Nork Missiles
General Mattis responds here (LINK). If you don’t want to click the link, in a nut shell, the tests have fallen short of threatening the US to date. The North Koreans have carefully avoided doing that so far. Japan has had two overflights and may decide to shoot down one of the North Korean missiles in the future. It’s building the capacity to do so now, working closely with USGOV and contractors to make that happen. The North Koreans would likely take a missile shoot-down as an act of war and would flatten Seoul and kill twenty million civilians. OR NOT, but the US is not rolling the dice. If you give the only fat man in North Korea enough rope, he’ll hang himself. Maybe the Chinese will kill him off by peaceful means? It would be a gift to the people of Korea of great price. Avert a war, feed 23 million starving Norks, and make the world a better place for all but the North Korean elites, who would likely find themselves hanging from a jibbet once the people realized how badly they have been used and how wickedly they were deceived.
The question was raised by S. E., who reads but rarely comments on this blog: “Why hasn’t the US shot down Nork missiles?”

A Note to I-40 Travelers
The Northern Pines restaurant puts out one of the best breakfasts in Flagstaff, AZ – north of the White Wolf Mine. It’s attached to a Day’s Inn, which, under normal circumstances would mean that I’d never eat there (I’m a bit of a hotel snob). HOWEVER, I’ve eaten there many times and it’s simply a great place. Everything on the menu is recommended. Yesterday I had the Meatloaf, smothered in green chili sauce, eggs over medium, etc. They even have a chili verde enchilada breakfast that’s superb. Not everything has chili on it. The cinnamon roll french toast will make your arteries crackle (in a happy way).
Mining
The White Wolf Mine is close to being established as the White Wolf Mineral Exploration and Transportation Company. Don’t hold your breath for a website. It will start as a sole proprietorship and will be incorporated as I incur the potential of liability. If any of you out there are ambitious and want to help a fledgling business, I’m open to print-quality logo ideas.
I get the Mineral Exploration, but what is the Transportation part?
Should baffle the search engines. How many offshore shell companies are involved? Inquiring minds, and all that.
I suggest a White Wolf digging for your logo flickr.com/photos/24580165@N03/14355036876
It can be made unique for you purpose of course, but it will send a message and tell a story.
I don't think I could stand the heat of your I-40 place.
Logo huh … I'd like to attempt that myself.
That has about everything he asked for … LOL.
I added on the advice of tax counsel.
If I was going to use bearer share companies, and as you'd expect, I don't know much about that stuff; I wouldn't tie them into a sole proprietorship in my name.
No female wolf with cubs hanging from her teets…
It does have the white wolf digging in.
Congrats!
The "mineral exploration" part is a nice touch… could be a couple of high dollar grants waiting to be put to use.
The home ranch was incorporated in Nevada, it was close enough for tax work. Is Arizona friendly like that?
Sounds good! But I have to agree with Woodsterman. Sounds a bit hot for me.
The climate is on the chilly side. Average summer temps are in the 70's and average winter temps are in the low 50's (highs). It's in the high mountains.
There are benefits to pursuing business as I envision it. I don't do anything that doesn't turn a healthy profit, and include tax advantages.
LindaG, It's ok if the I-40 food's too hot for you and Woodsterman… lol
If one is a transport company, they have transport means. How many vehicles do you own there LL? As a transportation company, said vehicles are tax deductible along with associated expenses such as gas and maintenance. Slap a logo on the side and it is advertising. With a cool logo, LL, you might make some t-shirts and offer them on the site here.
LL,
As to the logo, simple is better as the digging idea boxes you in where as a wolf by itself allows you to add subsidiaries later without need to change logo. One and done.
My suggestion is a silhouette.
of said white wolf straight on into eye that imply hungry and read to eat those under the gaze.
On the food vein,
Take one standard waffle house waffle apply healthy ladle of chilli season to taste (usually involving enough Cholula or sihracha to effect a significant color change. Bingo breakfast taco.
Anything on a waffle is good.
Ah, you have a rare grasp of the conspirator's mind, Keith. I own three vehicles to transport with.
I heartily recommend the breakfast taco. I invented it at the Goodie House in Charleston, SC
