Subject: Re: High Steel Bridge


Right north of where the road crosses a big creek, is a point where it crosses a little creek. There are some unofficial campgrounds around the little creek bridge where I sleep in my Jeep a couple nights. I left a tent there too, it was too little to sleep in. Up the road to the north is an offroad to the right that goes up the mountain where I stayed for a while, but I'm having trouble locating it on the map. I really want to go back up there when I am free again from this chaos.

'"Communism," said I to myself.

'And on the heels of that came another thought. I looked at the half-dozen little figures that were following me. Then, in a flash, I perceived that all had the same form of costume, the same soft hairless visage, and the same girlish rotundity of limb. It may seem strange, perhaps, that I had not noticed this before. But everything was so strange. Now, I saw the fact plainly enough. In costume, and in all the differences of texture and bearing that now mark off the sexes from each other, these people of the future were alike. And the children seemed to my eyes to be but the miniatures of their parents. I judged, then, that the children of that time were extremely precocious, physically at least, and I found afterwards abundant verification of my opinion.

'Seeing the ease and security in which these people were living, I felt that this close resemblance of the sexes was after all what one would expect; for the strength of a man and the softness of a woman, the institution of the family, and the differentiation of occupations are mere militant necessities of an age of physical force; where population is balanced and abundant, much childbearing becomes an evil rather than a blessing to the State; where violence comes but rarely and off-spring are secure, there is less necessity—indeed there is no necessity—for an efficient family, and the specialization of the sexes with reference to their children's needs disappears. We see some beginnings of this even in our own time, and in this future age it was complete. This, I must remind you, was my speculation at the time. Later, I was to appreciate how far it fell short of the reality.

'While I was musing upon these things, my attention was attracted by a pretty little structure, like a well under a cupola. I thought in a transitory way of the oddness of wells still existing, and then resumed the thread of my speculations. There were no large buildings towards the top of the hill, and as my walking powers were evidently miraculous, I was presently left alone for the first time. With a strange sense of freedom and adventure I pushed on up to the crest.

'There I found a seat of some yellow metal that I did not recognize, corroded in places with a kind of pinkish rust and half smothered in soft moss, the arm-rests cast and filed into the resemblance of griffins' heads. I sat down on it, and I surveyed the broad view of our old world under the sunset of that long day. It was as sweet and fair a view as I have ever seen. The sun had already gone below the horizon and the west was flaming gold, touched with some horizontal bars of purple and crimson. Below was the valley of the Thames, in which the river lay like a band of burnished steel. I have already spoken of the great palaces dotted about among the variegated greenery, some in ruins and some still occupied. Here and there rose a white or silvery figure in the waste garden of the earth, here and there came the sharp vertical line of some cupola or obelisk. There were no hedges, no signs of proprietary rights, no evidences of agriculture; the whole earth had become a garden.

'So watching, I began to put my interpretation upon the things I had seen, and as it shaped itself to me that evening, my interpretation was something in this way. (Afterwards I found I had got only a half-truth—or only a glimpse of one facet of the truth.)

'It seemed to me that I had happened upon humanity upon the wane. The ruddy sunset set me thinking of the sunset of mankind. For the first time I began to realize an odd consequence of the social effort in which we are at present engaged. And yet, come to think, it is a logical consequence enough. Strength is the outcome of need; security sets a premium on feebleness. The work of ameliorating the conditions of life—the true civilizing process that makes life more and more secure—had gone steadily on to a climax. One triumph of a united humanity over Nature had followed another. Things that are now mere dreams had become projects deliberately put in hand and carried forward. And the harvest was what I saw!

'After all, the sanitation and the agriculture of to-day are still in the rudimentary stage. The science of our time has attacked but a little department of the field of human disease, but even so, it spreads its operations very steadily and persistently. Our agriculture and horticulture destroy a weed just here and there and cultivate perhaps a score or so of wholesome plants, leaving the greater number to fight out a balance as they can. We improve our favourite plants and animals—and how few they are—gradually by selective breeding; now a new and better peach, now a seedless grape, now a sweeter and larger flower, now a more convenient breed of cattle. We improve them gradually, because our ideals are vague and tentative, and our knowledge is very limited; because Nature, too, is shy and slow in our clumsy hands. Some day all this will be better organized, and still better. That is the drift of the current in spite of the eddies. The whole world will be intelligent, educated, and co-operating; things will move faster and faster towards the subjugation of Nature. In the end, wisely and carefully we shall readjust the balance of animal and vegetable life to suit our human needs.

