Found the Battlewagon

Plymouth Volare and Dodge Aspen including Super Coupe

Ah yes, the Battlewagon. Things you look for at 5 in the morning when you're waiting for a change to be executed.

The first picture shows pretty much the old wagon, the Volare, wood panels and all. The only difference between that Volare and the old Battlewagon are...this one's wood paneling looks normal, and it's left headlight isn't slightly askew...and it's not cream.

But I do have some memories of that old car. Learned to drive in that car...manual transmission and everything. Look at the great pic of the four on the floor gear shift further down. Simply brilliant stuff.

Anyway, it's long gone and dead...but it holds lots of memories.

The Enemy's Playbook

This is tremendous. An easy read, and facinating.

The first mistake one usually makes when thinking of others is to assume they are stupid. This work assumes the enemy is smart and is studying the playbook. It provides some insight into what mistakes the US may have made, and what things they are doing correctly. And some poor assumptions about the resolve of this country....or at least I hope they are poor.

Star Trek and The Singularity

Random thoughts pop up from time to time....like...

How did The Singularity impact the Star Trek storyline? I mean, did it not occur, or did humans find a way to control it? Is the Borg an illustration of how it could play out?

It's just an interesting idea since people are convinced it's almost here, and yet one of the great SciFi franchises seems to ignore it....except maybe the one where the Enterprise creates a lifeform.
