My name was never "Kerry Nevels". This was apparently at a time when Thedia was married to James Nevels. She was married to him in De Queen Arkansas after she and Wayne Burgess divorced.
I had forgotten about this paper until in recent days when Melissa sent me a photo of it. I remembered it after seeing it.
I vaguely recall this was for a class assignment. I remember that Thedia was married to James Nevels when I started first grade and that was the year 1972 so this drawing would have been made by me around that timeframe. I've written about how he re-joined the US Marine Corps and moved us to California for a few months until Thedia left and moved us back to De Queen.

Homer the Clown [ The Simpsons ]
Original airdate in N.A.: 12-Feb-95
It's the Krusty the Klown Show. Krusty rides out on a bicycle, in front of the camera and off to the side. He rides back on a smaller bike, then a smaller one still, then a smaller one still, until he's riding a bicycle no more than six inches tall. He does a loop-the-loop around a metal track without falling off, then poses triumphantly on one knee, tossing the bicycle into the air and swallowing it. The children cheer happily.
Lisa: When Krusty wants to, he can still blow 'em away.
Bart: Yes. He can take a simple, everyday thing like eating a bicycle and make it funny.
"See you tomorrow, kids!" Krusty laughs, "but before I go, I'd just like to say --" He opens his mouth and a bicycle bell rings. The children cheer; Krusty waves as the curtain falls. Once it falls, his grin turns somber. He pulls out a pack of cigarettes.
Krusty: Ah, there's nothing better than a cigarette...unless it's a cigarette lit with a $100 bill! [tosses a burning $100 bill away] [hands bundles of cash to his aides] Put five thousand bucks on the Lakers. Hire Kenny G to play for me in the elevator. My house is dirty; buy me a clean one. [walks into his office, closes the door]
Bill: Krusty, as your accountant, I must warn you your spending --
Krusty: Did you send those thousand roses to Bea Arthur's grave?
Bill: [exasperated] Yes, but she's still --
Krusty: I don't want to hear the end of any sentences!
Woman: [over intercom] George Carlin on three.
Krusty: [answers it] Yeah?...Lawsuit? Oh, come on. My "Seven Words You Can't Say on TV" bit was _entirely_ different from _your_ "Seven Words You Can't Say on TV" bit. ...So I'm a thief, am I? Well, excuuuse me! [to his accountant] Give him ten grand.
Woman: Steve Martin on four.
Krusty: Ten grand.
Just then, Fat Tony walks into Krusty's office, two of his henchmen in tow.
Tony: Krusty, with regards to the large wager you made on yesterday's horse race --
Krusty: Aw, come on, let -- how about letting me go double or nothing on the big opera tonight?
Tony: Who do you like?
Krusty: The tenor!
Tony: [thinks] OK. But we're only letting the bet ride because you crack us so consistently up.
Fat Tony and his men leave.
Bill: You've got to stop blowing your money like this, Krusty.
Krusty: No can do.
[lights a cigarette with an original Superman comic]
Bill: And those ridiculous bets you make...gambling is the finest thing a person can do _if_ he's good at it, but you haven't won anything in months.
Krusty: So? I'll just make some more money. Crank out some cheesy merchandise.
Bill: But you've already merchandised everything: Krusty's Monopoly Game, the Krusty Krowd Kontrol Barrier..._nothing_ is selling any more, not even your new Lady Krusty line.
Krusty: But our infomercials are running 24 hours a day!

Broken Bow [ Star Trek: Enterprise - Episode 1 Season 1 ]
LEONARD: How did they get here? What kind of ship?
TOS: They were using some kind of stealth technology. We're still analyzing our sensor logs.
WILLIAMS: I'd like to see those logs.
SOVAL: The Klingons made it very clear they want us to expedite this.
LEONARD: It happened on our soil.
TOS: That's irrelevant.
FORREST: Ambassador, with all due respect, we have a right to know what's going on here.
SOVAL: You will be apprised of all pertinent information.
