It's curious how I remember, one time in the past, when I was moving into a new apartment. After I toured the apartment and told the manager I wanted to move in, they told me I would be getting until 303 and they gave me a specific date to move in. The move in date arrived and I went down to that apartment building with my stuff to start moving in but when I got there, they told me that the apartment wasn't ready and they would call me when one was ready. I was annoyed about coming all the way out there just to have to go back. Eventually, they called me back and told me an apartment was ready and I felt suspicious they put me into an apartment specifically so that I would have zombies listening through the walls from the unit next to me, which is - suspiciously - unit 334. The city police force was well aware of the zombies that are stalking me. I'm not really certain what they are trying to prove as I go about my official United States federal assignment, other than to know how close I am to arresting them for proving material support to an insurrection against the United States of America.
Maybe you should start trying to dig up to get out of that hole you dug for yourself.

Proclamation 5788—National Former Prisoners of War Recognition Day, 1988
April 1st, 1988
It is truly fitting that America observe April 9 in recognition of our former prisoners of war; that date is the 46th anniversary of the day in 1942 when U.S. forces holding out on the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines were captured. Later, as prisoners of war, these gallant Americans were subjected to the infamous Bataan Death March and to other inhumane treatment that killed thousands of them before they could be liberated. In every conflict, brutality has invariably been meted out to American prisoners of war; on April 9 and every day, we must remember with solemn pride and gratitude that valor and tenacity have ever been our prisoners' response.
That is clear from the words of then-Captain Jeremiah Denton, USN, when he and other U.S. prisoners of war were freed in 1973 after years of captivity in North Vietnam. "We are honored to have had the opportunity to serve our country under these difficult circumstances," Captain Denton said. Implacable and incredible courage, endurance, faith, and patriotism were behind those words—eloquent and immortal testimony to the spirit of America's Armed Forces in the Vietnam War and throughout our history.
The term "difficult circumstances" referred to nothing less than physical and mental torture, starvation, disease, separation from loved ones, and deprivation of medical treatment—an ordeal that for some, in every conflict, did not end until death. To their brave families we offer solace and salute. To our former prisoners of war who endured so much, we say that with your example and with God's help we will seek to meet the standards of devotion you have set; we will never forget your service or your sacrifice.
The Congress, by Public Law 100-269, has designated April 9, 1988, as "National Former Prisoners of War Recognition Day" and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim April 9, 1988, as National Former Prisoners of War Recognition Day, and I urge all Americans to observe this day of remembrance with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eightyeight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramp
A tramp (at least in British English usage) is a vagrant or itinerant who travels from place to place, traditionally “tramping”, that is, walking.
While tramps may do odd jobs from time to time, they do not seek out regular work and support themselves by other means i.e. begging or scavenging. This is in contrast to:
hobos who travel from place to place (often by catching rides on freight trains) looking for work.
schnorrers, who travel from city to city begging. “Schnorrer” is a Yiddish term.
bum, a stationary homeless person who does not work, hence begs or steals for a living
Both terms, “tramp” and “hobo” (and the distinction between them), were in common use between the 1880s and the 1940s, and were not limited to the Great Depression.
Like “hobo” and “bum”, “tramp” is considered somewhat rude in American English usage, having been subsumed in more polite contexts by words such as “homeless person” or “transient”. It remains relatively more common in British English, but has also been somewhat replaced with “homeless person”.
A vacilando is a kind of tramp for whom the travel as such is more important than the destination.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tramp
The Tramp, also known as The Little Tramp, was Charlie Chaplin's most memorable on-screen character, a recognized icon of world cinema most dominant during the silent film era.
The Tramp, as portrayed by Chaplin, is a bumbling but usually good-hearted character who is most famously presented as a vagrant who endeavors to behave with the manners and dignity of a gentleman despite his actual social status. However, while he is ready to take what paying work that is available, he also uses his cunning to get what he needs to survive and escape the authority figures who will not tolerate it. Chaplin's films did not always portray "The Tramp" (or "The Little Fellow," as Chaplin called him) as a vagrant, however. The character was rarely referred to by any names onscreen, although he was sometimes identified as "Charlie" and rarely, as in the original silent version of The Gold Rush, "The Little Tramp".

