25 years old. Before the Internet. Before dispatching. Before Ham Radio-ing. Still in denial, and barely aware of it. Still slinging chicken and burgers. (Same month as Best CheeseBurger in town!) Noticing several things about this picture: Still sleeping on the same waterbed! Still have the CB radio (don’t use it). Still have the table the CB and the shortwave are sitting on. Still have the stereo that’s barely visible (do use it), although that turntable died years ago. Still have the picture that’s on the wall behind me (it’s of the Space Shuttle on the launch pad). The hair on my chest is now thicker than the hair on my head (and the chest hair is not all that much thicker today than then!). I have gained a few pounds in the interim. But only a few. I think that robe may be in the back of my closet somewhere.

Slightly freaky afterthought…
It’s been longer since that picture was taken, than from my birth to that day!

The Head Qs at QueerLandia.com decided to present a few Presidents on the site in honor of President’s Day. I had earlier in the week posted one about Abraham Lincoln, but here’s one on the President who served the shortest term in office. Meet Will Harrison, the 9th POTUS.

The Southern California Edison and AT&T Universal Card websites are supposed to be UP when I want to give them money! Carmax was ready to take my money, but I’d already paid them this month, so that was nice. Even my cranky bank’s site was up and available. Now I have to wait until tomorrow. They really shouldn’t do that, I might not be in the mood to pay them tomorrow!
Sheese!
UPDATE!: More

I Want YOU - For The US Air Force!
On December 22, 2010, I posted this picture and a link to NOH8’s website where it and others of military men affected by Don’t Ask Don’t Tell could be found.
Now the latest news about the status of Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach, the Air Force officer in this picture:
The South Bend Tribune reports that the Air Force has informed Lt. Col. Fehrenbach that he will be retired with his full rank and pension on October 1, 2011. This effectively cancels the discharge proceedings that were in progress since he was involuntarily outed in 2008.
“It was a great sense of relief. I didn’t expect it,” said Fehrenbach, 41, a 1991 University of Notre Dame graduate, in a telephone interview with the Tribune Tuesday from Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho.
For nearly three years, Fehrenbach has been in a battle to save his career because of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy — a policy that was overturned in late 2010.
With no further explanation, the military in January sent Fehrenbach new orders: Effective Sept. 30, he will be retired from active duty at his current rank and with his pension. He’ll serve out the remaining months of his military duty at his current desk job at the base in Idaho.
