There is a lot of fuss over the government eavesdropping on calls and emails. As if this was all something new.
We knew about this 15 years ago.  Wired Magazine covered this when the program was called “Carnivor”.  And even then it was old hat.
If you are just now getting worried about this… you’re late to the game.

Auto makers have been putting back up cameras on cars for some years now.  Its proven to be solid tech.
Every bike I’ve ever owned, the mirrors show me what my elbows look like.  And I don’t have a neck like an owl.
Put rear view cameras on the bike and a small display where the mirrors are, so we can know what’s behind us and if we can change lanes safely.  A head check might not catch that guy coming up on you at high speed.
This shouldn’t add more than 500 bucks to a brand new bike.

It’s interesting living outside of a Marine base.  One can occasionally hear the rapid fire reports of small arms, and the overhead flights of V-22 Osprey and heavy Chinook helicopters.
At any eating establishment one can overhear the conversations of Grunts… The topic of shooting is common.  I feel at home here.  Even if I’m addressed as Sir by these young Grunts… America’s warriors.  So young, they still have spots.  Can’t yet grow facial hair… Yet they are our front lines.  The tip of the spear that is our national will. 
Observing them, I am impressed.  Well behaved, clean cut, razor sharp physically and mentally.
I’m proud of them all.  They are our Nation’s Sons… Our best and brightest… So much potential if they were in any other industry… Yet they are willing to lay down their lives at the command of a Government that spends them so cheaply.  This saddens me, and fills me with pride at the same time… Because they are our warriors. 

The humidity in Jax is comfortable to me. Weather is warm now, soon to be hot.  But I’m enjoying it.
My laptop died during the move. I’ve no internet at home.  So vids, posts, and writing is going to be infrequent at best for awhile.  I’ll need to get a new phone too.  I’ll need a local number.  T-Moble sucks here as much as it did in Vernal.  Didn’t think that was possible… So I will be looking at Verizon. 
Overall, everything is as expected and I’m happy to be here.  Things will be better once I get some furniture, utilities, and such… But we are doing fine.

First off, even though I’m going to work for G-Code, I am still in love with my holsters from Adams Holsters.  Luke’s custom leather work does spoil a guy.  My Sharkhide rigs are a step above and beyond.  For anyone looking for good leather, I will continue to recommend Adams Holsters. Even if you don’t want Shark.
When it comes to Kydex, I’ve always recommended G-Code.  Nothing has changed there.  I have a G-Code holster for my 1911 and from my Beretta.  I also have a REAC Rig, which is one of the original Drop Leg rigs from G-Code.  Always been a fan.  My mag holders I use in training and IDPA has been G-Code.

Secondly, I am not a cross between Dr. Cox and Dr. House. I’m just an Ogre.  I’ve always been an ogre.  Severe of opinion and judgmental.  In fact, the first nickname I had as a child was “The Judge”.  I’m not making that up.   They called me that.  Grandparents did.  I can’t help it.  I’m a natural born critic.  I’m not mean… that’s just who I am.  Just know this, more than anything… I’m most judgmental and critical about myself.  I beat myself up to the point of near death… That’s just me.  So cut me some slack on that.  K?
