Chris Delnat Writes...
We lived in Harmon Village from around 1960 through 1968. We were there during Typhoon Karen in 1962 which removed over half of Lower Harmon.
I remember playing in the boonies, the bomb shelters (did you go in them during typhoons? I remember one in 67 or 68.
It really is too bad there is not even any pictures of the bomb shelters although I can't imagine anything taking them out. When we lived there the boonies were growing on the sandbags and they were disappearing, but still there and still safe during typhoons (well the water got a bit high but the men would bring beds in)
We were the Braffets-five kids. We surely played together. My parents were high school teachers. For a while we lived in Agana boat basin on the trimaran my father built.
Interesting reading your 2007 blog entries.

Does The Fact That Archie Finally Picks Veronica End The Blond VS Brunette Debate?
In what's being billed the "Archie Story of the Century," it looks like Archie is finally going to make a choice between sweet, blond, girl next door Betty and brunette, sophisticated rich girl Veronica. Supposedly the storyline will span a six-part series, beginning with the comic's issue number 600, Archie Marries Veronica Part 1: The Proposal, set to hit comic shops Aug. 19 and newsstands on Sept. 1.
Is the recession already over?
I was watching CNBC yesterday and they did a story with the same title as this post. Apparently someone surveyed this country's top economist and 90% of them expect the recession to end sometime this year. A number of them believe the recession has already ended. What's your take - do you think the worst of it is over?

Military readiness changed to DefCon 2 due to that North Korean douchebag stirring things up once again.

Just a Warning
Too Much Anger and Hostility Increase Heart Disease
Monday, March 30, 2009 - Byron J. Richards, CCN
Stress takes multiple tolls on your body. New evidence shows that too much anger or hostility increases the risk of a first cardiovascular adverse event in a healthy person by 19% and increases the risk for a new cardiovascular event in someone with heart disease by 24%. Men were more adversely affected by anger than women.

Obama won't put his hand over his heart
President Obama refused to put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem. I watched it in disbelief. Later, Vice President Biden did the same thing. I believe his was during taps. Liberals have absolutely no respect for those who have made them free. I find it disgusting and repulsive. I am so sick of liberals singing protest songs, burning the American Flag and wearing peace signs (which is a broken cross). Now a President who wont put his hand over his heart.

Aircraft/Vehicle/Ground: F4D "Phantom II"
Other Personnel in Incident: Douglas D. Ferguson (missing)
REMARKS:
SYNOPSIS: The McDonnell F4 Phantom used by Air Force, Marine and Navy air wings served a multitude of functions including fighter/bomber, interceptor, photo/electronic surveillance, and reconnaissance. The two man aircraft was extremely fast (Mach 2) and had a long range, 900 - 2300 miles depending on stores and mission type. The F4 was also extremely maneuverable and handled well at low and high altitudes. It was selected for a number of state-of-the-art electronics conversions, which improved radar intercept and computer bombing capabilities enormously. Most pilots considered it one of the "hottest" planes around.
On 30 December 1969, Capt. Fielding W. Featherston III, pilot, and 1st Lt. Douglas D. Ferguson, co-pilot, comprised the crew of an F4D, call sign "Loredo 03," mission identifier: Barrel Roll. Their intended target was a petroleum/oil/lubricant (POL) facility located in the heavily forested, mountainous area of Xiangkhouang Province, Laos. This region was under the complete control of North Vietnamese Army (NVA) forces. Further, this area of Laos was considered a major supplier of POL products for the communist war effort. It was located in close proximity to the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail. When North Vietnam began to increase its military strength in South Vietnam, NVA and Viet Cong troops again intruded on neutral Laos for sanctuary, as the Viet Minh had done during the war with the French some years before. This border road was used by the Communists to transport weapons, supplies and troops from North Vietnam into South Vietnam, and was frequently no more than a path cut through the jungle covered mountains. US forces used all assets available to them to stop this flow of men and supplies from moving south into the war zone.
At 1700 hours Capt. Featherston and Capt. Ferguson arrived in the target area. The on site Forward Air Controller (FAC) directed them to strafe the target. An RF4C also participating in this mission arrived in time to observe Loredo 03 pulling off target, then watched as they made another pass on the POL facility. The crew of the RF4C then saw Fielding Featherston and Doug Ferguson's aircraft attempt a third ordnance delivery run and impact the ground approximately ¼ mile beyond the target resulting in an explosion and large fireball. The other aircrews in the area did not see any ground fire directed at Loredo 03. Likewise, they did not see the crew eject which they attributed in part to shadows cast by trees in and around the site. An electronic search was immediately initiated, but with negative results.
On 31 December, a visual, photographic and electronic search of the loss area was conducted. The wreckage was located approximately 25 kilometers southwest of Houamuang, 500 meters north-northwest of Nakhang.

