    The Corregidor

    Yes. With Hammerhead, I wrote a story I didn't have the writing chops to finish. I've been working out. Yes. The long-awaited conclusion is on the way.
  2. Reminds me of a popular Irish drinking song: 🎵Cuz we fight, and we drink, and we drink, and we fight...🎵
  3. They must have been on sale. I've got the same model and can't find replacement tubes.
  4. Damn East German electronics!
  5. Yes- it's a challenge. I've been using a spreadsheet and will at some point add a dramatis persona page.
  6. Yes, the writing was so much better before Darth Mouse took over.
  7. I've seen this play before. They've thrown this bone out several times to distract the hounds. Usually when they needed the public and opposition pols to look the other way. Something is afoot, and it sure isn't aliens.
  8. Good sci-fi's chief sinew is the suspension of disbelief. Without it, the story just won't fly.
  9. Tune in and find out.
  10. Doctor Who routinely goes much further afield in time than 2620 and there's always a bloke with a British accent.
  11. Theta Indus 337 System 7th Fleet Anchorage & Attached Facilities Classified Research Station 2620 April 04 0730 The station’s small staff was gathered around what seemed like an overlarge conference table for the gathering.

Dr. Simmons, you have the floor.” Alisha Simmons looked up from her computer pad and said, “As of the last series of temporal incursions, we now have a hundred subje
  12. The future needs yesterday's fallen. A Hammerhead Universe Story
  13. Temporal Incursion 1939-10-14 Able 00:58 Scapa Flow, Scotland HMS Royal Oak Boy Seamen’s Berths Ian McAlister was utterly knackered. Who would have guessed there would be so much work on an old battleship like Royal Oak riding at anchor? It was hard, dirty work that took more back than brains. At sixteen, Ian was one of the older boy seamen aboard and eligible to enlist in the Royal Navy on his next birthday. The rest of the boys in his section were
  14. Earth has fallen. The mighty Alliance fleet was trashed in a lightning attack by advanced aliens. Earth and her many colonies are occupied. All that left to defend human freedom are secret military and research bases scattered throughout the vast stretches of Alliance space. Soldiers, sailors and airmen are needed desperately and the only place to find them without dire consequences for Earth or the colonies is in the past.
  15. Isn't it, though? I guess it's more fun and a good distraction from actually doing work on the grim stuff that's facing our country. I enjoy being jerked off as much as the next guy, but not by politicians.
  16. Amplifier is a British band that reminds me of Tool. They are one of those bands you discover and turn into Gollum: MY PRECIOUS! Summer is coming soon!
  17. Meet my pal, Jeb Stuart. We met one-day last spring and I knew we were going to be pals from the start. He was a young Tom riding on the back of a terrified medium-sized dog. I fed Jeb and eventually tamed him enough to adopt him. Why Jeb Stuart? We live in Mississippi, he's gray and obviously a cavalry man.
  18. Of all the travails in my long life, one of the strangest and most frustrating was the Great Appliance Rebellion of 1998. Practically, every appliance in the house got depressed and committed suicide, or Murphy was working overtime.
  19. If you want to make something expensive and overcomplicate it, just add an attorney.
  20. If you dig Tool, you're going to love this...
  21. Dude, like you've got to hear this. It's tight man. Smooth but tight and takes me somewhere good.
