One thing about track and field that’s a negative for me, other than the oppressive heat, is the fact that the season is so short. In this area we don’t have much indoor activity, so that makes the season even shorter.
Well, it was an interesting morning.
After a fair amount of study, I went into Orlando this morning to take the Technician’s exam, the lowest licensing level for amateur radio. There were more candidates there than I expected.
Bayou Renaissance Man has an interesting article here about some different countries’ field rations and he wonders how much swapping goes on amont those who use them. Heh. Reminds me of part of my time in Vietnam.
AD has a post well worth reading (not that most his aren’t!) regarding what one might consider an overabundance of prescription medications. It reminds me of a time when my mother, now deceased, had 17 different medications on her daily intake list.

In 1958, the Air Force had been an independent service for a decade, and during that time very much involved in Korea. The Military Pay Act of 1958 added two pay grades to the top of the enlisted force structure: E8 -Senor Master Sergeant, and E9 - Chief Master Sergeant.
Other than my AR-15’s, there are two rifles I’ve always wanted to own. Well, “always” may be stretching it a bit, but I’d settle for “a long time,” I suppose.
On my daily visit (sometimes more often), I saw that AD pointed to an article at Snooze Button Ronin entitled A Good Exchange. Hah!
Need a teaser? Try this:
“What’s wrong with ‘free-range chicken?’” the waiter asked.
