I was relieved when that contract was up. My best friend at the time had a very high clearance at JPL in Pasadena. I don't know if it was Q or whatever the highest one was but all her friends and family were interviewed for months before she received the clearance. They did extensive background checks of everything. After that our conversations NEVER included anything about her work. I was very proud of her but afraid for her too. Of course her clearance could not be discussed. That would make her a target of someone for something nefarious. It changed our friendship. Ever experience anything like that? less

My friend was miffed and thought I should have offered the final slice to him. So I asked him, "Were you going to offer it to me?" He replied he was. Had he done so, I would have accepted it and the situation would be exactly what it was.

Maybe even including jeopardizing their country, fellow citizens or family. I dunno the why of it. Do you?

And maybe one of the factors he might be considering is a war with North Korea would divert attention away from him and the Russian hacking investigation. Cheers!

Some of the symptoms are rashes, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the very dangerous Anaphylaxis! Be grateful you aren't them. You are, aren't you?

Did they forgive us for Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Have our Japanese American citizens ever forgiven us for putting them in interment camps? What does forgive and forget consist of? Loss of memory? I believe there is a Holocaust Museum in Germany. Germany apologized for what the Nazis did and I think tried to make reparations although I am not certain of that. Have the Jewish people forgiven the German people? Forgiveness is such an elusive thing. It's easier to forgive if you forget but how do you forget the horrors of war and what terrible things people do to one another? I know. It's complicated. less

The poster changed pole into poll. Harumph!Exhibit 2: Male contenders should be disqualified not showing any pole in their contributions. NO, their third leg won't be accepted in this context. Ugh!Exhibit 3: Poster of poll makes bigly efforts chasing supporters away from voting Team Sapph, by telling supporters Team Sapph is suspended. Grrr!Exhibit 4: Other female contender tries rig the results by having husband join aM to upvote her contribution, not by asking him to vote by conscience of best contribution. Gah!Exhibit 5: Fake potatoes have been added to the poll to confuse and steal votes from Team Sapph. Foul!There will be more exhibits that we aren't aware of yet. Be assured we will not rest our case before justice has been found. Team Sapph!Why, you ask?

Surviving and slowly dying of radiation poisoning probably is not fun. Oh dear. Is nuclear war getting ever nearer? What can we do to stop its advance? Any ideas?
