Good to know that you are still around. ;)

Wear your cammo 24/7 and make sure you are packing whenever you step off the front step. No, I take that back. Stay away from the front step. Exit and enter the house from the back door only. Change your numbers on the house and the mailbox. Get remote start for the vehicles. Move the boat to a different harbor and repaint it and the vehicles a different color. Change hats more often but whatever you do keep writing those great books for us anxious readers.
Stay safe
Marktwain, thanks for posting this.
Travis - thank you for your service, your Patriotism, FRiendship, and continuing, unswerving dedication to the cause of American Liberty.
You’ve “made a difference” in many lives whether you know it or not.
God bless ya, brother.
LFOD.
Great post! Thanks
Rock’n roll.... keep up the good fight.

He writes pretty well too : )
I guess there is no controversy in honoring one of our best.
Less than 100 posts on a tribute to Matt Bracken, our own Travis McGee?
I thought I would get a few more “I remember when Travis wrote” posts.
I can’t kick this one along. My arm is broken already from patting my back.
A coal mine canary isn’t much use if he’s hiding in a safe place.
Almost weekly there are threads from many different sources theorizing how the sudden and widespread collapse of America will happen and what will happen when it does. Some are great. Some are moon battery. But among the best ever is one of Matt's. I've bookmarked it and refer to it frequently:
When The Music Stops – How America’s Cities May Explode In Violence

In response to recent articles in mainstream military journals discussing the use of the U.S. Army to quell insurrections on American soil, I offer an alternate vision of the future. Instead of a small town in the South as the flash point, picture instead a score of U.S. cities in the thrall of riots greater than those experienced in Los Angeles in 1965 (Watts), multiple cities in 1968 (MLK assassination), and Los Angeles again in 1992 (Rodney King). New Yorkers can imagine the 1977 blackout looting or the 1991 Crown Heights disturbance. In fact, the proximate spark of the next round of major riots in America could be any from a long list cribbed from our history.
We have seen them all before, and we shall see them all again as history rhymes along regardless of the century or the generation of humankind nominally in control of events. But the next time we are visited by widespread, large-scale urban riots, a dangerous new escalation may be triggered by a new vulnerability: It’s estimated that the average American home has less than two weeks of food on hand. In poor minority areas, it may be much less. What if a cascading economic crisis, even a temporary one, leads to millions of EBT (electronic benefit transfer) cards flashing nothing but zeroes? Or if the government’s refusal to reimburse them causes supermarket chains to stop accepting them for payment? The government can order the supermarkets to honor the cards, but history’s verdict is clear: If suppliers are paid only with worthless scrip or blinking digits, the food will stop.
STEP ONE: FLASH MOB LOOTING
More. Much more...
I own his trilogy and his latest.
Excellent reads, all.
Hi! Good to see you.
The praise was well deserved.
You have many fans here.
” I thought I would get a few more “I remember when Travis wrote” posts.”
