Sooooo - Russia had a bunch of data centers taken out, the result of which is that there is a huge reduction in bot traffic in American social media. Also the pings are gone from this blog. Can't say I miss them. Reports say that the data centers are going to be almost impossible to replace due to inability to get the needed supplies to replace the infrastructure. I am thrilled to have a reduction in the digital disinformation campaign waged against this country for the past decade or so. It has been incredibly effective in sewing division and discontent in the country, radicalizing those who do not have the ability to critically think.

I did get my hair cut, got to visit with some of my favorite peeps.  Lord Buckingham was at daycare, so I was foot loose and fancy free.  It was a very relaxing day.  I went to work today with a smile, having slept well and just felt all around good. I needed it, since the world is going to $&%@* around me.  The piper is coming to be paid, and everyone seems shocked.  I’m not.  Saw this coming when I left DoD work - goodness 35 years ago.   I’ve never regretted medi...
