Of recent.

Here I am on the last leg of tech training. About 4 more months. Hopefully within the next 2 weeks I will receive my orders to our station, wherever that might be. My school schedule is a wonderful midnight shift...which means I wake up about 9:30pm, get showered, eat, got to school, and get back to my dorm about 9am the next day. So far it hasn't been so bad. The biggest problem is that this means it is not very practical to have Emily and the kids move out here as I would hardly get to see them.

I would appreciate book recommendations as this is basically the only thing I can do in the middle of the night on the weekends while I'm not in school.

Ron Paul got 19,852 votes.

The guy who I voted for, who ACTUALLY ran, got 180,336.

And Obama won.

I've got to say that I am actually kind of excited by this. I am pretty sure his face isn't going to melt off to reveal a face full of grin-teethe.

It's exciting (not too exciting mind you) for many reasons. We will have a "black(ish)" President. He is young. He is sharp. He has a name like a terrorist(s). While he didn't completely blow John McCain out of the water, he did earn the energy of most of the "younger" generation.

Now a lot of older people seem to find this worrisome. I don't think it's really going to be a big deal. So there.

What's most interesting to me is that I will be shipping off to Basic Training January 13, and I believe Obama will be the official President the last week or so of January. He get's at least four years. I get at least four years. It will be interesting to get to know him from the stand point of serving in the military.

That's about it.
