Important Announcement!

What: Blogging by Allan, the BMEWS Secretary Of War will be light for the next few weeks. Posts by Allan will be infrequent but will contain their usual incisive commentary. Vilmar is going to have to handle the major share of the blog probably until the first of May. Please be gentle with him and if he starts any crap behind my back let me know. There will be no palace coups while I am away. Our Benevolent Dictator has been warned that the BMEWS Armed Forces remain under my control and I have the only keys to the missile silos. Treat Vilmar with respect (well, as much as you can). I will be watching all of you. Especially Oink and OldCatMan.

Why: Plain and simple, my employment contract here in Alabama was terminated back at the first of February. I will explain in more detail the circumstances at a later date. Needless to say, it was rather ugly and I am still quite angry at a certain company which will be revealed in due time. For the last two months, I have been looking for work which is, in itself, a full time job. I have flown out and interviewed in nearly a dozen states including: Florida, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, DC, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Illinois, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Idaho. As you can see, I have visited states where several of you live and work. My airline miles have grown tremendously. I apologize for not getting in touch with any of you during my travels. Most of the visits were of short duration purely for interviews and discussions with hiring managers. The result of all this travel is that I have accepted a position in another state. Out of eleven offer letters, I finally made a decision last week. I will be leaving tomorrow to journey to my new location and start shopping for housing. Start work date is next Monday, April 11.

Where: That is for me to know and for you to find out. During the next few weeks, you may amuse yourselves guessing where I am hiding. Let’s see how good you folks are at sleuthing. I will drop hints every now and then to help you along. Here is your first hint ........ Out of the states named above, I will be moving to one where a BMEWS member currently resides.

Let the detective games begin .... be on the lookout for a dashingly handsome, highly intelligent, suave, debonair, ultra-cool, sophisticated intellectual .... if you see that person, it ain’t me! Hehehehehe ....

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.
