As Sam Kinison once said, " These fucking bastards–GET OFF OF OUR BACKS!" The Navy will kick off its Breathalyzer beta test on Thursday at 13 commands. The tests, which include the U.S. Fleet Forces Command staff and 12 other units, were announced Wednesday. Rear Adm. Mark D.

Fruhlingsfest
On Sunday-the S.O. and I went to the Stuttgart Spring Festival in Bad Cannstaat. ( Where the Porsche company is headquartered). Took the train which thus allowed the consumption of mass quantities of German Beer. What’s not to like about that? On the way there, we first stopped in Stuttgart and walked down Konigstrasse-where they… Continue reading Fruhlingsfest
Be careful what you wish for……
Well might as well beat the dead horse some more. About the Secret Service "scandal"-which is not a scandal really, but a minor incident that has been blown WAY OUT OF PROPOROTION. The New York Post is printing pictures of some of the girls in question-wonder how much they paid for those-and rummaging through agent's… Continue reading Be careful what you wish for……
The 7% solution
In two weeks-my savings and investments have lost almost 6% of their value. Money that it took me years to cobble together-gone. At least for now. But it could have been a lot worse-A LOT WORSE. Fortunately, I got some good advice and have invested in some pretty strong stocks-so they weathered the storm better… Continue reading The 7% solution
Some Cinco de Mayo
The S.O. had her knee “scoped” today. So I am sitting at home trying to keep her from getting up off the couch. And drinking Margaritas. She can’t drink them-I need to: But doing it …..safely!

Charlie Sheen was in Washington DC two nights ago, I read about the performance of his so called “Torpedo of Truth” tour-and I felt sorry for the man. Lots of people are expressing the same emotion, but mine is based on a far different reason than most of those shaking their heads and dismissing the… Continue reading Understanding Charlie Sheen
There is always a record.
Slow new years day today. We've been watching Alabama play-and taking down the tree. I may need to head for my first nap of the New Year. I did, however, stumble on this blog of "Texts from Last Night". They had a list of the best New Years Eve texts. I thought it was pretty… Continue reading There is always a record.
Things to do in Denver…
When you miss your flight and have to hang around until the evening to be on standby to get a seat……… A jack-knifed tractor trailer made me late getting to Denver. I was five minutes late to get on board. Options? Not many. I was lucky I made it then-the further north you went from… Continue reading Things to do in Denver…
Too much fun……
Back to the Weinachts Markt in the shadow of the great Cathedral. The Fruh beer hall is just 200 meters from there. It was crowded. .21l glasses were only 1.6 Euro. A band was playing on the other side of the square. And Herr Ober kept coming back to our table. The rest you can… Continue reading Too much fun……
Odds and ends…….
Its been a bad week for posting. I still need to rebut Curtis, a lot has happened on the national scene, and I have had some personal victories this week. All quite bloggable, but there is a little annoyance called work which keeps getting in the way. I also was able to jump on a… Continue reading Odds and ends…….
