Appalachian Patria

Appalachian Intellectual. To me that means plain thinking. I am A Non Commissioned Officer in the Army Reserves. Let me say...My views expressed here are mine and not those of The U.S. Army, Army Reserve or my fellow brethren in The National Guard. This is entirely Sua Sponte. This is My Thinking. I'm single and in my mid 30's. Politicaly, I'm a Libertarian. (Again, Sua Sponte.I do not represent the Libertarian Party.)I love my native Appalachia, Rock n Roll and...I love God.

Location: Brevard, North Caroilina

I started blogging for two reasons. I was concerned about the changes to the area I live in, Southern Appalachia and I was about to go to the war. I was in Iraq in 06 and 07 and now Kuwait in 11 and 12. Blogging was a means of documenting my experiences and hoping it would help gain clarity. I don't feel that way about it any more. It's said people write blogs because they are frustrated, that's why people read them too. That makes us sound apocalyptic. Are we? Let it be said, what I say here is of my own thinking. This is entirely Sua Sponte and not an official representation of the U.S. Military or the U.S. Government as a whole.

I Made It

Friday morning we were flying into Atlanta, we were close, the grass was looking blurry and then suddenly, the Pilot pulled it back up. We race tracked around for 15 minutes, taking time away I needed to catch my next flight. Turns out the runway wasn't clear. At least we didn't wind up on the news.

The weather is all dreary out here in Seattle. But, heck, I've seen it cloudy for a month back home and drizzling half the time. And then, I've seen the sun for a month, but not as much as the rain. But, then...Then is the theme of this paragraph in case you can't tell...Maybe I remember the rain more. Yet (you thought I was going to say "then")the weather is a mix up enough back home that such things are easy to remember. Not seeing the sun for a month is the norm here. So, then, if they were to see the sun for a month here these folks would express some form of exclamation.

I have a minor case of jet lag
