... or transfer to TCSO (Travis County Sheriff's Office). ;) I kinda doubt it, but it's worth considering. :) Second week done. Test score; 98 %. Muscles aren't as sore, and today we went through a CS gassing. That wasn't fun, but not as bad as I expected. This past Monday and Tuesday we assisted i...

Home for the weekend. First full week of the Academy completed with a test score of 92 %. Four weeks to go. The in-flow of knowledge sometimes can be overwhelming. Our lesson plan book is about 6 inches thick. Of course, no one expects us to retain all information. So many thing to learn, from TDCJ ...

Thank you, dear Lady and Sir. Rest assured, the eyes in the back of my head are reopening. I do have several advantages going for me. The 20 years I mentioned. Several family members who have been or are correctional officers. Plus I know the inmates ( oh how un-PC of me. Must watch that.) will scre...

Every now and then we, or at least I, need a change of pace. I turned 48 last month. I'm reaching the point where, as Captain Picard said; There are more days behind me that there are in front. After 20 + years as a Private Security Officer, a profession I enjoy, there's just no challenge in it anym...

Me too.

Well now that I'm not tipsy, and off work...
Thanks for the answers. And thanks for the birthday wishes.
And yeah, Biker, the wine was good. Cheep but good.
And thank you Saints for the B-day present!
Cheers, Badspell.

I guess Racehorse would be the best person to ask, but I'll ask and anyone with a good answer ... go for it. Let's say you buy an acre of land. You've paid it off in full and you didn't, and don't plan to sell it. Yet every year you still have to pay taxes on it. Why is that? I didn't have to pay ta...

That my Saints are IN the Superbowl is a dream come true for me.
For them to win .... Oh man, I don't know if I could handle it. But it sure would be fun to try.

And maybe next Superbowl will be Cleavland's turn. They've never been ether.

The "Star Trek" canon from the original series is still in tact. The new movie takes place in an alternate universe/reality. The movie deliberately makes this point obvious. If it did not, I would be upset too. I would not accept a reimaging of the original series and thankfully this is n...

Somehow I managed to miss this thread until now, or just chose to stay out of it. You see I frequent a site called Starship Modeler (cuz I like building plastic models) and a lot of those guys are a rabid bunch when it comes to star trek "cannon". They've been blasting this movie from the ...

Domo arigato, Linnea-san.

You know, I'm not really much of a sports fan, but this is a special case. They're the home team, plus I've always had a soft spot for an underdog.

Well, I could die happy with my dream fulfilled. Finally the Saints are going to the Superbowl .... and before I'm too old to enjoy it.

We will probably be hearing more about this in days to come. I rather hope the issue is not fully brought before the USSC, given the politicization of this court since the Bush V Gore decision. Some argue, and fairly I believe, these issues should not have been taken up by the USSC to begin with. T...

How many years ago was it that the courts decided corporations counted as persons, with the same rights? IMO that's where the problem started. Where was the outrage then? Yeah I know. I don't much like having it rubbed in my face ether. I just hope the corporate overlords don't create a new sport ca...

Give ya two guesses who I'm rootin for.
