The. Lieutenent

A lieutenant, knowing a little about a lot, is charged with supervising those who, knowing some about a little, tend to offer excuses and shirk responsibility. 

 A lieutenant communicates the mission through NCO’s to the squads and supervises readiness and progress issuing orders to react to immediate circumstances.  

Mission; an entrusted task which must be accomplished by those who know some about a little without excuse. Mission Success depends on fidelity and trust up and down the chain of command. 

 Supervision; tireless observation to assure resources and manpower are efficiently allocated to accomplish the mission. As rank increases the mission broadens.

Divisive Media

  We would be better served if exposed less.   Television news desks feature two types; field reporters and anchor personalities.   The field reporters address news on-site,   reporting facts for the most part.   Anchors are   on-screen personalities that populate programming 24/7. Media syndicates congregate these personalities to deliver a message.   The underlying agenda is heavily weighted to politics. Media   personalities are generally unskilled, over privileged   narcissists dancing around a narrative; as a group they are out of touch with people, just watch them demonstrate detached interest when exposed in public.   They are grossly over rated opinion leaders;   abusing their position across the board.   The country would be better served if exposed less.   Unfortunately the programming is relatively cheap and effective in delivering eyeballs to advertising content, the penultimate goal off all print and ele...

Hungry Jack Lodge

Mom and I sat on the patio overlooking the lake in the direction of Honeymoon Bluff and enjoyed a beverage as the sun went down.  The memories came flooding back created there over the past 28 years.  We invested a lot of quality gamily time here.  We are currently set up in site 11 in the camp ground.  The new lodge looks terrific.  Forrest has really done a great job with the new facility.  The new dinning room is spectacular and they have a menu at the bar.  They even have their own Hungry Jack Lager  now! We plan to do two day trips while we are here.  One to the east end of Hungry Jack Lake with a portage to West Bearskin and return to the campsite.  The second, on Wed. will take us back to the stairway portage.  That is the site where Deanna and I and Shadow discovered a bull moose eating aquatic plants just off the trail! We hit the portages today and the wind hit us!  After paddling to the far end of Hungry Jack w...

Rome or Utopia?

  Beneficiary of a 300 hundred year old experiment in self governance, three generations of liberty loving ancestors and a robust liberal education; I set poised awaiting the high probability that I won’t survive the next two presidential terms and I wonder what my grandchildren will muse when they achieve three score and ten. In the early days when I first became aware of the uniqueness of our constitutional form of self governance I took solace knowing for sure that “right will out!” Later I learned and was disturbed that Rome fell after centuries of splendor and I asked myself why? Now I know part of the reason was that citizens’ took much for granted. There was a time when our elected representatives seemed to actually care and act upon what was best for our country. Individuals thrived in personal liberty and took initiative to promote the greater good while advancing personal ambition. The entire nation rose and sacrificed twice to defend our form of self government unique i...
