Beryl,

I am thrilled hearing from you. It was truly splendid here this afternoon and still is. Hoping So Cal is well, too. What is new?

Lastly, if China (via North Korea) is going to attack the USA, they will go for the head of the snake first! They will not engage in some inflammatory action which gives our nation cause without first attempting to cripple our country. USN needs submersibles off of the southeastern Atlantic listening for ANYTHING! Moreover, the sediment beneath DC is fairly soft and it may be the case that several torpedoes targeting the sentiment under the various bays in the area could trigger some tectonic plate action.... which of course would be attributed by the media as an Act of God. More importantly, off of the coast of Israel is the largest cache of oil and of NATURAL GAS, and the sediment at the bottom of the Med is mostly soft soap stone type rock. Be very careful USN not to shoot your torpedoes down but up and watch for private Indian/Pakistani submarines willing to populate Med or Red seas with sea urchin type mines which remain in water at a certain water temperature just as certain bombs on planes prefer a certain altitude. The tech is out there, and they make these just because they can and just because they will be purchased. I believe these is what Russia's ships were attempting to ascertain was not in the Black Sea nor along the Istanbul corridor. I have only best and kind interests towards our DoD, and I apologize if any of this is in error. No more on this war from me, via this forum. Thanks. Be fast and furious mama orca! You all rule the seven seas so very very well.

T-29 Fighter aircraft will be immune to EMF failures. There should still be about 135 aircraft scattered in hangers across five states: Nevada, California, Texas, Florida, and Virginia. The first tank of jet fuel should have a high-octane fuel cleansing agent added and burn the whole thing out without the vehicle leaving the ground. Almost 80-85% of these can be repurposed in 2-5 days if sufficient air maintenance is reassigned for the week. Get lots of batteries, tires and fuses before you set out. Any jet which halts before the whole tank is empty should probably not get airborne without a serious once over. Your pilots have been using them with simulators for decades, which is why they are so immediately available.... theater munitions of choice can be augmented as needed. GO FOR SHOCK AND AWE PART II...EVERYWHERE! Call my dad if you need to recall what that is...his baby was the 10-day war, let's repeat that now. My dad softened them up for USA General Schwartzkopf, and it can be done as often as needed--bombs are cheaper than lives 24/7. Why did my father do Shock and Awe, because he served two tours in Vietnam as a fighter pilot and vowed if he could ever avoid the US repeating such a disaster, he would do all it would take to prevent it. This situation on two or three fronts is very rapidly evolving into this. We need those young DoD employees to be paying into SSA not dying! Kind regards to all who serve. My prayers are with you and my sons, one USN the USA.

Sorry for your loss today, but happy for our win.

I am not so cheerful about the House. My Congresswoman, Lori Trahan, had an us/them newsletter out this week. Maybe I should recommend your newsletter.

Air Force beating Navy was perfectly predictable.

How things will eventually work out on The Hill to America's benefit is not.

Sad state of affairs all around.

I appreciate your words, but love your photos! I lived in Arnold on the Severn River for 28 years, so your images take me back to so many memories. THANK YOU!
