Rumsfeld’s Evil Twin

The BMEWS Secretary Of War has decided in his infinite wisdom to sit for a new portrait. The new portrait and avatar are now complete. Notice the steely-eyed glare as he peers out from under the command cap at the evildoers and idiotarians of the world. A look that plainly states, “Fear Me!” . . . . or maybe not. Whaddya think? (As if I care. RARGH!)

A Profound Thanks

Allan and I want to thank every one of you who took the time to open your wallets and donate to our blog.  As we mentioned before, it is not cheap to run a blog like this. 

We held off posting this thanks because we wanted to make sure all the records and receipts from PayPal and Amazon were accurate.  Plus it was a weekend and our traffic is much lower then. 

We absolutely HATE putting the begging cup out (I guess it’s like pan handling in a way) but until we get enough advertisers to pick up the slack we may need to do so occasionally.  With any luck you will not be harassed for another year.

That said, if you do not want to EVER be harassed again, can we ask a favor of you?  Please?

Click on the links to our advertisers.  It only takes a second.  Right mouse click on their link, open in a new window, and take a look around their place.  Open another of their pages.  If you find something interesting, buy it or subscribe to it.  Remember, the more you click on our advertisers, the more we get as revenue.  Let’s be clear, too, this will never be a way for us to get rich. Hell, it won’t even buy us a beer a week.  But it MIGHT pay the costs of maintaining the blog!!  Which is a good thing.  And if you buy something from our advertisers, that’s even better and they’ll be more inclined to stay with us.

So again, thanks again for a very successful fund raiser.  Your big hearts showed us just how great the blogging community can be.  Your kindness and generosity are something both of us appreciate very much.

Vilmar and Allan

A Tender Moment

Guys, the first part of this message is for you. Pay REAL close attention! Monday is Valentine’s Day. That’s right. It’s that time of year again and the fairer sex DEMANDS your attention. Ignore this day at your own peril. Does the name John Wayne Bobbitt ring a bell with you sexist pigs out there? Pay heed to my words, Oh Children Of Testosterone! The Estrogen Branch of our species is anxiously awaiting this day the same way you held your breath for the Super Bowl kickoff. I know you don’t understand (and neither do I) but it’s time to gird your loins and resign yourselves to three horrendous acts you will have to commit if you don’t wish your family jewels to start gathering large amounts of rust and dust ....

1- You’re gonna have to buy her a sweet present of some kind: candy, flowers, a card, whatever.
2- You’re gonna have to watch a chick flick with her and actually .... cuddle .... without groping.
3- You’re gonna have to pretend to be a sensitive, caring, loving creature for one whole day.

I know. It’s a supreme sacifice but you just gotta do it. Keep a stiff upper lip and endure it as best you can. Remember, the fairer sex already controls the world. They own half the money and all the pussy. So put on your happy face and your sad, sensitive eyes, soften your voice and .... pretend to be gay. Trust me, she’ll love it. But stay the hell away from me and the other guys while you’re doing it. It’s embaressing as hell to watch a fellow warrior in this condition.

I’ve also added a new Smiley (Emoticon) to our growing list to help you guys out.

Next, for the ladies. Sadly enough, I find myself without a regular female companion this Valentine’s Day (Whooo-hooo, I can act normal). So in lieu of making an ass of myself for one gal, I would like to send out this Valentine to four ex-wives (Carole, Stephanie, Catherine, Brenda) and (honestly) dozens of former girlfriends (you all know who you are even if I can’t remember all your names). I absolutely, truly, positively did (and still do) love all of you. No, really! Now stop laughing, girls. I’m trying to be nice here, dang it!

Behind My Back

ARGH! I leave town for one day and Vilmar posts ugly broads and “beaver” shots. I may have to alter that boy’s medications. Any suggestions?

Thank God I posted the Godaddy Gal before I left or you folks might be blind by now. Then again, if you stare at the Godaddy Gal too long you will surely go blind!

As for Riggs .... there’s a harmless little package coming in the mail to you. Go ahead. Open it.

