T’was a good weekend

Herbie the cream tabby sits under a table at the end of an apartment hallway waiting to be fed. He’s in a loaf position My brother and I stand next to a Christmas tree that we’ve decorated. It’s become a tradition.

Maybe my best selfie ever
My ginger cat peers into the camera, which is on the floor. His expression is curious and contemplative as if he likes what he sees. I’m in the background. We’re under a table. His head looks enormous, like a mountain lion.

Do I think the FBI & CIA know what happened to Ron Tammen and are keeping it secret? Fersure

Do I think they should be dismantled down to the joists by Elon Musk? Absolutely not. I respect what they do.

If you’re FBI/DOJ/CIA & feel like talking, contact me anonymously ronaldtammen.com/contact
A photo from the early 1950s of Ron Tammen looking debonair as he casually kneels in a suit and tie. Ron Tammen disappeared from the campus of Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) on April 19, 1953. Even though he’d ostensibly “disappeared,” the FBI had added him to their infamous Security Index, which means that they considered him to be dangerous or a threat to national security and were keeping tabs on him. I also have evidence that Tammen’s psychology professor was assisting with Project Artichoke, the CIA’s drugs/hypnosis program before MKULTRA, and that they were recruiting students for hypnosis studies during the 1952-53 academic year. Lastly, I have evidence that Tammen was still alive in 2002, even though he was no longer using his name or former Social Security number. Therefore, I absolutely think the CIA and FBI knew what happened to him and may have even had a hand in his disappearance. With all that’s been going on with Elon Musk and his wrecking crew taking a battering ram to our federal government, I can’t help but feel that someone in the FBI, DOJ, or CIA might want to come clean at this point. Ron Tammen disappeared more than 70 years ago. It’s time for someone to tell us what really happened. If you are with the FBI/DOJ/CIA and have info, please contact me at ronaldtammen.com/contact. I will protect your anonymity into perpetuity. That is an ironclad promise.

Happy Caturday from Herbie, who turns 17 today. I think he knows it’s his special day because he was willing to pose for this picture

I generally don’t observe Dry January, however I just found out about this sparkling wine from Italy with alcohol removed, 35 cal, and I can’t tell the difference between this and regular Prosecco. This has been a public service announcement. 🥂

I don’t mean to brag, but bacon is my superpower.
A picture of two golden pieces of bacon that are perfectly rendered and crispy. The trick is to cook them low and slow and to flip frequently.

My plastic porch cat had a visitor last night. 🐾🐾🐾 I like how the animal (I’m guessing a neighbor’s cat) never circled back when he discovered my porch cat’s not real. He just nonchalantly kept walking, squeezed past the rails, and jumped…as if he totally meant to take that little detour.
A plastic ginger cat sits at the end of my front porch as if he’s watching cars and people go by. He looks pretty real—so real, in fact, the reason he’s on the porch is that my indoor cat wouldn’t allow him in the house. There’s a light snow on the porch and paw prints are directly behind him, walking away from him. In this view, we’re looking at the back of the plastic cat and the paw prints are visible walking away from him. This photo is of the paw prints on the other end of my porch, after the animal (a cat) got past the plastic cat. The prints go between two narrowly spaced porch rails and then come to an abrupt end when they’ve run out of porch.

I wrote this to the Washington Post today when they told me about a really great deal they were offering
This is an email I wrote to the Washington Post, letting them know that I won’t ever be subscribing to their paper since their owner, Jeff Bezos, has been kissing up to tR**p. 🤮

What are 2 things that you know how to do that you’re proud of? I’ll go first: I know how to drive a stick shift and I can open a bottle of champagne without tools. (I learned how to do that second thing just now.)
I just poured this glass of champagne

This boy has had a rough year (diagnosed with kidney disease and eating all new food, etc, etc.). But he’s still up for his annual Thanksgiving roadtrip and this smile means everything to me.
Herbie has a smile on his face as he sleeps in his furry doughnut in a hotel room.

My boy Herbie
Herbie’s a ginger who doesn’t really like to have his picture taken, which is why he rarely looks at me directly when I point my phone at him

April 19 has rolled around again, the anniversary of when #RonTammen disappeared from Miami U, in 1953.

I’ve been researching #RonaldTammen's disappearance since 2010. Here’s an update. ⬇️

If this is a new story to you, check the alt text for more background. Thx
This is a black and white photo of Ronald Tammen, who disappeared from Miami U, in Ohio, on April 19, 1953. Looks-wise, he was a cross between Gene Kelly and Paul Newman. He was also a super serious student, a resident counselor in Fisher Hall, and a string bass player in the Campus Owls, a popular campus jazz band. He was described as the last person who’d ever disappear. This cold case hasn’t been solved, though I’ve been discovering findings that were known back then and never made public. I’m convinced that the university knew a lot more than they were letting on, and I’m trying to bring everything out into the light.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I now have the official fire marshal’s report from the National Personnel Records Center fire in St. Louis, MO, on July 12, 1973. There’s something very, very wrong with it.

You can read more about it here—under the addendum: www.facebook.com/share/gs6AeV...
This is the cover sheet of the fire marshal’s report on the National Personnel Records Center Fire of July 12, 1973 Page 2 of the fire marshal’s report, which is very short on detail even though he had learned much more about the fire than he’s letting on Page 3 of the fire marshal’s report.
