My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

 

 

Great day outside.

My dentist decided to observe Labor Day, so Tylenol will have to do until tomorrow. The toothache is not getting better on its own.

I knew Flag is having a wet monsoon…but so far there has been 170% more moisture than average. That means in 2021 there has been 10.35”; while the average is 6.09”. Better news is that monsoon season doesn’t end until Sep 30.

Ever hear of the WWII Richie Boys? I hadn’t until last night on 60 Minutes. They were a group that gathered intel on the European Front. They were German-Jews who had fled Nazi Germany in the late 1930’s and came to America. Because they spoke fluent everyday German, they were trained in Intelligence Gathering by the US Army at Fort Richie. They were able to interrogate German POW’s and figure out lots about troop movements and locations of troops. They are now being recognized for the major contribution they provided on the European Front. This is much like the Navajo Code Talkers to the Pacific Front in the Marines.  As I watched the report I had to wonder if the US Military had any secret Intelligence groups in Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. I certainly hope they did in Afghanistan and that they are still operating. The mission would still be top secret.
