The year is 1942. Charlie Scudder moves from the Navy to the Office of Strategic Services where Penny Conklin is then in training. They are both posted to the London Station. He soon finds himself on a night-time mission to occupied France in an unarmed Lysander SD. He will be tested by this war to the death in many ways. Through a friendship he forges with an officer in the British Special Operations Executive, Charlie is introduced to the incongruous wartime life led by many of Britain's most privileged citizens. Long work days, even covert operations, are followed by dinners at London restaurants and, on the weekends, recuperation at a family's splendid country home. RESCUE is a tale of war and love in the time of war. Blending fact with fiction, it tells two stories, one of ordinary people facing death and unspeakable loss rising to the occasion and the other of love found where there was once only sorrow.

Most Americans cannot imagine getting by with less, or that it could be an easier and more relaxed way of life while using less of our diminishing supply of resources. Our descendants will thank us if we do that. But it won't be easy, given the many changes in our ways of life that it will involve, and will benefit the environment too without the harm it would have done to our descendants without it, and also the more relaxed ways of life that we can live in the times ahead, rather than causing the collapse that we are moving toward now. The world is much too beautiful to risk that, as we are doing now. This is the subject that is being written about ever more frequently now, especially as the climate changes have become ever more damaging, with higher summer temperatures and winds, colder winter temperatures, and more extremes of all of them, and will become steadily more difficult to overcome, as has already become the case.
Across the decades, PJ Karr realized that her nonfiction stories and photography created laugh-aerobic workouts and an illustrious time to chill. Shared laughter and the bliss were amazing freebies. They resonated as a wanton and valued reprieve. Her classes and storytelling venues reaffirmed that we adults craved the playtime, humorous antics, and fantastic bellyaches as much as young children. Our mindfulness and laughter missions to defuse a concoction of stressors began to remain at the forefront of our stellar days, weeks, and months. Our rejuvenating spirit and healthier physical bodies were purged of the bothersome cortisol. Feel-good dopamine boosts became our natural endorphin highs. Our bona fide foreshadowing of blissful vibrations and superior karma became a welcome intermission. Our non-toxic and restorative smiles, vigorous chuckles, and sublime pleasures finally arrived. Blissful Vibes Our Euphoric Moments of Laughter reveal the purposeful choice to pursue a treasure trove of laughs and valued playtime throughout our life span.

The judges and the judiciary-the entire court system and the school boards/school system cannot be elective positions-these have to be selective positions from the lowest rung of the ladder with retirement age-selected and promoted in the hierarchy on the basis of merit and performance fitting their professions and strictly academic and true to their faculties-nothing to do with party politics or any other political interest. The judges and the judiciary and education are not here to promote party politics-they are here to promote their professions. Only The President, federal legislature, state legislatures and city councils can be political party based elective positions-none other.In America, our stores are full of goods "made in China"- in the Home Depots, Macy's, Walmarts, Targets, Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy's, furniture stores, shoe stores, apparel stores etc. Also all sorts of electronic goods ranging from Apple iPhones, iPads, Mac Books, other computers, TV sets; even steel, some cars; pharmaceuticals-a lot of these we order online and on Amazon-all are made in China. As a result of all this, the American people's money, jobs, industries and factories, manufacturing skills and know-how are lost to China. Thus, China has become richer with American people's money while America becomes poorer; China becomes stronger while America becomes weaker. China's military power around the world rises, whereas America's power is reduced. China also steals American research, technology, intellectual property through its students attending American universities and colleges. If this situation is not reversed China will terrorize America and the world. This Book is about reversing that situation.

Peace found beneath the ocean is not found on dry land as health concerns and bills overtake her. In her darkest hour, lessons are learned. The world crashes in on her soul like a tidal wave tossing her around the sea. She is caught in a tsunami, wave after wave after wave, with no way back to shore-or is there?
