NASA and Such
A long evening continuation of the DIA / DMA Crossover from earlier the same day. NASA / Johnson Space Center surfaces as a third hypothesis — Mont Belvieu sits ~30 miles from JSC; a signed Challenger-crew photograph was a childhood birthday present; the grandmother's social graph plausibly intersected the Wernher von Braun / Operation Paperclip German-aerospace network. The investigation widens into the maternal-grandmother lineage, an OSS-Pacific-theater intelligence marriage, the illegal-adoption storyline, and an old conflict with a powerful religious institution. Closes on a redemptive theological note.

DIA / DMA Crossover
An evening continuation of the Shit Pile thread, this time considering the possibility that the uniformed personnel who showed me satellite imagery as a child were not DIA at all — they may have been DMA (the Defense Mapping Agency, which actually owned the satellite-imagery infrastructure of the era), looking for something more specific than spatial reasoning. The conversation widens out to natural-form recognition, the suppression of intuitive faculties by family-of-origin dynamics, Indra's net, and closes on a foreign-language note for the morning.

DIA FOIA Reply
A reply from the Defense Intelligence Agency to the FOIA request filed yesterday — the request must be re-submitted as a Privacy Act request because it concerns the requester. A morning session with Too Bits to handle the PDF form's character-limit truncation and the attachment workflow that gets the full text through anyway.
