Phoebe

I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe after my 1/21/1976 visit to the planet Mars.

From 6/7/1976 to 6/1/2006 is 359 months, 3 weeks, 4 days

359-34

The day 6/7/1976 is the date I recognize as when I arrived at the Saturn moon Phoebe. The single track “Rio” from Duran Duran released 334 weeks after 6/7/1976. At that time in 1982, I would have been out in the U.S. Navy fleet flying the F-14 Tomcat, where the person in the backseat of that aircraft was called the R.I.O., or Radar Intercept Officer. There is probably some kind of inside joke between us that she was my RIO when I was home. Something like that. Something about how I thought of her.

From 6/7/1976 to 11/1/1982 is: 334 weeks

Released November 1, 1982

"Rio" is a hit single from the album Rio by Duran Duran, and one of their most recognisable songs and music videos. "Rio" was released worldwide in November, 1982, then was reissued in the United States in March of 1983, and was a Top 20 hit on both sides of the Atlantic.



I recognize the date Monday, 6/7/1976, as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe.

December 23, 1968: Monday
December 11, 1972: Monday

From 7/16/1963 to 6/7/1976 is: 4710 days
From 6/7/1976 to 11/21/1983 is: 2723 days
4710 - 2723 = 1987
From 7/16/1963 to 12/23/1968 is: 1987 days

That day 7/2/1976 is the date I recognize when I arrived at the comet in the outer solar system, which I then successfully diverted on 7/4/1976. I assume I was asked by the U.S. Navy if I wanted to select the decommissioning date of the USS Ray and I made the proper calculations to create this detail.

From 4/12/1967 to 3/16/1993 is: 9470 days
9470 / 2 = 4735

USS Ray (SSN 653)

Commissioned: April 12, 1967
Decommissioned: March 16, 1993


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Ray_%28SSN-653%29

USS Ray (SSN-653), a Sturgeon-class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the ray, a fish characterized by a flat body, large pectoral fins, and a whiplike tail. The contract to build her was awarded to Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company on 26 March 1963 and her keel was laid down on 4 January 1965. She was launched on 21 June 1966 sponsored by Mrs. Thomas H. Kuchel, and commissioned on 12 April 1967, with Commander Albert L. Kelln in command.

On 20 September 1977, due to a combination of equipment failure and crew inexperience, Ray struck a coral mountain while submerged in the Mediterranean Sea. Her sonar equipment was destroyed and the auxiliary diesel engine was knocked off its mounts. Repairs required a year of work at Charleston Naval Shipyard in South Carolina.



The person I “remember” as Thedia Newman’s father was born 59 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, before the first launch of the space shuttle on 4/12/1981. I guess that is a clue designed to reflect that I was on that flight and that I was attending the U.S. Naval Academy with the Class of 1982, at the time.

The woman who portrayed the mother of Debra Winger's character was 35.90 years old on 4/14/1977. I recognize the date 4/14/1977 as when I returned to Earth from my mission to intercept the comet.

That was the name of Thedia's little white dog in my artificial and symbolic memories of childhood - Taffy.



The precise mid-point of 3/3/1959 and the commissioning of the USS Russell DDG-59 is 4/10/1977. I recognize the date 4/14/1977 as when I returned to Earth after successfully diverting the comet in the outer solar system. From what I have read so far, those Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are always commissioned on Saturdays, which creates a constraint on the symbolism, because to create a precise mid-point date, the commissioning date would not have been on a Saturday. I believe this ship's commissioning date was a scheduled, with my permission, to point to 4/14/1977.

The premiere date for "Gremlins" was precisely 414 weeks after 7/2/1976. That date 7/2/1976 is the date I recognize as when I intercepted the comet. I recognize the date 4/14/1977 as when I returned to Earth after 17 months in deep space to successfully divert the comet. Assuming I had some form of creative control over this movie, it is another example of my desire to thoroughly associate my wife, Phoebe, with the events of my life.

A gremlin is a folkloric creature, commonly depicted as mischievous and mechanically oriented with a specific interest in aircraft. Their origin is found in myths among airmen, claiming that the gremlins were responsible for sabotaging aircraft. In later times, different fantastical creatures have been referred to as gremlins, bearing varying degrees of resemblance to the original gremlins.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Wales

Thomas C. Wales (1952–2001) was a federal prosecutor and gun control advocate from Seattle, Washington, who was the victim of an unsolved murder.

Wales was born in Boston, Massachusetts. After his graduation from Milton Academy, he went to Harvard University and then to Hofstra Law School, where he graduated with distinction in 1979 and served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review.

He worked as a U.S. Attorney in Seattle and specialized on the investigation and prosecution of fraud in banking and business. As a community volunteer, he was active in civic organizations and served as a trustee of the Federal Bar Association. He was president of an anti-gun organization, Washington CeaseFire ([1]). He died on October 12, 2001, aged 49, one day after having been shot by an unknown subject. He was shot while sitting at a computer in his basement. His murderer apparently shot him and fled through Wales' back yard.

There is an open reward of one million U.S. dollars for information leading to the conclusion of the case.

The Seattle Times reported that in 2006 two homes and vehicles belonging to a man whom Wales had prosecuted were searched by the FBI in further investigation of the murder. The owner of the homes and vehicles was a pilot who, with others, Wales had prosecuted in a fraud case. Charges against the pilot and others were dismissed but the corporation they ran was convicted. The pilot later filed a malicious prosecution claim seeking $125,000 in legal fees but the complaint was dismissed.

In his memory, the Thomas C. Wales Foundation ([2]) was set up to support civil commitment.

In the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy, media reports suggest that John McKay may have in part been dismissed from his position as United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington due to conflicts with his superiors at the Department of Justice concerning the investigation of Wales murder. [1] One media story asserts that McKay felt "that senior Justice officials were not paying enough attention to the case".



JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Annapolis

I happened to glance at this article and it reminded me of something I had thought of a few times in recent memory. It was a time when Randy Romines father was in the hospital. He was dying from emphysema. That would have been 1978 I believe. I spent the night at least once on the sofa in his hospital room. I can't remember for certain his name, but I'm pretty sure it was Ronnie Romine. This article describes when Ronald Reagan was in the hospital after being shot by an assassin. He was having a lot of trouble it sounds like with the breathing tubes and he wanted to thank the nurse for staying with him. The article states her name as Marisa Mize.

Reagan, trauma past, seeks his Florence Nightingale

Ten weeks have passed since the assassination attempt on President Reagan


I wonder why I had that dream a while back where I was talking to Fleet Admiral Nimitz? I can't remember what we were talking about. I remember that I was still thinking of myself as a former PO2 back during the time of the dream. I wonder if it was a clue to get me thinking about the USS Ronald Reagan, which I think is a Nimitz-class. Maybe it means that I am on track to become a Fleet Admiral myself someday. Although, I don't know, I need to look this up, but I think they only award that 5th star for extraordinary circumstances. In my current memory, I know only of that one 5-star and that was because of WW2.

I had a dream last night about something but I can only remember one detail. There were 5 Medals of Honor hanging near me and someone said they were mine. That would be consistent with other thoughts I have had for a while and could be the 5 stars from that dream where I was talking to Nimitz. But I still don't actually remember any specific details. It's hard to say what I actually remember. I seem to remember something, but I don't consciously remember anything from my real life.
