Here's What I Woke Up To:

Every morning I peak out the window to see how many layers of clothing I will need. This morning I looked out onto a white world. We've finally got our snow!

It hasn't been warm, as you can tell by the thermometer picture. It's been in the low 20's at night. I really need to dig my block heater out of my engine. It's still tied up to the firewall, where the person who installed it left it. I need to run the cord out of the grill, so I can use it.

I'm not looking forward to class tomorrow, I'll be getting my Calc test back. I'm sure I bombed it. Another reason I should have spent the weekend studying. Did I? No. Had a couple other things to tend to. Like hockey games for one. I love watching the Aces. They play on this whole other level.

I ran in to a couple of Marines at the game. They were from the local recon unit. They gave me the number to the unit so I can make plans to come see the place. I need to check it out before I commit to anything.

For some reason I can't type tonight. My fingers keep hitting the wrong damn keys.

I've been feeling like ranting recently. The school paper ran an article covering an Alaskan's for Peace and Justice rally at the school in the issue the blog article came out in. This group is constantly putting on anti-whatever rallies and they seem to do most of their recruiting at the college. I see their fliers all over.

I'm always tempted to pull them down and throw them away. I resist this temptation because it would violate the principles that I served to uphold. They have the right to their opinion, however wrong it may be.

Anyway, I find myself becoming increasingly annoyed with these idiots. There has been an increase in the number of "Support Our Troops: Bring Them Home" bumper stickers around campus. Don't these Douche Bags realize what they are saying? The Alaskans for Peace and Justice want the Iraqis left high and dry. They want us to pull out our troops and leave democracy seeking people to be slaughtered. Where's the peace and justice in that?

Anyway, I'll post more rant later. I'm just not energetic enough right now. Besides, my fingers keep hitting the wrong damn keys.

Enjoy the Pics.
