“May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.”


"This report is maybe 12-years-old. Parliament buried it, and it stayed buried till River dug it up. This is what they feared she knew. And they were right to fear because there's a whole universe of folk who are gonna know it, too. They're gonna see it. Somebody has to speak for these people. You all got on this boat for different reasons, but you all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything I know this, they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, 10, they'll swing back to the belief that they can make people . . . better. And I do not hold to that. So no more running. I aim to misbehave." ~ Captain Malcom Reynolds

Rode hard, put away wet

Yep, this week played rodeo all over my butt...

Homicide-in-progress callout to stand by for a possible explosive entry...

Numerous suspect items calls (to include four in one day)...

Several "OMG the sky is falling" meetings on a grant audit...

Staff crisis mode following events asking us to prepare equipment and contingencies we've been asking for over the past two years, and to have it done last week or earlier...

Attempts to fit normal bomb squad training, time with the dog, time with the family, gym, meals, etc. in the midst of all this...

A wife who is still medically under the weather and me not able to help as much as I should...

There were other events that blurred through the past several days, but you all get the idea. I feel like hanging out in the stall & recovering tonight. Have some actual time off the next few days, so see if I can get back to things here.

Understood. I hope you get the down-time you and your family need.
