There are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. —2 Thessalonians 3:11

God's house should be a hive for workers—not a nest for drones.

Good morning ladies. Flag-o-gram.

Spaceship One

Burt Rutan and his company Scaled Composites, the same folks who built the Voyager airplane that circled the globe, are striving to claim the X-Prize. Spaceship One is the leading contender among dozens of teams worldwide competing toward the $10 million cash prize. The prize will be awarded to the first ship to reach 62 miles up, the edge of space, and repeat the feat within two weeks.

Spaceship One rocketing well past Mach 1 during it's second powered test flight. This photo was taken from video from a ground RADAR station at Edwards AFB.

At the maximum altitude following burn-out of the engine. Photo taken by an on-baord video camera mounted in the tail. I love this sight, for many reasons. Mainly, a privately financed American, free enterprise, effort is likely to ignite another Space Race. OH YES!!

Yesterday was the first anniversary of Snippy's first thread at the Foxhole.

I had asked her earlier in the month if she'd be willing to help me by doing one thread a week. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made.

The Foxhole has evolved into what it is today because of Snippy, who works hard on research, posting threads, building relationships with our readers, keeping me in line and making the Foxhole the "Home away from Home" it has become for me. I am proud to be able to call her my partner and honored to be able to call her my friend.

Thank you Snippy for all you've done over this last year.

Evening Grace Snip & Sam~

Fascinating read . . . I had never heard of the Battle of Waxhaws.

There is nothing cruel or inhuman about soldiers under fire concerning themselves foremost with their own survival and that of their comrades, rather than trying to identify which individual enemies might not (but then again might) be a continuing threat.

This quote could be placed in any time period for any war or battle. I wouldn't know . . . but from what I've read in the Foxhole it sounds like one of those common denominators for soldiers in war.
