LINCOLN LOG SMC-PREPARE THE PUNJI PIT
Some litigators are recalcitrant to reveal their techniques for getting from A to B. I don’t feel that way. This is a true Do-It-Yourself (DIY) site. I don’t have time to do every claim that comes through the door. If … Continue reading

LZ CORK–THE LAST ROUNDUP
It is with great sorrow I announce the passing of Butch Long early Tuesday morning. He fought the good fight with VA but he succumbed to what we frequently chant- Delay, deny until we die. In the instant case, it … Continue reading

LZ CORK–I’LL SEE YOU AND RAISE
How shall I start this article? It began in 2014 in a little bar in Key Center Washington over a scotch (neat, with a water back). Butch’s daughter, born shortly after he arrived in country in late 68, had been … Continue reading

LZ GRAMBO-THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER

VETERANS DAY 2020

FORT FUMBLE SEATTLE–I HOPE YOU HAD THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE
Today marks the first time I’ve woken up to a yellowish, smoky overcast with no sun since Vietnam. It finally made an anemic showing this PM. The only thing missing was the oily petroleum-like aroma of burnt nape, CS and … Continue reading

FORT PEA GRAVEL–SQUARE BOB CUE PANTS
