Good Ol' Fashion Run Around.

Reading a book I never thought I would read, but I am reading The Ox-Bow Incident. An American classic and been curious what the story was about. It may take me a bit to get through it as it is not the genre I read but I do love western movies and maybe I may strike interest.

Uneventful days at work and as I get closer to leaving the only thing I am looking forward to is not working where I work for sometime. I do know many new faces will be seen on my return and hope our store manager is still there but doubtful.

Drill weekend done and one more to go as I have to be at the next drill for my eval. Hopefully it gets done before then. This drill weekend opened my eyes and changed my attitude. I got the run around myself and treated like an idiot (new song in the unit - I'm an Idiot manamana). The reserve center is a place where it gets people ready for the mobilization process and where most don't know anything and just give you the run around. Amazing things get done. Again probably not. I could never do that to my patients. Amazed little things the staff can do there simply don't help you out instead tell you to go find out. Will active duty be the same? Probably, but I go with that mentality.

Ordered some the new RA Salvatore book, The Companions as it under $10 in Amazon and it will be the first in the new series of so many books in the universe. Also jumped in and got a card game as I have been curious for some time and hope to get into gaming and board games. Also ordered me a new copy of Superman Vs. Muhammad Ali which is a classic and one I've been wanting for years. Was thinking of getting the original edition (original size) but I'm not rich and always wanted this classic.

Word around here is fires. It is that time of the season all the way to October where every community is in danger of some kind of fire. Right now fires around the mountain and I hope none creep up as I don't need that stress right now. Talking about fires on Friday night leaving my parents the house next door which has been empty for some time looks like found a buyer and a bunch of kids were outside with a huge bonfire. My Dad freaked but politely told them to put it down. Me? I was not going to be so polite. I was almost ready to call the fire dept so they can have words with these kids. This is a very touchy subject up here.

Below is a short video of the Clasica San Sebastian (Klasika Donosti) which is one of my favorites to see and course. The last kilometers from the base of Jaizkibel are always hard. Good luck understanding the language.
