A friend of mine RV'd around Europe, in the 70s I guess. I hope I get to do it in America before I retire....

Protection and Defense eh? .... Sounds like the ones to deactivate.

That trap is remote controlled. I didn't setup a trigger on it where you could blunder into it.

That's one way of doing it, yea.

Works better than coffee.

Yeah, I had a similar incident this morning. Most days my room is pitch black. so I walk into the bathroom, and there's this glow coming from a circle in the ceiling. I immediately go 'oh shit!' cuz it's placement was perfect for a mine or explosive device. But just as quickly I realized the attic lights were on, and it was just light from that filtering through the fixture.

Great story.

Someone knows his Old Futhark... Yep. Eolh and Ehwaz...

I like my job. Usually. Mostly. There are some days, that I normally don't like to talk about, when I don't like my job. There're even a few days where I downright hate it.

Today was one of those days... Snowstorm, windchills in the single-digits and negatives, snow knee-deep in places... Today downright sucked. I *so* would've much rather been braving the snowstorms and blizzards between here and Ron's place...

Started at 8:30 in the morning... Ended at 8:30 at night. Didn't finish; got stuff that needs to go back out tomorrow... First time I've ever not finished my work.

And lemme tell ya, when your legs are already weighted down by two pairs of socks, leather steel-toed boots, thermals, jeans, and slacks...wetting down all those layers and wading through snow up to your knees isn't exactly easy...

Well, I -did- mention several times that I've been studying for a while. Though I have to admit I've been pissing my Runes off for the last few months cuz I haven't been using them. I've had no concerns, and nothing to ask about. Really once I started studying everything kinda just fell into place.

Yeah, I remembered you mentioning that...

Really? My runes seem happiest when I'm not bothering them. I think they're of the opinion that we need to be able to live our own lives, without relying too heavily on divinational tools... How long have you had your runes?

Ron: Thanks. Dunno about taking it easy, but will try to have a good V-day with my ladywife.

About 8 months, but I've worked with Runes off and on the last few years. These like attention, but they don't often like to give out information, or than what people need to do to improve their fucked up lives. lol

Even then they like to be cryptic sometimes. Thats okay though. Some days they will work great. I just have kinda get their approval to do a reading for somebody at times. ... Definately female personality.

*prefers to put steel/lead/silver/iron on target*

When I get back to the amarillo region i plan on spending a lot of my weekend time at Panhandle Gunslingers which is an indoor range at Amarillo

I may be of Scottish descent, but I still can't understand how anyone can stand golf...

As for my runes...I wouldn't call them a "hobby", Ron. Every third symbol in the ward around your home is one of those same runes. And on top of that, I only touch my runes occasionally; hardly often enough to call them a hobby.

Nah, you'd really chew me out if you knew my real hobbies... Video games, reading, sci-fi/fantasy...

Video games, reading sci-fi and fantasy, as well as writting it too.


I've only been to Panhandle Gunslingers once, but I remember damn near every detail. I will be taking some course work from them, and I will probably buy my next sidearm from them... or you Ron. I haven't decided.

yeah, I remember.

Ant to be honest, it has far from rotted my brain. It's always made me ask questions, and well.. when I want to know something I go looking. I guess it's kinda the same story with our line of work. Thanks to my inquisitive nature though, there is almost nothing that can escape me when I set out to find out about it.

I think this is a lesson a person or two on campus is going to find out about very shortly.

Oh something going on there Razor.

Well, this is a multi-faceted issue. Different individuals are going to take different things away from the same media.

Actually the Roswell Greys are a bunch of mad scientists, effectively.

Well, I've just got some social/political ninja'ing going on. I'm going to remind them why I used to be Minister of Intelligence with a group I worked for.

Ron some of those games are maybe a good primer for some of the stuff we do, and most do not support the idea of good aliens, nice vampires or werewolves makeing good pets. Just what games were you playing?

Ugh, bible school. I would have put a shotgun in my mouth long ago
