• Virginia City, Flour Sacks, and the Unmarked Grave of Milton Mygatt

  In episode 17 of my podcast, I discuss the 1909 Airship disaster in Redding, California that claimed one life and damaged another. Perhaps you remember my peripheral fascination with the 78 year old man that was trampled in the melee--, and the brief itemization of physical traumas he survived before--and after this one.I went back, simply intending to make a more detailed itemization of my hero-sub-plot--dude.--and discovered that he was a ridiculously-active human being, with his fingers in everything.And he was present during some of the Wests's most formative years.

• A Tribute to Indonesian Graveyards

  My last show was hauntingly prophetic. I had no idea that a historical preservation site in Indonesia--@Indonesia_Graveyard -- was going to become the absolute incarnate definition of what I was talking about.Ruri and Reyhan are the definition of God's messengers. They located a lost burial place--belonging to a man-- for his children on the other side of the world.And changed lives.They deserve their own episode.

• Blood in the Water: The Tale of the USS Indianapolis

  It's 1945, and World War II is about to come to an abrupt end at the hands of an atomic bomb over Hiroshima.The US naval vessel responsible for delivering the radioactive uranium, would make port, and then head for the Philippines--where a Japanese submarine would have the vessel completely submerged in twelve minutes with a brutal complement of torpedoes.This is their story, and an aftermath with an even more cruel end--highlighting the transcendent nature of honor, and the dark responsibility it can heap upon a person.
