Going through all those people I suspect will inform me of a common thread
Today, was intrigued by a website that reports the birthday of Jeremy LaGoo is in November 1986
Still don't know the precise date. Don't even know if November 1986 is accurate
Many of those people I have discovered the precise date they publish for their birthdate and it's been informative. Story you would have never known unless for my work here
I make this note only to illustrate a point I made recently.
For many years, I did hard searches of my original-work to find meaning, just blasting away at anything to see what it would find
This is an example of how I was working all those years
Now my work is more refined. I take the first thought in my mind and go from there.
If nothing about it speaks to me specifically then there are several dates that I check
My first thought here was about 11/04/1986
No immediate recognizable details
A result of July 1985 made me think to check for dates nearby that I recognize
The point of this search was to see if I could use 03/17/2026 to narrow down a specific calendar day in November 1986.
No idea if that was THEIR objective with causing that event on 03/17/2026
Few minutes earlier - before I had even started thinking about the topic of this note - I was reading about the moose. The comments about the moose. Four days ago from today

Rotary breaks ground on park fountain
By Hilary Kraus
The seed was planted nearly 30 years ago, but it wasn’t until Friday that city and Rotary Club officials broke ground on the Rotary Fountain in Riverfront Park.
Beneath an intermittent drizzle, the group gathered on a three-quarter-acre site that will be transformed into a $1.25 million interactive water fountain and plaza. It is scheduled to open in late May 2005, in time for the Northwest district Rotary conference.
Project designer Bob Perron was among those who watched as the first holes were dug into the cold, wet ground by Mayor Jim West, Dan Cadagan, Rotary Foundation project committee chairman, and other dignitaries. Perron, designer of Riverfront Park, had the vision of an elaborate entrance fountain in 1975.”There was not enough money in the budget then,” Perron said.
Perron, a resident of Portland and architect of that city’s Salmon Street Spring, said the idea resurfaced about 2½ years ago. The Rotary Club wanted to make a major contribution to the city.
The fountain and plaza are being funded by a public-private partnership between the Spokane Park Board and the Downtown Spokane Rotary Club 21. The fundraising has reached 96 percent of the needed amount, thanks to 415 donors, including 31 who each gave more than $5,000.
“This is by far the most significant project we have ever taken on,” Nancy Kennedy, Club 21 president said during the formal ceremony.
The fountain and plaza will bring a radically different look to the entrance of the park. It will cover an area from the Spokane River to Spokane Falls Boulevard on the south border and from the carousel to the “Christmas tree” on the west edge.
Harold Balazs, commissioned as the sculptor, has designed a work that will tell the story of the Spokane Falls and its relationship to native people.
“We were interested in a fountain that reflected in the history of the community,” said Perron, who has worked with Balazs on other architectural projects.
But unlike Perron’s original idea – sculptured children holding hands in water – the flat-deck Rotary Fountain will be run by computer and will be constantly changing. It will have about 140 water jets, sprays, misters, ground hugging fog and other features. It will stand on five stainless columns that are 24 feet high.
The fountain will be open for anyone who wants to play in the water, and will operate from 6 a.m. until midnight from mid-spring to mid-fall, temperature permitting. The fountain may be operated in winter with the mist creating ice formations.
Annual maintenance is estimated between $20,000 and $25,000, Cadagan said. Power alone would cost about $12,000 a year.
Perron said most of the construction is underground piping, which can be done in winter.
“This is going to be one of those things that brings ‘Wow!’ to the city,” West said.

Among the clear memories I still have in my conscious mind of the summer of 2004 - those 878 days - there is one I think of sometimes still.
As best I recall, today was the first time I have been over there since that time during the summer of 2004. Perhaps in the year 2013 I went by there one time but I don't now recall. Otherwise, this recent day was the first time since the summer of 2004.
I used to purchase a lot of books from Barnes and Noble and other bookstores and that day I drove over there in my Jeep Wrangler (today spiking my heart-rate monitor up to at least 170 bpm climbing up that big freaking hill in my lousy physical condition from over a decade sitting at this stupid desk) and stopped there for lunch and I had just purchased a copy of his book and I was sitting there having lunch and reading his book.
Then I went back to the Crossland, sitting there months in that tiny room.
That book title was instantly recognizable to me. That was key phrase in the performance review documents for me and the letter of commendation the commanding officer of USS Wainwright CG 28 gave me after our deployment to the Middle East Force in 1988.