As for me, I’ve been up for twenty-eight hours, driven 480 miles roundtrip, managed to fight my way through two high-level meetings with US Air Force brass (without going totally stark raving mad) and now am home, filtering out the 28 spam e-mails embedded in the 74 e-mails I have stacked up.

Will Blog For Food

We really hate to do this but we have to reach out with our begging cup and ask all our members to please donate to the operations of this blog. Our annual hosting service contract is coming due at the end of this month and we need to scrape up $300 before then or we will go off the air. We have managed to pay off our domain registration and about $200 in other related costs from the (meagre) revenues from the BlogAds. Maybe one day we can charge $2000 per ad like the Evil Puppy Blender, Glenn Reynolds. Until then, we have to rely on our readers to help us out a little. Our annual costs for this blog run around $1000, including everything mentioned above plus all kinds of nit-picking expenses (like the $500 Allan had to put up last month to retain the services of a lawyer after we received several threats of lawsuits).

In short, we cover most of the costs associated with this blog, provide it to you all free of charge and only ask for your assistance occasionally. God, I hate to sound like NPR or PBS begging for money. Somebody please shoot me!

Anyway, that’s the story. Donate whatever you can through PayPal or Amazon (links below and in the right sidebar - don’t worry, it is a secure transaction). Whether it’s $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 - whatever you can spare. Hell, we’ll even take a donation of $1,000,000 if you can spare it. This blog receives absolutely no money from any political party, political action committee or any politically-oriented organization. Not a dime. That keeps us honest.

So give us a hand, OK? Don’t make us show up at your house with a sign that says “WILL BLOG FOR FOOD!”

Vilmar & Allan

Al Gore says .... “If you don’t send these guys some money right now, then I promise you that Howard Dean and I will harass you all mercilessly and scream in your face every chance we get .... and .... Ted Kennedy and John Kerry will help us drive you crazy .... and .... YEARRRGGHHHHHH!!”

Our secretary MaryAnn says .... “Send us money and I’ll show you my tatas!”

FLASH! NEWS UPDATE!: Your money may be infected with a killer virus. Send it to us immediately for disinfection!

Apology: Sorry about the PayPal link. It has been fixed. Now get busy and get out that checkbook!

Allan’s Secret

Below is the living room of Chateau Kelly. In the center is the Hitachi 55” Big Screen surrounded by the home theatre system (three more speakers in rear not shown). On the right is a large bookcase with no books in it - it contains 780+ DVD’s. In the foreground is the Lazy-Boy recliner (it ain’t pink, dammit - it’s faded crimson) where my ass will soon be parked. Beer, tortilla chips, salsa (extra hot), large Pizza Hut Super Supreme Pizza, two dozen hot buffalo wings ....

Home From The Hills

I just got back from a two-day trip to Nashville. Four hours drive time each way, twelve hours of meetings. Now I have 143 e-mails to sort through. Bear with me. Yours truly may be leaving Alabama soon. All will be explained in due time, grasshopper.

Update: GREAT GOOGLEY-MOOGLEY! After gently perusing the first 50-60 e-mails, it looks like I missed the opening battle of the Great Social Security War. May I interject a little reality here .... you all have valid points but I’m not seeing very many pure facts and numbers. If you want to convince me one way or the other, document your arguments and note sources, please. Pretend I’m the American populace and you’re George Bush or Teddy Kennedy .... show me the money - with real facts and numbers. Otherwise, Vilmar and I will stage a coup, take over Washington, DC and run this mess as WE see fit!

I Just Barely Made It Under The Wire

I turn 56 in March. I got mine, or at least that’s what they are telling me.

Citing information they received in a preview of the president’s speech, Republican congressional officials said that Social Security benefits promised to workers currently 55 and older would remain unchanged under Bush’s call for voluntary personal accounts for younger Americans. These officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they did not want to pre-empt the presidential address.

Whew! I just barely made it. Unless of course the Democrats start their usual crap and hack and slice the Social Security benefits to pieces to make sure the old farts are dependent on them. Who knows what will happen when the forons in DC start meddling?

It really doesn’t matter that much anyway to me. Heart disease runs in my family and I’m already fighting high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It’ll be a bloody miracle if I reach 65. I hope whoever gets all those thousands and thousands of dollars I paid into this lottery spends it well.

