tick tock

Wow I am almost done with the Air Force....I have another couple of weeks of work left and that's it. 13 years, 4 months, and 10 days will be the official count when it's all said and done with...that's a long damn time. When I started out, it was more for a change than anything, I thought I would do 4 years and that would be it...well, one thing led to another to another to another. So my time is winding down, kinda like a clock about to strike midnight.

But this means me getting to move to Dallas soon, which will be good for a lot of different reasons. But one of them I am most looking forward to is I will not spend anywhere near as much time in my car as I have been. Now, I like my car, it is pimptastic and has cool things like heated seats, automatic steering wheel memoryy, hydraulic cupholders, among other things. And it's fast. But man, the driving is getting old. Just the other day I thought I saw some road workers putting up a road sign that said "Dallas - Temple: The Westheimer Memorial Hwy" which made me kinda nervous, because usually "memorial" implies that the object that is memorial is usually dead, haha.

Anyway, what is up with gas prices??? Seems like one minute gas is $2.61 a gallon, then I turn around after watching The Family Guy and now it's $2.90??? what the? Are oil executives playing wheel of fortune with gas prices? "Go ahead, Jimmy Ray Exxon, spin the wheel and let's see what super duper unleaded is gonna be today?"

And why am I paying 15 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity in Texas, where a lot of the oil refinieries are, and my mom is paying like 7 cents in northern bum$%^ Minnesota where there is a noticeable lack of oil refinieries? Huh, TXU are you listening??? Bastards.

I think I will spend the next couple of days planning on how to build my own pocket-sized nuclear reactor in my spare bedroom, haha.

See you in Wichita Falls next Friday!!!!
