Yeah, so. On leave. I'm sitting at my friend's desk, using his computer to look at naked girls and tell you all about my week. Oh, don't worry. He'd do the same for me. We're cool like that.

So, I got off teh plane in Anchor-town (or Las Anchorge for you jaded, Alaska types), went over to a friends house (not the same friend, mind...but...

Wow, haven't posted since January, and the only person who would've given a shit then I blew off because, well, because. I'm not wired like you. Or you. Or you. I may be wired like you, but I can't be sure. Anyway, neither here nor there as they say.

My future desires in regards to my service to my country are in near constant oscillation....

I retire in two years. Okay, a little more than two, but that's essentially all I have left until I'm eligible to retire. And while I was rejuvenated by my little trip to Alabama (seriously, I was), this place has effectively knocked the wind right out of my sails. It's nobody's fault, not really. there is a culture here that I have problems buying into...

Another year gone. I know, the year was gone 12 days ago. But it's like I always say, don't put off until tomorrow what you can put off for 12 days. It's been a year, too. I moved from somewhere I love to somewhere I loathe (duty calls, and I won't be here forever), I've gone from despising what I do and where I do...

The day I got back from Alabama, part of the one-and-a-half days I left myself in town before I went on leave, I went on-line and checked the balance on the one credit card I own, and found two $1 charges that I certainly didn't make. So I called up the bank and they basically told me that they were monitoring the activity and had...

So, I went to work on the 30th of September (Tuesday, if you remember, and no, the rhyming is not intentional) expecting to do some training and safety stuff and go home to get ready to face the new fiscal year and new flying hour program. What I got was notification that I was going to school in Alabama. In two days. Oh, and I...

I went for a ride today. It started out great; the legs were pretty fresh for having run 5.5 miles yesterday, I'm getting my technique back, it wasn't too hot. Then my rear tire deflected off a rock and I got a pinch flat from an exposed spoke hole. I attempted to adjust my rim tape, swapped out the tube, put my bike back together...

Del Taco has a "New" Classic taco. Really? Is that anything like a "New" '69 Camaro???

So, I'm new. Well, not really new, I was a member for a while in the early 00's. I left for a number of reasons, none of which I'll get into here. I came back because, what can I say, I love naked girls. Call me a man...

I'm not what you would call a "blogger". I don't believe everyone in the "blog-o-sphere" has something...
