So there I was, riding through Luxembourg. As I was staring out the window, fascinated by the scenery, I thought to myself "screw the language barrier, THIS is where I want to settle down; this is where I want to spend the rest of my life." It was like something out of a postcard. Everything was the perfect shade of green. Rolling hills swept the landscape, with small villages in between. Quaint, picturesque villages, so compact that one could get by without a motor vehicle. They weren't polluted with factories or outlet malls in the towns. There were the occasional mills and such, but they were situated between these collections, as not to obstruct the uninterrupted lives of the locals. Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. If there's anywhere in the world that I would love to visit again, it would be Luxembourg.

Belgium was a shit hole.

Hey kids. It's been a while. My bad.

Got back from Germany last weekend. We ended up taking a bus, which took us through England, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany. I'm heading back to Missouri in a couple of weeks. Woo hoo. I'll be going back for 7-Level training (right now, I'm a 5-level), and CBRN Responders. What's CBRN, you ask? It's Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear weapons. Let's say that there's a letter at the post office leaking white powder; who's going to go in there and tell if it's the powder is dangerous or not. On a USAF installation, it's me and my guys. That's what CBRN Responders is for, just honing in that peacetime response skill.

Went golfing on Sunday. Had fun. I think I'll start doing it more often.

Finals this week in Public Health. I've still got meteorology going on, and I start Environmental Science next week. After that, I'm finished with my Bachelor's. Go team, go.

I'm tired. I'm getting old.

I test for promotion in March/April, and find out in July if I made it. If I make Technical Sergeant (TSgt) (E-6), then I'm pretty sure I'll stay in.

Oh, and DJ Black Hat and I have decided on the name for the fifth album. Any requests for songs to write?

That's about the highlight of things for now. Pictures to come soon. Take it easy, little ones.

Always