Seventy Six
My parents got me hooked on golf about 15 years ago. I was a real fanatic for a few years playing at least once or twice a week. I got my game down to a pretty consistent low 80's but never could take it to the next level. After awhile I quit playing out of frustration and other personal factors.I picked the game up again last summer when I knew I would be moving to Michigan (Michigan has some of the best golf in the World during its 2 weeks of summer). This time around I promised I would get serious. I bought new clubs (Cobra's) and worked on my swing all winter at a heated driving range. I even set a goal for myself. Yep, this summer I was going to break into the 70's.
Well I'm proud to say that after only a month of playable golfing weather I have reached my goal. That's right - a seventy-frickin-six. Next stop - the Seniors Tour! LOL

Ask grandma!
Little 7 year old Johnny was staying with his grandmother for a few days.
He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into the house and asked grandma, "what's that called when two people sleep in the same room and on is on top of the other?"
Granny was taken off guard. No question like this had come up for years, but she decided to tell him the truth.
"It's called sex, darling"
Little Johnny said, "oh, OK" and went back outside to play with the other kids.
A few minutes later he came back in and said as mad as he could, "Gramma, it isn't called sex. It's called bunk beds. And Jimmy's mom wants to talk to you."

I got the DVD and played it for my wife and kids. They were like Oh my God you were so skinny and the especially thought Uncle Mac was especially dorky looking. They loved it.
Thanks again my friend.

Back to the funny pages
Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all.
One afternoon the pastor cam to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea.
As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the your minister noticed a cute glass bowl sitting on tip of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom!
When she returned with tea with tea and scones, they began to chat.
The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist
"Miss Beatrice", he said, "I wounder if yo would tell me about this?" Pointing to the bowl.
"Oh, yes," she replied, "isn't it wonderful?"
"I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter."

What is Pro-Choice? To eliminate abstinence education!
"Obama's budget eliminates abstinence education"
"Keeping with a campaign pledge 'not continue to fund abstinence-only programs'....."
It cuts funding for any "abstinence" programs, not just abstinence-only.
"This Budget eliminates funding for Community-Based Abstinence Education, the mandatory Title V Abstinence Education program, the Compassion Capital Fund, and Rural Community Facilities."
I took this from a liberal web page:

We know there was oil on the ground 20 years ago, but today it is a pristine landscape. With out any scars of the past. Dang, makes me want to be there.
Are you a Democrat, Republican or Redneck?
This will help you decide.
Okay, you are walking down a deserted street with your spouse and children.
Suddenly, and Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife come around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.
You are carrying a Glock model 21, 40 S&W, and an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
If you do the following, you are a Democrat.
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
What does my spouse think?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the pistol (its called a side arm) have appropriate safety built into it (no, the Glock model 22 is a pull the trigger weapon)?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! i need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

Pfizer to Give Away Viagra to Unemployed
If the economic down turn has hit you hard causing you to lose the benefits of employment no need to fear; pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has created a program to provide you with free Viagra (and 69 other drugs). “We thought there must be some way we could help recently unemployed people who are taking Pfizer medicines to continue treatment during these challenging economic times” said Dr. Jorge Puente. Now there's a stimulus package we can all agree on. ;)
Elite Gather in Greece to Decide World's Fate
The Bilderberg Group is meeting in Vouliagmeni, Greece this weekend to presumably make plans for next year's world events. According to PrisonPlanet.com this year's agenda includes plans for a global department of health, a global treasury and a shortened depression rather than a longer economic downturn. It's also been rumored they plan to change the rotation of Earth's axes and make a black man leader of the free world. Yeah whatever... happy conspiracy hunting!

