Gretel got an interim security clearance recently and will get to go onto Walter Reed Military Base with Ann (that's Gretel looking at an announcement for a beer festival).
Some of the people who security interviewed remember Gretel making problematic comments when her clearance application was initially reviewed.
However, Gretel has managed to get those people to doubt their own memories (gas-lighting). The image is of Ingrid Bergman from the 1944 film "Gaslight". She plays a woman whose memories are manipulated by her husband. One of the memories is of the gas lights in a house being dimmed.
When I asked Gretel how she felt about her successful gas-lighting, she said,
"Hey I don't even know what that means since I'm a dog, you know... bark bark bark"
Yeah I guess that makes sense. Maybe I remembered it wrong.
Ann took Gretel in to work today.