WILLIAMS: And just who gets to decide what's pertinent information?
ARCHER: Admiral.
FORREST: Jon. I think you know everyone.
ARCHER: Not everyone.
LEONARD: It's a Klingot.
TOS: A Klingon.
ARCHER: Where'd he come from? (they're viewing through window)
WILLIAMS: Oklahoma.
FORREST: A corn farmer named Moore shot him with a plasma rifle. Says it was self-defense.
TOS: Fortunately, Soval and I have maintained close contact with Kronos since the incident occurred.
ARCHER: Kronos?
LEONARD: It's the Klingon's homeworld.
FORREST: This gentleman is some sort of a courier. Evidently he was carrying crucial information back to his people.
SOVAL: When he was nearly killed by your "farmer."
FORREST: Ambassador Soval thinks it would be best if we push off your launch until we've cleared this up.
ARCHER: Well, isn't that a surprise. You'd think they'd have come up with something a little more imaginative this time.
SOVAL: Sarcasm aside, Captain, the last thing your people need is to make an enemy of the Klingon Empire.
TOS: If we hadn't convinced them to let us take Klaang's corpse back to Kronos, Earth would most likely be facing a squadron of Warbirds by the end of the week.
ARCHER: Corpse? Is he dead?
[Intensive Care Unit]
ARCHER: Excuse me, is that man dead?
PHLOX: His autonomic system was disrupted by the blast but his redundant neural functions are
ARCHER: Is he going to die?
PHLOX: Not necessarily.
[Starfleet Medical - observation room]
ARCHER: Let me get this straight. You're going to disconnect this man from life support even though he could live. Now where's the logic in that?
SOVAL: Klaang's culture finds honour in death. If they saw him like this he'd be disgraced.
TOS: They're a warrior race. They dream of dying in battle. If you understood the complexities of interstellar diplomacy
ARCHER: So that's your diplomatic solution, to do what they tell you. Pull the plug?
TOS: Your metaphor is crude, but accurate.
ARCHER: We may be crude, but we're not murderers. You're not going to let them do this, are you?
SOVAL: The Klingons have demanded that we return Klaang immediately.
ARCHER: Admiral.
FORREST: We may need to defer to their judgement.
ARCHER: We've been deferring to their judgement for a hundred years!
FORREST: Jon.
ARCHER: How much longer?
T'POL: Until you've proven you're ready,
ARCHER: Ready to what?
T'POL: To look beyond your provincial attitudes and volatile nature.
ARCHER: Volatile? You have no idea how much I'm restraining myself from knocking you on your ass.

20 – The Dance of the Vampires
"Captain says put the wind on the starboard beam!" Toland said.
"It is on the fucking beam!" the executive officer snapped back. The bridge deck was covered with broken glass. "How's the skipper?"
"Alive. He's aft with the fire."
"And who the hell are you?" the XO demanded.
"Toland, group intel. I was in CIC."
"Then you're one lucky bastard. That second bird hit fifty yards from you. Captain got out? Anyone else?"
"I don't know. Burning like hell."
"Looks like you caught part of it, Commander."
Bob's face felt as if he'd shaved with a piece of glass. His eyebrows crumpled to his touch. "Flashburns, I guess. I'll be okay. What do you want me to do?"
The XO pointed to Toland's water wings. "Can you conn the ship.? Okay, do it. Nothing left to run into anyway. I'm going aft to take charge of the fire. Communications are out, radar's out, but the engines are okay and the hull's in good shape. Mr. Bice has the deck. Mr. Toland has the conn," XO announced as he left.
Toland hadn't conned anything bigger than a Boston Whaler in over ten years, and now he had a damaged carrier. He took a pair of binoculars and looked around to see what ships were nearby. What he saw chilled him.
Saratoga was the only ship that looked intact, but on second glance her radar mast was askew. Foch was lower in the water than she ought to have been, and ablaze from bow to stem.
"Where's Saipan?"
