Good morning everyone.

Good morning, Snippy and everyone at the Freeper Foxhole.

OUr ISP had server problems this morning, that's why I was late in arriving.

Congrats to OU on winning their first round game in the Big 12 in Dallas. Good luck to OSU today.

Having investigated several explosions and being personally in ammo dumps when they were blowing up, let me say this, "It is very evident that something bad is going on".

What seems to do the most damage is stuff coming back down instead of the actual blast. You see some weird things also. I have seen people literally blown to bits by only 1/4 pounds of explosive and on the other hand, at Radford Army Ammo Plant, we had an operator of a building less than 40 feet away from 12,000lbs of TNT that went. He was back to work in about three weeks due to burns he got before the explosion. In the same explosion we had buildings knocked down 1/4 mile away and two ton nitrators blown over a mile.

Morning Snippy.

More proof that any job in the Military is potentially dangerous. The MT. HOOD disaster also shows that once hazaradous work becomes routine the chnaces for accidents goes up.

We have had the namesake of the MT HOOD come in as part of the Rose Festival Fleet every year. Last I heard she was decommissioned a few years back. :-(

Mornin' to the Foxhole. Terrific presentationa as is the norm.

Hope y'all don't mind, but I'm asking for prayers for my father-in-law, George. He suffered a stroke yesterday. By nightfall, he had regained the ability to speak, though slurred and also regained feeling in his right side.

George is a WWII vet who served aboard the USS Tinosa, a submarine. He is also a plumber who forgot to retire. He's 84 years old and competes like a 30 or 40 year old. He has participated in the Bloomsday Race (12K) yearly and frequently plays racquet-ball with his son. He was working on a plumbing job when the incident occurred and rushed to the hospital.

He had planned to drive down here to central CA next week from Spokane. Mrs. d will be traveling to Spokane tomorrow. Prayers for George and the family, please

Thanks, FRiends. dd
