I was sooo confused until you lifted the scales from my eyes and brought the light to my poor misguided soul. Oh, wait... I'm getting you confused with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mopkn0lPzM8">THE ONE</a>. My apologies, it's so easy to get off track when HE is mentioned. Here I thought I had been doing my patriotic duty by serving my country for 30 years. Apparently, sacrificing blood, sweat and tears was the wrong approach, <strong><em>all I had to do was write a check to the US Treasury!</em></strong> Gee, I feel so silly. I could have skipped all the long hours, stress, family separation, injuries, lost friends and other issues if someone had told me this long ago.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4880244411897697573-929452318502914906?l=marylandcolddeadfingers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ColdDeadFingershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298686791697809061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880244411897697573.post-87504365884719029302008-09-11T23:16:00.000-04:002008-09-11T23:22:23.773-04:00Hard to believe it's been seven years since we were attacked. It seems like the nutroots are more interested in fighting global warming(?) than global terrorism. Hmm... should I worry about polar bears or some islamic terrorist blowing up my family and friends with a nuke?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4880244411897697573-8750436588471902930?l=marylandcolddeadfingers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ColdDeadFingershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298686791697809061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880244411897697573.post-87722075473889464102008-09-11T22:41:00.000-04:002008-09-11T22:43:57.322-04:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgndqnC-6oM/SMnXXmR2RlI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Q51NN7lAEnE/s1600-h/obama+time+cover+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244960041462023762" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgndqnC-6oM/SMnXXmR2RlI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Q51NN7lAEnE/s320/obama+time+cover+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>My first attempt at photoshop, but I think you get the idea. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4880244411897697573-8772207547388946410?l=marylandcolddeadfingers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ColdDeadFingershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298686791697809061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880244411897697573.post-91792624644784397312008-05-03T20:10:00.000-04:002008-05-03T20:20:53.039-04:00This is my initial attempt at starting a blog, so please bear with me.
