I just got done riding my bike around the perimeter 3 times, maybe 15 miles total. I wish we were allowed to ride off the installation! The Mediterranean is just 8 miles north of here. What a nice destination the beach would be, even with my pasty white WASP complexion. Apparently the Force Protection honcho thinks we'd be targets once outside the wire. Crap.

According to Colonel Mills (CO of the 24th MEU) noncomdrone's next location is unavailable to the general public. If you run into a CPL Pewthers in Iraq, would you please tell him the beautiful girl with Amelie Hair says hello? Hopefully you won't be patching him up. Unless you can help him get home early with a doctor's note or something...

Thursday here is like Friday in the rest of the (Western) world, the last day of the workweek. All I have to do today is ride around in a Huey and see if the pilots seem sane and safe. Then again, who am *I* to judge?
Okay, anywhere else in the world the weather would be a trite subject, but this is the Sinai Desert....

Hey, write what you know, you know? Thanks for the greeting, it's nice to be here!

seems neither of us was lucky enough to be the subject of girlblue's dreamwalking. :-)
Huey's actually aren't that bad. I've enjoyed the rides I've had in them. At one time I actually considered going into helos if I ever finished my degree and was dumb enough to stay with the Corps. Better the huey than the Osprey that's for damned sure!

Okay, this is what I was doing:

Actually, I *failed* to do it. It all came down to the last night of evaluation, and my final radio call (a MEDEVAC request.) Those of you in the military are familiar with the radio procedure for speaking numbers so as to avoid confusing similar-sounding ones. For you civilians:
one = one
two = two
three =...

You know...I would have voted for Dole when I had the chance if he would have let his personality out from underneath the old man mask. He is a wise and funny fahwkin guy. I have seen him on television. I wan't a pres that can make me laugh...not one that makes me wan't to cry everyday.
I have found the perfect willow switch, and will commence self-flagellation as soon as I finish writing the word "fiery" 1000 times.

Shit, maybe it was George Bush. First Senator Wellstone, now this.
All our heroes.

Too funny. This nearly cost me my cup of coffee.

It's RAINING here!
So I e-mailed my Branch Manager (the officer in DC who arranges assignments) and asked her to put my name on a PostIt, reminding her I'd be interested in helping out in Iraq.
What the heck, huh?

Hello. I have what I believe is an old, metal tri-fold gynecological exam table (I can post photos if interested). There are small structures on the sides that I assume are intended to hold the stirrups. Do you know of any places where I might be able to find a set of stirrups for it? I have had this for many years, and I would like to restore it as nicely and completely as possible.
Oh, I am a good friend of Betsy's (and I assume she'll vouch for me). Sorry if this message sounds a bit odd, but I am 100% serious!
Be well, Tak

My roommate puts the coffee mugs in the cabinet upsidedown after they've dried. I grabbed one this morning and tried filling it with coffee before turning it over.
At least I'd made a big pot.

So I've been surprised lately at the non-regulars I see stopping by my journal. Gad, "journal" sounds so pretentious. But it's cool to see some new faces; I generally hate meeting people. You all know this page is just a running catharsis for cynicism, self-loathing and love for Winona Ryder. Okay, and that B-girl too.
Um, I got a little outta' control on the latest...

Okay, a *certain* cranky scientista was unhappy with my journal page experiment. Some people collect turtles, some collect entries. It all depends on how you want your house to smell!
Realizing I'm the grumpy old man around here, do any of you ever think about who and where you'll be at the age of 40? Or 42? I'm thinking about myself at age 21, running...

whad'ya gonna' have 2+ pages for every entry now?

wow- 2 pages again! that's another way to get multiple pages of journal posts- ask thought provoking questions, like morgan does.
