A Fine Line
Post

December 1, 2013

OK, this is going to be a fine line. The “link” included at the end of this post is to a publicly retrievable photograph on someone else’s web page, on Facebook to be precise. The photographer states (read it at the link) that the picture may not be posted so, therefore, I’m not posting it. Instead, I’m posting only the link to the otherwise downloadable image.

Global Hawk
Post

October 6, 2013

The UAV flies at up to 60,000 feet and can “loiter” over an interesting location for 23 hours beaming live surveillance information to observers via satellite - the bulbous nose houses the steerable dish antenna that remains locked on the satellite to be used, some of which are in polar orbits and, therefore, in constant “motion " relative to Earth-side locations.

The 618 Airport Rd address is predictably next to Oceanside’s tiny airport. Skydivers were alternately being ferried up and parachuting down when I arrived about 6:00 PM.

The deadlock is an intentional feature of the US Constitution. It is supposed to happen when the government becomes heavily divided – it is supposed to stop the government so that the people – that’s you and me – have the time and incentive to act.
