Being prepared–Israeli agent’s advice & warning Sleep well. He’s perfectly right, of course. We’ve fought the “war on terror” about as stupidly as we possibly could.

My Son Luke Sent this to Me During our Recent Epic Weather This was, for Seattle, a world-historical storm, filling even the most zealous Northwest greenie with grave doubts about the slam dunk obviousness of global warming.

Progress Report O Happy Day! Yesterday I finished the draft of the book. What this means in English is that all the heavy lifting is now done. The first six chapters have already been reviewed by my trusty team of editors. I have yet to do edits on Chapter 7 (I hope to start today) and I still need to have the edits done for 8-14.
