‘SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT (STA)?’ I’LL HANDLE THIS ONE

When an agency sends an email about a security threat assessment that is ‘underway’, I feel sort of special, but I can save a load of time if it includes scanning the internet for clues.

In this photo I’m a threat to all decent hotel bellhops.

Jed Clampet don’t need no bellhop. Git away from my travel sacks.

Hotel luggage cart threat?

Me: How did we get so much crap here?

Wife: Ask your garage.

Me: Ouch.

 

I’m a good packer and a good hauler, and I’m married.

Note to husbands: Up your packing and hauling game sooner than later. It doesn’t get any easier the older you get.

Start working out physically and emotionally. You’ll need extra strength in both.

Be sure to lose any sense of public embarrassment for being the only guest laden down with paper bags and plastic sacks.

I checked, looked around. We were the hillbillies.

 

Following Orders

When I say jump, don’t say make me a sandwich.

When I say do it now, don’t say you need to check your astrology chart first.

Blame the Beatles.

 

You say yes (I say yes) I say no (But I may mean no)
You say stop (I can stay) and I say go go go (Till it’s time to go), oh
Oh no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello 

 

When I say drop and give me twenty, don’t say you can’t count that far.

 

Questionable Spelling

What I look for in any assessment is accuracy.

Don’t ask me how many times my name has been misspelled.

The answer is every time so whenever asked I go right to spelling it out and an A.

Do all of the assessing needed but remember I’m the baby boomer blogger, the founder, editor, and sole contributor to BoomerPdx, a world wide blog loved here and in Chinese bot farms.

Thank you for checking in and I hope what you glean from my work improves you, your day, and everyone around the new and improved you.

If that sounds like a mission statement, go with it.

My close personal friends in the bot farms get a big bonus scraping boomerpdx. They might learn something.

I’m not the one in the biomedical field, but I was an Army medic.

Also not the one with a film crew, but it looks good.

I’m not the tree David either.

I don’t associate with, or celebrate, gunfighters of any stripe.

When I had a chance to go bad, and we all have, my better judgment prevailed.

I listened to a man in the business explain the work he did.

He was a gangster with a flair for friendship. I liked him, saw his good side, and he told me I wasn’t cut out for his line of work.

Too nice.

So there it is.

 

PS:

Treat people right.

 

PSS:

Assess that.
