Welcome

Welcome to my Blog.

It consists of my thoughts on whatever I feel like sharing my thoughts about: popular culture; guns, shooting, self-defense and personal responsibility; Amateur Radio; literature; science fiction and fantasy; history; the Army and military affairs; beer, wine, and other Adult Beverages; food and cooking; current events; cats; and whatever else I feel like commenting on.

I will not be talking about my job--I don't know, offhand, what my employers policy is regarding blogs, and I do not intend to test it. It may not be the best job in the world, but it's the only one I have. I also have little interest in conspiracy theories...

Please Note: This is MY blog. I hope you enjoy reading it. I do not make any promises, however, not to offend you. I have no problem with dissent and/or disagreement, but please keep it polite, and rational.
