Coming at Us from the Court This Week We talked about the last batch of Supreme Court Decisions last week. Now comes the week of decision for the last of the six. We take no partisan position on this, since the Legal Section was pretty stern about the matter. So, in preparation for what may […]

This started out with a somewhat anguished discussion from The Salts. We used to be minor action officers in the nuclear command and control business. Naturally, we were much younger and less saline sailors back then. Atomic weapons are a business for younger people. What sparked it was the opposite to the morning Production Meeting, […]

These are eight of The Salts. They are busy catching up this morning. Well, Splash is still dozing at the six o’clock position, for those who recall how to tell time on those circle things with “hands” that point but had no fingers. The other ones? That is DeMille at the “Three,” overlooking “Rhino” and […]

(In Arlington, skies are clear and bottomless blue. Temperature is 85 and rising, they say, to near triple digits. Water temperature, according to Prague-based Life Guard Pavlich, was 82 at time of immersion. Just about perfect). We do not claim it was a “Good” dip.

One of them was a link to an old Senate transcript that featured our last live appearance before the Senate Armed Services Committee. It […]

On this Father’s day, here is one for my Dad’s Dad: I have been to the Gatun locks twice, once on my own wallet and once on the Governments!

So, we rolled back from the Rambler ramble down to Petersburg, just south of Richmond. It was a breathtaking event, if you have not seen an acre or two of American Motors projects. The memories of the design and industrial deployment of those now-old rides actually brought a tear with the recollection of Mom emerging […]

We owned, leased or or rambled across America in these machines! This show was oriented to the later innovations as George Romney’s vision for an affordable family car was implemented by designers Ed Anderson and Dick Teague- and Bill Reddig, our Dad. Below left is brother Mike and I recreating an original picture from fifty-odd […]

Day 1 was such a blast down in Petersburg that we tried to extend our reservation for another night. Too no avail, so we will head back over to the National Tractor and Truck Museum for a pass through the perking lot to see what the new day has brought forth. More on that tomorrow! […]