Meth-filled candy sent from WA to GU
Meth-filled candy sent from WASH. to GUAM

Hot in recession: SPAM
Hot in recession: SPAM, Chocolate & running shoes....
By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer – Sat May 16, 12:27 pm ET
WASHINGTON – It's not all doom and gloom in the U.S. economy. Some products are bucking the recession and flying off store shelves.
Sales of chocolate and running shoes are up. Wine drinkers haven't stopped sipping; they just seem to be choosing cheaper vintages.
Gold coins are selling like hot cakes. So are gardening seeds. Tanning products are piling up in shopping carts; maybe more people are finding color in a bottle than from sun-worshipping on a faraway beach.
Strong sales of SPAM, Dinty Moore stew and chili helped Hormel Foods Corp. post a 6 percent increase in first quarter sales in its grocery products unit..... ...

POTW - Hookey
I felt burnt out yesterday so I left work early and picked up Linh to go hang out at the Marriott beach bar last night.
I'm going out on a limb here.
Listen, I have a suggestion to make. I would like everyone to comment on it, and get some of them that have wondered astray to read it and comment on it as well.
I am like the pot calling the kettle black here, so bear with me.
I have talked to several people that have not been on the blog lately. Every one of them said that the DC blog no longer stands for us, but rather District of Columbia. I know and remember sitting on the curb debating the universe, but we are no longer even doing that. One of the people that left, even said that it was my words that made them leave and not look back. Yes, me. I have to be the first one to the plate on this, because things I have said in the past were worse and more hurtful than anything everyone else said put together. I am committed ( an have been committed, and certifiable, and well you know) to making this the Dean's Circle blog again. We all have our own political, spiritual, _______________(fill in the blank) fundamentals. I do enjoy a good political, spiritual, _____________(fill in the blank) discussion as much if not more than the next person. Even though we have all gone our separate ways, RAC, Cindy and Dave have brought us back together again. After reading Ric's post, Seeing Joanna and Sam's kids (and hearing from Aubrey), as well as Paul's POW, Juliet's pigs ................................ I have come to the conclusion that we still have a lot of things to catch up on. If you want to hear what joe blow politician has to say, lets make another blog adjacent to this one. I will be on there as much as I am here, but lets talk about other people, places and experiences we have in common. Bring to mind places, teachers, (like the guy that held Dan up by his neck), first kiss, bones broken, pot smoked.....................
I know I have no power on the blog, and I am the last person anyone would follow, but I implore you all to consider this. Lets bring back those who I have chased off. Ric asked about Dan and Amy. We do not hear from enough rats anymore. I can not thank you three for bringing us back together. Lets not stop posting funny opposing views, but lets do it "laughing with you" rather than to spite someone, or get their dander up.
Well, I said my peace. I am going to bed now, but please at least think about it. Find someone to invite back. Tell them, "DRL is back on his meds". Oh, tell them free ribs if they show up :)

Nice E-mail
I just got an e-mail from an old Army buddy of mine from our Army days in Germany (1980-1982). After some 25 years (as of 2 years ago) we were reunited after searching for each other. But thanks to the Internet, allot is possible. (Kind of like this blog and the research that was done to get us all back together). We had our own little reunion in Baltimore, Maryland, two years ago, and still consider each other as best friends. True friendships never do die.
Those of you that served in the Service understand these kind of friendships.
But, the same kind of friendships existed with us that grew up on the 'Rock' (Guam).
Hope you read the post. It is inspirational. Hope you find the opportunity to read it.

