It sure does seem like we are feeling the first few raindrops of our Storm. Which is about dang time, because for the last few weeks, we've been dealing with their Storm. Let's have them reading horrific news on a daily basis for a change, instead of us reading about their damn "demonstrations" (really riots) … Continue reading 2020·06·13 KMAG Daily Thread

2020·06·06 KMAG Daily Thread–D Day, 76th Anniversary
Warfare has changed over the millennia. It has gone from hand-to-hand with clubs and blades, to involving archery, to firearms. And as that has been going on, it has also involved naval warfare, because seas were (and are) excellent means of delivering supplies and soldiers, so control of the seas became essential. And, over the … Continue reading 2020·06·06 KMAG Daily Thread–D Day, 76th Anniversary

Back to Space!! Obola made a mistake when he killed NASA's manned spaceflight capability. But perhaps not in the way you're thinking. We've been having to hitch rides to the ISS on Russian boosters ever since the Space Transportation System (the "Space Shuttle") was decommissioned in 2011. At the time Obola said it was to … Continue reading 2020·05·30 KMAG Daily Thread
Of Exponents and Viruses
As I've been reading many of the comments here regarding the Wuhan Coronavirus, it has become obvious that many do not understand exponential growth, or, perhaps, haven't really realized its implications. I hope to rectify that. This is a bit of a ramble. I hope it's understandable. Exponential Growth, Introduced. I'm going to start by … Continue reading Of Exponents and Viruses
Another Sirius Tale of Two Stars
We start, once again with Orion...but we move east (left) and south (down) a bit...at least as seen from the Northern Hemisphere, around midnight. Shortly after sunset, just look straight down. Follow the line of the belt stars towards the eastern horizon. See that very bright star there? That's Sirius. It's the brightest star in … Continue reading Another Sirius Tale of Two Stars
A Tale of Two Stars
Note: I posted a shorter version of this as a comment over at Marica's. Their topic for today is "When You Wish Upon A Star" and I thought I'd say something about Betelgeuse. Then I found myself wanting to talk about Rigel, too...so it just growed and growed. There's nothing political here. If you want … Continue reading A Tale of Two Stars
19 October 1781–The Surrender at Yorktown
Today marks the anniversary of the last major battle of the Revolutionary War. With the French fleet under de Grasse blocking evacuation by sea, Cornwallis was trapped and the Continental Army under George Washington, and French forces under Rochambeau, laid siege on the 14th of October. Within days Cornwallis was forced to surrender. He did … Continue reading 19 October 1781–The Surrender at Yorktown
APOLLO 11: A triumph of Man Living in Freedom
NOTE: I had a beautiful version of this. Then I tried to move a picture, and lost it all. This is but a shadow of its former self. Today marks the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest achievements of humanity, the landing of men on the moon for the first time, July 20th, 1969. … Continue reading APOLLO 11: A triumph of Man Living in Freedom
When in the Course of Human Events…
I'm going to get out of the way, here, and let someone who was a far better writer than I am speak his piece: When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of … Continue reading When in the Course of Human Events…
I am Q
Q !!mG7VJxZNCI I was away the last few days coordinating the final phases of The Plan. Trust The Plan. You don't believe me? You say, I've been a Q skeptic and an atheist and neither one is consistent with being Q? Bwahahahah! What better cover? Really, what better cover? But now the time has come … Continue reading I am Q
