Back at you. Another interesting commentary. For what it is worth, the ones going to Cuba or Gitmo should or will have it better than staying stateside. Thirty thousand to Gitmo? That base is not that big. I was stationed there for nine months.
Not a bad place to be. Kind of primitive in 1970. The officers and Staff Sergeants+ left me alone and I ran my own group fixing communications near the fence.
Hey, Bill, thanks as ever. Had no idea you were down there. You know, it sounded like a lot but despite myself I just thought, wow, 30,000. I need a better vaccine for this bullshit.
I do read your posts. I do what to make sure someone talks to you even if it is BS in your mind.
I have been a few places most people would not or could not venture too.
Seen many things and been in many places in my travels. It is hard to remember them all. Burned through a passport in one year. At times I think about them, what I have done, and how I should have recorded my ventures carefully.
This was well before and during The Fray. At times, I feel like Rutger Hauer at the end of Blade Runner.
Waiting on the VA to recognize what they did to me 50+ years ago at Camp Lejeune.
Did you know Michael Joseph at all? I saw your name on his list. He is dying and has a post on Facebook detailing all the crap he is going through in the hospital, I just got done saying goodbye to him.
I saw the post, Bill, and yeah, just awful to be treated that way. Anytime, really, but most especially under those circumstances. I never interacted with him, just read posts in the group from time to time, but it really struck home given my own situation.
I did not know if you knew. I was a part of that group for a while till I moved to Angry Bear. I had talked to him then. I just wanted him to know someone was thinking of him, would not forget him, and in the end finds peace.
I would not go that far. I am still the same run-a-bunch-of-numbers like so and so called me on The Fray. It has been a good run for me.
I have been so many places in Asia and Europe for weeks and months at a time. I had a driver in Asia and a car in Europe. The companies paid for my gasoline and food. In Europe, they would send me to Czech Republic to talk to a supplier. Drive over from Reithen-Weilhem. Spent the weekend, shot up to Prague, did the castle, the Pink House, the Jewish cemetery, the home of the Golom in the synagogue, drank plenty of great beer. Shoot down to Switzerland.
In Asia, walked the Wall, saw the Ming tombs, Philippines-Corregidor, Thailand their palace and crocodile park, etc.
Jan and I tip well too. We do more than 20% in cash. We are giving back Our three are all degreed.
Just two old gray hairs with one being a belted wing chun do student of James DeMille's Kwoon in Michigan. Been very fortunate as a supply chain guru.
You know, you guys did teach something. "How to write better." It paid off for me as the Germans and others had me write their letters for them. I do not know where you are. But a visit might be in order if it is drivable. Touching all of my bases before my disorder takes me.

Reach out to me if you need help.
Reporters and Democratic Congress members should ask repeatedly: Why was Ulbricht pardoned?

Terrible way to go.

You are a good man, Bill, and I'm proud to know you.
