    5:13 here’s a Jim dandy of an idea: let’s we, as a nation, stop inserting ourselves into every shoving match, bush war and hot spot across the globe. Then we will have significantly fewer lost servicemen to commemorate. I am 1000% for a kick a** military and I’ll even buy portions of the narrative behind the GWOT, but with our borders a worldwide joke it’s super disingenuous-like, criminally disingenuous-to continue “projecting force” anywhere and everywhere in the guise of “national security.” Let’s insist on a return to who we were when we entered WW2 and who we were upon victory 5 years later. To quote Alexis DeToqueville “Americans are great because they are good.” We need to call all hands on deck and return to the true spirit and meaning of that observation. Made over 200 years ago. We can and must do so. I personally believe it’s what nearly all of us want. Before the world stage throws us out and bolts closed the door.

    Hi again. You may know of a street out west of town named Ostermeyer Road. It's name came from a family that lives or lived out there. I don't know if they are still in that area but they are a wonderful family and had been out there for many, many decades. Just an idea because of the history they no doubt have of Galveston.

    Hello. My name is Steve Kelley and I grew up in Galveston. Was born in Corpus in 1956 but raised on the Island. Thank you for this awesome podcast and for all the others here that join in with all of their stories. My dad was a postman and his route was in the center of the historical district during the later 60's to early 70's. Occasionally mom would drop me off for a couple hours so I could walk with dad on his route which was a blast. The only thing I did not enjoy was seeing so many of the older, beautiful homes decaying. And later on my dad was the owner of Kelley's Locksmith Shop. And he had the privilege of doing much of the lock work and other hardware work on the Elissa. I moved away in 89', bad mistake, but I have lived many places but now in San Antonio but Galveston will always be my home.

      @@galvestonunscripted Thank you. My son is in Tucson but is eating all of this up. Both of my kids are BOI kids but we moved to Houston for a few years so that's all they remember. But he is going crazy with your pod cast. I think you have discussed the native Indians that had been there long before we were? It's late and I can't remember off hand but up to my teenage years, mid 60's, there was some type of cement display mound out somewhere east of the St Park I think?And it had a few glass viewing ports to see what was supposed to be artifacts left by the Karankawa Indians. But I've heard it was eventually washed away by Ike I think? Anyway do you have a pod cast on that or anything about the natives on the island?

    Yes, no such thing as climate change...that whole narrative has been shown as false and the data planted for research will be skewed. . But, weather manipulation has been a problem, weather weaponization is a real thing. These hurricanes with warmer seas have gotten bigger and more dangerous. The warmer seas are accredited to HAARP and the heaters they have put under the water out there. This is research independent for weather. While I'd like to be in the majority believing what the media releases., I can't when I have seen the deliberate attempt to mask the truth.
