Man, the Chiefs Suck This Year

You’d think they would play a little better for me, since I’m working so hard over here in Baghdad.
 
But no.

Cool Experienc4e

I got to ride in a helicopter for the first time in my life a few days ago.
We took a Blackhawk (H-60) to the Green Zone.
This is one of the things associated with being a General’s Aide.

Great Read on Retribution

Read the whole thing.  Seriously.

Over 25% Done

Only 3 more 3-month blocks to go, and I get to go back home!

My View On Health Care Reform

Non-Zombie Apocolypse

Okay, let’s re-adjust.
I know zombie’s are all the rage these days, but what about other types of apocolypses?
What would you do if there was a 50% chance an asteroid would hit the earth within a month?  What preparations would you make?  Do you think civilization would hold in the US with a month to prepare?

Apocolypse Survival

I was thinking about one scenario…
Not zombies…but maybe it could be modified.
