Posting blind here.... as any FReeQ can SEE! ;-) - but I have found the new Q drops! Daddy Dragon Q over at 8chan has been busy telling us about the military preps and the D5 that is unquestionably coming.

I’ve been collecting into a file stories about “Strange / Untimely Deaths” - Here is one that may already be under discussion, but just in case it isn’t, here is the skinny on the death of top admiral of US naval forces in Bahrain :

Naval Forces Commander Is Found Dead in ‘Devastating News’
Vice Adm. Scott Stearney, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the U.S. Fifth Fleet, was found dead Saturday in his residence in Bahrain, U.S. military officials said.

No foul play is suspected, but the cause of death remained under investigation, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson said.

Defense Department sources told CBS News the death was “an apparent suicide.”
“This is devastating news for the Stearney family, for the team at Fifth Fleet and the entire Navy,” Richardson said, according to NavyTimes.

“He was a good friend to all of us.”

*texokie goes to the Qanteen Quiet Room to gather her devotional materials to offer prayers for the family of Vice Admiral Scott Stearney’s family as well as for guidance for the incoming commander, Rear Adm. Paul Schlise.*

*texokie looks out the window in the Quiet Room, which oversees the lake. There is snow, and the lake is gray and still. Texokie imagines she can see the crusting ice building up on its surface. The snow is starting to build up in drifts along the edge of the forest which is set back several yards from the lake. The dock is empty. The neighbor children are out playing in the snow and have created a magnificent group of snowmen of various sizes. A few of the children are busy making snow angels, while others are in the midst of a donnybrook of a snow fight.
Their shouts and laughter float up to her - even through the double paned window.*

*She moves to sit in the bay window seat and continues looking. There are birds in the feeders which greeneyes and her crew have thoughtfully placed around the canteen grounds and some of the approach areas to the dock. There are magpies and cardinals and the occasional bluebird scattered among the many little brown sparrows and finches. Some naughty squirrels are calculating ways to steal the corn cobs set about at the bird feeding stations on cables with baffles. They are fun to watch as they try so hard to get past the baffles.*

*Texokie feels such gratitude for all who serve or have served in our military uniforms and wishes ALL of them well.*
