Bulletin

Right off the top, I want to apologize for not participating in the ongoing comment postings as often as I normally do. At the office, I am trying to drain the swamp and I’m knee-deep in alligators this week. It is all I can do to snatch a minute or two to go through the day’s news feeds and find something interesting for discussion here. I also have to let e-mails from all of you just kinda pile up for now. I assure you all I’m doing my best to keep you entertained while holding down a very demanding job. In other words, it just sucks to be me right now. It will pass.

In the meantime, rest assured I am following the comments threads as best I can. I think it’s hilarious that Phoenix is yanking OldCatMan’s chain about being “nice” and OCM of course responds with his usual tongue in cheek “mending of his ways”. Then Steel jumps in to defend Phoenix (who probably doesn’t need defending). Our friend, Imp, in New York needs better reading and I am preparing a list of summer reading and viewing for everyone that I’ll post here later. Just my personal choices, mind you.

If OldCatMan is our resident grumpy, heathen infidel then Tannenberg is our resident English butler. Phoenix is our party wench and Annoying Little Twerp is the blog’s official mascot. Dottie is here to provide emergency medical services to members who hyperventilate over Howard Dean’s latest antics and Macker is the blog’s official HitMan in case anyone needs rubbing out. Steel is our main man for weird shit and Frank is the Deputy Geek of the site (I have prime responsibility for geek stuff). Stanley is our point man for Texas and just plain wild, cowboy antics. And don’t forget Severa, our official Navy Spouse In Training or Lisa in New York, our advertising and marketing guru.

Military veterans like StinKerr, Steel and DavidH keep our coverage of the troops honest and even people with their own blogs like Ztucka, Tuffbeingright, Macker, Mr. Minority and uncounted others help us cross-check each other.

What would I do without Z-Woof, our main scoop reporter and head honcho on social security, medicare and medical insurance issues? We have experts here in almost every field imaginable. I’m talking professionals who have spent a lifetime in a highly intense career. I say “almost” because I don’t think we have any lawyers or politicians present (I wonder why that is?).

I guess what I’m trying to say is this ain’t no regular blog. It’s a regular three-ring circus and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It has become an on-line community housing every kind of person you could imagine, including foreigners like LyndonB over in England, Mike in Mexico and Joe & Mae down in New Zealand. I appreciate all your kind comments and I hope to keep this going as long as I can keep juggling everything.

Anyway, bear with me for a while. I will catch up eventually. In the meantime, try not to hurt each other (unless you are just making each other die laughing). I’m trying to keep track of this insanity and read all your posts but sometimes I really, truly wonder what would happen if we all got together at some nice little bar somewhere and broke open a keg or two.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm .... ponder that while I go looking for today’s Photo Du Jour ....

Good bloggers to visit (most of them mentioned above):
Annoying Little Twerp
Joe & Mae in New Zealand
Blind Minds Eye
Macker
Mr. Minority
OldCatMan
Steel
Key Monk
Lisa
TuffBeingRIght

And of course, the bloggers who helped me get started here over a year-and-a-half ago:
Kim Du Toit
Emperor Misha

P.S. If I forgot anyone in this list, send me an e-mail. I promise I’ll mend my ways. Now, be NICE.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
