February 2011 - Argghhh! - The Network of Care

Here in Kansas... we like our pendulum swings to be wiiiiide.

So, some years ago we struggled our way to concealed carry, over then Governor now HHS Secretary Sebelius' (Ha ha! We got rid of her - oh, wait, no we didn't...) strong objections . Because, as we all know , the streets will run red with the blood of innocents when law abiding citizens are allowed to carry a firearm. Really. It happens all the time. What? It doesn't? But, but, BradyShumerStein assure us that's the case, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Letting you out of skool - the Whatziss revealed.

For the record - Og got it on the second day. During the '20s and '30s the Japanese experimented with radio-controlled agricultural tractors and later, vehicles with a military purpose. The Whatziss is reputedly one that was developed for mine-clearing duties. No, I don't know what that contraption is on the side, above the tracks. I'm assuming it was an attachment point or something similar, for a tool of some sort that isn't pictured. As-is, that thing isn't clearing any...

Ahhhh those lazy days of summer...

...spent in the motor pool, fixing broke stuff, breaking unbroken stuff by messing with it, topping off those fluids, rubbing the vehicle down with diesel for a display or parade (made that dull camo job *pop*), breaking track and knuckles...

And the world just got a little more complicated...

...what with another armed robot in the skies. I recognize that these things are, for the nonce, fiendishly expensive - but one hopes we're working as hard on the countermeasures as we are on the aircraft. before one drifts across a border inbound. This genie is out of the bottle, and has been for a while.

Fail, Epic, Caption, US DoD, 1ea.

Fair and balanced, that's us. If we're going to snark the MSM for bad captions and info, we also need to snark bad captions and info from what should properly be accurate sources... but aren't. Take a look at the caption provided with the picture (taken from the official DoD media portal, DVIDShub.net): Iraqi forces drive M-1A1 Abrams in a parade during the Iraqi Army Day celebration in the International Zone, Iraq, Jan. 6, 2011. Iraqi Army Day was celebrated by Iraqi forces parading...

Who knew there were any left?

There are less than 100 of them. Children of Civil War soldiers . Heck, I'm a great-grandson of one, and my grandfather passed on in 1972... Some of those Civil War vets were, um, *vigorous* men! H/t, Toluca Nole.

Fort Leavenworth Historical Society Militaria Show

Tomorrow, at the Leavenworth Riverfront Community Center on 2nd Street in Leavenworth. I'll be the guy with the flame thrower. I doubt there'll be too many of us. A tiny little show, but a fun one, more focused on collectors than the big shows.
