AARON S. ZELMAN, 1946 - 2010
At the BACKWOODS HOME MAGAZINE web site, Claire Wolfe indicates that Aaron S. Zelman suffered from Marfan's Syndrome.
This is a stunning loss for America's forces of Liberty.
Here is a movie that Aaron S. Zelman produced:
May you rest in peace, my fellow patriot.

WHEN THE INTERNET IS OUTLAWED - - -
What are we going to do when our own government decides to begin regulating the Internet, and/or to shut it down completely, which they are already threatening to do?
I just received the link to this video from the FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE web site.
I don't quite understand all the technology, but I do recognize that this is a good idea which needs further development and experimentation.

CZECH AMERICAN CHRISTMAS CARD
For a larger view, please click on the picture.
This is a Christmas card I just received from my buddy, Robert, a geologist, linguist, entrepreneur, and singer/songwriter.
(At his request, his full identity is not revealed.)
He and his older brother (who was killed in the fighting) fought Russian tanks in the streets of Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1968, after which, Robert escaped to the West, emigrated to the United States of America, became a citizen, and converted to The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints.
He and I met several years back when we were camping out in the mountains of Utah at a Latter-day Saint gathering.

A VISIT TO MY ROOM
This slide show is a photographic tour of my personal quarters here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi.
Be sure to watch this slide show in "FULL SCREEN" mode.
As you can see from the photographs in this slide show, my brand new furnished apartment here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi (i.e, the "Naval Home") is far more spacious than was my previous comfortably furnished room at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, D.C. (i.e., the "Soldiers' Home").
Ah, just look at the SIZE of that bed!
My personal quarters having been furnished with a sofa, armchair, and a kitchen, I can now comfortably entertain visitors (if I had any).
Note the wall to wall carpet and floor to ceiling windows.
In the ceiling of my latrine, there is a heat lamp, but nobody has yet told me what it's for, or how to use it.
On the wall of my latrine is a button that I have to push every morning, or else, someone will come looking to see if I passed away during the night.
In fact, in the short time since I've been here, there have already been several deaths.
Our local Veterans Administration Medical Center, our National Cemetery, and Keesler Air Force Base are within a few minutes drive, and representatives from local funeral homes visit here daily to solicit business.
In the slide show, did you notice the photograph of the open strongbox?
In the event of my death, that is where all of my important financial, military, educational, and organizational documents are stored, along with my Last Will and Testament and specific burial instructions.
(Actually, my Will and burial instructions need to be reviewed, revised, and updated - - - IF only I'd stop procrastinating.)
I want a Latter-day Saint funeral with military rites.
For some odd reason, the Armed Forces Retirement Home did not see fit to install cabinets underneath the sink in the latrine for storing cleaning supplies, and the medicine cabinet is very shallow, and won't accommodate but a few small toiletry items.
Surprisingly, a bathmat, towels, and washcloth were supplied for my latrine.
My closet is very small, but the large wooden wardrobe cabinet provides adequate additional space for storing clothing and other sundries.
Within the closet, is a wall safe with a programmable combination lock, but so far, I don't have any cash or valuables to put in the safe.
In a room on the main floor, there are lockable storage cages assigned to each resident for stowing luggage, boxes, or miscellaneous extras.
As an unexpected bonus, the Armed Forces Retirement Home paid for all of my personal belongings to be shipped here.
Unfortunately, because my quarters are located only on the third floor, and at the rear of this eight story building, I can barely glimpse the ocean from my balcony, although I do enjoy an excellent view of (mostly) CSX and Union Pacific freight trains as they pass by on the old Louisville and Nashville Railroad track.
(Once, I saw a mixed manifest freight train being pulled by Ferromex locomotives, and twice, I saw Kansas City Southern locomotives pulling flatcars loaded with camouflaged military vehicles.)
Each floor has a laundry room with two (02) washing machines and two (02) driers.