'This adjustment, I say, must have been done, and done well; done indeed for all Time, in the space of Time across which my machine had leaped. The air was free from gnats, the earth from weeds or fungi; everywhere were fruits and sweet and delightful flowers; brilliant butterflies flew hither and thither. The ideal of preventive medicine was attained. Diseases had been stamped out. I saw no evidence of any contagious diseases during all my stay. And I shall have to tell you later that even the processes of putrefaction and decay had been profoundly affected by these changes.

'Social triumphs, too, had been effected. I saw mankind housed in splendid shelters, gloriously clothed, and as yet I had found them engaged in no toil. There were no signs of struggle, neither social nor economical struggle. The shop, the advertisement, traffic, all that commerce which constitutes the body of our world, was gone. It was natural on that golden evening that I should jump at the idea of a social paradise. The difficulty of increasing population had been met, I guessed, and population had ceased to increase.

'But with this change in condition comes inevitably adaptations to the change. What, unless biological science is a mass of errors, is the cause of human intelligence and vigour? Hardship and freedom: conditions under which the active, strong, and subtle survive and the weaker go to the wall; conditions that put a premium upon the loyal alliance of capable men, upon self-restraint, patience, and decision. And the institution of the family, and the emotions that arise therein, the fierce jealousy, the tenderness for offspring, parental self-devotion, all found their justification and support in the imminent dangers of the young. Now, where are these imminent dangers? There is a sentiment arising, and it will grow, against connubial jealousy, against fierce maternity, against passion of all sorts; unnecessary things now, and things that make us uncomfortable, savage survivals, discords in a refined and pleasant life.

The Time Traveller (for so it will be convenient to speak of him) was expounding a recondite matter to us. His grey eyes shone and twinkled, and his usually pale face was flushed and animated. The fire burned brightly, and the soft radiance of the incandescent lights in the lilies of silver caught the bubbles that flashed and passed in our glasses. Our chairs, being his patents, embraced and caressed us rather than submitted to be sat upon, and there was that luxurious after-dinner atmosphere when thought roams gracefully free of the trammels of precision. And he put it to us in this way—marking the points with a lean forefinger—as we sat and lazily admired his earnestness over this new paradox (as we thought it) and his fecundity.

'You must follow me carefully. I shall have to controvert one or two ideas that are almost universally accepted. The geometry, for instance, they taught you at school is founded on a misconception.'

'Is not that rather a large thing to expect us to begin upon?' said Filby, an argumentative person with red hair.

'I do not mean to ask you to accept anything without reasonable ground for it. You will soon admit as much as I need from you. You know of course that a mathematical line, a line of thickness nil, has no real existence. They taught you that? Neither has a mathematical plane. These things are mere abstractions.'

'That is all right,' said the Psychologist.

'Nor, having only length, breadth, and thickness, can a cube have a real existence.'

'There I object,' said Filby. 'Of course a solid body may exist. All real things—'

'So most people think. But wait a moment. Can an instantaneous cube exist?'

'Don't follow you,' said Filby.

'Can a cube that does not last for any time at all, have a real existence?'

Filby became pensive. 'Clearly,' the Time Traveller proceeded, 'any real body must have extension in four directions

This might be it. Steel River is listed on there too. I remember on one of the first days I was up there, a helicopter flew near me. I figured it was probably a camera crew out to get some B-roll footage of the High Steel Bridge that they could use after they found my corpse in the river.

I wonder where I really was when this speech was given. Was I floating around in a life raft off the coast of the Falklands with the other survivors of the Sheffield? The ending of this speech reminds me of something I wrote on a box of crayons or rather a box that held crayons and pencils and the sort when I was in first grade or a little later. The box had the Pledge of Allegiance printed on the inside of the lid, the box was similar to a cigar box, and at the end, after the question mark, I wrote “Yes.”

The dates don’t match up, because I think those dates are clues for other activities, but I think this general “memory” represents the Sheffield. I think it represents graduating with the Class of USNA 82 and then going straight to the Falklands as an observer from the U.S. Navy aboard the Sheffield. The part about the metallic sound represents getting hit by the missile.

I noted this earlier. I think this reflects that I was being sent to the Falklands after I graduated with from the U.S. Naval Academy with Class of 1982. I have started thinking that we graduated on April 30, 1982, which is the date of that Seattle Times news article declaring “U.S. backs Britain on Falklands.” That probably sealed the fate of the Sheffield right there. The article went on to say “Argentina stupefied” and they decided to make it personal for Reagan, although I’m not certain he was actually the one who made that decision, as it might have been someone at State to make that public declaration.

