Silicon Thins 4 Soldiers (no, it’s not a cigarette!)
I have written before how the US Armed Forces are concerned about power needs on the battlefield. Today, I will discuss efforts going on in Australia- using solar technology developed and manufactured by a US firm- Transform Solar (Boise, Idaho)- in concert with Origin Energy, an Australian firm.

OK. I’m game…Are you?
Our economy is not in the doldrums- that would be an improvement. And, the problem is that it’s not just us (the US)- there’s Europe, too.

We got a 911. Why do we treat it like a 311 or 511? I want the 411!
Have we learned anything? Are we better off?
Yes, it’s a decade since “9-11”. We have engaged in at least three wars- Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. And, we are still engaged in those same three wars.

We were ready for terror before. Why not now?
We think we live in modern times, with modern military dilemnae. I agree in principle that the concept of a nuclear bomb is clearly different than being besieged by fiery arrows. Especially, since those arrows were only dispensed one at a time, albeit by many soldiers simultaneously. But, what was the reaction when that first cannonball was fired- and you only had fiery arrows?

You can’t make this up!
After I posted my August Tax hints, a PNC (potential new client) called us up with this query. (Please note I have changed certain facts in case you know the person or the issue. The substance is correct.)

No working on Labor Day. I guess that’s why I got this award a SECOND time.
OK. I know it’s Labor Day and I usually don’t publish on holidays. But, I’ve been remiss- several folks have awarded me the Versatile Blogger award. And, since I was already awarded this some 6 months ago, I wondered how I should respond. Well, wonder no longer.
