My Two Walks of Arlington Cemetary

 The first time I ever walked through Arlington....we had a senior NCO of the organization who'd died of cancer (went from office-work to a hospital setting) and was dead about four months later.  This was in the DC region.

Arlington was his choice to be buried.  His problem (not really his after the death)?  To get on their schedule for a service, it takes 6 months.  

So we waited in the organization, and the day of the funeral came up.  We left the office and took the Metro over, and met at the chapel.  

It was probably one of the most impressive days out that I had in DC in that 3.5 year period. A ceremony concluded, and we walked with the casket for about three-quarters of a mile....on a damn-hot day (easily 94 degrees, with 75-percent humidity).  By the time it concluded....mid-afternoon....I was in a heat-distressed situation.  I made my way to a soda-machine and drank a bottle of water and then a Pepsi.

About two months later....I decided to spend eight hours over at the cemetery.  It is a unique place and you simply are amazed at the history laid out.  

My general advice?  Don't attempt to park there....park way on the south side of Arlington, along the Metro, and take the rail over to the cemetery.  Bring along a minimum of 1-liter of beverage.  I'd suggest a combo of Gatorade and water.  Spring or fall months would be recommended.  After you conclude this....if you still have an hour left....walk over the river to the Lincoln Memorial, and conclude near the WW II Memorial. Then ride the Metro back.  If you don't have energy or have a hip problem....forget about it.  It's a challenge but worth it.

Odds of a Biden Impeachment Hearing?

 Six months ago, I would have said 10-percent chance.  

Today?  Prior to December, I give it now a 60-percent chance that the House will have a hearing....recommend at least three charges, and send it to the Senate.  

Two-thirds of the Senate would have to convict.  I don't see that number presently existing.  However, there is this odd business that no one really wants Biden to be the 'runner' in the 2024 primary.  There's just zero interest in giving him four additional years. 

Adding to this....no one wants VP Harris as President for 12 months while we play 'primary'.

So I'll add this little thought.....all of this BS that has occurred....can't have been missed by the FSB (Putin's people....the former KGB).  I'm guessing a dozen audio recordings exist of Joe making a 'deal', and if Putin handed them over....the Senate Democrats would have a long-term problem in not convicting Joe Biden.  

How this script would occur?  As Tucker Carlson interviews Putin....this topic will occur, and I'm guessing the conversations will be mentioned....in a funny way.  

Joe Biden then defending his 'deal'?  I would imagine that he'll say that was not how he worded some arrangement with the Chinese or Ukrainians, while Putin's recording will flat-out show him as a liar.  

At that point....you can fold up the chairs and anticipate the impeachment has only one single outcome, and VP Harris just grinning. 

Weird?  Yeah....it's just a weird thing.  And Hunter?  Well.....whatever cash he has left at that point....with his paintings....is 'it'.  He'll be broke in twelve to twenty-four months.