Thatcher papers show fascination with Reagan visit

By GREGORY KATZ

Associated Press Posted Dec 29, 2012

Few people keep Queen Elizabeth II waiting, especially when she has issued a personal invitation, but President Ronald Reagan managed to do so in 1982 without causing any lasting damage.

It happened in 1982, when the Reagan White House failed to reply in a timely way to a personal invitation from the queen for the president and his wife Nancy to stay with her at Windsor Castle during a planned visit to England.

Formerly Confidential papers made public Friday reveal there were raised eyebrows, and bruised feelings, when Reagan did not answer the sort of invite that usually commands a prompt reply the world over. The queen’s invitation was left to languish for weeks — something the British believe is simply Not Done.

“It is really for the president to respond to her invitation, which he has not done personally, something that I have pointed out several times here,” writes Nicholas Henderson, Britain’s ambassador to Washington, in a memo to the British Foreign Office. “As you know those surrounding the president are not deliberately rude: It is simply that they are not well-organized and do not have experience of this sort of thing.”

The misunderstanding was eventually cleared up — and Reagan even found the time to go horseback riding with the queen.

A former Reagan official today offers one possible explanation for the delay replying: Nancy Reagan’s need to consult an astrologer.

“You have to remember that Mrs. Reagan was very strict about his schedule, and she would consult her astrologer to see if this was the right time to travel,” William F. Sittman, a special assistant to Reagan who was involved in planning the trip, told The Associated Press. “Sometimes she would back up departures.”

XXXVIII President of the United States: 1974 - 1977

Executive Order 11828 - Establishing a Commission on CIA Activities Within the United States

January 4, 1975

The Central Intelligence Agency as created by the National Security Act of 1947 fulfills intelligence functions vital to the security of our nation, and many of its activities must necessarily be carried out in secrecy. Such activities are nevertheless subject to statutory limitations. I have determined that in order to insure scrupulous compliance with these statutory limitations, while fully recognizing the statutory missions of the Agency, it is advisable to establish a Commission on CIA Activities Within the United States.

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, and as President of the United States, I hereby order as follows:

SECTION 1. Establishment of the Commission. There is hereby established a Commission on CIA Activities Within the United States (hereinafter referred to as the "Commission"), to be composed of a Chairman and other members to be appointed by the President.

SEC. 2. Functions of the Commission. The Commission shall:

(a) Ascertain and evaluate any facts relating to activities conducted within the United States by the Central Intelligence Agency which give rise to questions of compliance with the provisions of 50 U.S.C. 403;

(b) Determine whether existing safeguards are adequate to prevent any activities which violate the provisions of 50 U.S.C. 403;

(c) Make such recommendations to the President and to the Director of Central Intelligence as the Commission deems appropriate.

SEC. 3. Cooperation by and with Executive Departments and Agencies. The Commission is authorized to request, at the direction of the Chairman, from any executive department or agency, any information and assistance deemed necessary to carry out its functions under this order. Each department or agency shall furnish such information and assistance to the Commission, to the extent permitted by law. The Commission shall furnish to the Attorney General any evidence found by the Commission which may relate to offenses under the statutes of the United States.

SEC. 4. Compensation, Personnel, and Finance. (a) Each member of the Commission may receive compensation for each day he or she is engaged upon the work of the Commission at not to exceed the daily rate now or hereafter prescribed by law for persons and positions in GS-18, as authorized by law and may also receive travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as authorized by law (5 U.S.C. 5703) for persons in the government service intermittently employed.

(b) The Commission shall have an Executive Director who shall be designated by the President and shall receive such compensation as may hereafter be specified. The Commission is authorized to appoint and fix the compensation of such other personnel as may be necessary to enable it to carry out its functions, and is authorized to obtain services in accordance with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 3109.

(c) All necessary expenses incurred in connection with the work of the Commission shall be paid from the appropriation for "Unanticipated Personnel Needs" P.L. 93-381, 88 Stat. 617, or from such other funds as may be available.

SEC. 5. Administrative Services. The General Services Administration shall provide administrative services for the Commission on a reimbursable basis.

SEC. 6. Report and Termination. The Commission shall present its final report to the President not later than three months from the date of this order. It shall terminate within one month after presenting its final report.

January 4, 1975.

