• Japan So Far, and A Small Attempt at Self-Reassurance

  September 16, 2020

  So, where to begin... I left the island 'paradise' of Diego Garcia back in August 7th, and this time it was for good. Another guy I worked with left at the same time and karma be damned we were driving to the terminal and kept saying things like, "Last time we're going to make this…

• Photo Series #…uhh, I’ve Never Numbered These Before

  June 1, 2020

  Maybe I should start. By the way, @DiaryMaster is there a way we can make the photos bigger that we've linked? These small photos really don't do them justice. Just asking.

• Dear _____

  May 7, 2020

  At 1:13am I started to write an entry, and did so for about 17 minutes, then deleted the whole thing. It's not much of a "Dear...." entry when you're three paragraphs in and you haven't really gotten to the subject. 1:32am. I should be asleep right now. But in my quest to get whatever sleep…

• Photo Update

  April 12, 2020

  Well, I guess we'll see after I post pictures again if OD decides I'm spam and locks my account. This virus sucks. I've officially canceled my plans for the holiday I was going to take. Not a big deal. I can always try again next year when it's safer to do so. I just hate…

• Social Distancing Like a Boss (Just Pictures Mostly)

  March 22, 2020

  While the virus has not officially hit my tiny part of the world, we're doing our best to prevent any spread here. Because if it did hit, it would probably decimate this place and we are NOT prepared for that sort of thing. I woke up on Saturday morning at 5:30am, hit my phone, saw…

• Japan and the Narrowing Road to Retirement

  March 10, 2020

  Photo stolen from a google image search, courtesy of whoatravel.com So, let's talk about what's next. Japan. Anime. Sushi. CoCo's Curry House. (Yum!) Etc... That is where I'll be headed to next after my time here is done in August. By the way, I've already been here for seven months as of yesterd...

• Purge and De-Activation

  March 9, 2020

  So, I couldn't sleep last night, and as you do, I was sitting on my phone and on a whim decided to first...delete people off Facebook. Because let's face it, no one cares about numbers on there unless you're that kind of person, and well, I am not. Secondly, with very little thought on whether&he...

• Andromeda Strain (Night Sky Photos Inside)

  December 30, 2019

  Twas a wonderfully clear night, clouds wise, and we ventured down to the south point of the island for complete and utter darkness illuminated only by star light. As an unexpected bonus, Andromeda Galaxy was visible even to the naked eye. It's visible in the 3rd and 4th photos.   [embed]http...
