"Asteroids do not concern me, Admiral!"




JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Posted by H.V.O.M at 4:18 AM Thursday, September 29, 2011 - http://hvom.blogspot.com/2011/09/star-constellations.html


There was some other stuff that happened in the dream but I decided to end this note with his response to me about how he had heard I had picked up more stars. I distinctly remember his words to me at that point. He asked me "Is it worth it?"

At that point, I took off two stars from the jacket epaulet on my shoulder, which seemed to be the type used for award stars on United States military medals and ribbons, and I was aware that left me with three stars on my shoulder.

So as I was wondering after getting out of the shower is that I could have just had a normal dream. But I could have just dreamed that final star symbol I need.

SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
TROPICAL DEPRESSION 2 CONTINUES TO SLOWLY ORGANIZE OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN
ATLANTIC THIS EVENING. AT 8 PM...THE DEPRESSION WAS LOCATED ABOUT
390 MILES SOUTHEAST OF CHARLESTON...OR 420 MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF
SAVANNAH. THE DEPRESSION IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY MOVE NORTHWEST
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...MAKING LANDFALL ALONG THE LOWER SOUTH
CAROLINA COAST SUNDAY MORNING AS A TROPICAL STORM.

WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL STEADILY DETERIORATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
ESPECIALLY SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE DEPRESSION APPROACHES THE COAST. RAIN
COULD BECOME LOCALLY HEAVY AT TIMES WITH AS MUCH AS 1 TO 2 INCHES
POTENTIALLY FALLING ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA WITH AN INCH OR
LESS FALLING ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE
POSSIBLE. THERE WILL BE A RISK FOR MINOR FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN LOW
LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS...BUT SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING IS NOT
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. THE RISK FOR FLOODING WILL BE HIGHEST IN URBAN
AREAS AS WELL AS COASTAL AREAS DURING TIMES OF HIGH TIDE. HOWEVER...
THE AMOUNT OF RAIN THE AREA RECEIVES WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT
TRACK THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION TAKES.

THE RISK FOR TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS WILL BE HIGHEST SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY AS THE DEPRESSION APPROACHES THE LOWER SOUTH CAROLINA
COAST. THE AREA THAT IS MOST LIKELY TO SEE TROPICAL STORM FORCE
WINDS...POTENTIALLY AS HIGH AS 30 TO 40 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS...WILL
BE ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA...INCLUDING THE
CHARLESTON METRO AREA. WINDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE ARE CAPABLE OF DOWNING
A FEW TREES AND POWERLINES. SOME POWER OUTAGES ARE POSSIBLE.

THERE WILL BE INCREASED RISK FOR STRONGER AND MORE FREQUENT RIP
CURRENTS AS WELL AS BEACH EROSION ALONG THE BEACHES THROUGH THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* WIND:
PROTECT AGAINST HAZARDOUS WIND HAVING POSSIBLE LIMITED IMPACTS ACROSS
SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA. POTENTIAL IMPACTS IN THIS AREA INCLUDE:
- DAMAGE TO PORCHES, AWNINGS, CARPORTS, SHEDS, AND UNANCHORED
MOBILE HOMES. UNSECURED LIGHTWEIGHT OBJECTS BLOWN ABOUT.
- MANY LARGE TREE LIMBS BROKEN OFF. A FEW TREES SNAPPED OR
UPROOTED, BUT WITH GREATER NUMBERS IN PLACES WHERE TREES ARE
SHALLOW ROOTED. SOME FENCES AND ROADWAY SIGNS BLOWN OVER.
- SOME ROADS IMPASSABLE DUE TO DEBRIS, PARTICULARLY WITHIN URBAN
OR HEAVILY WOODED LOCATIONS. HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS ON
BRIDGES AND OTHER ELEVATED ROADWAYS, ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH
PROFILE VEHICLES.
- ISOLATED TO SCATTERED POWER AND COMMUNICATIONS OUTAGES.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA,
LITTLE TO NO IMPACT IS ANTICIPATED.

* FLOODING RAIN:
PROTECT AGAINST LOCALLY HAZARDOUS RAINFALL FLOODING HAVING POSSIBLE
LIMITED IMPACTS ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA. POTENTIAL IMPACTS INCLUDE:
- LOCALIZED RAINFALL FLOODING COULD PROMPT A FEW EVACUATIONS.
- RIVERS AND TRIBUTARIES COULD QUICKLY RISE WITH SWIFTER
CURRENTS. SMALL STREAMS, CREEKS, CANALS, AND DITCHES COULD
BECOME SWOLLEN AND OVERFLOW IN SPOTS.
- FLOOD WATERS CAN ENTER A FEW STRUCTURES, ESPECIALLY IN NORMALLY
VULNERABLE SPOTS. RAPID PONDING OF WATER COULD OCCUR AT
UNDERPASSES, LOW-LYING SPOTS, AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. SEVERAL
STORM DRAINS AND RETENTION PONDS BECOME NEAR-FULL AND BEGIN TO
OVERFLOW. SOME BRIEF ROAD AND BRIDGE CLOSURES.

* OTHER COASTAL HAZARDS:
RIP CURRENTS...THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED FOR STRONGER AND MORE FREQUENT
RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. SOME BEACH
EROSION IS LIKELY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
NOW IS THE TIME TO BRING TO COMPLETION ALL PREPARATIONS TO PROTECT
LIFE AND PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR EMERGENCY PLAN.

OUTSIDE PREPARATIONS SHOULD BE WRAPPED UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE

The American Presidency Project

Ronald Reagan

XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989

Statement on Signing the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986

October 1, 1986

I have today signed H.R. 3622, the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986. This legislation is the product of a 4-year effort led by the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. It is a milestone in the long evolution of defense organization since our national security establishment was created in 1947. Our thanks go to Senators Barry Goldwater and Sam Nunn, Representatives Bill Nichols, Ike Skelton, John Kasich, and Larry Hopkins, Secretary Weinberger, David Packard, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many others for their patience and perseverance in this effort.

After long and intense debate, we have set a responsible course of action by taking another important step forward, building on improvements underway since 1981, and affirming the basic wisdom of those who came before us—the Forrestals, Bradleys, Radfords, and Eisenhowers—advancing their legacy in the light of our own experience.

Note: H.R. 3622, approved October 1, was assigned Public Law No. 99-433.