"Blew up like a fucking firework," Commander Bice replied. "Holy Jesus, there were twenty-five hundred men aboard! Tico took one close aboard. Foch took three hits, looks like she's gone. Two frigates and a destroyer gone, too-just fucking gone, man! Who fucked up? You were in CIC, right? Who fucked up?"
The eight French Crusaders were just making contact with the Backfires. The Russian bombers were on afterburner and were nearly as fast as the fighters. The carrier pilots had all heard their ship go off the air and were consumed with rage at what had happened, no longer the cool professionals who drove fighters off ships. Only ten Backfires were within their reach. They got six of them with their missiles and damaged two more before they had to break off.
USS Caron, the senior undamaged ship, tracked the Russians on her radar, calling Britain for fighters to intercept them on the trip home. But the Russians had anticipated this, and detoured far west of the British Isles, meeting their tankers four hundred miles west of Norway.
Already the Russians were evaluating the results of their mission. The first major battle of modem carriers and missile-armed bombers had been won and lost. Both sides knew which was which.
The fire on Nimitz was out within an hour. With no aircraft aboard, there were few combustibles about, and the ship's firefighting abilities equaled that of a large city. Toland brought her back to an easterly course. Saratoga was recovering aircraft, refueling them, and sending all but the fighters to the beach. Three frigates and a destroyer lingered to recover survivors, as the large ships turned back toward Europe.
"All ahead full," Svenson ordered from his seat on the bridge. "Toland, you all right?"
"No complaints." No point in it, the ship's hospital was more than full with hundreds of major injury cases. There was no count of the dead yet, and Toland didn't want to think about that.

Doug Clark: Windstorm transformed Spokane into post-apocalyptic maze
By Doug Clark
We were in a video game without knowing the rules.
That’s what driving around Spokane’s wind-torn South Hill felt like Tuesday night when my son-in-law, Shane Berry, and I ventured out to check on our properties.
The streets were the same ones I rode my bike over as a kid.
But the landscape had now become unfamiliar and mean, with every other turn representing a potential threat: massive downed pines blocking the asphalt, sidewalks buckled from overturned trees and power poles bowled over or tilted at crazy angles.
Go one way. Stop. Turn around. Go another way. Stop. Back up …
Add the dark. Everything always looks more sinister and surreal in the shadowy dark.
Entire streets black as ink. Stoplights out. The same with many streetlights and some 200,000 homes now reported without power.
My hometown had become post-apocalyptic, like a plot line to a “Z-Nation” episode.
“You’re going to be telling this story for a long, long time,” I told Shane as he navigated carefully around scattered limbs and debris.
My daughter, Emily; Shane, and baby Ronan migrated to the Clark house earlier in the day, about an hour or so after the winds came and their power went out.
I’m almost ashamed to admit that my lovely wife, Sherry, and I still have electricity.
Unlike Ice Storm ’96, when we went dark for eight days, this deadly weather event left us on the guilty side of the boulevard, facing the dark windows of our neighbors.
You can go nuts trying to figure this stuff out, like why some trees topple while others remain standing.
After several forced retreats due to broken pines, Shane and I found our way to my late mom’s house, where nothing looked amiss.
To my amazement, the incredibly tall pines in the backyard and side of the home somehow hung tough. Bizarre. After what I had seen, my mind pictured those things sticking into the roof.
We turned on 14th Avenue only to be stopped by yellow caution tape probably indicating downed power lines.
We backed up and headed east on another street, passing some people who were milling around with flashlights and examining a massive tree that really had speared a roof.
“This is unbelievable,” Shane said.
We drove south, slowing at each intersection where the traffic lights had failed, then we aimed west on 29th, past one Stygian business after another.
According to the Avista map, my kids live in the middle of a South Hill red zone, meaning no power to a whole lot of residents.
Soon, we could see why. At Ivory Street and 28th Avenue, a huge tree lay across the street, barring further progress.
Back to 29th. At Arthur and 28th we stopped again and stared gap-jawed at downed power poles that had somehow cracked and were now suspended in a jumble of twisted wires.
