The Angel
The Ranger unit loaded up into an M-35 truck to head out on patrol. It was 1425 local, and they were scheduled to roll out at 1430 hours. They had three outposts to check on and were expecting to be gone about four hours. Sergeant Prince was in the passenger seat, as leader of the unit, with his driver and four soldiers in the back of the truck.

The Cliff
The adults gathered near the edge of the cliff. Of the thirty boys and ten adults that had camped on the mountaintop, ten of the older boys and four of the leaders were rappelling down the face. It was a hundred and fifty-foot rappel, and they had been practicing for months. Aside from the mental challenge of stepping off a cliff, they had to deal with the logistical challenge of getting fourteen backpacks down the cliff face. The boys had redistributed a lot of their stuff to other boys in their patrols, so they weren’t carrying tents, but they did have sleeping bags, clothes and other essentials. The packs were mostly about twenty pounds or so.

Import to Kindle
If you have a document that you want to read on your Kindle device or Kindle app, there is a way to get it there. Depending on how you do it, you might still even have access to cool extras like being able to make notes. If only takes a few minutes, and isn't difficult, but there are a few steps.

Lucinda's New Life
Lucinda stepped off the elevator into the parking garage. Her head was still spinning. She wasn’t accustomed to decisions, much less making them under pressure. After taking the envelope, Mr. Stamps had just disappeared. She’d walked out of the conference room into the office, but it was empty, not so much as a sheet of paper on a desk or a sign on the wall.

Odyssey of the Mind
About five years ago, my youngest son told me he wanted to be on a Creativity Challenge team. He was in third grade, and they were accepting third through fifth graders... preference to the older grades. But then the teacher said the magic words... but if you are willing to coach, younger students will probably have a lock for getting on one of the teams.

Real Need
Come on... we've all seen it at some point. Disaster strikes and prices for some commodity rises dramatically. We all think the same thing... profiteer. Asshole. Greedy SOB. Governors enact laws because of the outcry, and everyone complains and shames.

Racecars in Hollywood
I have been a car guy for longer than I can remember. Apparently, before I could talk, I could make puttering noises as I "drove" toy cars around me. When I got older, I eschewed the traditional "invisible friend" for an invisible dump truck. I honestly only know that because of the stories I heard from parents and grandparents... it was a LONG time ago.
