Been a ‘lurker’, a ‘member’ or an ‘unperson’ for about ten years now. Just returned [12/24/08] after a brief ‘hiatus’. I’ll add and remove things here as the spirit moves me, but for now...

I was a medic in the US Army [hence my screen name]. I spent the coldest winter of my life at a place called 'Camp Colbern' in the Republic of Korea [1975-1976] as a member of the 3/81st Field Artillery unit. If you served with the unit, check out the link - we may have froze together or you might find someone you remember.

As of today, 1 July 09,2008, I've changed my home state flag from Massachusetts to Texas. I'm hitch-hiking to Dallas from Boston starting 2 3 July 09 [It's still raining here. Getting caught on the road in bad weather is one thing, but knowingly venturing forth into it is crazy!]. It seems like Texas is the last place in the country where the inhabitants still have sense.

Pet Peeves:

1. The present administration.
2. Massachusetts.
3. Sanctuary cities.
