Another Blogging Drought

Well it has been months since I posted anything. The reason for that is a combination of a few different factors. I've been pretty busy with work and the Coast Guard Auxiliary. In addition, I have recently also done some volunteering aboard the former Navy / Coast Guard ocean going tug Comanche. However, I guess the main reason is that I have become so fed up with "NO". Everywhere I turn, government keeps getting in the way of doing things quicker/cheaper/better. The larger the government, the more obstructionist it seems to be. Unfortunately, since I work at a Federal facility, and am part of the Coast Guard, I am hit with a double whammy from the worst offender -- Uncle Sam.
