New addition to the blogroll

I was reading Old NFO(http://oldnfo.blogspot.com/) this morning and decided to add him to the blogroll.  His most recent posts deal with the watering down of the can do spirit America was once famous for.  Other posts deal with traveling and political commentary.  If you like this blog, his is right up your alley.  Not to mention, he’s a mustang, and those are the best kind of officers.

Second year resolutions for my blog

I have decided to do a New Year’s resolution of sorts for this blog.

• After reading some old posts, use spell check.
• Be way more consistent.
• Find a new weekly feature and stick to it.

I done had it with this stuff

The time has come for The Snipe to speak out again.  I have been quiet long enough.  There is a season for everything.  Kudos to the Navy SEALs for bringing Peace Through Superior Firepower to the pirates.  A hearty F off to DHS for saying I am a right wing “extremist”.  The Don’t Tread On Me flag has flown from many a US Navy warship defending the Constitution that many now wish to trample on.  I think the Oath Keepers are on to something.   They are fixin’ to be added to my blogroll.   As a matter of record, I refuse to fire on US citizens other than in defense of self and others, as *I* see it. 

Ecclesiastes 3

A Time for Everything

 ¹ There is a time for everything,
       and a season for every activity under heaven:

 ² a time to be born and a time to die,
       a time to plant and a time to uproot,

 ³ a time to kill and a time to heal,
       a time to tear down and a time to build,

 ⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh,
       a time to mourn and a time to dance,

 ⁵ a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
       a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

 ⁶ a time to search and a time to give up,
       a time to keep and a time to throw away,

 ⁷ a time to tear and a time to mend,
       a time to be silent and a time to speak,

 ⁸ a time to love and a time to hate,
       a time for war and a time for peace

A new reader

Apparently I have a new reader.  I am going to reciprocate and add Walrilla’s Wandering to my blogroll.

New link

I have posted a link to The Ambulance Driver Files.  AD, as he is known in his blog, drives what my young cousin calls a Doctor Truck.  I have a semi-professional interest in emergency medicine.  For the time being, on the great big floaty thing, I am a stretcher bearer.  That is kind of like Field Medic Jr.  We stabilize the wounded and carry them to the actual medics.  “Next higher echelon of care” is the military word.  I have also responded to various(OK 1) medical mishaps as a Good Samaritan.  The fact was, I had sufficent training, and those around me were panicking.  I took charge, along with a former Army Ranger, and we did the ABC thing until the real live paramedics showed up.  It was a learning experience.  A real person is not our “Oscar” dummy, or Rescue Randy.  The worst thing was, it was a seizure, and all we could do was keep the poor young lady comfortable until the paramedics arrived.  Full story later to come.

Yee-haw

I made the Pirate Fleet.  The Pirate King has added me to his ships of the fleet section.  Check him out at http://pirate-king.com
