Saturday, June 22nd. Local Amateur Radio operators will be representing our community in American Radio Relay League’s annual Field Day. Every June, more than 40,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill and service to our communities and our nation. It combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event.

… and I felt once again, but with unprecedented force, that we die countless times in the course of a life, little deaths that leave us standing there, petrified, surviving, like Robinson Crusoe on the island he didn’t choose, with only our memories to improvise what comes next and no Friday to help us cultivate it.
–From Philippe Lançon’s Disturbance: Surviving Charlie Hebdo (2018).
Jim says
Clarence Thomas is as corrupt as they come. No question.
I spent most of my career working for a company that provided products to the government. As a civilian, my company specifically prohibited all employees from either giving or receiving gifts from our customers or our sub-contractors. I remember three instances over 40 years where an employee was found in violation of that and in all three cases, they were fired and found themselves on the wrong end of a lawsuit. I never thought much about the rule because once it was known, we had to follow it.
Now, a justice on the Supreme Court gets away with having a $278k loan “forgiven” on his high-end RV, gets expensive trips to fancy places for “meetings” and spends time on his “buddies” luxury yachts sailing around foreign countries. All of this is acceptable according the Supreme Court and the Republicans in Congress who would howl like a wolf if this was a liberal member of the court.
The bottom line is that when all this “dark money” was allowed into the political system, the temptation has been too much for [almost] all politicians and, now unfortunately, those in the judicial system.
I hate to say this but I no longer believe that our political system nor our courts have the moral and ethical standards to be trusted anymore. Until we get rid of all this money flowing through the system, it will not get better. And I do not expect it ever to get better.
