Sunday 30 August 2009

Sunday morning, Groundhog Day. Sunday is Tuesday is Friday. I went to the gym early this morning and watched the potpourri of soldiers, contractors and “shadow warriors” in their beards and ballcaps. Disclaimer- I have the utmost respect for our nation’s secret warriors- Special Forces, CIA, etc. It does however, intrigue me to see the legions of white guys with short hair, full beards, and UT Longhorn baseball caps trucking around in Land Cruisers, looking a bit like rogue Amish Dutch. Now in 2001, that was probably a pretty good disguise. I mean, people probably bought that they were a University of Oregon student on a walkabout for some good hash who just happened to be carrying several automatic weapons. In 2009, not so muich. By the way, yes, Mom, I’m going to mass.

  1. Incidentally, Joe, how's the weather? Compared to Kuwait? Compared to Kailua with Kona conditions?

    Are you operating yet? What sort of operating hours will you be putting in? Bless you!

  3. Hey Dude, take it easy on the University of Oregon....although, now I am thinking that U of O was where my salivary glands might have been damaged!
