Zoomed by a Satellite- February 22, 2008 We have been seeing the news reports of how the Navy performed a wonderful feat, by destroying a disabled spy satellite with a missile shot from the USS Lake Erie. If our troops did that, they deserve a "high five". I support our troops. Its a shame that the civilian part of the government casts such a large shadow of incredibility that it touches on our guys and gals in the trenches. Maybe I've been watching too much TV, but I am skeptical of anything that our current government tells us....http://www.delawoffice.com/2008/02/zoomed-by-satellite.html Adventures of a New Homeowner- February 13, 2008 Last month I went to settlement on my first home. It was not a brand new house of my dreams, but rather an older home with tons of potential. Now it is up to me to take it from home with potential to home of my dreams. Perhaps I am being overly optimistic, but I think I can do it. However, every time I look at my little castle, all I can see is a list of things to be done. This is the tale of the first item on the listdealing with the old paneling that is EVERYWHERE in my house. I...http://www.delawoffice.com/2008/02/adventures-of-new-homeowner.html Old Documents - With Current Relevance- February 12, 2008 Inspired by reading a News Journal article this morning, about the oldest documents in the State Archives (letters and such of a Swedish settler, also bearing signatures of Governor Printz), I dug into the back of the vault to pull out some of my most favorite reading materials. I have several old books from the colonial period, bearing owner signatures of historical significance. Last year I tried to donate them the the University of Delaware Library because I saw what a nice facility they...http://www.delawoffice.com/2008/02/inspired-by-reading-news-journal.html $100 Reward! -- Anybody But Brady- February 8, 2008 I don't usually get involved in politics, mostly because it disgusts me. But once in a while I get spurred to speak, like now. I noticed in today's News Journal that John F Brady has announced his candidacy for Insurance Commissioner. Oh my gosh. Please no. My personal opinion, from having directly observed his behaviour and work product, is that he is not fit for the public service. I was duly unimpressed with his professionalism, ethics, and the quality of his work. So with concern and a...http://www.delawoffice.com/2008/02/anybody-but-brady.html Government Crook Steals Millions In TimeWarner Fraud- February 6, 2008 According to the News Journal this morning, Anthony J Lofink plead guilty to stealing millions from Delaware's unclaimed property account (called escheat), largely by use of fraudulent documents involving the TimeWarner merger. Lofink is shown here (on the right) leaving the federal courthouse in clothing bought with stolen funds.
