Bosch - Coming Soon

-
Image
Now for some great news, the next season of Bosch debuts April 17th on Amazon Prime. If you are familiar with the show, you know it's worth the cost of Amazon Prime itself. Harry Bosch is an LAPD detective played by Titus Welliver.  He's military vet who has a lot of years on the streets of LA.  He's partnered with the junior detective Jerry Edgar well played by Jamie Hector. This is modern noir at its best.  From the moody music to the excellent cinematography to the superb acting, LA comes alive in both the glitter and the crud which makes it such a unique city.  They don't air brush the worst of humanity out, while being honest with the best. It's not the greatest as a procedural, but, as a writing professor once told me, "Don't let the truth get in the way of a great story." If you haven't kept up on the show, you have one of the best binge sessions you'll ever have ahead of you.

Here is a link of the David Harris Jr show interviewing Gary Heavin , a health care expert.  It's long at an hour, but I won't bury the lead:  he said this could be worse than the Spanish Flu due to the incubati...

People You Should Know: Sgt Robert Hughes, USMC

Good afternoon, What will follow is a cut & paste from Battlesight Zero.  It's a story about Sgt Robert Hughes, USMC. In a world of glorified pansies and "toxic masculinity", it's important we honor the real men, those who should be household names but only attain notoriety in their small circles because "someone may be offended" or, worse, but true, it doesn't fit the agenda. Imagine a world of Robert Hughes being pervasive throughout our society - what the selfless courage, determination, and will to prevail would mean for a country where that was the heroic standard, not how many times you can make a rubber ball go through a hoop. Anyway, on with the first installment of "People You Should Know":       In Vietnam, scuba trained Force Recon Marines conducted combat diving as a collateral duty.  Dive teams supported both the Army and Marines, performing a wide range of missions. Bridge inspections were a common task. Teams als...
