Thus has it ever been. Not Rumsfeld's fault, nor Bush's either.
Yeah, saw that thread. [sigh]

Ha! My favorite line in the movie.
The SecDef sets the agenda. There is a reason most of the senior officers who have been speaking out about him have been Army. His vision of a modern force overvalues air power. The buck stopped with him. Literally. The Army and Marines have had to make do with crumbs from the table, having to shuffle $$ away from acquisition in order to fund the fight. The AF hasn't had to make such sacrifices. Rummy is a great man who has done a lot of good. But he's not perfect.
Again, Nite Ize to the rescue. An LED conversion kit, and a "smart" tail cap that gives you different levels of brightness, and two strobe functions. Be warned, these will probably cost you more than the original Mini Maglite, but they are well worth it.
S'how I feel, man.
I have to do some series writing this weekend.
Despite Rummy's faults, he still stands head-and-shoulders taller than Robert Strange McNamara, or the non-entities that served as SecDef for the Commander-in-Sleaze.
Agreed. It will take six or seven years still to overcome the Clinton-era gutting of the military.
Sweeeet. Those will eat fewer batteries, yes? It's a niiiiiice. I a liiiike.
OK. That, I want.
More rain stuff...damage report. I found this kinda interesting.

Expect a 10x increase in battery life, and near-infinite lamp life. Also, you ain't seen white until you've seen white LEDs. It makes halogen bulbs look yellow.
That is an interesting story....

She really is a beautiful monster, isn't she? That's an especially good picture - hard to capture her on film!
Aw. Purty kitty!
Writing cramp...as in mental, or are you writing by hand, partially?
I'm mostly writing then typing.
Had a lunch meeting today, though, so I haven't gotten much in yet. Granted, I'm ahead, but I'm also fretting over the story and it's been painful, painful writing lately. If I ever go back and edit, I think much of the text from the last few days will be yanked and replaced with a summary.
It is a good pic! Ecurbh took it, actually, I was trying to fold t-shirts :~)
To photograph her, we just can't use the flash, she either gets all washed out or gets red eye, or both.
as in a Carpel Tunnel cramp
