4th Of July To Forget. London! Wait!

Well I spent the 4th of July with "ex" drama. I was suppose to have Natalia at 10pm on the 4th but she refused to drop her off. Even after me pointing out page and line on the schedule, she's still too stupid to read. I decided not to spend the rest of the night with the police at her dad's house. It really makes no difference as the police will do nothing. I did pick her up as usual on Thursday and she had an minor injury to her eye which my ex dismissed as nothing.

Drill weekend over. Again as usual tons of work, but this weekend more than usual. Pretty much all alone a whole day taking care of physicals, blood draws and immunizations. I was actually tired at the end of the day. But I do it proudly. I am one of the very few versatile enough to do every job in the clinic. Got news that I was transferred to another unit. Still part of OHSU Det D out of Camp Pendleton but I have to report to duty next year at EMF Great Lakes, Illinois (correction - for my 2 week annual training). Back to Navy country in Great Lakes. It will suck in the beginning. New place and faces.

Bad news for Anthony Zahn as he tried to take on a car and as usual lost the fight. He will be OK but injuries like these so close to London is not good. I know his spirits are high and this by far will not stop this hard headed boy.

Watching the Tour online didn't last long. Seems like all the streams online are being blocked. When will big media realize that the more people watching the better for them and their sponsors. They rather pay millions in rights and later block viewers so less people watch. Go figure. A couple of big crashes have already changed the chemistry of this race. Some of the overall favorites have already been taken out of the calculation. The sprinters delivered and the first mountain stage was explosive.

On a side note. We lost Andy Griffith as well as Ernest Borgnine this past week. Television lost some of its greats. Tehy no longer make them like these two.

I share one of the No Agenda podcast covers. You deserve to know the truth.
