Aw Geez
On the way to work this evening there was a guy with a "9-11 was an inside job" bumper sticker. Man this pisses me off.
Hefty Hefty! Wimpy Wimpy!
I don't know what the deal is, but twice in the past few weeks my garbage bag has come apart when I lifted it. Bad batch maybe?

Cool shore defense video
Many moons ago I lived on the Presidio of San Francisco as a teenager. It used to be an army base, and at the time it was transitioning to a National Park, but military personnel still lived on it. By the way if you want to live in the house that I did, it's yours for the low low price of $7500 a month in rent, plus utilities, car permit, pet fee, etc. Rare is the city that is more costly to live in than Fairfax, but San Francisco manages to pull it off.
Anywho, the Presidio(and Marin Headlands) is riddled with shore defense batteries. The best preserved is Battery Chamberlain along Baker Beach. Farther South you have Battery Davis which once housed a 16in Casemate gun(extremely similar to the main battery of late model USN battleships).

Ten will get you twenty most folks in San Francisco have never visited these sites. If I go back, I'll probably take pictures.
Anywho, I saw this video of a Taiwanese shore defense gun, which made me think of my time living on the Presidio.

Dammit!
We can spend hundreds of billions of dollars on killing people(or pork projects in congressional districts) but there isn't any money for the Space Program? I call bullshit!

Going for the whole "crazed killer" look
Short-short haircut, unshaven, I'm totally rocking the crazed killer look today. I might add that my hair is now short enough that I can see HUGE gaps and I am well on my way to joining my uncles in being bald before 30.
