ANSWER TO POP QUIZ; “RICK” WAS HIS FIRST NAME

WHAT FAMOUS SAYING WAS CREDITED TO BOGART IN CASABLANCA BUT HE DENIED EVER SAYING IT?

DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE WORLD ENDING TODAY! IT’S ALREADY TOMORROW IN AUSTRALIA!

FINALLY GOT THE INTREPID LOADED UP AND READY TO GO! KELLY WILL TAKE IT TO WORK WITH HIM AND TO B&B WHEN HE GETS OFF AT 1:30 TOMORROW AFTERNOON!.

I STARTED IT UP THIS MORNING AND TRIED TO PULL IT OUT SO WE COULD LOAD IT ON THE 2 WHEEL DOLLY BUT IT WOULDN’T MOVE FORWARD BUT IT WOULD BACK UP SO WE PULLED IT OUT WITH THE ACCLAIM AND THEN WE WERE GOING TO USE THE ACCLAIM TO PUSH IT UP ON THE DOLLY BUT AS SOON AS MOM TOUCHED IT WITH THE FRONT BUMPER IT STARTED TO PULL IN DRIVE AND I PUT IT ON THE DOLLY!  DON’T START ME TO LYING, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY! I CALLED AND ASKED TIM WHAT DID IT PULL IN FOR HIM AND HE SAID DRIVE AND WHEN HE STOPPED THEY HAD TO PUSH IT IN THE GARAGE, IT WOULDN’T BACK UP! WEIRD!

WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IT’S GOING TO TAKE B&B TO GET THE TRANSMISSION CHANGED? HE HAS OTHER JOBS AHEAD OF  US, HE’LL CALL ME WHEN IT’S DONE! I KNOW EDDY AND HE’LL GET IT OUT AS FAST AS HE CAN! WE STILL HAVE TO LICENSE AND INSURE IT WE WAITED TILL IT WAS GOING TO THE SHOP BEFORE DOING THAT! I’LL HAVE MOM CALL THE INSURANCE PEOPLE AND HAVE THEM SHOW IT ON OUR POLICY UNTIL WE CAN GET IT TO THEM TO CHECK THE VIN #!

THAT’S ABOUT ALL WE DID TODAY EXCEPT GO PICK UP HALEY JO!

 

THE BUCK STOPS HERE CONT’D

THE PYRAMID IS UNCAPPED, AGAIN SIGNIFYING THAT WE WERE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED. INSIDE THE CAPSTONE YOU HAVE THE ALL SEEING EYE AND THE ANCIENT SYMBOL FOR DIVINITY. IT WAS FRANKLIN’S BELIEF THAT ONE MAN COULDN’T DO IT ALONE, BUT A GROUP OF MEN, WITH THE HELP OF GOD, COULD DO ANYTHING. “IN GOD WE TRUST” IS ON OUR CURRENCY. THE LATIN ABOVE THE PYRAMID, ANNUIT COEPTIS, MEANS “GOD HAS FAVORED OUR UNDERTAKING.” THE LATIN BELOW THE PYRAMID, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, MEANS “A NEW ORDER HAS BEGUN.” AT THE BASE OF THE PYRAMID IS THE ROMAN NUMERAL FOR 1776.

IF YOU WILL LOOK AT THE RIGHT-HAND CIRCLE, AND CHECK IT CAREFULLY, YOU WILL LEARN THAT IT IS ON EVERY NATIONAL CEMETERY IN THE UNITED STATES.IT IS ALSO ON THE PARADE OF FLAGS WALKWAY AT THE BUSHNELL, FLORIDA NATIONAL CEMETERY AND IS THE CENTER PIECE OF MOST HEROE’S MONUMENTS. SLIGHTLY MODIFIED IT IS THE SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND IT IS ALWAYS VISABLE WHENEVER HE SPEAKS, YET NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE SYMBOLS MEAN.

THE BALD EAGLE WAS SELECTED AS A SYMBOL FOR VICTORY FOR TWO REASONS; FIRST, HE IS NOT AFRAID OF A STORM; HE IS STRONG AND IS SMART ENOUGH TO SOAR ABOVE IT. SECONDLY; HE WEARS NO MATERIAL CROWN. WE HAD JUST BROKEN FROM THE KING OF ENGLAND. ALSO, THE SHIELD IS UNSUPPORTED. THIS COUNTRY CAN NOW STAND ON ITS OWN. AT THE TOP OF THAT SHIELD YOU HAVE A WHITE BAR SIGNIFYING CONGRESS, A UNIFYING FACTOR. WE WERE COMING TOGETHER AS ONE NATION. IN THE EAGLES BEAK YOU WILL READ, “E PLURIBUS UNUM”,   MEANING “ONE NATION FROM MANY PEOPLE.”

ABOVE THE EAGLE YOU HAVE THIRTEEN STARS REPRESENTING THE THIRTEEN ORIGINAL COLONIES, AND ANY CLOUDS OF MISUNDERSTANDING ROLLING AWAY. AGAIN, WE WERE COMING TOGETHER AS ONE. NOTICE WHAT THE EAGLE HOLDS IN HIS TALONS, HE HOLDS AN OLIVE BRANCH AND ARROWS. THIS COUNTRY WANTS PEACE, BUT WE WILL NEVER BE AFRAID TO FIGHT TO PRESERVE PEACE. THE EAGLE ALWAYS WANTS TO FACE THE OLIVE BRANCH, BUT IN TIME OF WAR, HIS GAZE TURNS TOWARD THE ARROWS. THEY SAY THE NUMBER 13 IS AN UNLUCKY NUMBER. THIS IS ALMOST A WORLDWIDE BELIEF. YOU WILL USUALLY NEVER SEE A ROOM NUMBERED 13, OR A HOTEL OR MOTEL WITH A 13^TH FLOOR. BUT, THINK ABOUT THIS; 13 ORIGINAL COLONIES, 13 SIGNERS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, 13 STRIPES ON OUR FLAG, 13 STEPS ON THE PYRAMID, 13 LETTERS IN THE LATIN ABOVE, 13 LETTERS IN “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” 13 STARS ABOVE THE EAGLE, 13 PLUMS OF FEATHERS ON EACH SPAN OF THE EAGLE’S WING, 13 BARS ON THAT SHIELD, 13 LEAVES ON THE OLIVE BRANCH, 13 FRUITS, AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, 13 ARROWS, AND FOR MINORITIES; THE 13^TH AMMENDMENT.

I ALWAYS ASK PEOPLE, “WHY DON’T YOU KNOW THIS?” YOUR CHILDREN DON’T KNOW THIS AND THEIR HISTORY TEACHERS DON’T KNOW THIS. TOO MANY VETERANS HAVE GIVEN UP TOO MUCH TO EVER LET THE MEANING FADE. MANY VETERANS REMEMBER COMING HOME TO AN AMERICA THAT DIDN’T CARE. TOO MANY VETERANS NEVER CAME HOME AT ALL. TELL EVERYONE WHAT IS ON THE BACK OF THE ONE-DOLLAR BILL AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR, BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE WILL.

THIS WAS WRITTEN BY; DALE THOMPSON, UNITED STATES ARMY, 1964-1971

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
