What are we the United States of China? Seriously. It's disgusting. It says a lot that we can't even make our own uniforms for the game. You know because we should trust the Chinese... The stitches will probably fall out midway through. I mean come on we all KNOW they cheated in Beijing. Those gymnasts TOTALLY didn't look of age.

Hopefully the alcohol here isn't produced in China. Who's heard of a good Chinese beer? I think I might have to investigate that first hand.

As more of these blasted cars have parts ran by electrical circuits I'm finding my skills are needed less and less. I spent three hours this morning trying to get the timing chain on a stupid Volkswagen to work. I tweaked it, tightened it, loosened it, did everything imaginable. The problem, a fuse in the circuit box was blocking a connection somewhere. Once the burnt fuse was replaced everything was working fine. Damn thing was manifesting like a worn belt so I treated it like a faulty belt. Hell, the belt even had some decent wear on it.

I'm getting too old for this shit.

E-mails, text messages, thumb-up icons, commentary on blog entries, crippled, butchered and slaughtered writing attempts - all of it virtual, none of it tangible.

Modern man is present everywhere and leaves not a single trace behind.

Letter writing is a dying art. It's a pity and a shame.

Today was "therapy" day for me. It didn't go as horribly as I expected when we talked about how I didn't handle the fourth very well, even though I didn't hear much of it. The lights and the sound I did hear though, yeah, not dealing too well with it. We talked about coping techniques and then my therapist brought up an idea I hadn't thought about, but don't actually mind.

'A pet would be a good idea'. She told me, and mentioned that in my line of work, it could be helpful. So now I've got a brochure on Hearing Dogs, and how to apply for one. They could train it both to hear things for me, and to deal with me when I get...funny.

I'm not sure if I'm ready for that, actually. The last pet that I had...I had to leave her behind when I came back here. The Fucking Army can expend everywhere else, but it can't let me bring home my kitten.

...I didn't even know that one still pissed me off. I guess it's all the dog business that's making me think about it. If I'm ready for an animal in my life again, and well, if I want to admit that I need help when I'm out in public. A dog would make me visible, point out that I'm the guy that doesn't hear too well and everything else. On the other hand, it might be nice to have something furry to sit with on the couch again, and this time have it able to help me.


I'm thinking about it anyway...

Mugged.

It was all over very quickly and rather disappointing in most respects. Wouldn't have even bothered to call the police but alas and alack the witness across the street at Starbucks was idiotic kind enough to do it for me.

I think I broke someone's nose last night. Possibly more than one nose. Or possibly loosened some teeth, judging from the state of my knuckles.

They also hit back, judging from my face and other bruises.

I had the worst hangover earlier.

We had a huge 4th of July sale here at the shop, because the best way to celebrate Independence is by recognizing your right to bear arms. The shop is a mess and I think I officially need to hire on a new hand.

Looking for a job? Stop by Lucky Shot Guns and prove to me you're as anal retentive as I am about the proper care and maintenance of firearms.

Alice! Come by the shop soon. Bring the black top hat. I'm officially joining your club.

Lastly, does anyone know a Logan?

The things people think they can get away with in a Library just because the stacks are mostly deserted and everyone keeps quiet...

I saw you two! For shame! That's so not right. Those books are going to be scarred for life. Think of all the therapy costs.

I suggest the media viewing room for that kind of thing. It has a lock on the door, and film reels are far less sensitive to what gets rubbed up against them.

I'm thinking of heading to Reno for the National VFW conference. There's a memorial ride so my bike is a must. Anyone fancy accompanying an old man for the week? It's the 20th through the 26th. No strings, just the opportunity to escape this place for awhile.

Man, anyone see the specs on the Falcon HTV-2? That thing is fucking ridiculous. Granted, unmanned so it's still just a big video game in the sky, but still.
