Disclaimer

If you do not know me (I mean, really know me) then there is something you need to understand before you read this blog: I value the truth above everything else... except a good laugh. A good laugh will almost always beat the truth as far as I’m concerned. Everything you read on this blog will be true, somewhat true, or something I made up in an effort to get a laugh. Sometimes I will go on a rant that I don’t really mean (or only kind of mean). Sometimes I will mean what I write only to completely change my mind a year, month, or day later. Such is life. By reading this blog you agree not to get offended by anything I write (or, at the very least, you agree not to tell me or anyone else that you are offended). It is worth noting that my employer does not endorse my blog (or even read it, to tell you the truth). The Wife also does not endorse my blog (though she will read it from time to time). I am not paid to write this... it’s just my way of giving back to the community. I have, and will, touch on a wide range of subjects and will give my opinion on these subjects. Again, most of what I say is for laughs but every now and then I will say what I really think and feel (see my views on Westboro Baptist Cult). How will you know when I’m serious and when I’m trying to get a laugh? You’ll know. And if you don’t know, well... maybe this isn’t the best thing for you to be reading. So, sit back, read and enjoy. Leave comments if you want and don’t be afraid to publicly follow me.

Weigh-in…

Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

Captain William L. Heermance (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on April 30, 1863, at Chancellorsville, Virginia. His citation reads:

Took command of the regiment as its senior officer when surrounded by Stuart's Cavalry. The regiment cut its way through the enemy's line and escaped but Capt. Heermance was desperately wounded, left for dead on the field and was taken prisoner.

Private Henry William Heisch (US Marine Corps) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on June 20, 1900, at Tientsin, China. His citation reads:

In action against the enemy at Tientsin, China, 20 June 1900. Crossing the river in a small boat while under heavy fire, Heisch assisted in destroying buildings occupied by the enemy.

Private Clamor Heise (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions from August to October 1868, in Arizona. His citation reads:

Bravery in scouts and actions against Indians.


We had a great time yesterday at the Casa de Carter for Aubrey’s 4th Birthday party. I had to go into the office to get some work done yesterday (yes, state employee’s do sometimes work on the weekend) and Aubrey’s party was the perfect excuse for me to not work too late. I will say the Carters know how to throw a great party. I might put them in charge of my 34th birthday party (or at least my 40th). I was late getting to the party, so I guess I missed the time for adult pony rides. Bad for me… but good for the pony.

The walk is this coming Saturday… So keep the donations coming! Go here to give.