However, while I'm currently still able to do my own laundry, the pain in my back is becoming increasingly unbearable, and I wonder how much longer I have left before I'm no longer able to do even simple tasks such as laundry or changing the linen on my bed?
I've got medicine for the pain, but I avoid taking it, because it leaves me intoxicated and incapacitated.
Each floor also includes a dayroom with a large flat screen television connected to cable.
As for myself, I no longer subscribe to cable television, nor do I have a conventional land line telephone.
Instead, I get all of my television or movie entertainment on the Internet, via the Hulu (which is free, but has commercials) or NetFlix (which has no commercials, and costs ten dollars a month) web sites, and I enjoy the convenience of using a prepaid cell phone from the TracFone web site (i.e., mobility AND no monthly bill).
Ice dispensing machines are available on the fourth floor.
On each floor, at either end of the hallway, are floor to ceiling windows offering grand views (depending on which direction you're facing towards) of the Gulf of Mexico or the expanse of lush green forestry which almost totally conceals the residential neighborhoods of Gulfport and Biloxi.
The Armed Forces Retirement Home has its own private beach, with a pedestrian bridge crossing over the highway, so I plan to spend a lot of my time wading in the ocean (which is unusually shallow in this area), or strumming my guitar while lazily lolling about on the sand.
I am able to combat park my full sized four wheel drive pickup truck inside the garage beneath the building, and my vehicle now has a brand new Mississippi special license plate displaying the Bronze Star Medal.
I feel much safer here than I did in Washington, D.C., for three (03) reasons.
First, firearms are legal in Mississippi.
The District of Columbia continues to deliberately flout, circumvent, and outright negate the published decision of the Supreme Court of the United States by flagrantly imposing capricious municipal regulations effectively making it impossible for ordinary private citizens to own or carry personal firearms.
Second, the population of Gulfport and Biloxi is mostly White.
In the District of Columbia, the majority of the population are Negroes, and as a group, they seem to actually prefer living down to and perpetuating their own worst racial stereotypes of ignorance, filthiness, and violence.
As a result, murder in the District of Columbia is a daily occurrence, and the city's deterioration resembles an impoverished Third World war zone.
Third, it's easy to get around in Gulfport and Biloxi, with every convenience located just a short drive away.
In the District of Columbia megalopolitan area, constant traffic congestion, coupled with accidents and criminal activity, makes streets and roads frequently impassable or unnavigable, thus leaving any evacuation during an emergency out of the realm of possibility.
Because of these differences, I plan to become much more diligent in attending religious services at my local Gulfport Ward of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints.
About the only negative aspect of life here on the Gulf Coast in Mississippi, is that access on the Internet, via Cable One, is agonizingly slow, and it's unreasonably expensive.
Also, Mississippi has a sales tax that always catches me by surprise, and the cost of registering a personal vehicle in Mississippi is exorbitant.
An amusing aspect here at the Naval Home is that our Navy Exchange (i.e., what my beloved United States Army calls a "Post Exchange", or "PX") features an entire wall of floor to ceiling shelves filled to capacity with every variety, brand, and size of containers of whiskey.
Just across the hall, is "Fiddler's Green", where aged and infirm residents can freely imbibe, as they quietly reminisce in the comfortable darkness of our saloon.
I was surprised to see the United States Navy use the term, "Fiddler's Green", for I had always thought that was exclusively a traditional Cavalry term for the afterlife.
(As many of you know, while the majority of my military service was in the Signal Corps, during my final years in the United States Army, I proudly wore the spurs of a Cavalry scout.)
Aaaahh, but all in all, life here is so much better!

What, no eggnog?
The menu doesn't indicate it, but at all of our holiday and birthday meals, both red and white wine are customarily served.
The mess hall serves chow from 1130 Hours until 1300 Hours.
For those who don't live here, the meal costs seven dollars and zero cents ($7.00).
There's already a huge decorated Christmas tree set up in our mess hall, and I reckon it's possible that Santa Claus will visit, and maybe there'll even be carollers performing.
Yes, of course, I plan to have my camera there with me.

