New Years Challenge



A few years back and there you have it, I was in 'Nam, Cheltenham. It being New Year's Eve it seemed right to visit some friends, regimental tie and blazer no less. And there we were, "Happy New Year, fella," I offered some massive biker, "Is it, F***r?" came the electric synapse, ultra dopamine quick response.





I looked at the offensive mountain of oily denim, leather, hair and worse and said, "Devil take you and twice as fast." He didn't, fortunately, because the owners, ahem, of the house broke in, "Leave him alone, he's Adolf." And so he did.

Funny thing, I was the last man standing at that biker event, at 4++ in the morning. Lightweights, obviously.

Your Old Pal,

A Gentle Reflection

 



Well here we are. Twitter's banned the President of the US, the GOP's baying for the blood of the anarchists(?) who got into the Capitol and stole Pelosi's laptop, and the FBI are working round the clock to bring the perps to justice. Election fraud on an industrial scale obviously wasn't worth the time, eh? But where to from here.

Good question, will our cold civil war become hot? It might, given current levels of anger and dehumanization, to say nothing of the fact that everyone's armed to the teeth. No epiphany there, though perhaps the utter lack of spine on the part of the GOP is an eyeopener, or not. 




Regardless, the future beckons and what does it hold? For me, working to build up two Texan country missions, simple as that. One of the Wardens, who used to head up Dallas SWAT, asked, "If they try a lockdown, what'll you do?" I thought for a second, "I'll ignore that order." He looked me right in the eye, "Me too."

US Air Force Goes Snowflake



Already famous for it's diversity and inclusion strategies, the US Air Force has now gone full snowflake, at least at Lackland Air Force base, where a senior officer has banned a list of bad words. 




Following the example of Cardiff Met, the following words are now forbidden:

Boy
Girl
You People
Colonial
Blacklist
Blackmail
Blackball
Sounds Greek to me
Blondes have more fun
Too many chiefs, not enough Indians




Lackland AFB is in San Antonio, Texas, a state which is home to an estimated 125,000 transsexuals. How many of these are employed by the Air Force is presently unclear.

Carry on,
