And lo, I drove down the street, and I beheld a sign in the east. And under it were drivers, gathered around their pumps by night. And suddenly a multitude of numbers appeared in the heavens saying 2.12 for regular, 2.22 medium, 2.32 for premium unleaded. And there was peace on cement and goodwill towards clerks. Yea verily, I say unto you this day in the city of Killeen, gas prices have fallen seventy cents in the last two months. And there was great rejoicing throughout the land forever ...
This has been inspired by this blog from earlier today. Link Alright, so you're shopping for a car. Wow. What amazing options! With very little variance in money, you can choose from a huge array of choices. So.........you pick something plain jane that'll get you from a to b, right? Don't care what it looks like as long as it gets you there. No? You want to go with something a little different? Okay, so you go with something a little more tasteful and pick up a 70 Mach 1, loaded with...

Just to warm you up, a joke. Written on the headstone of one of an Army Mule. (they used to be kept as mascots) (actually i heard somewhere that this one was real, but who knows?) Here lies Sally the mule. During his 15 years of service to the United States Army he kicked over forty privates, twenty-two sergeants, fourteen lieutenants, eight captains, five majors, four colonels, two generals, and one bomb. So I ran out to the junkyard today. (dear Lord I love that place.) I'm replacing ...

What is this you've clicked on? Just another meandering speculation on that which is blogging. Blogitat ergo sum. First and possibly foremost, there is blogging as community. How so? Blogging allows the user to interact socially as anonymously as they wish, without risking worse rejection than a bad flaming. It allows us to join a community of fellow bloggers as a "family" at a site. It allows you to join with others of similar interest. Suddenly I have "friends," even though I might be af...

They must love me, they keep calling me. The reserves folk called me yet again. Woot. No, no, bad reservists! {spank} {spank} All or nothing, but not I'm not doing in between, yeesh.

Time again for my once a week accountability blog. Okay, this week sucked. It went out to do that five miler, bit it after three (I hadn't eaten all day, go figure. No gas = no run, duh nbs) And when I got back my shins were fakakta (i just like that word today) so boom, injury means no running. Grand total for the week, six lousy miles. Blech. And I have no idea on the weight, 'cause I forgot to weigh myself this morning. Probably not good after this week though. In the words of Bill the...
Okay, I've got to finally admit it. The temptation is there. I'm having second thoughts. No, not the kind of second thoughts like, man I love dark chocolate though, or, my wife's 3000 miles away, she'd never know about just one time. Not those......well, ok, maybe the one about the chocolate. I've been thinking about going back in. Of course, three months of not working consistently has been somewhat of a factor. But if I go back in, it's enough of a time commitment that I'm looking at ...

Gotcha! Sorry, it was just too good a title to pass up on. This is my log for the week, to report how well I did on my running slash dietary improvements. Basically the idea is that if I don't do my running, I'm accountable and will be horribly embarassed. Plus you'll know how fat I really am. Ha! So here it is. First week, Mon-Sun. Tuesday, walked two miles in the morning, ran 3 at night. Thursday, ran 4, got a good speed workout doing 100 yard strides, 5 repeats. Saturday, ran 3....
