Negative Twenty-two degrees Farenheit

The most important thing you need to know about my day is the temperature. It was low. I was out and about in the elements regardless, because I am a soldier. "Soldier" is a noun describing and individual who is too stupid to get inside out of the weather. Soldier's choose places with the most inhospitable weather conditions possible to shoot and kill people they don't know, in places they don't who, where people speak languages the soldiers don't know.
The wind chill factor this morning was such that our company commander (hereafter referred to as the CO) took pity on us and instructed the platoons to conduct PT indoors and run later in the afternoon. The medical platoon did and I did not see anybody else doing it. Why am I always the one who HAS to do the right thing? Gotta go!

Have You ever wished you had a Bible Handy?

There's a verse in the Bible about knowing to do good and not doing it being a sin. Something like, "He who knoweth to do good and doth it not sins". Those words haunt me every day. I wonder often whether I really know good or not. What is wrong and what is right and blah blah blah blah. I wonder often whether the uncertainty is just an excuse. If you don't know how can anyone expect you to do anything? Morals are funny things, you know. If I could just get rid of the damn things maybe I could enjoy life.
And you know what I hate in blogs? People waxing philosophical in their blogs. What did I just do? Wax philosophical! I got freaking existential and all that jazz. One might think I am a tortured soUL from reading that stuff.
Hey, on a lighter note, I am always happy when I get mail from people who read the blog and I'd just like to give a shout out to all my folks in Georgia! How are ya?
