A Glimpse Into The Mind of dave

In an attempt to get a rare glimpse into the intellectual mind of dave, you first have to turn down the sensor standby switch to high, otherwise any viewing at full capacity could be fatal to the ordinary person. Super powers can only be viewed by super people. Most all of my day-to-day decision processes are completed in standby mode. Heaven knows what full power generation would yield ... maybe world peace.
 
A partial neurological view of the right hemisphere of the cerebral cortex region; these complex receptors and neurotransmitters restrict the over activity of the numerous biochemical pathways into the inner brain of dave. Somehow.

A Tribute To A Hero

Mr. James "Jake" McNiece, leader of the famed WWII group that came to be known as the "Dirty Dozen" died Monday; he was 93. He actually commanded a group of rough men nicknamed "The Filthy 13" that dropped hours before the D-Day invasion behind enemy lines to destroy two bridges, control a third and cut off Nazi reinforcement to Normandy. Sixteen of the eighteen men were killed in action. His action served as the inspiration for the 1967 movie "The Dirty Dozen".
A prestigious hero of the "greatest generation" is gone.
 
In tribute to "Jake" some photos taken today at the 45th Infantry Division Museum in OKC. Remembrance of the sacrifices made by the American soldier in WWII.

Ban Attack Dogs, Not Guns

With all the discussion on Second Amendment rights, banning assault rifles and large capacity  magazine clips, people are missing the real threat to the public.
Pictured above is a highly trained undercover assault dog - trained to do one thing - kill on command. One moment kissy, kissy, in the next moment, in a flash - alive, alive, alive, alive -  dead.
 
The customary pre-attack stance. To the trained observer, back away slowly and make no sudden movement. The rattlesnake is coiled and poised for its' deadly strike. Then run.
 
The typical ambush pose ... we see you Carl ... no joke here.
 
The charge ... seconds before the lethal attack.
 
Razor-sharp fangs designed for killing with bone-crushing jaws.
 
Sheathed claws that rip through flesh and bone in seconds ... oh, the humanity ...
 
The classic grizzly hunch-back pre-attack stance. Few live to see or survive this strike.
 
This pre-attack command will unfurl a deadly rampage of pure terror.
 
Always, always, avoid direct eye contact interpreted as a hostile victim response.
 
Stand down, unloaded. The good thing here is this dog is registered. Attack Dogs don't kill people, people kill people. My mental health is ok, mom had me tested.
 
Next ... killer house cats. The case for gold fish don't make good pets.

 
 

Air Traffic Control

 The runway is occupied ... duck meets turtle
 
 Air space fly over, per tower ...
 
Flaps and wheels in the down position.
 
 Food trays and seats in the up position, prepare for landing ...
 
 
Final approach.
 

Touch down and throttle back ... flaps back.