THE "RELIGION OF PEACE"?
*************************************************************
*************************************************************
Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:
This took place in the Sudan on Wednesday 08 December 2010.
The woman was sentenced to fifty-three (53) lashes for the crime of wearing trousers.
In her agony, she is screaming for her mother.
Be sure to watch this in "FULL SCREEN" mode.
WARNING!!!
Watch this and share it while you can, for it may not be available a few days from now.
Adherents of Islam are notorious for restricting access to information.
Earlier, when I posted this, the video was suddenly removed from the YOU TUBE web site.
So, I had to search for another video to replace the previous one.
Why aren't the police being physically overwhelmed and violently lynched by a throng of outraged spectators?
Where is this woman's family, and why don't they intervene?
This is the reason why every private citizen should always carry a loaded firearm.
Since Islam has publicly declared that all Christians and Jews must either be converted or be killed, then the religion of Islam must be outlawed in the United States of America, and all of its followers immediately arrested, incarcerated, and forever exiled from our beloved country.
Thank you.

LET'S CELEBRATE!
***************************************
***************************************
Do you know what TODAY is?
Two hundred and nineteen years ago, on 15 December 1791, the (then) fourteen United States of America formally ratified the Bill of Rights.
So, let's have a party today, and indulge in some good ol' fashioned patriotic flag waving!
(For a larger view, please click on the picture.)
The representatives from the fourteen states INSISTED on a Bill of Rights being included with our newly created and divinely inspired Constitution of The United States of America, or else, they would refuse to sign it.
As a reminder, please remember that we do NOT get our rights from the Constitution or the government.
Our rights as citizens of the United States of America are UNALIENABLE rights, rights we were born with, rights which NO government agency may legally interfere with, and they are our precious gift from Almighty God.

CHURCH CHRISTMAS PARTY!
On Saturday 11 December 2010, Doris Jones and I attended the Christmas party at the Gulfport Ward of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints in Gulfport, Mississippi.
Doris Jones is a retired United States Army nurse, and she and I both reside in the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi.
The buffet food was delicious.
I had ham and corn on the cob, with some highly decorative chocolate cake for dessert.
I also ate some stuff that was really HOT, but I don't know what it was, although it was good.
All the cute wee ones REALLY had a time of it, joyously scampering all about and gleefully chirping, squeaking, and squealing.
In the video, did you notice how the baby girl wasn't impressed with Santa, but reached out towards her mommy to be held?
After the Christmas party, Doris Jones invited me to accompany her to the Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi to watch Brandon Bennett performing his impersonation of Elvis Presley.
At times, the show was amusing, as adoring female fans donated money to charity in exchange for a chance to kiss "Elvis" on the cheek, or receive a sweat stained scarf.
At one point, Brandon Bennett introduced his costumed five year old son, who stole the show, driving the audience hilariously berserk as he attempted to imitate his father's movements on stage.
Unfortunately, due to all the overwhelming din of noise, I couldn't understand any of the lyrics the performer was singing, but I did recognize a couple of the songs as ones that I sometimes sing.
Be sure to watch the video and slide shows in "FULL SCREEN" mode!

PEARL HARBOR REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY
At 0900 Hours on Tuesday 07 December 2010, the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi held a brief ceremony to mark the sixty-ninth anniversary of the sneak attack on the American military installations at Pearl Harbor, in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, by the Empire of Japan, which forced the United States of America to enter the Second World War.
Opening remarks were made by Richard Heath, the Director of the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi, and a military chaplain invoked a prayer.
A memorial wreath was placed at the Home's flagpole by a female veteran of the Second World War, accompanied by two females on active duty with the United States Navy.
There are two (02) actual survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor who reside here, but due to ill health, neither could participate in this ceremony.
A female employee of the Home played the bagpipes, and a bugler from the Honor Guard at Keesler Air Force Base sounded "TAPS".

"SAYONARA"
This video was created and posted on the YOU TUBE web site by "BOOGETMAN 65".
This is one of my favorite movies, and if you wish to see it, it's available on DVD from the NETFLIX web site.
When I was a boy, my family lived at Ashiya Air Force Base on the island of Kyushu, and when I was a soldier serving in Viet Nam, I went to Japan on R&R, visiting Osaka, Kamakura, Enoshima, Tokyo, and Yokohama.
If you want to sing the song, here are the lyrics:
"SAYONARA"
Words and Music By:
IRVING BERLIN
Sayonara,
Japanese "goodbye".
Whisper, "sayonara".
Lover, don't you cry.
No more, we stop to see
Pretty cherry blossom.
No more, we 'neath the tree
Looking at the sky.
Sayonara, sayonara,
Goodbye!
