I have since been discharged from the hospital (John “JP” Powell, the founder of JP Aerospace was a great help there and setting travel) and am staying with my brother and his family for a few days in Denver before traveling to Yellowstone to start my usual summer-time job of counting beans. I’ll keep the bandages and immobilizing harness thingie on for somewhere around 3 weeks, then about a month later my arm should be back up to strength. My wonderful summer employer at Yellowstone, Xanterra Parks and Resorts has been very understanding.
The JP Aerospace crew managed to recover the final two payloads (which were also the targets of that ill-fated attempt on Tuesday) last Saturday. So we’re looking good on that side.
Thanks to everyone for their care (and Rand for the blog article). I’m doing well.
There’s been talk that the cabinet position Wasserman Schultz would be in line for would be the Secretary of Health and Human Services,which is currently under the direction of Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. C’mon, wouldn’t you all want Debbie in charge of administering government-run health care for over 300 million people?
Like we needed more reasons to not want Obama to be reelected.
Why aren’t we helping them? I think that politics in an election year is the most likely reason. And it’s infuriating, because just as Obama blew an opportunity to help the Iranians in their uprising, he’s now missing a strategic opportunity to take out a long-time linchpin of the enemy in the Middle East. We had no strategic interest in removing Khadaffi (or however his name was spelled) but we do in removing Assad.
