Ground Hog Day - The Conspiracies

I read an excellent article at Dime Brothers today on the five conspiracies of Ground Hog Day.

Groundhog Day is a fun little adventure that kind of sneaks up on us every year. And I’m beginning to see why. Everything about Punxsutawney Phil reeks of a conspiracy, from the spelling of the town’s name to the celebration to the permeation of lies into our shared scientific heritage. I’m sick of these lies—sick of ‘em! I better share this insider information with you before “the man” puts me in my place.

[...]

The writer then goes to explain the five conspiracies… It’s a fun read!  So if you want to take a break from the harsh political battles here at SA, then head on over to Dime Brothers and get a good chuckle.

Then there was the Dixie Chick fan who thought that Ground Hog Day was a tribute to pork sausage!

Thanks, Pilgrim; I just found the story.  I want to make sure that you know that the writer Paul (Paul N.) is not this Paul (Paulie B).

“Hope is not a method.” - Common Military Saying

The above is a statement of pro activity.  If any Soldier were to tell me that he hoped what he was briefing was going to come to fruition, that would be unacceptable.  We in the Army do not have the luxury to ‘hope’ that things will end well.  Hope will get us killed.  Instead, we must plan and take action.  Hope is not a method.

As a leader I can never ‘hope’ that my Soldiers have the proper training.  I can never ‘hope’ that my Soldiers have the proper logistical supplies.  I can never ‘hope’ that my Soldiers will survive the next mission.  Hope is not a method; I live in the real world.
