Packing
Two things here regarding packing:
First, I’m mostly done packing for my trip to Great Britain and France in 5 days. Absolutely amazing, no? I just have to pack shoes, shaving kit, slacks and camera. It’s amazing how close at hand my trip is.
Second, I’m now as far as I can go toward getting my Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm License. I just have to be fingerprinted next May and postmark it on my birthday. Hey, the government already knows I’m a gun-owner, so that’s not an issue. A CW permit is a useful thing to have - trivial things that could otherwise get you a 3rd degree felony are legal when you have that little card, like accidentally driving within 1000 feet of a government building, school, university, etc. with a firearm in your car. I won’t be walking around everywhere I go carrying a .357 revolver behind my hip, but there are situations when being capable of packing would be a useful thing. Besides, it’s my right, and I’m not gonna watch America fall into the same trap that Great Britain has regarding gun crime. The criminals will always have guns. So should the citizens.
Also news, this morning Jay and I went Off-roading in various places. He’s got a real 4×4 SUV that he uses exactly for its intended purpose: lock the center and rear differentials and take 50 degree climbs in soft clay, smashing through foliage, taking punishment and in general fording through mud, undergrowth and forest. This morning was bad-ass as hell, bro! Thank you a bunch. I had a blast!

What do you mean you won’t be packin’ heat everywhere you go?!! I’m sure that there are places where it’s really not necessary…..like….church??? But everywhere else it is a must!
Yeah, whatever, we live on a stupid university, and if we get housing within a 1000 feet of it, does that mean we can legally own? snicker Good question.
Idle question: Will you be online or updating your blog while in Europe? And how will you get your Internet fix while raiding that far off land? 
Probably no updates whatsoever. I’m not even sure about how to manage email. I’ll see what I come up with…
hey, have fun in europe if I don’t talk to you sooner! oh, and they caught the guys who hacked the hl2 source. SANS has the scoop; so does the bbc; I don’t have alink, maybe slashdot does; haven’t checked; done now, ‘night blog.
