All is right with the world, except...

I don't really care to go into it, except to say that I'm really glad the country wasn't saddled in 1942 with the crop of journalistic cretins that we make do with today. On the negative side, we seem still to be saddled with military types who believe that any military campaign can be won "from the air."

* * *About 60 hours from now, I shall be finished with my presentation at the ATA conference. I did some additional work on the project this morning (between making a bank deposit and going back for the afternoon), and managed to fill out the part in my presentation where I discuss Internet research, which makes for a more balanced talk, except that I probably devote more time than is necessary to the issue of fonts.

On the other hand, when you deal with Russian documents, fonts (and the inability of a client to display them) are very important. In any event, I shall fill in the speaker's notes on the plane(s) tomorrow. We leave Pagosa at around 9 am for the two-hour trek to Farmington, where I cannot imagine it taking 2 hours to make it through the formalities for my flight to Albuquerque.

* * *Dinner was nice. Drew made some chicken breasts in a sauce that comprised mushrooms, mustard, and heavy cream. Wild rice was the side dish, and I broke out the Ruffino Chianti to go with the repast.

* * *My next post will likely be attempted from L.A., via NetZero. Wish me luck.

Cheers...

Yeah, it was about that time that some misguided souls began to believe the stuff they were getting from the contractors. Hell, MacNamara - may be roast forever - was the poster child for the cause of prosecuting a military campaign as if it was a hostile corporate takeover that simply required adequate management to assure success.

You're right... we need to take the action to the Talibs on the ground.

Cheers...
