Hello everyone,
A shorter post today. Gearing up for redeployment and will have a few of these "odd" days where I may be busier than usual and not able to write very much.
Everything is going well...no snafu's to speak of...yet. I did read an interesting short story in our newspaper today. As much as I have railed against our Congress in it's short-sightedness and obvious fact that it enjoys being able to do things that would land you or I in prison...again regarding the failed Stock Act of 2011.... I have found extreme greed in lower seats of local government...presenting,
Harry Thomas Jr., who until last Thursday was a Washington DC council member. In short, he has been charged with extorting more than $350,000 in government funds that had been earmarked ( really ) for youth sports and arts programs. He admitted that he spent the money on.....are you ready?? A luxury SUV, travel to exclusive golf courses and clothing. Let's give a huge round of applause...to Harry, who admitted as much and resigned his seat on the council as part of a plea agreement. Hmmmmmm....no jail maybe? Ah, the life in politics must be wonderful... to be free from persecution...if that's the direction it goes...which is unlikely.
Have a great...uh..Monday everyone.
Trevor
