WELCOME FRIEND
First and foremost, I am a prior service Marine. Though my time spent in the Corps isn't really worth talking about, I came away from that institution with a profound sense of camaraderie. We adapted the phrase Gung Ho which means work together. Officers and enlisted both share equal responsibility and work together to acheive common goals.
The Marine Corps also instills in each Marine a code that makes each individual and each group completely responsible for their actions and teaches us to put everything we have into everything we do.
Ooh Rah!!
I developed a love for Physics, Astronomy and History when I was a wee lad.
Over the years I have paid more attention to the philosophical side of science rather than the mathematical. I found it more exciting to try and figure out why certain things are deemed absolutes when there are clearly many other tangible possiblities to consider. Asking 'What if...? is the prevalent question in that endeavor.
I was a late bloomer when it came to the desire to go back to school. I majored in Quantum Physics, but didn't finish my degree. The reason for it I will not discuss here. However, I will say that life has a funny way of pushing us in directions that we sometimes cannot foresee.
I grew up on the left coast in San Diego, but currently reside in Kansas.

READER COMMENTS ABOUT ONCE UPON A TIME: RETRIBUTION
Jack Roberts, radio host at Cable Radio Network in Los Angeles comments: “Jack Lawrence has authored a fascinating and enthralling science fiction yarn in his new book. I could not put this book down…I was up until past midnight last night to finish it.”
Colorado Springs ophthalmological assistant Theresa Herbert declares, “What I liked about ONCE UPON A TIME was how it kept hold of my attention. It was a very easy read and took me to another very interesting place for a while. I am not much of a sci-fi reader, but I enjoyed this one very much.”
Michelle Robinson Comments: Once I started reading this book during my lunch hour, I had a difficult time taking a break from it to return to work. Great story! It's not a genre I would normally find interest in, but the story kept me entertained thoroughly. I cannot wait for your next book!
Something to think about
Whether or not you believe something doesn't make it real or unreal; it is what it is despite your beliefs.
There is always more than one answer to every question. It just depends upon which answer fits your original question the best. Just don’t forget about the others because you may be asking the wrong question in the first place.
I understand why some ideas are accepted over others and also why Aliens are thought of as being the helpers or promoters or keystones for anything that is unexplainable. The easy road is most commonly taken.
Accepting any answer as an absolute is foolish even if it is the obvious choice.
Besides, why would Aliens want to visit us anyway? this place is dangerous, with earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, toronadoes, lightning just to name a few, then there's large predatory meat eaters, to disease laden mosquitoes not to mention airborn viruses, throw a little bacteria on top of it all and yeah, this place is dangerous. Add modern man to the mix oh boy. Not to mention that just about every movie you'll ever see about aliens depicts them as violent agressors or something to be captured and disected as a lab experiment. So, why would aliens want to visit us? Don't get me wrong I'd love it if they would as would most of you I'd imagine, but if I were from another planet I don't think I'd want to visit this place openly.
Just something to think about.
Ever wonder about the giant canyon on Mars?
It looks to me to be more like an impact scrape than any form of erosion or plate movement. Beginning from right to left as seen in the picture above, the scrape mark would have stopped about halfway along and then could have been eroded by the water that is supposed to have been plentiful on Mars in its distant past.
Anyone that has ever thrown a ball in the street has seen the same kind of scrape marks on the ball.
Maybe this is what killed Mars.
I wonder if Mars' moons fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces.