Associated Press Posted Dec 29, 2012


FILE - In this June 8, 1982 file photo, U.S. President Ronald Reagan, on Centennial, and Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, on Burmese, go horseback riding on the grounds of Windsor Castle, England. It is not often that the president of the United States needs to seek fashion advice. But when Ronald Reagan was getting ready for a visit to England as a guest of Queen Elizabeth II in June 1982, his people had an important question for the Brits: Just what does one wear to go riding with the queen in the magnificent horse country surrounding Windsor Castle? The answer: Something smart, but casual, of course. Riding boots, breeches and a turtleneck sweater would do fine _ no need for formal riding attire. The fashion inquiry is but one tidbit contained in nearly 500 pages of formerly Confidential documents relating to the Reagan visit being made public Friday, Dec. 28, 2012 by Britains National Archives.

The New York Times


A VISIT TO WINDSOR CAPS MONTHS OF PREPARATION

By STEVEN RATTNER, Special to the New York Times

Published: June 8, 1982

Correction Appended

LONDON, June 7— During his brief visit to Britain, President Reagan will be spending most of his time - as well as his two nights - at Windsor Castle, a rambling stone fortress that was begun more than 900 years ago.

As they repose some 20 miles from the center of London, the Reagans may have difficulty discerning the stately calm that usually pervades the castle and the equally venerable town of Windsor that has existed since Saxon times. On few occasions since William the Conqueror established a fortress at Windsor as part of the perimeter of his defenses has the royal residence and bordering town seen so much activity.

For months, White House advance teams have been at work, checking security, planning ''photo opportunities'' and insuring that the accommodations will meet with the Reagans' approval. Such efforts have bemused British officials accustomed to a far more modest level of preparations, even for their sovereign.

570 in Reagan Entourage

The British leaders, who travel in small planes or in a motorcade of just a few cars, were astonished to learn that the Reagan entourage would include 4 large planes, 6 helicopters, 2 armored cars, 200 aides, 220 journalists and 150 Secret Service agents.

The size of the entourage was eventually accepted but several White House requests were turned down by Buckingham Palace officials. Efforts to include the President's food coordinators were rebuffed with the comment that if the castle kitchens were suitable for Queen Elizabeth, then they should be suitable for President Reagan, as one British official recounted the incident.

At another point, American planners suggested that the President and the Queen be accompanied on their horseback ride in the private, 740-acre Windsor Home Park by other senior American officials and that the Queen and the President set off toward the camera positions. Buckingham Palace rebuffed both requests. Castle Built About 1070

In staying with Queen Elizabeth at Windsor, Mr. Reagan will be visiting what is among the monarchy's most venerable sites and a residence with far more history than its in-town counterpart, Buckingham Palace. The largest inhabited castle in the world, Windsor Castle itself covers about 24 acres, on a hill overlooking the River Thames.

The original castle - a fortified earthwork surrounded by a moat - was probably built around 1070 but this structure was largely replaced and extended by later sovereigns. It was from Windsor Castle that Richard the LionHearted rode out to the Crusades and from Windsor that King John, his brother and successor, went to nearby Runnymede to sign Magna Carta in 1215.

Outside, the castle presents an almost seamless medieval facade; inside, the rooms are a mixture of styles and periods that reflect the frequent alterations. While some parts, such as the Grand Staircase, continue a Gothic motif, others such as the Waterloo Chamber, the imposing banquet hall, have been imbued with gilded opulence. An Infatuation With Horses

In the horseback riding as well as in the visit to Windsor, President Reagan will be participating in a royal tradition. Horses, and dogs, have always played a central role in the British royal family, much the way the animals are revered members of British society as a whole.

Within the family of the current sovereign, the infatuation with horses is particularly prominent. In addition to riding for fun and on ceremonial occasions, the Queen owns horses that are raced and are entered in cross-country competitions, often by her daughter, Princess Anne.

The Queen's husband, Prince Philip, played polo until about 10 years ago and now drives horses in competition. The son and heir, Prince Charles, has continued the polo tradition and is also an avid fox hunter. Only the Princess of Wales has an aversion to horses.

The Queen and her family use Windsor Castle for weekends and they normally stay for all of April, as well as for a week in June at the time of the Royal Meeting at Ascot Race Course.

Project Gutenberg's The Time Machine, by H. G. (Herbert George) Wells


Title: The Time Machine

Author: H. G. (Herbert George) Wells


I


The Psychologist looked at us. 'I wonder what he's got?'

