Retired from the United States Air Force in 1997 after a bit more than 20 years. I am a social and political conservative who is quite disappointed in the Bush administration’s utter lack of seriousness on the topic of border security — their eagerness to be liked by people who will never like them is not a charming trait. Transplanted Yankee living in the Deep South of beautiful Alabama.
If I’m picking teams I’m going with Penn State, then Auburn, and finally Alabama. So in order of importance let’s hear:
We are Penn State!
War Eagle!
Roll Tide!

It really was a privilege to serve in our Armed Forces. I miss wearing the uniform and I miss the people I served with. I don’t miss the MREs, except the pork patties. I really liked the pork patties. Squirt the bag of apple sauce into the bag with the pork and you had a meal fit for…

V, I was enlisted. First went in at the end of July 1973, got out in 1977 and went back in March 1981. Retired as an E7 in 1997. Still miss it.

Hey jerky,
How about posting a fun pic or two?
Get your lazy ass out of the house and take some photographs of your hometown or something.
Or make an apple pie and take a picture of that and then mail it to me.

I thought about making some apple pie this weekend but old injuries and illness kind of kept me off my feet and in bed for two days. Nice three day weekend.
It’s freaking hot in Montgomery. We do as little as possible with temps in the mid 90s and it hasn’t really gotten hot yet. Ask me to do something in October.
