Box Number Seven
Forged in the fire of a childhood addiction to mystery, trivia, and answers to questions that are seemingly never asked. From History, to Mystery, missing persons to the conspiratorial aside. Throw in some eschatology and intrigue, and maybe something interesting comes out the other side. But generally, I'm appropriating the Genre of "Historical Intrigue."

If you are in any way familiar with the saga of the Ruggles Brothers' 1892 robbery, killing and subsequent lynching at the hands of an anonymous, midnight populace, you may think that Smith Mountain Cemetery was their final resting place.
As I discovered a few weeks ago, this is not the case, and while that part may not be...
In which I fall on my sword for complete and utter dereliction. But I have my reasons.
if you listened to Episode #52, you'll get it.
If you haven't --DO SO NOW.
In episode 17 of my podcast, I discuss the 1909 Airship disaster in Redding, California that claimed one life and damaged another. Perhaps you remember my peripheral fascination with the 78 year old man that was trampled in the melee--, and the brief itemization of physical traumas he survived before--and after this one.
I went back, simply intending to make a more detailed itemization of my hero-sub-plot--dude.--and discovered that...
My last show was hauntingly prophetic. I had no idea that a historical preservation site in Indonesia--@Indonesia_Graveyard -- was going to become the absolute incarnate definition of what I was talking about.
Ruri and Reyhan are the definition of God's messengers. They located a lost burial place--belonging to a man-- for his children on the other side of the world.
And changed lives.
They deserve their own episode.
Sorry for the late entry this week. I've been slammed. But I'll explain why.
It's 1945, and World War II is about to come to an abrupt end at the hands of an atomic bomb over Hiroshima.
The US naval vessel responsible for delivering the radioactive uranium, would make port, and then head for the Philippines--where a Japanese submarine would have the vessel completely submerged in twelve minutes with a brutal complement of torpedoes.
This is their story, and an aftermath with an even more cruel end--highlight...
A 1979 excavation of a small Victorian house in Sacramento opened a three dimension vortex of a world 100 years prior. This is the story of May Woolsey. Dead at 12, her story and life live on.
A brief look at a phenomena that you have every reason to find suspect at some point.
DEAR YOUTUBE VIEWERS;
YES--I AM AWARE THAT THESE VIDEOS ARE ONLY STILL PHOTOS. I HAVE ONLY A FINITE AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE DAY TO MAKE A PODCAST. AS OF RIGHT NOW, I'M AN AUDIO PODCAST ON ALL THE MAJOR PLATFORMS. I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU FOUND ME THERE AND SUPPORTED ME. I WILL HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS PLATOFRM MORE DYNAMIC, BUT I'M NEW, AND TRYING TO MAKE IT ALL WORK.
With the death of Ozzy careening across the news, I thought it a...
A brief look at infrastructural fame.
I look back at the Pirates canon, and speculate about where it might be headed.
That's not a good prognostication.
But I'm willing to let them take me with it for a small part.
I came across David Sven's music last week. I liked it.
Then I smelled a rat. Something is off.
We are heading into very uncharted and horrific waters with A.I.

A little mid-week (ish) material.
Thanks for your support!!
Ron Chernow (author of "Hamilton") is back with a GIANT biography of my favorite writer of all time.
I just finished it, and give my impressions.
Not a real episode per se. Just some nihilistic rumination which . . . actually is normal.
Never mind.
Sherri Papini is featured in a new documentary--""Caught in the Lie."
I examine a few points that stand out to me. I make no argument for or against it, for the most part, and claim no comprehensive review here.
I extend an invitation for her to come on my podcast: Boxnumberseven@yahoo.com
NOTE: picture generated by me using Chat GPT for concept.
I took a few minutes to discuss my admiration for, and cast an empathetic sendoff for an actual genius.
What you may not know is—Isaac Newton was one part scientist, and two parts theologian—and not only didn’t refrain from any perceived overlap, but always stated that the prior would always vindicate the essential core of the latter—that all planetary motions, ellipses, and core issues of matter and light proceeded from something far more omnipotent.
He would go on to write a commentary on the book of Daniel, examining Old testament ...