My Little Adventure At The Range

Well, it was with some apprehension that I took my SKS and CZ-52 to the range yesterday.  “Why the apprehension?” you may ask.  Concerns over mis-fires or non-fires and basic inexperience at using “relic” firearms.

I purchased the SKS some months ago and it was all full of cosmoline.  What a pain in the ass to clean.  All I read about was how tedious it was and how important it was to make sure the firing pin mechanism was ABSOLUTELY free of cosmoline or else the thing would go into “automatic” mode.  Then things like the gas chamber apparatus had to be free of gunk or the gun would only fire one shot at a time.  Hell, the full technical details I can not give you but suffice it to say I spent several hours cleaning the thing.  Then it sat for two months.

So I was concerned things would get gunked up again……… but I did not feel like cleaning it once more.  Since I heard the pin rattle when I shook the beast I bet on a come that it’d work but still.............that little voice was there

The CZ is another story.  Having gotten my FFL-03 license from the BATF, I can now order collectibles like the SKS, old Enfields, Mausers, and CZs direct from suppliers without having to do background checks or having them routed through an approved dealer and paying the dealer surcharges for the favor.

I ordered a CZ, supposedly in excellent condition, from AIM.  The pistol is known to have more stopping power than a 9MM but less than a 45.  Shoots a hot little bullet and all I’ve read about it indicates it is a lot of fun to shoot.

It gets to the house, I pick it up, look at it and go, “What the fuck?  How does this thing come apart?” So I dig around my bookmarks and pull up Military Surplus Rifle’s site. It showed me how to disassembled the SKS and it showed me how to take apart the CZ.  I opt not to take the CZ apart as it appears very clean.  But I can’t quite figure out why, when I pull the slide back it locks and I can’t make it go forward.  Something is not quite right and I suspect user error.  (I know, I can hear most of you now-"hey, come on!  That’s easy.  What a maroon!” )

Safety time: two things everyone needs to know about a CZ.  Never dry-fire it until you replace the firing pin.  NEVER, EVER use the de-cocking feature with a round in the chamber.  You WILL (most likely) discharge that round.  Heaven help you if you and the gun are not at the range and you do not have it pointed downrange!

So off I go.  I figure, it’s Thursday.  I’ll have the place to myself.  I get there at opening time (9 AM) and the place is packed already!

Show time!  Will my fears be founded?  Will I figure out what I am doing wrong with the CZ?  Is the SKS clean enough.

I needn’t have worried.

I decide to shoot the CZ-52 first.  Put one round in the mag, and the slide is still stuck in the “pulled back” mode.  Now, at home, I saw this little lever on the left side of the receiver area but could not get it to go down unless I used a blunt object and forced it down.  Then the slide would slam forward.  Hmmmmm.  Gotta be something going on here.

There I was, at the range, perplexed and about to be embarrassed if I did something stupid so I called the range officer over and explained how I did not want to screw the pooch by doing something wrong but I could not get the slide to go forward even after inserting a magazine.  Then it dawned on me!  “ASSHOLE, pull the slide back a bit and push that little left-hand side lever down.” Just like your 45!  Bingo. MORON!

That took care of that.  Well, too late, the Range guy was there and did just that.  I felt stupid.

I take it off safe, squeeze the trigger and BAM!!  Right on target.  Hot shit!  I am excited.  So I do it again with only one round.  BAM! again.

Now I shove 8 rounds in it and start shooting.  Rough trigger.  Couldn’t quite figure the point where pull equaled discharge. Much to my chagrin, over the course of the morning it did not fully chamber a round several times.  Why?  No clue.  One guy told me my elbows were bent so therefore I was absorbing the shock and the round would not chamber properly as I was taking away from the recoil it needed to load.  I thought, “hmmm, that’s bizarre.  Doesn’t sound right.” So I set it on a support and locked elbows.  It still happened.  That guy’s credibility is now seriously damaged.

I’m now thinking--possibly cheap ammo or bad ammo.

I also notice I am pulling to the left.  I aim for the right of the bull’s-eye and things improve.  Time to either make a site adjustment or maybe I should just put another 100 rounds through it to make sure it is not me anticipating the firing or not controlling my trigger pull correctly.

