Why is it cold in Duluth / Recollections

 So, these are pretty important topics, these days.  And it is of course interesting that we do have a department of the Federal Government, which has concerns on this subject   On the subject of security and safety , it is always helpful to consider the more Twilight Zone , issues of the guys , or etc., who get locked in a bank safe, which may be very secure but sometimes not too safe. .Actually, this whole issue was played out with lots of " living " color in > Angels and Demons <. Meanwhile, it has been suggested that " America " was " great " , about 70 million years ago.  By that, we can also assume that, America was pretty secure as well, and that might be because, I believe, and you really should talk to a paleontologist about this , we had the biggest T-Rexes, in " America " back then. It may not be exactly clear, what " America " was , 70 million years ago, but some geologists may have ideas.  Now, this all leads back to ...

 So, I am guessing , in some , kind of weird, aeronautics museum somewhere in Missouri, about 4 years after having been hit with a anti-anti hipper-hyper projectile, and having regained sufficient capacity to transmit to higher ups, relative to himself, ensued some conversations to the effect: Messy:  you know, it really came out of nowhere.  Are you sure > Star Fleet < , is not active in this sector ? Command:  ?  Starfleet who ?  Are you kidding, there is no activity in your sector.  You happen to be in one of the most , secluded sectors of the Galaxy. Messy:  Okay, well what about, something from a different Galaxy, perhaps, even one of those far away ones? Command:  Well, on principal we do not like to discuss " inter-Galactic " conspiracies, especially on lightly secured communications such as this.  But lucky , you will be getting some serious security updates  beginning now, and for the next several months.  That s...

 Well, of course, now we must get down to " nuts and bolts ", which is not always the best place to be, but sometimes you just have to work through it.   Now, as you might guess, Bloomer was Herb's primary " fix it " guy on the farm.  Bloomer ,of course, was Henry's son who was also a mechanic, but had, sadly passed by the time the " bru ha ha " , developed right around the spring of 1956 when Herb got his >>> new <<< and >>> bigger <<<< truck, and Bloomer more or less, got " custody " of Herb's >>> old <<< pick-up.  These were turbulent and difficult times for everyone, but yet, it was kind of post - post - post - war times, depending on which war in particular you might be referring to, but not so much different than the 1970s which you might think of as post - post - post - post war times, and of course I will not try and describe the present. So, as a result, it was mostly b...

 So, obviously it would have been very unlikely that Ralphie, being as he was an automobile, and more accurately an automotive vehicle would be able to play a significant role in the civil right movement, of the late 1950s and 1960s.  The issue of course would most exactly be, what kinds of civil rights might apply to an automotive vehicle, which of course he was. Never the less, as many were at that time, Ralphie was clearly strongly attracted to New York in the late 50s and early 60s, as that turned out to be a particularly good time to attract a variety of hitch hikers into his cab, which I know does sound bad, but unusually worked out the best for everyone involved with those, " shared " experiences. Of course, it did happen that from time to time someone might find themselves in some town that they had no idea how they got there.  But, you know, that was not so often a " bad " thing.   At any rate, Ralphie was either in Washington D.C. or near there and so ...

 So this is a brief interlude before more on Ralphie, the rascally wreck.   Basically, there is some ancient mythological Altarian stories about a distant colony of the Altarian Confederation, which involved 3 Altarian warriors, which was a father and two sons. One of those sons appears in actual Altarian history, as he was involved with an elite Altarian cadre.  Apparently , the guy who " messed up ", in the whole Ralphie creation saga, was related possibly after several generations , back to that family, which may have helped somewhat in allowing the fellow to survive that fiasco.   So , that is something about mythology meeting reality, so to speak.

 Oddly, this is connected to contact with some energy survey, but actually a memory. After my service in San Francisco , I became very aware that my father was working on a book, because that work involved a lot of space, with a very large number of maps.  The book , he completed, listed 1 million 2 city combinations.    What occurred to me is that, two city combinations is also connected to energy, and therefore my conclusions are that , big matrixes of this type  are helpful in working out, persistent transactions as well as improving the degree to which they are mutually beneficial. Quite probably , flying cars would not be involved in any manner.  But that is really more >> speculative <<<, nevertheless, balloons do float, so it is a bit hazy at that.

 And so, as chance might have it, I happened to hear a speech from Mr. J. Biden, the President of the U.S.A., as most people do know. Inspiring, especially with the connection with Mr. G. Washington, also a previous President of the U.S.A.  And of course, in this country we do have quite a sequence going with these Presidents.  A bunch of them really. So, about inspiring, well, sometimes a President needs to be inspiring.  Sometimes all they need to do is talk, but sometimes, the going has to get going, and so, bringing to light that continuity is somehow inspiring, because you can think of something moving over time; sometimes up and sometimes down, and sometime, really down, but over time oddly, but persistently moving in quite a distinct direction.   Of course, we do have some distractions.  But oddly, over time, when we get headed in the >> same << direction we seem to do alright.   So, it does seem appropriate to bring Ralphi...

 So, beginning of a new year, or New Year, and it needs to be addressed, because we are all hoping this one may go just a little better than the previous.  Of course there is no way to tell, really, in advance , but we can always, hope for the best, but perhaps plan for the worst ???? Anyway, back to magic and 40 years ago.  Of course, it can be quite difficult to travel that far back, and for some may not be possible, but as I have, I can just relate that info.   Basically, at that time I was working on a > database <, the details of which, not so important.  But you might say it was a bit  hard to deal with , at times, which there was probably a setting, but anyway, on account of this it was necessary for me to hire a DBA, as a consultant and that I did.  Well, when that database was being particularly difficult, I would call him, and if necessary, he would come, on sight, to see or access what the problem might be.    I can not ...
