Time is fleeting
Monday, 9 July 2007 | 106 readers so far
With the recent departure of my departmental number two at work, my free time has dropped from little to none.
I will mention in passing a few developments that have meaning in my life. I am only a few credits away from a bachelor’s degree in information technology. That is exciting, as I have been working on the degree nights and weekends for five years (minus a year off for war duties). I’ll move on to a graduate degree, but I haven’t decided what yet.
I bought my wife a Beretta Tomcat as her primary carry gun thanks to a recommendation from Gringo Malo. I wish she was as excited about shooting it as I am, but not everyone loves shooting for the sake of shooting. My wife used her .22 only once that I am aware of when she came upon an opossum which had just been run over and was suffering. She fired an entire clip into the wounded creature in order to end its pain. I hated that little .22 - it had three safeties on it. Three! If you are clumsy enough or forgetful enough or careless enough that you need three safeties on your pistol, you shouldn’t have a pistol. That’s just my opinion, and I’m glad I sold that gun to someone who liked the idea of three safeties.
Last but not least, my post requesting a Tasmanian pen pal has borne fruit, and I am in the beginning stages of a correspondence that I hope will prove educational and interesting in the long term.
Have you ever been reflecting on how quickly you run out of time to do something? I have run out of time to do almost everything I enjoy most. Luckily, I know that these things tend to come in cycles and so I do not despair when the work pace becomes outrageous. I will make up for it by stealing back minutes here and hours there at some point in the future.

Hi Trevor,
Have you gone private? Your site comes through now as black on white with only a single column and without a public comment button.
Anyway, I was glad to read your of 7/9 and learn a little bit about how you are and what you’re up to.
I’m studying (not enough) for my (tax) Enrolled Agent exam. I have until Dec to pass the Business portion, then I would have to retake all three sections again.
Mom has a cough she can’t get rid of (after 6 weeks, with antibiotics, an inhaler), so she has been referred to a pulmonologist.
We had a great trip to Ontario and Ohio. (Thanks for the Father’s Day remembrance.)
Keep in touch.
Love,
Dad

Hey Trevor…
Hope your adjusting ok…I am sure that not having Kinnaman 12 inches up your rectum is helping out some. Did you start your militia yet? If there is food and lodging provided, count me in. Just remember, when the shit hits the fan…I love your balls brother. Take care of yourself.

I’m a fan of your blog, but never comment. I found the following story at Foxnews.com this morning and thought you might find it amusing.

Sorry for the lack of a clickable link. I suck at HTML.

Don’t worry about the HTML Matt. As far as the article goes, I can appreciate irony as much as the next guy, and that story is full of it.

Wow it’s like having a penis.
Kudos to Matt for the FoxNews link.
Every deist transhumanist libertarian minarchist should turn to the Christian Identity news network.

Was that the titanium Tomcat?

No, they didn’t have one in stock, although I may special order one now.

I’m a Japanese student.
Reading “The World Almanac”(It is my English class text), I found your blog and had read since June. I have never commented, but I often read your blog.
