Okay, I'm home for a couple days--the bulk of which I get to spend doing taxes and packing bags--but I thought I'd check in to let you know that I'm still kicking.
Random asides:
Sen Edwards withdrew: did anyone know he was running?
Gov Romney withdrew: the only time I've wanted to see NR with egg on its face.
Hon Guilliani withdrew: maybe he should have competed in more than one state. Just a thought.
Sen Thompson withdrew: same deal as Sen Edwards--and I liked Sen Thompson.
The M9 is a piece of crap.
GoJo is a great weapons cleaner--especially if it's a training weapon and you won't have to use it again.
Related to the previous: few things are as worthless as a bolt action M16.
If I had more patience--and more than three days--I'd itemize my taxes, but I don't, so I owe Uncle Sam $900. That's right--no interest free loan for Uncle Sam this year.
I spent the last month (and more) MOSQing as an MP--good times. Now I get to do the train-up bit required of all National Guard units.
I may be able to check in once more prior to leaving the U.S., but if not, I'll try to send updates to a friend who'll post them.
