A Dork To Remember
Inspired By Randy Wayne Jellison-Knock
Here is a snippet of conversation I had with a writer we all know and love, and a challenge I had to follow thru with
Randy: My fear is that when my time comes, Death will have forgotten my name & not know how to find me.
Kelli: No way. You’re unforgettable
Randy: Nightmares & bad dreams usually are, lol.
Kelli: Haha dork
Randy: Ah, the title for your next masterpiece: "A Dork to Remember"!
*
Ok, here we are
a promise I must keep
I'll try not to go too far
or dig in too deep
**
We've all seen his name
with detailed messages he's left
Encouraging a change
truly caring how we felt
***
Randy surely has a way
to make you feel heard
Never has bad things to say
rarely says dirty words
**
Just one of those supporters
that never lets you down
Like virtual transporters
you can be sure he's around
*
He, Poppy, Heather and Dhar
Dana, Cathy and her crew
Will, mother, Em and more
doing those supportive things they do
**
There are so many to mention
I don't mean to leave you out
Paul, Shirley, Brenton and Daphsam
Rachel, Judey and Mike without a doubt
***
Joe, Novel, KJ and Vicki
Taking the time to comment me
also, Rick, Mark and Angie
Mr. Scott and sweet LC
**
Lamar, Grz and Dylan
I tip my hat, it's true
I will feel like a villain
If I missed a name or 2
*
But you know who you are
and the super things that you do
If this dorky poem went too far
boohoo - it's in the title
**
It's a poem about Randy
the dorky writer with the Bible
The preacher sweet as candy
delivering encouragement that's vital

If India and Pakistan went nuclear, what would be the impact?
Tensions in Kashmir, fueled by the repeal of Article 370, lead to increased violence and Pakistan's involvement in supporting militant groups. China sees an opportunity to establish supremacy at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). 🗳️🔥 Pakistan and China launch a two-front attack on India, with Pakistan invading from the west and China from the east. India, prepared for this scenario, goes on the offensive against Pakistan while defending the LAC. 👊🇮🇳 Despite initial setbacks, India pushes back against Pakistan using its superior military strength. China, realizing the situation is not in its favor, withdraws support, leaving Pakistan alone. 🏃♂️🇨🇳 Faced with a losing conventional war, Pakistan's military leadership convinces interim Prime Minister Anwar ul Haq Kakar to prepare for a nuclear strike against India. ☢️💣 Pakistan's options for launching nuclear weapons are limited due to India's naval presence and air superiority. The Shaheen 2 medium-range ballistic missile becomes Pakistan's primary choice. 🚀 India detects Pakistan's nuclear preparations and readies its missile defense systems, including the Pradyumna Ballistic Missile Interceptor (PAD) and Ashwin Ballistic Missile Interceptor (AAD). 🕵️♂️🛡️ As a last resort, Pakistan launches a nuclear attack targeting New Delhi and other strategic locations along the India-Pakistan border. India's missile defense systems intercept many of the missiles, but some still reach their targets. ☢️💥 In retaliation, India launches a devastating nuclear counterattack, targeting Pakistan's major cities and military installations. Pakistan's leadership is wiped out, and its nuclear launch sites are destroyed. 😠💀 The nuclear exchange leaves both countries devastated, with millions of casualties and widespread destruction. India, though severely impacted, retains more of its command structure and military capabilities. 🏴☠️🤐 In the aftermath, India focuses on securing Kashmir, reinforcing its defenses against China, and managing the diplomatic consequences of the nuclear war. 🔒💼

Tales of the Aurora Borealis
Who knew a solar storm could be so beautiful? Purples, reds, and greens shimmering in our skies like dancing ribbons. Hypnotic and enchanting, the Northern Lights have had us humans in complete awe for centuries. Which got me thinking, what did our ancestors think of the Aurora Borealis?
