Subject: RE: Desiree from The Homestead!

Hi Desiree,

The drive back here to Renton was just as interesting as the drive out there yesterday. After driving a car for the first time in over 8 years I find that I don’t really miss it that much. Especially the gas prices!

That other apartment does interest me.

Is that another one that is presently occupied?

Same time for move-in?

I know that I’ll sleep much better on the top floor. I have a sunken floor now here in Renton and I get up many times during the night looking around corners.

Die Hard (1988)

Quotes

Hans Gruber: Touching, Cowboy, touching. Or should I call you, Mr. McClane? Mr. Officer John McClane of the New York Police Department?

Richard Thornburg: Get on the phone to Harry in New York. Come on, baby, move, move.

Thornburg's Assistant: Got it.

Sergeant Al Powell: Better get a hold of somebody in dispatch.

John McClane: Sister Teresa called me Mr. McClane in the third grade. My friends call me John, and you're neither, shit-head.

Hans Gruber: I have someone who wants to talk to you; a very special friend who was with you at the party tonight.

Harry Ellis: [Hans hands him the walkie talkie] Hey, John boy.

John McClane: Ellis?

Harry Ellis: Yeah. Now listen, John, they're giving me a few minutes to try to talk some sense into you. I know you think you're doing your job, John, and I can appreciate that, but, you're just dragging this thing out. Now look, no one gets outta here until these guys can talk to the *LA* police, and that just ain't gonna happen until you stop messin' up the works, capisci?

John McClane: Ellis, what have you told them?

Harry Ellis: I told 'em we were old friends and you were my guest at the party.

John McClane: Ellis, you shouldn't be doin' this.

Harry Ellis: Tell me about it. Alright, John, listen. They want you to tell them where the detonators are. They know people are listening.

Defense Department Observes National POW/MIA Recognition Day

SEPT. 16, 2021 BY DAVID VERGUN, DOD NEWS

National POW/MIA Recognition Day — which this year falls on Sept. 17 — was established in 1979 through a proclamation signed by President Jimmy Carter.

The proclamation reads, in part: "In each of America's wars, our prisoners of war have been called upon to make uncommon sacrifices. Upon them has fallen the arduous responsibility of defending American ideals under the absolute control of the enemy.

Not really.

What?

I'm happy. Let me rephrase that. I was happy until a little girl came and told me I wasn't.

[I'm not sure if this is the same article, but one day I was talking to someone that sat across the aisle from me at Microsoft on this topic. I think it was the day after the company meeting when John Connors was playing cowboy and talking about "his brand" and stuff and was saying that an Enron could never happen at Microsoft. The next day I read something about this unearned revenue stuff that left me wondering if that was true or not. From what I understood, this unearned revenue was basically a cookie jar that could be used to balance out the revenue which in turn stabilized the stock price. Sounds like a great plan, but then what is the point of accounting and reports and all that financial stuff? I probably wouldn't have even been thinking about this stuff if not for being a stock holder and wanting to know that my underwater stock options would be worth something before they expired. My fate was probably sealed when I sent that email to Connors asking if he thought accuracy was important. I replied to an email he had sent to my group or division, I don't remember exactly who it had gone to. But I replied because I saw something familar in it

The Untold Story of the Persian Gulf War

By Rick Atkinson

Houghton Mifflin Company, 520pp. $16

Chapter One: First Night

U.S.S. Wisconsin, Persian Gulf

On Wisconsin, where the scheduled launch time was now just moments away, the men in Strike were running out of solutions. "All right," Lieutenant Zanti announced, "we'll start from the beginning." The data for the eight Wisconsin shots -- three pages of detailed coding for each missile -- would be retyped into the computer. The task was tedious and time-consuming. He turned to Captain Bill and the ship's weapons officer.

"Sir, we need to ask for more time," Zanti told Bill. "If we don't get an extension, we can't shoot."

The captain agreed. As the request flashed up the chain of command to Blue Ridge, an excited voice from one of Gulf Papa's nearby shooters crackled through Strike over the radio intercom: "Alpha, alpha. This is the Paul F. Foster. Happy trails."

Happy trails: the code phrase for missile away.