Clyde Everett Lassen (1942-1994), a native of Fort Myers, Florida, was a United States Navy aviator who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his rescue of two downed aviators while piloting a search and rescue helicopter in Vietnam.
The Mission
On June 19, 1968, Lassen, then a 27 year old Lieutenant (LT) flying a UH-2 Seasprite, embarked on a mission to recover two downed naval aviators whose plane had been shot down deep in North Vietnamese territory. Upon reaching the hilly terrain where the aviators were hiding. LT Lassen made several attempts to recover the aviators, but dense tree cover, enemy weapons fire and intermittent illumination frustrated his efforts. LT Lassen turned on the landing lights of the helicopter, despite the danger of revealing his position to the enemy. After the pilots made their way to the helicopter and with his bullet-riddled helicopter dangerously low on fuel, LT Lassen evaded further antiaircraft fire before landing safely at sea onboard a guided missile destroyer with only five minutes of fuel left in the helicopter's fuel lines. The account of the rescue was logged as a successful, routine search and rescue mission.
LT Lassen became the first naval aviator and fifth Navy man to be awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery in Vietnam. In 2001, a Naval Destroyer was commissioned and named after him: USS Lassen (DDG 82).

I always feel there is something very profound, other than the obvious, about that scene in "Flight of the Intruder" where "Tiger Cole" is watching the bombs falling towards him. While I think that sequence represents 4/14/1986 and my escape from Libya, I don't think I saw the strike that day on the building I was in and probably only heard the jets, although I might not have even heard anything because of the explosion concussion. What I think is profound, I think, about that scene is that it reminds me of standing on the Sir Galahad in 1982 during the Falklands War and watching an Argentine bomber drop the bombs on that ship.
I also find myself thinking about how lonely I must have felt on 11/26/1976, thinking I would never leave that moon. That scene of "Tiger Cole" makes me think of that too. I will probably look back over events of the past few years and think of it in those terms.
I have also been thinking that I discovered there was oxygen because I something I had on fire remained smouldering on the surface of the planet and that was how I knew there was an oxygen source. Something like that.

This actress was 44 years, 15 weeks, 4 days, older than Phoebe. I found myself pondering over how "Tom Highway" asks if his room is still available to him, in the movie. She comments that she pours "Tom Highway's" coffee every morning and lays out his clothes. Her character's name, "Mary" makes me think of Annapolis, Maryland. I don't recall any time in the movie where she is called "Little Mary," but I need to go back and watch again. Her husband was a U.S. Marine and died in Vietnam in 1968, as established by the dialog in the movie. It's the little things you miss about the person you care most about, along with all the other qualities of that person.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_Jackson
Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21,[1] 1824 – May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and probably the most revered Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee.[2] He is most famous for his audacious Valley Campaign of 1862 and as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. His own troops accidentally shot him at the battle of Chancellorsville and he died of complications from an amputated arm and pneumonia several days later.
Military historians consider Jackson to be one of the most gifted tactical commanders in United States history. His Valley Campaign and his envelopment of the Union Army right wing at Chancellorsville are studied worldwide even today as examples of innovative and bold leadership. He excelled as well at the First Battle of Bull Run (where he received his famous nickname), Second Bull Run, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. Jackson was not universally successful as a commander, however, as displayed by his weak and confused efforts during the Seven Days Battles around Richmond in 1862. His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only its military prospects, but the morale of its army and the general public; as Jackson lay dying, General Robert E. Lee stated, "He has lost his left arm; I have lost my right."

Memorable quotes for
Solaris (2002)
[Speaking for the first time]
Rheya Kelvin: Don't blow it.
Chris Kelvin: [laughs] You start.
Rheya Kelvin: I did.
Chris Kelvin: Really? All right, I'm going to resist the impulse to ask you about the doorknob.
Rheya Kelvin: Do you always resist your impulses?
Chris Kelvin: Not always.
Rheya Kelvin: Try poetry.
Chris Kelvin: And death shall have no dominion...
Rheya Kelvin: Mm, Thomas. It's not a very happy poem, though.
Chris Kelvin: Well, you didn't seem very happy when I saw you on the train.
Rheya Kelvin: [laughs] I wasn't.
Chris Kelvin: And tonight?
Rheya Kelvin: It's early.
Chris Kelvin: Earth. Even the word sounded strange to me now... unfamiliar. How long had I been gone? How long had I been back? Did it matter? I tried to find the rhythm of the world where I used to live. I followed the current. I was silent, attentive, I made a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand, and perform the millions of gestures that constitute life on earth. I studied these gestures until they became reflexes again. But I was haunted by the idea that I remembered her wrong, and somehow I was wrong about everything.