Any thoughts out there?

After 15-20 rounds I also notice my trigger finger is suffering from some sort of “strike back” coming from the trigger.  There’s a term for it but I do not know what it is.  The tip of my index finger still tingled 7 hours later.  But I kept shooting for another 40 or so rounds.  There should be a way to avoid it and I will be doing a bit of homework hunting this down on the message boards.

I set it aside and pull out the Ruger.  MY!  What a difference.  Smooth trigger pull.  Imagine, even a rookie like me could tell the difference!

It also seemed to be pulling to the left.  But didn’t the first time I shot it months ago. Hmmmmm.

Now it’s time to take out the SKS.

Visions of misfires, non-fires, etc. go through my mind.

I set up a target at 25 yards, put one round in it, pull the trigger and BAM!  I hit the target.  Hell, I better.  After all, it’s only 75 feet.  I try again.  No problem.  Obviously I did a good job cleaning the rifle. 

I feel better and more comfortable now.

I use the stripper clips and slam 10 rounds in it and start firing…. slowly at first.  One failure to chamber properly.  Another stripper clip’s worth and 1 jam.  Another stripper clip’s worth and BLAM BLAM BLAM, all 10 rounds.

Of course, I can’t see the target properly at this distance since they are not those fancy “day-glo yellow when you hit the black zone” type targets.  So I had no clue how well it shot.  The misfires I attribute to bad ammo.  Will buy better ammo and try again soon.  I had to wait for the all clear and upon getting the targets I see that almost all the shots were high of center.  Immediately I think, “HA!  I bet this baby is sighted for 100 yards and if I were to shoot at that distance, they’d be right in the zone.” I asked the R.O. and he confirmed. 

All in all a very good shooting day.

The cleaning took place soon as I got home and that’s a lot more fun to do on a cosmo-free gun.  Plus it’s good to know how to strip down a rifle and pistol.  Hell, I think I’ll clean them again today.  Then it will be off to the stores to buy targets and better ammo.  Oh, and a spotting scope.

I look forward to the next trip to the range.

Tin-Foil-Hat Entertainment

Not a day goes by but I receive at least three or four dozen e-mails from cranks, crackpots, looney liberals and other other assorted floating fecal matter in the gene pool. Some of them are extremely angry and hate-filled. Some are threatening. And then again, some of them are so full of shit that I save them for entertainment value. The one below is a prime example of the latter category. Deborah is from New York and the gamma rays have obviously penetrated her tin-foil hat, revealing to her secrets heretofore unknown to the rest of mankind. For the record, the book by DA Jim Garrison, which she says is no longer available, is available from Amazon and ships in 1-2 days.

Deborah quotes scripture yet watches “West Wing”. She has the scoop on all the Presidential history, it appears. Quite a confused lady, I think.

For the record, yours truly has been a Master Mason since 1977. I have never been told about the secret plot to take over the government or the whereabouts of the ancient treasure of the Knights Templar. I have, however, contributed my time and money through the organization to benefit widows, orphans and crippled children as well as participate in disaster relief and many other humanitarian efforts. Quite a sinister cabal aren’t we? Also, in the interests of full disclosure, I was also a Boy Scout, reaching the rank of Eagle Scout in 1965 before retiring. I guess this all means I am the personification of all things evil. I’m sure Deborah thinks so ....

Many of us where [sic] in our young teens when JFK was killed.  Therefore, many of us grew up in communities where adult Democrats and Republicans did not buy into JFK being killed by Oswald or the “one bullet theory.”

When the movie JFK came out, I did not want to see it, because I, too, did not believe the Warren Commission Report, in which many on this Commission ended up being Masons, or that of being members of other “Secret Societies.” Those who were involved, have by now, most likely, died.

In time, employees at a video store told me that I just had to see the movie, JFK.  So, I did.  This movie said that it was based on a book by DA Jim Garrison, of New Orleans, LA., which is how I came across his book, “On the Trail of the Assassins”. 

This book is no longer being published, (and, now it is VERY hard to find libraries that still have copies) in which it has now been replaced by a book, by one of his assistants, who said that Mr. Garrison was a nut and not credible! 