DISTINGUISHED MEMBER OF THE SPECIAL FORCES REGIMENT
COLONEL CHARLES A. BECKWITH
Inducted 9 August 2012
Col. Charles A. Beckwith, known as “Chargin’ Charlie,” was born Jan. 22, 1929 in Atlanta, Ga. He played football for the University of Georgia and was drafted by the Green Bay Packers; however, he turned down their offer to serve in the U.S. Army, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1952.
In 1958, Beckwith volunteered for Special Forces and was assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) at Fort Bragg, N.C. In 1960, then-Capt. Beckwith deployed to Laos for two years on Operation Hotfoot, with the White Star organization. The covert White Star teams operated against the Pathet Lao and harassed the North Vietnamese on the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
In 1962, Beckwith was sent from 7th SFG(A) as the exchange officer to the British 22nd Special Air Service, where he commanded 3 Troop, A Squadron. It was during this tour, which included the conduct of counterinsurgency operations in Malaya with the British SAS, that Beckwith conceived, forged and developed his concept for an SAS-type unit in the United States.
Returning to 7th SFG(A) in 1963, Capt. Beckwith was selected to serve as a battalion and then the group operations officer. In 1965, Beckwith volunteered to return to Vietnam, where he was hand-picked to command the high-priority Special Forces unit code-named Project Delta (Operational Detachment B-52). He used his experience with the 22 SAS to test and select the right men to conduct long-range reconnaissance in South Vietnam. Following his promotion to major, Beckwith led B-52 in the rescue of the besieged Special Forces camp at Plei Me, under the most arduous combat conditions.
He was critically wounded in early 1966 (shot through his abdomen with a .50 caliber bullet). His wounds were so bad that medical personnel initially triaged him as beyond help. Recovering completely, he took over the Florida Phase of the U.S. Army’s Ranger School, transforming it from a scripted exercise based upon the Army’s World War II experience into a Vietnam-oriented training regimen.
In 1968, following the Tet Offensive, then-Lt. Col. Beckwith returned to Vietnam, taking command of the 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry (Airborne), 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division. For the nine months that he commanded 2-327 (“No Slack”), they saw many successes in combat operations, including: Hu, Operation Mingo, Operation Jeb Stuart, Operation Nevada Eagle and Somerset Plain (sweeping the southern portion of the A Shau Valley).
From 1973 to 1974, Lt. Col. Beckwith served as commander, Control Team “B” with the Joint Casualty Resolution Center located in Thailand. JCRC’s sole mission was to assist the Secretaries of the Armed Services to resolve the fate of servicemen still missing and unaccounted for as a result of the hostilities throughout Indochina. He was promoted to colonel, and in 1975 returned to Fort Bragg as the Commandant of the U.S. Army Special Warfare School.
As the threat of international terrorism increased, Beckwith was chosen to form the SAS- type unit he had promoted for several years. 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta was founded in November 1977 as a counterterrorist unit whose main missions were hostage rescue and specialized reconnaissance.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
(from internet transcript)
KIRK: Spock?
SPOCK: As suspected, the Probe's transmissions are the songs sung by whales.
KIRK: Whales?
SPOCK: Specifically, humpback whales.
McCOY: That's crazy! Who would send a Probe hundreds of light years to talk to a whale?
KIRK: It's possible. Whales have been on Earth far earlier than man.
SPOCK: Ten million years earlier. And humpbacks were heavily hunted by man. They've been extinct since the twenty-first century. It is possible that an alien intelligence sent the Probe to determine why they lost contact.
McCOY: My God!
KIRK: Spock, could the humpback's answer to this call be simulated?
SPOCK: The sounds, but not the language. We would be responding in gibberish.
KIRK: Does the species exist on any other planet?
SPOCK: Negative. Humpbacks were indigenous to Earth. Earth of the past.
KIRK: Then we have no choice. We must destroy the Probe before it destroys Earth.
SPOCK: To attempt to do so would be futile, Admiral. The Probe could render us neutral easily.
KIRK: But we can't turn away! ...There must be an alternative?
SPOCK: There is one possibility, but I cannot guarantee its success. We could attempt to find some humpback whales.
McCOY: You just said there aren't any, except on Earth of the past.
SPOCK: Yes Doctor, that's exactly what I said.
McCOY: Well, in that case... Now wait just a damn minute!
KIRK: Spock, start your computations for time warp.
