Hitting a cop is probably not a way to do it. I guess Cynthia McKinney never got the lecture from her father about never argue with a cop on the scene……… Neither does this do much for your career progression: WASHINGTON (AP) – A spokesman for the Homeland Security Department

” Why are you against progress?”
As you have probably noticed by my postings, I am not a big fan of the current management strategy in DOD and the Department of the Navy. Several folks have accused me of being a dinosaur (which I probably am), but at the same time they do not offer a

Meant to post something serious tonight, but events and tiredness overcame me. So that will have to wait till the AM. ( After I work out, so no guarantees……). This last weekend was the Rugby Sevens, where I wish I had been. Madame Chiang, Expat at Large, and Shaky Kaiser

No babes this week, my wireless card does not seem to be working here for some reason. Sorry Mark! Wait till I get home. ( I could have used one last night!). Other musings / complaints. Why is it when I heard on TV that a Congressperson had been accused

Long day today getting from Hong Kong to San Diego. Actually was not too bad just LAX is a real nut house. There has to be a better way to get folks through airport security. After arriving in San Dog, went through the usual rental car stuff and came straight

Got up this AM and set out for Victoria Peak. Which is a waste of time because it was cloudy raining and windy…….and foggy. Plus the construction on the Peak tower means the Pacific Coffee where I loved to sit and read and sip java is not there. So I

Yes I am still here. Last 3 days have been busy and when the evening rolled around I was either sleepy or beery or both. Ergo, no blogging. Now its off for leg 2 of the journey, a side trip for the weekend to HKG……… I probably should have gone
