Sully,
You can blame your lack of snow this year on La Nina and the Arctic oscillation, which are keeping the cold and snow northward. Cordova, Alaska has had 18 FEET of snow already. The temperature here has been warmer than usual, but it’s zero now, and there’s more snow predicted for tonight.

Thank you mucho for YOUR welcome and always anticipated comments, compadre. Eleven more forensic unplugs and I just might have another e-book’s-worth.

Thank you for opening my comments. I check the comments-on box every time, but the comments always remain closed.

Here’s hoping you get some real snow really soon. The Sun has been on its way northward for almost a month now.

Vascular tech. Yeesh! Don’t they know that vampires have had this capability since Vlad Tepesh? [sp?] Amazing, Amalgam. And you’re amazing. What a fascinating advance in ID. Looks like you will soon need Volume 2 of your ebook — FORENSICS 101 — now available on Amazon. I give you a triple A writing. Amazon’s Amazing Amalgam!

Truly fascinating. I don’t believe there is an adequate answer to the matter of sentencing and the concept of justice in this — and perhaps a great many — trials. No doubt this is why philosophically and theologically we tend to push judgment down the road. But I do think there have to be priorities based on security and fundamental goals of “civilization.” You know where I’m going with this, don’t you? The public must be protected first. Very tricky — and potentially — slippery slope. Nonetheless, a person with such a gene who has demonstrated a lethal loss of control should not have the opportunity to do so again in my opinion. Just how that containment should be exercised I leave as another subject. Thanks, Amalgam. Another winner, informative and thought provoking as always.

Sharp eye as usual, amigo. As of my last look-see, the question of self-incrimination for brain fingerprinting had not been answered. Regarding the two described cases, Grinder agreed to take the test, and Harrington desperately requested it. In view of Grinder having been court-ordered to take a blood test, one might assume that a court could order a brain fingerprinting test.

Thank you much for nudging my e-book for Christmas gifts. Being able to send it at the click of a key might have appeal to really last minute shoppers with no idea of what to get and little time left to get it.

Danke sehr, mon ami.

Seems like a simple, and possibly inconclusive, exam with profound implications. Certainly the absence of electrical activity could weigh-in toward innocence, but even if no legal eagle took apart the significance of electrical responses and the possibility that they might occur from some other cause or even fear of self-implication, one wonders if the right against self-incrimination renders this moot as a prosecutorial tool. I guess you’re saying that, after a fashion. This one is as ripe as they come among subjects that can stimulate variations for short story plots. And with your grasp of facts and nuances I’m thinking you should be writing some of these stories yourself, Amalgam. Hope any Christmas shoppers looking for a great stocking-stuffer to give a writer, published or otherwise, take note of your low-priced e-book from Crossroad Press and available at Amazon.com and elsewhere. FORENSICS 101 is the title, for anyone interested. It’s a compendium of these great Robert Jones articles we’ve been reading for years now. Now that’s an inspired gift!

Sully,
Sully,
As always, your comments have been received with much gratitude.
After all the research, I’m left with the question as to whether or not anyone but family members ever called Al Snorkey while he was at the peak of his career.

I also was a fan of Bill Stern’s broadcasts and am also a fan of OTR. I seem to recall that you–as do I–have a few tapes of OTR.

When I leased my Ford Fusion, it came with a few weeks of free Sirius radio. I enjoyed some OTR and book readings, but the $116 annual fee seemed not to be worth it.

Your supporting comments have instilled an urge to perhaps pen another essay. Let me see, there was this duck and a rope….

Carole,
…and what an engaging comment. Thank you for your kind words. As I’m sure you know, such are what make all the late-night research worthwhile.

What an engaging story! They always are, Bob, but this one fits the time of year perfectly. You have a great way of sharing when it comes to history. I can always see what you’re talking about so clearly. That’s a gift.

Oh, this has got to be one of your most fascinating – which clears a very high bar for excellence! How do you do it? There are so many compelling trivia bits here that you could turn this into a board game. Board but never spelled bored, if it comes from the meticulous research and eminently readable style of one Amalgam, a.k.a. Robert C Jones. You know, here’s a bit of trivia for you. There used to be an OTR (Old-Time Radio show) called Bill Stern’s Sports Newsreel, I think – I’m a fan of this stuff and listen to shows on Sirius radio. The idea was that Stern pitched a kind of Paul Harvey story narration of sports legends, only Stern unabashedly mixed in fictions and embellishments. They were always fascinating. Your incontestable histories are like Bill Stern’s only the reader knows it is all as gospel as gospel gets. I’m going to wake up screaming tonight, imagining Andrew Jackson trotting to the outhouse on the White House lawn mid-winter…

Where do I get all this stuff? From the Space Junk Catalog, of course.

I tried to reply yesterday, but my modem’s energy converter went North. I got and installed a new modem this morning.

Superb, Exquisite and Fascinating? You have again broken that rule of not saying anything at all if you can’t say anything good.

Muchas gracias, mein Herr
