Ten Seconds of Fame … Lex Style
I thought that not only the Lex Babes (you know who are you) but also a few others might be interested in this video I stumbled across today.
Just in case you were wondering if you would really like to go for a spin with Lex on his weekend job. This should help you decide. Don’t be [...]

Day hike on The King’s Pathway
I’ll alway love a great hike in the wilderness. Within a few hours of our doorstoop we have Yosemite, Lassen Peak and all manner of natural attractions. Truly blessed are we.
There was a time when I’d be nuts enough to try to hike El Caminito del Rey, a concrete walkway along a vertical walled gorge in Malaga Spain. [...]

It was a nice gig, wasn’t it?
The downsizing of the Navy continues. The Captain’s gig is going the way of teak plank flight decks and AvGas.
Carrier skippers are losing a traditional status symbol under a Navy directive issued in January. The captain’s gig, the motorboat set aside to ferry commanding officers to shore when their ships are anchored away from land, [...]

New Travel Slogan
This video has been circulating the internets today.
Assuming its legit, and it looks to be, you might want to consider a new travel slogan. Something like BYOG … Bring Your Own Glass.
Not that that will necessarily make you feel any better about what else may or may not be happening in your hotel room.

The forbidden Ahmadi honeymoon video
You thought the Italians knew how to have a wedding. It’s nuthin’ compared to these two.
The delicacy of the young frail lass mentioned in Lex’s post is too much to behold. Think of the joys this young couple shared on their first magic night together.

Canadian v. U.S. Security … Or Home At Last
Would you be surprised to learn that a United States Government Accountability Report released yesterday cited major failures by the US Customs and Border Protection at their ‘Ports of Entry”, with the result that “several thousand” individuals who were inadmissible under the immigration law, were nevertheless permitted to enter the country?
This despite “significant progress in [...]

News from the Front
Hey everybody,
Just a note to let y’all know I’m doing OK. I have been in Indoc/training since the 7th. It is somewhat on the warm side over here, with daytime temp’s @ 125-130. I have been drinking copious amounts of water and gatoraid. The chow is excellent! All you can eat, and much better than [...]

San Antonio Rose Lioness*
[Bumped up, since I've feeling unloved and ignored. *sniffle*]
I’m headed to San Antonio, Texas next this weekend (Thursday-Sunday, August 2-5) on Soldiers’ Angels/Valour-IT business. I also have flight layovers in Las Vegas late Wednesday night (2.5 hours. Ugh!) and in Phoenix on Sunday afternoon.
Any fellow readers/bloggers/friends out that way who think they [...]

Where Jeopardy is part 2
OldRetiredChief won the last one, so let’s see who can get this.
This one is a little harder. Let’s say 30 points this time.
Remember, keep those responses in the form of a question.
P.S. Ladies, I’m sorry I’m not in uniform for this one. Well, you might consider this a “liberty uniform”.
HINT:Â The “ruins” I’m standing in front [...]