Harmon Village-1965?
We lived in Harmon Village from around 1960 through 1968. We were there during Typhoon Karen in 1962 which removed over half of Lower Harmon.
I remember playing in the boonies, the bomb shelters (did you go in them during typhoons? I remember one in 67 or 68.
It really is too bad there is not even any pictures of the bomb shelters although I can't imagine anything taking them out. When we lived there the boonies were growing on the sandbags and they were disappearing, but still there and still safe during typhoons (well the water got a bit high but the men would bring beds in)
We were the Braffets-five kids. We surely played together. My parents were high school teachers. For a while we lived in Agana boat basin on the trimaran my father built.
Interesting reading your 2007 blog entries.

Obama said he will pull the troops out.
Presidential candidate Obama said, "I made clear my support for a timeline of sixteen months to carry out this draw-down,......Those consultations are now complete, and I have chosen a timeline that will REMOVE our combat brigades over the next eighteen months." He added, "We will retain a transitional force to carry out three distinct functions: training, equipping and advising Iraqi Security Forces as long as they REMAIN NON-SECTARIAN".
"it (the war) was based on a 'pack of lies', that it was an 'illegal' war of aggression, and oil grab, and has zero legitimacy such that the US has no right to be there at all"
When asked about Bush's actions in Iraq, "He is bound to the same FAILED course that we have seen for the last several years".

Where is the protest song about Obama???????
Hey, more troops are dying in Iraq and civilian casualties are up in Afghanistan. So, Cindy, where is the protest song about this to Obama???
You hate the war so much, and Obama was suppose to pull us out, but more are dying now than when Bush was in office. So, why the double standard? What is it that you have for Obama? If he lied to you, aren't you mad? Come on, don't waffle on us now. I know how you feel, so speak up. Post a protest song or admit you were wrong.

Obama steps in it by agreeing to extend DC vouchers for existing students
The liberal position is that public schools are great and all children should attend them. That there is no need for competition and, in fact, that competetion is a bad thing. There was much uproar when then DC voucher program was cancelled, but those currently recieving the vouchers. Now that Obama has decided to allow the program to continue for current students, what is his real message?
If public schools are just as good as the private ones, why make the compromise at all?
If the private schools are better than the public ones (as if there is any question), then why not expand the voucher program rather than cancelling it?

GOP loses top spokesman and advisor
Joe the Plumber announced to Time magazine he is so outraged by GOP overspending, he’s quitting the Republican party. The news is causing panic in Republican circles as they scramble to fill the leadership void. I have to wonder if one of the regular Joe's here would be willing to step up and take his place. I would do it myself (hey, I can lie too) but that transvestite Ann Coulter makes me puke. I was thinking something more along the lines of :

Obama's attorney general to help prosecute Bush
Okay RAC, this is your side now.
What do you think about President Obama helping a Spanish Judge (who's own government has said to drop) prosecute Former President Bush and his administration. That is a generalisation. But I will listen to you before giving my opinion of a standing President assisting a foreigner government prosecute a former President.