'Some sleight-of-hand trick or other,' said the Medical Man, and Filby tried to tell us about a conjurer he had seen at Burslem; but before he had finished his preface the Time Traveller came back, and Filby's anecdote collapsed.

The thing the Time Traveller held in his hand was a glittering metallic framework, scarcely larger than a small clock, and very delicately made. There was ivory in it, and some transparent crystalline substance. And now I must be explicit, for this that follows—unless his explanation is to be accepted—is an absolutely unaccountable thing. He took one of the small octagonal tables that were scattered about the room, and set it in front of the fire, with two legs on the hearthrug. On this table he placed the mechanism. Then he drew up a chair, and sat down. The only other object on the table was a small shaded lamp, the bright light of which fell upon the model. There were also perhaps a dozen candles about, two in brass candlesticks upon the mantel and several in sconces, so that the room was brilliantly illuminated. I sat in a low arm-chair nearest the fire, and I drew this forward so as to be almost between the Time Traveller and the fireplace. Filby sat behind him, looking over his shoulder. The Medical Man and the Provincial Mayor watched him in profile from the right, the Psychologist from the left. The Very Young Man stood behind the Psychologist. We were all on the alert. It appears incredible to me that any kind of trick, however subtly conceived and however adroitly done, could have been played upon us under these conditions.

The Time Traveller looked at us, and then at the mechanism. 'Well?' said the Psychologist.

'This little affair,' said the Time Traveller, resting his elbows upon the table and pressing his hands together above the apparatus, 'is only a model. It is my plan for a machine to travel through time. You will notice that it looks singularly askew, and that there is an odd twinkling appearance about this bar, as though it was in some way unreal.' He pointed to the part with his finger. 'Also, here is one little white lever, and here is another.'

The Medical Man got up out of his chair and peered into the thing. 'It's beautifully made,' he said.

'It took two years to make,' retorted the Time Traveller. Then, when we had all imitated the action of the Medical Man, he said: 'Now I want you clearly to understand that this lever, being pressed over, sends the machine gliding into the future, and this other reverses the motion. This saddle represents the seat of a time traveller. Presently I am going to press the lever, and off the machine will go. It will vanish, pass into future Time, and disappear. Have a good look at the thing. Look at the table too, and satisfy yourselves there is no trickery. I don't want to waste this model, and then be told I'm a quack.'

The Queen. Mr. President, I'm so glad to welcome you and Mrs. Reagan to Britain.


In darker days, Winston Churchill surveyed the way in which the affairs of the British Empire, as it then was, and the United States would become, in his words, "somewhat mixed up." He welcomed the prospect. "I could not stop it if I wished," he said. "No one can stop it. Like the Mississippi, it just keeps rolling along. Let it roll." How right he was. There can be few nations whose destinies have been so inextricably interwoven as yours and mine.

Q: Really, Vash, I can't believe you're still pining for Jean-Luc, that self righteous do-gooder.

VASH: I should have listened to him. He warned me about you.

Q: You're hurt, you strike back. I understand. But be of good cheer, I bring wonderful news. I'm back. I can see now it was cruel of me to leave you.

VASH: Very touching. But you didn't leave me, I left you.

Q: You left me, I left you Details, mere details. The important thing is we're back together again. A team, joined together at the hip.

VASH: Not a chance.

Q: You know you're going to miss me.

VASH: Don't flatter yourself.

(Q gets all her stuff back into her bag so she has to unpack again)

Q: You know, I thought first we'd visit the Teleris Cluster, look in on the star dancers at Mundahla. Or maybe head over to the Lantar nebula and view the Sampalo relic on Hoek Four.

VASH: Not interested.

Windsor Castle Suffers Extensive Fire Damage

November 21, 1992 By Ray Moseley, Chicago Tribune.


Windsor is the queen`s favorite castle and her usual weekend retreat from London. The largest inhabited castle in the world, it was built on the site of a fortress erected around 1070 by William the Conqueror, overlooking the Thames River.

It has played a central role in British history. King John went from Windsor to nearby Runnymede in 1215 to set his seal on the Magna Carta, the charter of liberties that English barons forced John to accept.

He could speak all along.

He chose not to.

Why?

Then he couldn't learn to read.

By age 9, the school started saying he was disabled, mentally.

Then one day, his mom came home from an operation at 4:00 A.M.

And saw a light coming from his room.

She walked in to find him reading Anna Karenina.

I don't know what makes someone like that tick.

But I do know his response to anything we try on him will be completely unpredictable.
