I read somewhere recently that the United States Congress posthumously promoted George Washington to the rank of General of the Armies, and declared him to be permanently the top-ranked military officer in the United States armed forces. That means that if resurrected, he could give orders to anyone in the military, and presumably they would have to follow them. This is an interesting, if useless factoid, because I am reading a Philip K. Dick book about a guy who builds a fake Abraham Lincoln.

On Thursday I started a remote desktop on Adil's machine. The machine is named New Mexico, so I gave the desktop the id of Land of Enchantment. I suddenly became very homesick. So much so that I closed my door and contemplated the place that I grew up for a few minutes.

resurrect a historical leader in hopes of having him command the modern armed forces, eh? it's been attempted before...
