The only update is that there is no update. I’m as busy as a three peckered goat, and I just can’t spend a lot of time doing anything but work and my MSF course at present. Leslie is (supposedly) looking into hotels etc. but we’ve played phone tag. Sorry, lady, I’ll keep trying till we connect. Meanwhile write or comment with any questions.

Tonight we rode. Last night was all classroom but tonight we rode the course, starting with rocking back and forth and moving up to shifting and braking, some swerving.

None of this was particularly hard, though I will say I’m gonna want a LOT more practice. And the instructors are patient and quick. I just wish I had a days worth of practice time between each session, but I got that mean old “job” to do.

Mr Porretto, like Lots of folks is discussing the Zarqawi deal and I have yet to see anyone even bring up what I consider the most salient point of the whole affair.

US Intelligence had inside information, confirmation, of the existence of Zarqawi. And that info was good, and that info paid of.

What does that mean, really?

Simple. It means that within the very secretive and bizzarre society of the terrorist community, the US Military has allies. We have people at the TOP. People who knew where Zarqawi was, and could pinpoint his location. The armor of Islam as terror is cracking. That is the salient point. Taste that. Taste the flavor of it, roll it around your tongue like a fine wine. Even within the terrorist organizations themselves, Terrorism is beginning to crumble. Relish this moment.
