high rise cottage

Cerpicio's family has a cottage and they are protecting it from the hundred-year flood, by raising it. He mentioned that it is lifted six feet off the ground and will be raised and finished in two weeks. That's cool!

Hey! Get pictures!

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. ix

The UFOs, as it turns out, are aircraft flooding the area over the blacked-out Iraq/Iran. They position themselves over the area, preparing for a massive assault. Two large missiles have been fired at a level of 30 feet, skimming over the ground to their targets. The payload is thermonuclear.

In the last moments before, Kherramabad disappeared, small blips of power were becoming available in pockets of Iran. Singular phone calls were placed, catching up on lost news … allaying worries of death and sickness, everything was just fine.

[deafening silence]

Missile two strikes near the Iraq – Iran border; people, roads, mine fields, military all disappear without voices. Communication is still blacked out, but a mushroom cloud is impossible to hide. Clearly, this is no act of God – it is an attack.

US and British intelligence leak that a large cache of nuclear material was activated, causing the border explosion, while the second explosion is credited to Iran’s hasty development of nuclear weapons. Iran and Iraq cannot offer any story, as they are still blacked out.

Paula - Dan (could be PK Dojo)

Paula, it appears -- now reaching her black belt first degree can become an instructor if she so chooses. Paula and Cerpicio had a celebration for her achievement, in which I botched the time, arriving well after everyone had left. Sorry I put a dent in the evening, but that movie we saw needed lots of viewers to assure you that you weren't missing something, but rather that it was foul!

Anyway, the belt, bearing her name is neat, with a bar on the side indicating her degree (1st). She mentioned that there are stages to get to the each degree, a number of years roughly equivilent to the ranking of degree, so that the 2nd degree takes 2 years, 3rd three and so on. Therefore, a person who has a 9th degree is likely an older person, yes?

I hope that she does with it what she wants. Sometime I would like to see her work. Cerpicio was not enchanted by the prospect of her demonstrating on him.
