Well, every man needs a hobby right? Regrettably, I think I may have stumbled on to one I didn’t want, namely this (very) used 1998 BMW 750IL I bought. “Y0u fucked up! You trusted an Army Major” And now-as I am rapidly discovering, the BMW 7 series of the 90’s

To understand the root causes of the Occupy Wall Street protests-or why, no matter how much pepper spray or billy clubs you use-the genie may not go quietly back into the bottle. That’s not to say that the OWS movement does not have its problems-and it seems clear to me

Just got back from returning the rental car. The other car is still MIA somewhere in the Atlantic. It did not take this long to get things back from Japan. So I took the car into town, dropped it off and took the train back. As is my want-I did

Today was the first day I had to scrape ice off the windshield-before driving to work. I am quite sure it won’t be the last. The consolation was that for the first time in 5 days-there was no fog in either the morning or afternoon. The fog is what is

It could be worse. Courtesy of the Jaded Major, here is a collection of really bad days. What is interesting-I actually was witness to three of these mishaps when they happened, no lie! I’ll bet a lot of you folks who were in Naval Aviation in a previous life can

Or in German: Noch damit beschäftigt. I got some interesting and good news yesterday. Namely that I will be traveling in the near future-back and forth across the Atlantic and the Mediterranean-all in one month. Whoo Hoo! Let the frequent flyer mileage counters spin. The S.O. and I put the
