LB, Just got this from my buddy in your neighborhood. Enjoy. uw TODAYS HONOLULU ADVERTISER, Friday the 13th (go figure) $221,000,000.00 for Hawaii bases moves fwd. By Dennis Camire, Advertiser Washington bureau. Hawaii to get one of only 7 Stryker units in US for 25th ID at Schofield. That sounds cool. Here is how some of the money gets spent. 1) 41mil. ‘military only’ dirt road (I used to hunt on w my old 4wd.) 2) 24.7mil. vehicle maint fac. 3) 5.7mil. fire sta. 4) 9.3mil. vehicle wash facility. 5) 2.5mil for F15 ‘rinse’ facility. Ref. The above for my comments below 1) My old Ford Bronco never got stuck on that road, Strykers must suck. 2) Vehicle maint. was battlefield conditions, in the driveway, w wife. 3) We pissed on fires and very last resort was throw a Budweiser at it. 4) I washed maybe once a year, the truck even less. 5) Will not just ‘rinse’, but hand wash and wax all F15s weekly for half that money for a very long time. There’s more but it only gets worse. Jesus, Mary and Joseph where does it end.

Bird Flu Jumps to Pigs Saturday, May 14, 2005 AP Clip... JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesian researchers have found a strain of bird flu in pigs on the densely populated island of Java (search), raising fears the virus could more easily spread to humans in the country, the government and scientists said Saturday. C.A. Midan (search), the scientist who made the discovery, identified the strain found in the pigs as H5N1, which has jumped from chickens to humans elsewhere in Southeast Asia, killing 36 in Vietnam, 12 in Thailand and four from Cambodia (search). Dr. Nana Supriatna (search), an expert staff at the Ministry of Agriculture, confirmed the virus had been found pigs but declined to give any more details. He said officials were meeting Saturday to discuss the development.
