I need some assistance.
I believe that the saying;
“Onto every parade, some rain must fall.”
Was created ‘whole cloth’, by me.
I’ve attempted to look it up, and all I can find is Longfellow’s
Rainy Day:
“Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.”
I also have found the phrase ‘Rain on your parade’.
My lovely bride claims she has heard it before. It’s just too pithy to be my creation…🤨
@tomshillue Jamie Lissow is coming to Virginia Beach July 17-18. Wish you'd make a trip in July. Bring the gang.
“Countdown”
To ‘Kharg Island’
How long until Delta Force or Marine Raiders take this island?
I believe they will grab it within 72 hours.
Why Kharg Island;
Kharg Island serves as the central hub for Iran’s crude oil exports, handling approximately 90% (and in some estimates up to 95%) of the country’s oil shipments. Oil from Iran’s onshore and offshore fields is piped to the island, stored in massive tanks, and loaded onto supertankers for export, mainly to markets in Asia (especially China). The island’s facilities have a loading capacity of around 7 million barrels per day.
This makes Kharg Iran’s economic lifeline:
• It generates tens of billions in annual revenue, funding much of the government’s budget and military (including the Revolutionary Guard).
• Iran’s shallow coastal waters prevent large tankers from loading directly onshore, so Kharg’s deep-water berths are essential.
• Disruption here could severely cripple Iran’s economy, halt most oil exports,...
