Fearsome Twosome

Fearsome Twosome is what Natalia called us on Thursday. Another great few days with Natalia and Thursday we hit the bookstore, comic book store and stuffed our faces with shrimp tacos. Friday we went back down to the bookstore for Minion day and it was OK. Not really any effort for activities and it felt forced on the store but Natalia won the final prize which was a poster of Scarlet Overkill. We also picked up a few more figures for Heroscape and Saturday was Star Wars day at the bookstore and another trip was made. This one I was unable to make it and my parents took her. Sadly I missed that activity.

The Navy finally screwed me over this weekend. Seems the new Navy is becoming automated and trying to take out the human intervention. I was pushed to a volunteer unit as I failed to log on to a system that works part of the time. Even after I received order to 4th Marines Airwing. Those orders they cancelled and stuck me in a volunteer unit not being paid. The good news is I no longer have to put up with my older unit and its lack of leadership and huge favoritism. I am now in a non paid status but with opportunities still to pick up side "orders" and among great people with the "no nonsense" politically correctness attitude. I may be concentrating in the funeral honors and hopefully do those for side money and the great honor that comes with that task.

This weekend our area got hit pretty good with rain and much welcomed. Haven't seen so much activity like this in the two days it hit. Hope to see more rain as it is being said we may get this winter. But again weather forecasters are usually never right. Other than predicting global warming and the end of civilization!

Rant: This weekend as well at the Navy reserve center I was not fully amazed at the "bullshit" security implemented. I feel bad for those that feel it was actual security. I went ahead and pointed this out and some was fixed the next day. But what I am still amazed is how the Navy and I am sure other branches choose and pass orders that force us to cower and take measurements to show we are not in the military. Hide your uniform, don't wear your uniform in public or worse be seen wearing it. Wow! What's next, make sure all our flags are taken down at home and any identifying images/items.  But no surprise that our president now chooses to honor the incident by lowering the flag a week later, after so much complaints were made and I am sure were finally seen by this administration. Thanks, but no thanks. Let worry more about a drug addict like Whitney Huston whom contributed nothing to this nation but giving her this honor.
