Salvage One

1 min read

Just re-watched this TV movie the other night on You Tube. I hope folks remember it. It's the one staring Andy Griffith as a Junk Yard owner who wanted to build a spaceship, go to the moon and salvage all the gear left up there.

I won't say how the movie ends in case someone hasn't seen it.

What I want to know is this: Does anyone know what ever became of the Vulture? The ship. Does it survive somewhere or was the full scale mock-up torn apart when the series ended?

I f anyone knows, I hope you'll tell me.

Harry, this is Vulture 1. We're coming home. Over.

PDF Problem

1 min read

With the last PDF file I posted, I couldn't help notice a change in the reader presentation. There's a side bar that wasn't there before. Does anyone know how to shut it off so it doesn't keep showing up everytime I click on the file?

DA's submission mess

1 min read

Once again, DA's submission process is messed up. Once again, it thinks that PDF files are videos! Thus preventing me from uploading any 'Dickess' stories at this time.

Is anyone else having this problem?

PDF Mess

1 min read

Does anyone know what's going on with the site? I've tried to up-load my next "Dickess" story in my regular PDF format- same format I've used all along- and the stupid site thinks it's a video file and won't take it.

Sci-fi turns real by mdbruffy, journal

Sci-fi turns real

Apr 26, 2020

Way back when I wrote a story that resulted in Yaska Dickess being shot in the back, his spinal cord was severed- he couldn't walk. The answer I came up with was a "Spinal junction box" that served as a bridge between the remaining nerves. Today, I read an article about a process that sounds a lot like this- and it works.Yaska's story: The real story can be found here:https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/brain-implant-and-signal-decoder-reversed-paralysis

Re-introducing a statement

Apr 25, 2020

IDIC by @mdbruffy, Mar 18, 2016, 7:51:44 PM Journals / Personal The following is an opinion- MY opinion. I don't expect everyone to agree with me- in fact, I'm certain that some will not. But the Freedom of Speech is a guaranteed right in this country and it's a right I will exercise till the day I die... There are those in this country that are trying to ignore certain facts about this country. They are trying to ignore the fact that the American Indians shared their food with those British Puritans that first winter they spent on this continent- ignoring the fact that they would have died without that help. ...

Thoughts on Flag and Country by @mdbruffy, Jun 30, 2011, 7:05:06 PM Journals / Personal In the six years I've been here at DeviantArt, I've never written anything in this journal- never felt the need or had anything I felt was worth the time and effort- until now. For those of you that don't know, I live in the United States of America- the State of West Virginia to be exact. Which means, that- for us- next Monday is the Fourth of July- our Independence Day. With that in mind, I got to thinking about some things and decided to write them down. They might not seem important to everyone- if not, that's fine. I hope t...

Need Help or recommendations

Feb 12, 2020

The next 4 stories in Arrow's series call for several dogs- malamutes like Samantha is supposed to be. At the time I introduced Sammie, I was forced to fall back on the Wolf 2.0 figure from Daz Studio which uses what's called "Dynamic hair". This hair slows Poser's rendering process a great deal. Trying to use two or more of these as base figures- even if I could get the textures right- would slow Poser to a crawl or crash it completely. So does anyone know where I can find a malamute figure that I can use? I need one that will work in Poser Pro. Renderosity, Daz and Hivewire are all no-go. I've considered searching the internet for png i...

Tyranny and truth: A Representation

Dec 6, 2019

I feel that this journal- originally posted January 12, 2012- has more relevance today than ever, so I'm re-posting it: Tyranny and Truth by @mdbruffy, Jan 25, 2012, 2:16:25 PM Journals / Personal It's a fact that Tyranny and Truth have always been on opposite sides. That's because Tyranny can not exist in the face of Truth. Unjust governments throughout history have fallen to revolution brought about by the revelation of truth. Tyrants are afraid of Truth- it's fatal to them and their rule. As such, they try to avoid it- bury it, burn it- and in this day and age, shut it down or delete it. But like the Cattle Baro...
