Regarding Ft. Hood

Fri, 11/06/09 2:58 P GMT-05
I had actually started this as a comment at Grim's Hall, but I should put this up on my own site.Seething rage does not illustrate my feelings right now.I want to go after his family. Now that I know that he is alive, I want him to receive weekly

A new experience

Sun, 11/01/09 4:51 P GMT-05
So, this Halloween was a lot different from the ones that D-6 and I went through in previous years. We had, over many years gotten into the habit of only buying a nominal amount of candy for Halloween, and then having no trick-or-treaters. We lived i

Long week

Sat, 10/24/09 1:53 P GMT-05
Yes, I have been quiet as of late. I have been doing another tac med course. This one took more hours each day, and had more PT going on. I am getting to the point that I think that the best program would be one which had a certain amount of classroo

Ending a shift with a bang.

Wed, 10/14/09 8:12 P GMT-05
So, last night's shift was pretty benign. Workups and dispositions on patients were pretty straightforward. No real diagnostic dillemmas. Just kind of moving meat, and actually having a lot of fun doing it. These off-service interns scare me ever

Home sweet home!

Fri, 10/09/09 9:28 P GMT-05
So, the big news is that I closed on our house the other day!I am so happy about it. I got a great deal on a great house. Couldn't be more pleased. I also just changed all of the locks, and now onto the other security upgrades.Domestic-6 and I ha

Adrift in an ocean of mediocrity

Wed, 09/30/09 4:22 P GMT-05
So, one of the things that I enjoy doing is martial arts. I think that it is a great way for me to get in shape, and it also works well with my self-image, identity, all of that. I don't like it for it's beauty, or for "the competition.&

Guns and money...

Tue, 09/29/09 11:48 P GMT-05
No, I did not take my recently earned paycheck and go shootie shopping. No, I deposited it. I did, however, decide that a month was too long without sending some lead downrange, so I went to the range near work, and shot off a box of .45. Just mainta

Today in the mail there arrived the usual odds and ends. However, in one very thin and innocuous looking envelope was something special. My first paycheck.I have been through a lot to get to this point. If you want an idea, read through this blog, al

"Into the wild" review

Mon, 09/21/09 8:29 P GMT-05
So, sunday night I took a break and watched into the wild .I think that this man's story is exactly what happens when a dirty hippie thinks that the world is all lightness and ice cream shitting unicorns prancing on rainbows. Seriously; this kid,

Either he lost a bet, or he is the next Chesty Puller

Sat, 09/19/09 10:25 A GMT-05
I was shocked and delighted to discover that Matt Burden is running for office . The first thing I thought was "He's crazy." The next thing I thought was "He must have lost a bet." Something like "first one to pass out ha

We could trade it for a dog...

Thu, 09/17/09 9:01 P GMT-05
So, while my wife was expressing her concerns about taking care of a child, I responded with "well, we could trade her for a dog......"Which, under any other circumstances would be grounds for a week on the couch, but having been said in je

Damn, but I am busy

Wed, 09/16/09 7:06 P GMT-05
So, the reason I am not blogging much is because I am working everyday, and juggling a new house, a baby on the way, and a new job. I might be able to post something useful in ......May.Respectfully submitted,-doc Russia

So, we have yet to close, but we have an agreement in principle.I am totally stoked! I really like the house that we were looking at. It was a good house in a good neighborhood, and for a good price. Oddly, the first thing that occurred to me wa

shameless ballot box stuffing..

Tue, 09/01/09 11:18 A GMT-05
For those of you who do not enjoy guns or B-movie horror flicks (my wife rolls her eyes at my zombie book fetish), you may not be aware of the Monster Hunter International (MHI) book put out by fellow gun blogger Larry Correia . I got a copy quite a

It took me almost nineteen hours, not including stops to get back to Dallas.At about 7:30pm, central time, I had full wheel stop in Dallas.It *is* great to be back. I did not kiss the ground. I only do that when returning from overseas sh*tholes. Sti

Time is short

Fri, 08/28/09 9:32 A GMT-05
SO, 24 hours from now I will be cranking up the pickup and heading south to Texas. My three year odyssey in Detroit is complete. To be sure, I have made some friends, and I have not been miserable for the most part. That said, I miss my adopted home

More gallows humor

Upon hearing Barack Obama's description of the departed Kennedy "A very accomplished man," she snarked the following:"Hell yeah, he was accomplished.... he got away with murder!" ouch.Respectfully Submitted,-doc Russia

The "Big Boy Rules"

Sat, 08/22/09 2:15 P GMT-05
There was a book which came out some time ago called 'big boy rules' which dealt with contractors in Iraq. This was the first time I had come across this particular reference. Since then, I have heard it used on certain occasions, but it was

Why GM will fail... again.

Tue, 08/18/09 1:39 P GMT-05
So, I just thought that this was an excellent example of why GM needed a bailout. It is also an example of why Obamacare will end up being a "you paid for this, but they gave you that" deal.On the left is the Chevy volt concept car. It is w

Prima Nocte

Sat, 08/08/09 6:08 P GMT-05
So, putting aside personal hardships, I actually had my first shift in this small town ER. I had been recruited by the high pay and the idea that this would be your kind of stereotypical small town ER where you spent most of your time with your feet

Sun, 08/02/09 11:55 A GMT-05
I read this article by way of Grim's Hall .To sum it up; a guy walks into a bank, demands money, Bank teller rushes him, knocks him down, and then chases him until he is caught. Bank teller then holds suspect for authorities.Bank teller then fir
