I got my first spam on this platform yesterday...The spam marketing died off because I funnel it to a back up hardline we only use for outgoing calls. Very few people bother calling bc no one answers. Probably a joke they pull on the new guys at the call center now:-)))

I was thinking more along the line of "Well we spent a lot of time getting that whole hand thingee when you see someone with more rank down...I'm exhausted."
"What's rank dear?"
"That's next weekend's drill..."

Wow, that is wild. I've heard of an eight-wheel version but not ten.

That's what caught my eye. Rau has had other Enigma machines over the years but nothing like this...

I love hostas because they are the best plant & forget. We had more shade when we planted a hillside hosta garden 30 yrs ago. But the I guess the squirrels move them. I let a volunteer maple grow and at the base is the largest hosta...& we didn't plant it! How large?4ft x 4ft

There are actually clubs of young ppl in the States who teach & drive stick shift. Owning one is one of the surest ways to make sure your car isn't stolen! Thieves don't know how to drive them...

Yeah...The idea that you can do intel on the cheap..."Oh signals is enough...We're so technologically advanced..." is a truly dangerous game...

Yep... Govts love to sell "air attack only" because it means 1) the war is "way over there" 2) "we don't have to REALLY send ground troops 3) "SEE! We did something!" In Israel and Iran's case its about the only way they are going to fight each other. Which is a unique situation

That's been one of the things I've noticed with Russian drones, especially the fiber optic ones...You can really hear them. Great only against deaf troops...

How was your drill weekend dear?
We played a lot of airsoft and then the other soldiers took turns shooting us point blank while we held computers telling us to 'hack something under fire'. They told us it was great training & wouldn't stop until we gave them stock options.

The Red House is one of those noirs that's a challenge to keep track of... Serialized stories in print can often times be difficult to turn into a movie script... I wouldn't want to have been assigned this one to turn into a movie script...Tough nut..

Tony, I wanted to tell you I saw a TEN wheel Enigma machine up for auction at M.S. Rau...Most of the ones I've seen in the past were 4-5 wheel machines. Thought you'd find it interesting.

VOA’s White House bureau chief Patsy Widakuswara says she hopes USAGM "is beginning to realize the giant self-inflicted wound" it created. "They should bring us all back so we can respond to breaking news in all parts of the world. This is exactly why you don’t smash first and think later."
