Bunker is our house, ICF construction, 6″ reinforced concrete w/2″ foam insulation on either side. Was built by a company that builds hotels in south Florida to post-Andrew specs. Was built with ‘good ole boy’ Mississippi concrete and contractor inspected and tested each truckload. Was actually cheaper and much faster to build than if we’d have built same design using regular wood process. Built it after we saw damages from Katrina and our area up here’s a wee bit prone to tornadoes…once bitten…
We made sure, we were smack in the middle of the Chinese drywall issue, that all drywall was US and at least half the drivers were wearing appropriately Southern-themed (over to you, Mary) baseball caps.

MLK Day food for thought…
Rise of the Ku Klux Klan
In the time leading up to the 1868 presidential election, the Klan’s activities picked up in speed and brutality. The election, which pitted Republican Ulysses S. Grant against Democrat Horatio Seymour, was crucial. Republicans would continue programs that prevented Southern whites from gaining political control in their states. Klan members knew that given the chance, the blacks in their communities would vote Republican.
Across the South, the Klan and other terrorist groups used brutal violence to intimidate Republican voters. In Kansas, over 2,000 murders were committed in connection with the election. In Georgia, the number of threats and beatings was even higher. And in Louisiana, 1000 blacks were killed as the election neared. In those three states, Democrats won decisive victories at the polls.

Paul’s second letter to the Christian folks up in Thessaloniki, Chapter 2.
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

Hundreds of U.S. Marines land in Norway, irking Russia
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-norway-usa-military-idUSKBN1501CD?il=0
Some 300 U.S. Marines landed in Norway on Monday for a six-month deployment, the first time since World War Two that foreign troops have been allowed to be stationed there, in a deployment which has irked Norway’s Arctic neighbor Russia.
Officials played down any link between the operation and NATO concerns over Russia, but the deployment coincides with the U.S. sending several thousand troops to Poland to beef up its Eastern European allies worried about Moscow’s assertiveness.
Soldiers from Camp Lejeune in North Carolina landed a little after 10 am CET at a snow-covered Vaernes airport near Trondheim, Norway’s third-largest city, where temperatures were reaching -2 degrees Celsius (28 degrees Fahrenheit).
U.S. troops are to stay in Norway for a year, with the current batch of Marines being replaced after their six-month tour is complete.

Love it. I’m old enough to clearly remember the segregated busses, lunch counters, water fountains, theaters, vaynroons, etc, in Florida. There were parades of blacks and white supporters marching for inclusion, the black Americans just wanted to be fully included in and have access to the benefits of white society.
Fast forward fifty or so years and black activists want unequal access to benefits and a seperation from the greater society. The black pols fear inclusion as it will dilute their abilities to feed off of the system and control their subjects. Let’s hope Trimp’s DoJ manages to investigate crooked ethnic pols who abuse the system, seems to have been an eight year hiatus recently.

Me too, czar. I grew up in segregated Alabama and Mississippi in the 50s and 60s. It was very common for filling stations (ha!) to have 3 restrooms: men, women, and colored. I was a senior in high school when school integration occurred. In college (Miss. State University) in 1973, a bunch of us went out for breakfast together and there was one black woman in our group of maybe a dozen. We were told she could not be served with us, she had to go around to the back, to the “colored” dining room. We all got up and left.

I bootlegged in DeKalb county, out of Mentone, in the late 60s and there were black areas around the tri-state area where no whites could go, white areas where no blacks could go and areas up,on the mountain where nobody could go. I remember gas stations in rural areas that no one wanted to use, I can still find a few out here.

It’s hard to get my mind away from how my place of 9 years worked.
Everyone in the kitchen can do every other thing in the kitchen, some better than others at each position. So all day, the egg cook at the wheel (reading tickets out loud to the whole line, with military-efficiency verbiage, while cooking every sautee-pan thing and running five kinds of toast, and feeding whole plates to the window, and calling out servers’ names.) can also do prep, can also do dish. Dish can do prep and run the sandwiches, salads, pancakes and burgers and waffles and fries. Prep can do dish, line, or even wheel.
Everyone uses what Anthony Bourdain called “System D” in his second book, and can use their head and even fix anything mechanical in the kitchen with a SPOON!
System D is using a rock (true!) to hammer in that last two shingles on a roof, because the tool trailer done left.
Even Chef is scrubbing and mopping at the end of the day, in a perfect crew. No prima donnas, just hard workers.
I guess what I mean is I want to be everything for them. And I want to work with people who think like that.
Since I left the other joint, I would bet my left arm that NOBODY has cleaned a floor drain or three, or swept the basement stairs or basement, without being told — just because it needed doing. Let alone scrubbed baseboards or got ice for the ladies, or scrubbed prep-table legs, or stainless walls. Not without being told.
Let alone replaced an outlet, or faucet, or toilet. Me and Chef? We work like that.

Ask for more than you will accept. Quietly and confidently state, and give concise examples of your worth.
Above all, do not say anything negative about your previous employer. If the chef knows the situation you should still be diplomatic about it with the owner.
Think about what you sill say before you go. They might know every detail of the story of you leaving, but how you talk about it still speaks to your character and dignity and it will matter.
