N. Koreans Ordered To Raise Their Flag At 2PM, and Listen to Broadcast
N. Korean leadership ordered its citizen to raise their flag and listen to their (government) communique from TV in the evening, according to Sankei Shimbun (of Japan), quoting Japanese government sources.
The paper said it is paying attention this development because it could be related to the launch of Taepodong-2.

Well nothing happened so until the next time....... How about a nice, friendly discussion about dreams?:')
It appears to be liquid-fueled, which in a military booster in this day and age makes it useless except for first strike. It also seems to be sitting above ground which makes it a sitting duck for almost anything, again making it useless for second-strike or retaliation.
Questtion was asked: Assuming they did fuel it, how long can it stay in that condition?
Almost any place in the west that has trees or grass or sagebrush can and will occassionally have fire. For most areas, its not a constant, but it is part of the West...it's designed to burn.
Big smoky fire is worse where there are trees to burn. I'd stay away from heavily forested areas in the intermountain west if that was an issue for you.
But be aware that even occasionally, really big fires can trail smoke miles from the sources, dropping the air quality.
One year I was living in Houston, which has bad air anyway, but doesn't get much usually in the way of wildland fire smoke, but there was a lot of fire burning in Mexico that year, and the smoke was drifting over the city. Not densely, but a friend of mine who was very ill from cardiac problems passed away at the height of the bad air...and I am sure it was a contributing factor.
I keep N95 and R95 masks always handy for my asthma...I find it helps for those unexpected moments.
"I dreaaam of Jeannie with the light brown hair..."
Dreams are a hot topic these days. The Wahabbis are into that in a big way.
I don't remember any from last night. I do have a question maybee you could answer. Why does my dog have to follow me everywhere? I know he loves me, and I'm the leader of the pack, but why does he lay in front of the bathroom door when I go in there? He has to know I'll be out in a short time?
Funny. I slept good last night too. I woke up a little grumpy this morning though.
It's as good a translation as I can come up with first thing in the morning.
Did you ever have the dream that you couldn't find where your college class was for finals?
I don't like living without a/c either...I went to my mother-in-law's once in Tacoma, and they were having unusually warm weather, sultry and sticky until you got by the water...but it's rare enough that very few people, I am told, have a/c...
I tend to be cost driven. I keep the house at 60 most of the time in the winter, and at 85 in the summer. I learned to appreciate the cool living in a town where winter is two months long, with breaks, and have good heat tolerance. They kept nagging me to have one of these devices installed on my central air to interrupt it from time to time to save wear and tear on the power grid, but when they called me to ask why I hadn't signed up to it, I told them I had only run my A/C about 2 weeks that summer.
The guy laughed.
Every now and then I hear about heat waves when the temp gets between 85 and 90 and wonder why people are calling that dangerously hot. I guess it's all what your body is used to.
Your guess is as good as mine.
When the U.S. does a missile test, a lot of things have to go right and scrubbing a launch is expensive, so you usually don't wait once you have clearance to launch.
The last test I was involved in, the range clearance window started at 20:00:00 ZULU. Range safety gave verbal clearance over the radio and launch happened at 20:00:05. There is absolutely no advantage to holding on to a missile that's ready to fire, only bad things can happen while you're waiting.
When I moved to the valley I felt like I couldn't breathe. Funny how a few hundred miles can make a difference. Now the heat and humidity doesn't bother me. As you say...you get used to it.
From my reading of the thread and the net, all we have is speculation that they did fuel the bird?
Did you ever have the dream that you couldn't find where your college class was for finals?
No, I went to the wrong college. UCSD, SDSU, USD All sound the same if study too much.
The fuel tanks or trucks were near the pad and the missile was upright on the pad. That is about all that can be seen from satellite.
Wow, that's a whole can of worms...couldn't find the class, ended up in the wrong class, teacher is speaking spanish which I barely understand, I even had one where I got into the building found the class aced the final and the whole thing turned into a prison and they locked me in a cubical...no wait that actually happened, LOL.
"I believe Hitler's arm was badly injured by a bomb placed under a table at a military conference. They covered up the bombing and the cause of the injury."
According to his doctor (Morell) and his secretaries, he was relatively unscathed. He had a gash on his head and he received a lot of splinters all over his body, including his right forearm.
His worst complaint was that the concussion had damaged his inner ear(s) and he kept feeling like he was falling to the right. But he got over that.
As I said (but actually mistyped), Hitler claimed that the blast had stopped his palsy in his left leg (I had said arm before).
Hitler's palsy in his arm did increase some time after the blast. But he had a lot of things going on, both medically and psychologically of course.
As I said, the general consensus is that it was Parkinson's or (more radically) syphilis. But nobody seems to think it dated to any physical injury.