Shane parked his car. We walked and discovered good and bad news at the Berry household. The bad news was that the wind had snapped off the top half of a 70-foot pine tree in their front yard like a broken toothpick.
The good news is that the falling timber had landed safely in the street and not on any rooftops. Must’ve made a helluva noise.
Back in the car I told Shane not to head home just yet. We had one more emergency stop to make.
“I heard Target is open,” I said. “We’re running short on toilet paper.”

HISTORY
DECEMBER 24, 1979 : SOVIET TANKS ROLL INTO AFGHANISTAN
On December 24, 1979, the Soviet Union invades Afghanistan, under the pretext of upholding the Soviet-Afghan Friendship Treaty of 1978.
As midnight approached, the Soviets organized a massive military airlift into Kabul, involving an estimated 280 transport aircraft and three divisions of almost 8,500 men each. Within a few days, the Soviets had secured Kabul, deploying a special assault unit against Tajberg Palace. Elements of the Afghan army loyal to Hafizullah Amin put up a fierce, but brief resistance.
On December 27, Babrak Karmal, exiled leader of the Parcham faction of the Marxist People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA), was installed as Afghanistan’s new head of government. And Soviet ground forces entered Afghanistan from the north.
The Soviets, however, were met with fierce resistance when they ventured out of their strongholds into the countryside. Resistance fighters, called mujahidin, saw the Christian or atheist Soviets controlling Afghanistan as a defilement of Islam as well as of their traditional culture. Proclaiming a “jihad”(holy war), they gained the support of the Islamic world.
The mujahidin employed guerrilla tactics against the Soviets. They would attack or raid quickly, then disappear into the mountains, causing great destruction without pitched battles. The fighters used whatever weapons they could grab from the Soviets or were given by the United States.
The tide of the war turned with the 1987 introduction of U.S. shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles. The Stingers allowed the mujahidin to shoot down Soviet planes and helicopters on a regular basis.
New Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev decided it was time to get out. Demoralized and with no victory in sight, Soviet forces started withdrawing in 1988. The last Soviet soldier crossed back across the border on February 15, 1989.
It was the first Soviet military expedition beyond the Eastern bloc since World War II and marked the end of a period of improving relations (known as détente) in the Cold War. Subsequently, the SALT II arms treaty was shelved and the U.S. began to re-arm.
Fifteen thousand Soviet soldiers were killed.
The long-term impact of the invasion and subsequent war was profound. First, the Soviets never recovered from the public relations and financial losses, which significantly contributed to the fall of the Soviet empire in 1991. Secondly, the war created a breeding ground for terrorism and the rise of Osama bin Laden.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Miniseries [ Monday 08 December 2003 USA ]
(Ragnar Anchorage - Adama and Leoben are in some sort of room with lots of pipes and steam. Leoben is extremely pale and sweaty now.)
Leoben: What is it about this place? What's it doing to me?
Adama: Must be your allergies.
Leoben: I don't have allergies.
Adama: I didn't think so. What you got are silica pathways to the brain, or whatever it is you call that thing you pretend to think with. It's decomposing as we speak.
Leoben: It's the storm, isn't it? It puts out something. Something you discovered has an effect on Cylon technology. That's it, isn't it? And this is a refuge, that's why you put a fleet out here. Last ditch effort to hide from the Cylon attack. Right, well, that's not enough Adama. I've been here for hours. Once they find you, it won't take them that long to destroy you. They'll be in and out before they even get a headache.
Adama: Maybe. (He grabs Leoben, pushes him up against the wall.) But you, you won't find out, because you'll be dead in a few minutes. How does that make you feel? If you can feel.
Leoben: Oh, I can feel more than you could ever conceive of, Adama. But I won't die. When this body dies, my consciousness will be transferred to another one. And when that happens, (he collapses to the ground with a groan) I think I'll tell the others exactly where you are, and I think that they'll come, and they'll kill all of you. And I'll be here watching it happen.
