Sequester

by Steve on March 26, 2013

Let’s stop the BS shall we? “Sorry congress critters, you’ll get no pay until you do your job. Look it up in the Constitution, you must pass a budget, it’s what we hired you for and therefore we can fire you for lack of same.”

Met an FBI agent when I was trying to buy ammo the other day. She was about to be furloughed for a few weeks. Now I read we may have to stand down a few carrier Air Wings.

THIS IS NUTS PEOPLE! Do you really think Dr. Evil is going to go golfing when we send everyone home?

Keep going to Starbucks like nothing’s going down. Ever heard of the term “mission kill”? That’s where you disable the target without having to waste the assets to actually destroy it. Shack! Nice job congress!

The Longest Day

by Steve on March 6, 2013

A year ago it was, doesn’t seem possible. Still miss his wit, his jabs, the unbearable lightness. Always will.

Kfir

Can’t be in Sandy Eggo this evening to join the gang but there’s a local Irish place that’ll have a pint and a shot ready.

To you, good Captain! I don’t get to spend much time above the clouds these days but the sight of sunlight bouncing off the puffies always pulls you in.

Where are the Carriers?

February 10, 2013

Apparently not where they are supposed to be since the DC circus can’t get its act together and pass an actual budget. In this day and age of entitlements nobody wants their pet projects to suffer. The reality of the situation is we all need to adapt to less support from the nanny or when [...]

The Land of Make-believe

January 22, 2013

I find little to take heart in regarding the national discussion of late. The one overriding factor that I have noticed though is the signal-to-noise ratio is increasing rapidly. The inauguration seems to have caused more of a spirited response than the election did even though one inevitably leads to the next. Social media has [...]

Aftermath

December 19, 2012

The liberal left wants to assassinate the CEO of the NRA and the ultra-conservative right would have you believe God is punishing us.  I think I will sit quietly in the middle and clean my legally obtained and responsibly stored firearms just in case the thugery show up at my door with a 30-round clip.

Never Give Up

December 14, 2012

There are no easy answers to tragedies like Newtown, Columbine, Aurora, etc. Popular sentiment seems to be blame the means not the underlying cause. When one of our kids reaches adulthood and decides it’s just not worth it, we have failed. If he or she takes innocent lives along with their own, that failure becomes [...]

Getting Old

December 12, 2012

Sucks for dogs too. He’s not curious, unfortunately this is his new normal. Crash is going blind. He has cataracts in one eye and a bone tumor behind the other. He still smiles, wags, eats, drinks, and enjoys wandering around the house looking for us. Just don’t move any furniture! As a puppy he took [...]

Yes it is! The bling is back on. Next: rewiring from nose to tail – which presents plenty of challenges.

Triple Eleven

November 11, 2012

To all my brothers – and there were some sisters as well even back then – I raise my glass with you! We know the significance of the hour/day/month. It was supposed to stop there but of course it didn’t.  There have been many wars since then, too many, but there has never been a shortage [...]

The only problem I have with Brigid’s post is that I didn’t write it.
