Patton: A Genius for War
Bryan H
29 Jan 2012

So it’s that wonderful time of the year. Time to clean things off the back burner, so here are a few lingering book reviews: Bomber County by Daniel Swift–I kind of loved this book. Most of the WW2 books I have will get recycled in some way, either by giving them to friends or reselling ...

Down in DC to visit the Spy Museum today, and I have to admit it was pretty cool. I’d been resisting a visit to this place, mostly because it is a pay museum in a city full of free offerings. Gotta love all those Smithsonians. There were more than few WW2 entries ...

This weekend, I spent a fair amount of time clearing out space on my hard drive. That process always leads to unusual discoveries, including this. I do not remember anything about the context of this image, except that I DLed it as a PDF and converted to a JPG for presentation here. It did ...

I recently finished up a three week trip by car across the US visiting National Parks. It was an _amazing_ experience seeing Mesa Verde, Zion, Arches and Moab, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Mt. Rushmore. Plus I had some time in-between to rest/refit at my parents place in northern Utah, where, it turns out, ...

This post is a little late (as in May 31) and it is partly in due to the many notes I’ve seen in my Facebook news feed about remembrance on Memorial Day. I think I made one, too. And this morning, I saw a comment associated with a post about John Basilone on ...
