Out of Touch

I hate being away from the blog on a big-news weekend.  It’s so hard to come and comment on a story, even a big one, when everyone and their Aunt has already said all that can be said.

I had a great weekend though.  My daughter is a volunteer at the Frontier Culture Museum.  She interprets at the German farm, so gets to learn about history and interact with people all day.  This weekend, her and about 15 other yutes put on a version of Aesop’s Fables for the visitors to the museum.

My brother-in-law and his wife came down from Maryland for the show.  They are moderate, left-leaning folk from the big city, so coming down here is always a treat.  We broke out the weaponry and began a shoot-fest that went on for a couple of hours (when we ran out of light).  Mrs. Christian as well as our sister-in-law were having a great time shooting cans of SAM’s Cola and clay pigeons.

After church on Sunday, we went down to the local park and played tennis.  I don’t play tennis (more of a racquetball person), but it was fun smacking it back and forth with the kids.

Monday’s are always busy, so I rarely get a chance to blog until sometime in the evening...which didn’t happen last night because I was finishing up a web project for a client.

So, now that you’re caught up with the life of Fletcher Christian, here’s a couple of things that I’ve caught from the hundreds of news items I’ve browsed through:

• Alajihaddinnerjacket spoke at Columbia U, telling us that Israel must go and the Holocaust never happened.  Yawn.  Were you expecting something new?
• President Bush spoke at the UN today and Cuba walked out.  Heh.

• You can test your knowledge of civics here. I only scored 45/60 (75%)
• GM workers are on strike.

• Finally, OSU coach Mike Gundy lays it on deep and thick toward newspaper writer Jenni Carlson.  Yikes.

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.