Happy Birthday To Me
In honor of my 52nd birthday today (May 5th), I'm posting this list that I really love. It was written by a woman named Patricia Volonakis Davis and posted on her blog. It's so true!!!
"Screw You, I'm 52...and I have wrinkles, receding gums, and a higher income tax bracket. But there are some benefits to aging, believe it or not. If you were paying attention at all, by the time you’re over fifty like me, you’ll have learned something about life.
The following are some things I now know for sure to be true:
1) Being ‘sexy’ doesn’t necessarily come from having youthful, physical flawlessness. No matter how old we get, women (and men) can still exude sensuousness by their enthusiasm for people and new experiences. You’ll be surprised at how many young people appreciate that in an older person. (I guess it makes them feel that they’re not falling head first into the grave as soon as they reach forty.)
2) The Rolling Stones will always be cool. They’ll never stop giving terrific performances. In fact, they might even be immortal, sort of like vampires.
3) Doing what’s right, what makes you feel happy and productive, are sometimes mentally and physically exhausting, especially when you have to do them alone. But in the long run, it’s much harder on the spirit and body to pretend that there was nothing you could do to live a more fulfilling life, or nothing you could do to make a positive change in the world.
4) If you own one good black outfit that fits you well and flatters your figure, and you add the right casual or dressy accessories, you’re pretty much ready to go anywhere. This might also be true for men, especially The Rolling Stones.
5) Almost everyone in The United States of America (and probably other countries, too) has thought about writing a book, if they could “just find the time.”
6) If you want to be unforgettable, treat people with respect, warmth, and interest, no matter what their age, background, or station. This goes for everyone, including your neighbor’s five-year-old, your deaf uncle, and the woman who cleans the communal stairs in your apartment complex.
7) In the same vein, you can learn something new and beneficial from everyone, including your neighbor’s five-year-old, your deaf uncle, and the woman who cleans the communal stairs in your apartment complex.
8) There is nothing more valuable than a true friend, and nothing more despicable than one who betrays you. A rotten friend does more damage to your psyche than a rotten lover. So pick your friends even more carefully than you pick your lovers.
9) Always keep your toenails freshly-pedicured. You never know when you’ll have to take off your shoes.
10) You can make a man want you just by laughing at his jokes.
11) There are some people you just have to walk away from, and never look back. These can be anyone from a pushy salesperson to your own parents.
12) Your true love does not have to come with the perfect face. He or she only has to come with the perfect soul. And you won’t believe what a perfect soul will do for one’s perception of a face.
13) If you have children, remember that they’re not your clones. They have their own dreams, opinions, and goals. To maintain a loving, mutually-rewarding relationship with them, let them know you appreciate and accept that.
14) Also when it comes to your kids, you might as well do what you think is right, because you’re going to get blamed anyway, for getting it wrong.
15) To paraphrase another saying, whether you think you’re too old, or not too old to try something new, you’re right.
16) Not everyone appreciates a hug from a stranger, but a kind word is always welcome.
17) Unless you pay them, nobody really wants to hear about your rotten childhood, because they’re still trying to work through their own.
18) Flossing is very important, just as your dentist tells you. I’m not joking. Do it.
19) World peace will not be achieved in my lifetime. I honestly thought it would, because it seems so easy to me. But it isn’t for too many others, so I accept it now that I won’t live to see it.
20) No matter how rich, worldly, or old a man gets, he still loves to talk about Spider-man.
21) And last, if you work to leave whatever place you’re in a little bit better than it was before you got to it, whether it’s a job, a relationship or a situation, you’ll die a happy person. "

Jack Kemp Is Dead!
Jack Kemp passed away today at 73.A good conservative,and American.He will be missed.
Obama Calls For NCAA Playoffs
I'm gonna throw my weight around a litle bit.. I think it's the right thing to do. hahaha...
Government Mandated NCAA Football Playoff ?
Now why would the Federal Government want to interfere with and gain control of College football? Why is BHO so bent out of shape over the way the Bowl games are played? Could it be that he is trying to grab a piece of the money pie? Does anyone think that he is so concerned about the teams or the conference and the fairness of the current Bowl system? I seriously doubt it. Sounds to me like meddling fingers at work again, trying to exert more authority and control over the private sector. Like the Feds don't have enough on their plate already...
Words of the real deal or the pretender?
Property is the fruit of labor. . . property is desirable. . . is a positive goal in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that hsi own shall be safe from violence when built.
All hail our historical first black(mailing) president
Frank Beckman of WJR radio talks with Tom Lauria, bankruptcy attorney at White & Case, who represents a group of lenders that object to the Chrysler sale. When one of his clients did not go along with our presidents demands, the white house threatened to destroy his reputation through the white house press corps.

Never slap a man who is chewing tobacco
There are three kinds of men:
1) The ones that learns by reading.
2) The few that learn by observing.
3) The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
Just some advise. Never, ever take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Clever Comment
Someone named 1hotblonde posted this comment after a swine flu story posted on our local newpapers web site. I thought is was pretty clever and funny.
"People have said: A black man will become president "when pigs fly." Now 100 days in office and we have a "pig flu (flew)."
