
I’m betting the sonar unit was probably just a mapping one, not one geared to taking snoopy stuff. Once the Chinese determined it didn’t have any ‘special’ features they received permission to return it. At least the insult remains.
You can bet the Navy wil be going through the returned drone to make sure no post-capture circuits or software have been added. I’m betting some changes to all of the drones’ systems will be made too so as to counter any Chinese abilities to exploit them.

Can Progressives Stop Making My Christmas Traditions Political?
My mom went to see George Frideric Handel’s ‘Messiah,’ and the maestro went off on an anti-Trump rant. Is nothing sacred anymore?
http://thefederalist.com/2016/12/16/can-progressives-stop-making-christmas-traditions-political/
My mom texted me the following day to say that at the beginning of the performance Boyd encouraged the audience to remain seated during the “Hallelujah” chorus. He suggested we might be better off ruled by King George again, who started the tradition of standing during that portion of the work, rather than by President-Elect Donald Trump.
When the Hallelujah chorus began, half of the audience stood and half remained seated. Not surprisingly, I haven’t seen any news reports confirming this, but my parents later discovered another set of friends had attended the performance in the front row. They too heard the rant and were surprised. My parents reported it was “awkward.” I would add reprehensible.

And the butchers bill will continue till November 11, 1918 , then into the 1920’s and ’30s. As the returning US Veterans were called the “loss generation”. This is why myself and others studied “the Art of War”. War is terrible, very costly in Human life and I could go on with many reasons not to engage in war.
Preparedness is the key, remember all of the hype about the Iraqi Army before the first gulf war and our national press was saying we would our ass kicked. Well to be honest, very honest, I wasn’t sure about how our equipment could or would function. Then after our first mission, (Scud hunting and spotting for Artillery raids) erase all of my doubts in the performance of soldiers and equipment.
And to make a long story short, it’s all about studying the art of war, so this will not happen again…..
