(Somehow this didn’t get published in August 2013 when I wrote it, so here you go.)
I’m a link hoarder. And a picture hoarder. I’ve done a good job of dumping a ton of both on here in the last year, but now I’m out of space. And I haven’t bothered to re-up for more space yet. So, instead of doing the logical thing, I’m going for the lazy route.
I have these emails I send to myself, of all these links, to pictures, to neat crap, everything. And I haven’t gotten around to posting all this stuff yet…so here. I’m posting a bunch of it now. I might go back and turn these into viable posts. I might not. For now, here they are, without context (except for the first creepy picture. It’s a painting of the German God of Gods, Wotan (aka Odin, aka the guy Anthony Hopkins played in the movie Thor). The painting came out the year Hitler was born, and, well, Hitler possibly/probably modeled his look on Wotan.

Moment in my life that moved me: I served on the USAF Honor Guard. I was set to plant a Sr. Master Sgt (enlisted guy), way out in central Nebraska. It was a surreal experience, because everyone was so dang nice. There were tons of high-ranking officials, much higher-ranked than this guy, there to see him off. His funeral program showed him not in uniform, but in a Hawaiian shirt with a mug of beer in his hand, and a huge smile on his face. He was very well liked, and it made me want to have known him.

Honest NYC Tourism Commercial (I’ve been to NYC twice now…no wait, 3 times. I get mixed up because everytime I go, it’s like I never left. The memories really seem to flow right into each other. The first time I went [or second, who knows], I was witness to a bus driver vs a taxi driver [while a passenger on the bus]. Much swearing ensured, and the taxi driver got out and smacked the side of the bus several times, all because the bus driver wouldn’t let the taxi cut over 3 lanes in traffic. That was the first ‘real NYC’ memory I have.) (Sorry for my poor grammar, really out of it at the moment.)
