Sometimes we go too far

Chuck Norris – the man – the myth – the guy that kills with a roundhouse kick to the face is quite popular among members of the armed services. A few years ago somebody came up with a bunch of Chuck Norris “facts” that turned out to be quite hilarious. They spread like a [...]

I’ll be fine

I went to the doc – something that I loathe doing – so that I could get on the road to recovery.

His assessment – wow, your muscles are really tight. If it’s still bad in a week come back and I’ll try to stretch it out. Take some anti inflammatory meds for the [...]

Boredom will do that

Boredom will force you cause you to make foolish decisions. My latest foolish decision was to go to the gym for the past 12 days without a break. If I was a normal, healthy individual this wouldn’t be that big of a deal but I’ve got problems that don’t respond well to repeated abuse.

Green technology our salvation?

The US economy has been quite turbulent of late and not one of us is sure how things are going to turn out. Speculation runs rampant that we are headed for a depression or at best a recession. Either way, we need to do something to turn the tide against the “bubbles” that we [...]

Drive it till the doors fall off

Its rare that we see a new vehicle in my career field because we drive the heck out of them. While the mileage is never high, the vehicles have seen many hours of use.

When I was in Korea we had an ’85 Chevy truck with 140k miles. Black smoke poured from the exhaust, [...]

Five years in Iraq

I read a great article at the NY Times that details the last five years in Iraq. The journalist, who spent the last five years in that country, offers an interesting take on what is transpiring in the country. We claim what victories we can and some victories are not all they are cracked [...]

Links! – The Sunday Edition

Ok, I haven’t had any great links to share until today and I found a few that somebody might enjoy

Glen Beck doesn’t believe that Florida and Michigan should get a do-over primary because they broke the rules. Instead of giving reasons why the primaries should be held they are only providing excuses – [...]

Crashing

I’ve been crashing the last few days for some unexplained reason. I’m not driving vehicles into solid objects but rather experiencing my body deplete its energy reserves. Last night, about an hour before chow I noticed that I was having an extremely hard time concentrating. Little bits of time were disappearing and I was [...]

Links!

This is the coolest sentence I’ve read in the last two months

White women in peril The media LOVES to talk about white women in peril – they’ll spend days talking about it. I don’t remember any stories about any other type of women in peril except for younger white women. Huh… They have [...]

The media only gets paid if you stay afraid

The media loves to sensationalize every single thing that might cut your life short at a moments notice. Over the past few years they’ve run the entire gamut. Off the top of my head there is MSRA (staph infection), bird flu, West Nile virus, terrorism, (normal) flu, Africanized bees, pit bulls, overgrown snakes, and [...]
