Slight apology for the truncated NoJoMo post earlier. I was kind of distracted trying to find a photo of my dad from late in his time in the Army. I did find it squirreled away in social media I’d hidden from public view back during the great de-monetizing of about summer 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is really the only photo I have of him kind of as I remember him from his time on active duty. He retired from the Army maybe six weeks after I’d finished high school, and, really before the ubiquity of digital photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attempts at on-line dating in about 1999 were difficult with things like the QuickCam<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s do a camera over the parallel port with power coming from the PS\/2 mouse port…<\/p>\n\n\n\n So there’s not lots of photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With a good, modern scanner, I might be able to import some things, but that’d require access to the photos (and books) where they reside. Unfortunately, those are split among various boxes at my mother’s house, and various relatives’ houses after they’d scooped up what they could in amongst moving her to assisted living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Doing much of anything is difficult from nearly a thousand miles away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But I eventually did find it, and sent it to the coordinator at the facility where she is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve also been distracted by various news things that are popping up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I guess the woke contingent are upset at John Fetterman for supporting Ismael. So, too, I saw something on X that Elizabeth Warren was trending because people came and bothered her at dinner for her support of Israel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While my initial reaction was, “you reap what you sow,” I’m not going to go there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It was bad when the BLM protestors were doing it to diners at Le Diplomat<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s bad when they’re doing to to Senator Warren wherever the hell she was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t ever tolerate those who do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
