Hold Our Beer

OK. The messaging is getting complicated this afternoon There is the usual jumble of stuff overseas which has direct ties to the Campaign in terms of who does what to whom and when. Yom Kippur has passed as a direct moment, though the days around it carry significant meaning so specific timing is not required. […]

The Tic Tac Tale

Morning, now that is almost isn’t! This is an unusual morning with a pile of stories down on the picnic table, some groggy members of the Socotra House Creative scowling at their still-steaming Chock Full O’ Nuts in the assortment of ceramic mugs celebrating ships long consigned as sunken reefs, bars now turned into multi-use […]

Columbus Day

There was a minor scuffle at the Saturday Production Meeting. There is a continuation of some family stuff happening for those in the group actually related to the Chairman’s genetic group which resulted in some staying abed late and arriving groggy at The Picnic Table. DeMille was a little distant, since he had the interns […]

Mixed Messaging

We don’t mean to say it in a bad way. But it certainly is a jumble this morning, isn’t it? Example: We had a big stir here in the Washington Post about the Northern Lights being visible here as a result of the current solar disturbances. You can see that is a purely relative display […]

Dick Ranger, Third Eye

We just had a flurry of fun with this project. Not the first time for fun, but this time it was something new. The below was the Chairman’s first book. It was done around the time dinosaurs ruled the planet in 1979. This is what it looked like the first time we saw it, only […]

Milton and the Poem

Milton is an apt name for a storm, and the impact of them on paradise. The poet said it in “Paradise Lost” but last night’s storm has left much of what where it was, though covered with debris. The full damage inflicted is not yet known. There is talk of tornedoes and storm surge on […]

Button It Up

This would have been a delightful morning to take an unbiased look at where we stand on the assorted issues 26 days out from the election. Button it up, you know? Be prepared! The talk this morning started with the storm of course, since that is no metaphor. That led to some discussion about other […]

Constants in a Sea of Change

The crew was restive this morning. The messaging is in such velocity and so many vectors it has us in a swirl. Section Leader DeMille has admonished some of the crew to adjust social habits and medication, where appropriate, to handle the assorted areas of high interest. So, some of us have been up for […]

The Looky-Loo

Those were the words from a lady in North Carolina who said “if you come for the looky-loo on the storm damage, you out to try to help.” Good watch words with the anniversary last year’s horror that started some of the others we have shared through the messaging of the lst year. Management asked […]

Down on the Farm

Down on The Farm? We got a minor entanglement with the treasurer’s office that caused us to consider residency stuff there and here. And over there. Residency and jurisdiction are just some of the issues in the air and this one was on the windshield this week. Virginia permits assessments of personal property to be […]
