Boeing is one the world’s greatest aircraft manufacturers. Their inventions are stunning and could lead to who knows what innovations in our future. The following two articles are worth reading/watching if you have any ‘tech’ interest at all. Exciting stuff.
(You’ve got to watch this video!)
The future of UAV’s?!
I can’t imagine where this is all heading..!? Exciting though!

America at one time had a compass — and people watched it! It was called the bible! America was founded on Christian/biblical principles which we stood by for hundreds of years until the 50’s (regardless of what the president says). Then we grew up. We knew better. We no longer needed any bible — we’re capable of determining our own destiny by following our own ‘rules’..!!?
Well, look where it’s gotten us..?!
Now we hear about Christians being killed in the middle east — and Oregon!! But it couldn’t get worse, right?
You probably shouldn’t ask, but imagine where we’re headed..?
America, you’d better wake up and start fighting back… FAST!!

The world has been using fossil fuels for millions of years to heat their homes and power machinery. One of the best ‘engines’ of today is the nuclear reactor. However, there’s a new source of energy on the horizon — thorium fueled reactors.
Imagine a fuel source that is less expensive, safer, creates no environment hostile gases, etc. and there is a limitless supply of it. Why heck, the Iranians could shut down their operations creating ‘nuclear energy’.!!? :-)
Watch this video on what it is, how it works, and its potential for the world. It would be great to think we could have these in just a few years, but then we’d have to get around politicians, bureaucrats, and greedy capitalists..!?
For information on this topic, do a search in YouTube.com using the words ‘Thorium Reactors’ in the search box. You will learn more on this subject. Such as this solution has been around since the 60’s!! What was I saying.?!

Listen to the news and they’ll tell you, “Everything’s going to be OK.” Yet, the numbers don’t match up. Here’s just a snippet of information you probably haven’t heard.
Caterpillar announced that it was going to lay off 4,000 to 5,000 people this year. That number could reach 10,000 by the end of 2016, and the company may close more than 20 plants. Layoffs are nothing new at Caterpillar—the company has reduced its total workforce by 31,000 workers since 2012.
The problem is lousy sales. Caterpillar just told Wall Street to lower its revenues forecast for 2016 by $1 billion.
$1 billion!
How bad does the future have to look for a company to suddenly decide that it is going to lose $1 billion in sales?
“We are facing a convergence of challenging marketplace conditions in key regions and industry sectors, namely in mining and energy,” said Doug Oberhelman, Caterpillar chairman and CEO.
Like the layoffs, vanishing sales are nothing new. 2015 is the third year in a row of shrinking sales, and 2016 will be the fourth.
So, how’s that recovery working for you?

The McQueeney Volunteer fire department will be hosting its annual fund raiser golf tournament at the Bandit golf course located five miles outside of New Braunfels, Texas on November 14th at 11:00 am.
Each player will have ‘5’ opportunities for a hole-in-one and to win prizes! The least of which is a new set of Nike irons. One of the par-3 holes will have a cash prize of $10,000!! And the signature shot of the day will have a prize of $1,000,000!!
Everyone is invited to play and to help fund the buying of equipment for the operation of our department. Other than a small amount of money via government funding, we depend on gracious donations by the public to maintain our services.
Please join us in a fun day of golf, food along the way, and dinner at the end of the tournament. The flyer for this tournament is below along with the sign-up registration form.

And the beat goes on… One incident after another, the same garbage is repeated, “Take the guns away from ‘everyone’ and we’ll be safe.” Response: BS
These incidents are being used as a tool to take guns away from the American public and to disarm the public in general. Given that scenario, what would we have? The foundation for a dictatorship. i.e., Germany 1930’s where thousands of people were killed by their own government.
The following video depicts the left and right’s views on the solutions. Once again, common sense seems to have, at best, an equal value in today’s society. Scary indeed.
I often wonder if we will ‘ever’ wake up??

An entertaining and thoughtful video. It reveals two views — one of ‘change’ and the other of democracy… the American way.
You tell ’em Joe.
The bible states that in the ‘end times’ we will see religions turn from what God dictates in the bible and make up their own rules. That is becoming more obvious daily.
The following information comes from Pew Research. Hard to believe… sort of.
Fact Tank: Key Findings About American Catholics
Fact Tank: 45% of Americans Have a Connection to Catholicism
Fact Tank: Who Are ‘Cultural Catholics’?
We hear a great deal about how ‘we are recovering’ from the media. However, what we don’t hear is ‘how‘ we are recovering. You talk to your friends and everyone says things are tough out there. Yet jobs are created monthly. How is that possible?
Watch the following brief video to learn where all of those jobs and salaries are going. Many people today haven’t seen a raise in 6-10 years (i.e., IBM). We’re told the cost of living is almost flat. Yet groceries are getting more expensive..? Getting by is getting more difficult. This video may explain what’s going on that you don’t know now.
If that doesn’t frost you, nothing will…

Police today get very little recognition for when they do something ‘good’. But if we think they did something wrong, watch out — it’s butt kicking time… again. (If they’re lucky.)
The following poem is dedicated to those who put it all out there for the people who sometimes love them, and all too often hate them. Their reward is typically not here on earth, but later.
The officer stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
Step forward now officer,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?’
The officer squared his shoulders and said,
“No Lord, I guess I haven’t.”
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can’t always be a saint.
I’ve had to work most Sundays,
At times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I’ve been violent,
Because the world is rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn’t mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes God forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears.
I know I don’t deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fear.
If you’ve a place for me here Lord,
It needn’t be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the officer waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
“Step forward now you officer,
You’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in Hell.”