DA Jim Garrison was a VERY BUSY DA and did NOT go looking to become involved with the murder of President Kennedy.  This came to him.....BIG Difference!

Then I rent the movie, JFK, again; but, THIS time I notice that when he is taking his assistants down to a specific business area, as Mr. Garrison, (played by Kevin Cosner), points to these buildings in this district; that SOMETHING is missing/has been left out.

WELL, this ‘SOMETHING’ that was missing in the movie, that is in the book, on page 27, is that he points to the Masonic Lodge and says that the FBI and the CIA work out of it!!! 

Of course, we know that only “some,” in the FBI and CIA where [sic] sent there, because we WELL know that most who work for the FBI or CIA are not necessarily connected to “Secret Societies;” but, have to associate/WORK with those who DO belong to these organizations.

With those who are Mason’s being in many local/state/national government positions; this is how the route in Dallas was “able/allowed to be changed,” that JFK, and our beloved Jackie, would travel on.  And, in which, what took place on that horrible day in November, on the 22nd of 1963; would change our Country and CULTURE, for DECADES. (NO wonder that many in my generation, ‘dropped’ out of our country/governing positions, nor would serve in our militaries.) Because members of the Masons, in which Vice President Lyndon Johnson was a member, (and, who would NOW become our President), have access to authority positions, which allows them to do what they want, they can place who they want, i.e., Oswald in the book dispository building, as well as others, i.e., the men who shot from the grassy knoll, WHERE they want these people to be.

President Kennedy, as well as President Reagan, where [sic] people that people, from both parties, across America, rallied for and wanted them to represent their particular party.  Political Parties in which MOST members are NOT those who are Masons or who belong to “Secret Societies!”

President Kennedy and President Reagan were NOT for a “One World Government.”

The movie, “The Day Reagan Was Shot,” is worth your time, (in watching and REwatching it again and again), as you will come across MANY that are still making decisions and who belong to many “think tanks,” that help to present their agenda’s [sic], via BOTH parties, in order to accomplish WHAT they want, in bringing our country, more and more, under a One World Order and the United Nations.

Even though those who held high positions in these two very different parties, were NOT happy about these two men being so popular; this NOW caused those who are members of “Secret Societies,” (be it the Masons or Skull and Bones or WHATEVER!), to HAVE to ACCEPT who would be running for President.  Something, they do NOT want to happen. 

Thus, the reason for my emails and, to ESPECIALLY encourage MANY of you, from ALL Professional careers, as well as local citizens, to RUN for the various local/state/national government positions that are available in a “free society,” like our United States of America. 

Hopefully, we are still a “sovereign nation,” in which you can exercise your political viewpoints, and, NOT just one of “The America’s,” in which we NO LONGER have a U.S.of A. Constitution!

This is why President Kennedy said, that he would like to see “some new faces around the White House.”

This is why President Reagan “found,” himself having to place some of the very ones he had spoken against, (and, he did speak out AGAINST “Secret Societies"), into his administration.

Keeping in mind, that we now know that former President Gerald Ford is a Mason, as well as many who are representing our two main political parties, today.

Hopefully, because he says that he goes to church, (esp. when he pardoned President Nixon and “asked the Lord to understand"); he will, like President George Washington did, return to the faith that he was taught as a young man. 
Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”

We know that President Washington died being that of a Christian, as there are no obelisks at Mount Vernon, like there is at President Thomas Jefferson’s, “Monticello,” which is used as his grave marker.

Even though, at one time, he had been a member of the Masonic Lodge, President Washington would NOT allow his body to be placed under our Capitol, which he knew those who were in our government, at that time, who belonged to the Masonic Order, wanted to take place.  They had prepared a place for his coffin to be contained in what is now the basement or a floor close to it.

He made his relatives promise that they would not allow this to happen and that he would remain at Mount Vernon. 
I have spent a considerable amount of time on the grounds at Mount Vernon and have been spent time in meeting with those who watch over her, as well as being able to take pictures of the Tomb where President George Washington and First Lady, Martha Washington, lie. 

They lie there as they await the return of Christ Jesus.  We know this by WHAT Bible verses President Washington had placed over him.

