Okay, so I have to rewrite this freaking post to my blog just because this piece of remote posting software that I installed decided to dump my earlier post. That really chaps my hide.
too bad tho, I should have saved it. Anyways here we go:
First post for the new year!
So I took the family up to Jacksonville to ring in the new years. Pretty good fireworks show as usually on the Landing. The kids were all over the place – actually Cheyenne was all over
the place, Marcus was pretty subdued.Â
We stayed at NAS Jax and had one of the most miserable stays ever. We all pretty much got sick on the first night – dry scratchy throat. The carpet in the room was so filthy, the bottom of our feet got black from walking on it. We asked to move to another room. Got to the other room. The carpet was slightly better, but the condition was worst. We had roaches galore. We found blood splash on one of the walls. Behind one of the couch we found what appears to be an empty McDonald’s bag next to a bunch of roaches feeding on a piece of what appers to be a Dorito chip.Â
We ended up leaving at around 19:30 New Year’s day back for Ocala. Felt really bad about the whole trip. Will make it up to the family.

Is it just me or are we just one damn stupid and arrogant country? Woke up this morning to the news that the president is thinking about spending billions to put man back on the moon and ….yeah…Mars await.
Okay. When I was like friggin 5 years old, that was a very appealing story, but the state of affairs here on Earth (and by the way, I think we still live here) is such that billions of people are wallowing in unforgivable miserable poverty. And the grandest thought we can come up with is ….yeah…why don’t we go to the damn moon. And by the way, who cares about the deficit anyway?…jobs…smobs.
There is no politics here folks….this is straight up dumb-ass shit!
Here is a novel idea….brace yourselves – why don’t we, so called rich country, genuinely set a course to eradicate Malaria around the world…no…no….no..let’s start with getting everybody clean drinking water or maybe friggin’ food for crying out loud!.
Why is it that some rich folks, without a care in the world, always come up with some of the dumbest shit humanly possible? Maybe someone needs to take Mr President down to Louisianna or Southern Mississippi, not to mention Namibia, the Congo or the Phillipines and show him how barren prosperity is there.
Sure, it is not just America’s problem to fix the world, but such thinking shows how far some of us who inhabit this little piece of rock in space is from what’s actually going on here.

Just got in from a 14 hour day. Pretty intense. Had an overall good day, but one big negative. Crap! that really tweaks my annoyance meter some. I am not one for raining on my subordinates parade, but twice in the last few weeks they have rained on mine, in fact, they have peeped all over it. Not really sure what the next step will be….got to think….
At any rate, got to go get some sleep right now. Working night shift really messes with your head some.
Damn – got to get on my workout schedule – got to add stuff to the Workout blog.
