I guess he rubbed the head agent the wrong way. Once convicted, he'll get handed the shaft.

On my first business trip to Boston, I went for a run in the morning. I was only going to run for 3 or 4 miles, but I got hopelessly lost. Fortunately, it was about 7am, and I finally came across a...

I got my Pfizer booster on Monday (two days ago). I felt fine on Monday, but Tuesday I didn't feel great. Today is Wednesday and I'm feeling better, but not 100 percent. This is pretty much what...

It's not an unreasonable assumption. Why else would they give that job to a 24 year old?

I had to explain blockchain to my organization this week. As the name says, it's a chain of blocks that depend on the other blocks in a mathematical way. Somebody can't just add a block (i.e. ) in...

Yes, ASL at ASL Oktoberfest in Cleveland.

Before I ran my first marathon, a veteran runner told me: The halfway point is at 20 miles.

Early in my professional career, I read some financial advice: It's OK to buy a nice house if you can...

About 6 months ago I posted here that I was going to make some significant dietary changes. I've been pretty good with this, and the results have paid off. I have lost about 35 pounds, from the mid...

I've lived in Virginia for 30 years now. When I moved to Fairfax County in 1991, I could not get a CCW permit because it was a may-issue state, and Fairfax County just didn't like guns.

In 1995,...

I ran up to the local cigar shop to replenish my supply. While I was there I asked about pipes. They have a small selection and, since this is my very first pipe, the owner suggested I try a...

I have DeWalt 20V tools, and bought the compressor that uses the same battery. It works great. I have a slow leak in one of my tires and have to fill it up about once a month. It's easy to walk...

Statistical mechanics was my favorite class in grad school.

That class paid off in an odd way. About 10 years ago, I was working for the Army, and I had to become a member of the Army Acquisition...

This evening I had an Ashton Churchill while reading Max Hasting's latest book Operation Pedestal.

When I was in my late teens and early 20s, I used to go to Mexico a lot. Before I turned 21, my friends and I often went to the bars in Tijuana, Rosarito, and Ensenada. I did venture further afield...

Our house is 53 years old. It was a good size for our four-person family, and it's great now that the kids are gone and we've cleaned out their stuff. However, architecturally, it stinks. The main...

We were up in that area at the beginning of the month to attend a wedding. Lodging was over $400 per night. The worst part was the rental car - $1,000 for a Saturday - Wednesday rental.

I had never skied or snowboarded until I took my first snowboard lesson when I was 47.

I've been to both Park City and Jackson Hole. Both were fine places with far better trails than I could...

Way back when I was an undergrad, I worked for a major city as a part-time student engineer. One of the full-time people there told me that one time she had to inspect a rendering plant. After...

I spent 19 years of my career in DoD OT&E. The Sig was not one of my programs, although for a couple of years I sat next to one of the authors of the report that JSGlock cites.

I will say that...

I grew up in California in the 1970s, and some of these problems were around then. I remember reading stories of illegal MJ farms hidden in the mountains, and what happened to people who innocently...

I wanted to join the Navy. I'm deaf in one ear so I knew I couldn't fly, so I wanted to join the sub program. I was doing very well in engineering school, so the recruiter was hot to get me, and my...

That hasn't been the case for me. I've seen many examples of the wrong person getting promoted, for all sorts of reasons. One of my bosses had a thing for attractive blondes. One very attractive...