In one of the segments of “The West Wing,” the comment is made that the Washington Monument could be placed in the National Cathedral,” in which, President Bartlett says, “That’s a good idea!”

Hence, why we must MAKE those who hold ANY kind of office, come clean as to WHAT organizations/tenticles they are ‘attached’ to!  ALL POSITIONS, from the President to the Vice President, so on and so forth!

There are pictures of Vice President Cheney taken with those of the Masonic Order/Shriners; so, he is most comfortable with them.  If he is a member, I do not know.

This is why our New York Governor declined a membership in the Masonic Order.  He did his research, found out what their beliefs were and said: “No,” to the invitation to become a 33 degree member.

Through these past several years, more and more books are coming out that are now informing us of how these “Secret Societies,” have members in all areas of our government/businesses/militaries, etc.  Skull and Bones members that we know of are President G.W. Bush, former President G.H.W. Bush and Senator John Forbes Kerry.

This helps to explain why movies like “The Skulls” and “Skulls III,” are so popular with college students, nationwide, as well as young professionals.

“SKULLS III,” is about a daughter and a son who have to go against their “Skull and Bone’s Member,” father.  A movie that is also worthy of your time, no matter what your age you are!

So, MANY in the reporting/journalism profession DO know the HISTORY about the Masons and “The Illuminoni” and what they stand for.

This is why there IS still “Hope,” for our country!

Deborah

Note: Any members of the Masons reading this can find two obvious lies in the paragraph above: This is why our New York Governor declined a membership in the Masonic Order.  He did his research, found out what their beliefs were and said: “No,” to the invitation to become a 33 degree member.

Are You North Of The Mason Dixon Line?

If so, do not despair.  Spring is on the way.

How can I tell?  Easy.  The robins are down here in Spring Hill, tearing up the lawns, feeding on worms and getting fat for their flight northwards.

A couple of years ago I had literally HUNDREDS of them swoop down on my backyard.  They darkened the sky when they took off and it looked like someone had sprayed the yard with a small calibre machine gun. Little divots everywhere.

It Is Official: This Blog Is Now One Year Old

On January 12, 2004 at 6:21pm CST this blog was slapped on the ass and set loose on the world. We never looked back .... mainly ‘cause we’re heavily armed with the truth and lots of firepower.

We have survived the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and lived to fight another day. We have exposed all kinds of asshats in our first year. We have led the fight against: John Kerry, Michael Moore, Kofi Annan, Howard Dean, Sean Penn, Al Franken, Janene Garofolo, Hillary Clinton, Osama bin Laden, Arab Terrorists, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Syria, UC Berkeley, Taxachusetts .... WHEW! We sure made a lot of enemies in one year. Time to gird our loins and go after the bastards again. OOH-RAH!

In the meantime, here’s a little celebration cake for all of our readers who made this possible.

Happy Buffday to Us
Happy Buffday to Us
Happy Buffday, Happy Buffday ....
Happy Buffday to US!

.... and many more ......

Good News And Bad News

The Bad News: Last week I promised to post Act III of “The Heavenly Poker Game”. I have it completed and it has been burning a hole in my hard drive ever since last week. The bad news is that I will be unable to post it just yet. More on the reason below ....

The Good News: Last week, one of our readers suggested I see if I could get it published. I really didn’t think I could but I submitted it to four publishing houses just to see. The good news is that I have attracted interest from a major publishing house and am currently in negotiations to turn the two previous posts and the current one into a full novel. In other words, they loved it. Until I conclude negotiations regarding advance and date of publication, etc. I am bound to hold off posting this “beautiful piece” (their words).

For the record, the publisher is Regnery Publishing. They have published books by Oliver North, Newt Gingrich, David Horowitz and many other conservative authors. Right now I am swollen up on an ego trip like a great big ol’ horney toad stuffed on flies .... uhhh, scratch that visual image.

Anyway, you can probably imagine how I feel right now.

One point I am negotiating is the right to publish excerpts here for all you great folks. Stay tuned. I’ll keep you posted as this develops. I just got the news this afternoon in a phone call and I’m still floating on air.

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.
