Coming home was a long trip. Someone decided that everyone had to go through one last range, so that day started at 3:30 in order to draw weapons, ammo, and vehicles. The training didn't have any real value for us, but someone was able check it off a list somewhere. The day ended on a good note though. Six of us had early morning flights so we all went into Philadelphia to stay close to the airport so we wouldn't miss our flights. Our driver was from Philly and took us on a quick tour, including a stop at Pat's for a Philly Cheese Steak. All eight of us ate on the house, so if anyone is ever in Philadelphia, stop for a bite at Pat's on 9th and Federal. I slept at the USO. I really appreciate the volunteers who staff them at airports around the country. Not every airport has one, but I like having a place to stop and sit for a while when I travel. I got back to Utah in the early afternoon.
The next day I got to see some of my coworkers at work. By coincidence the department was having a BBQ, so I got lunch too. I am pretty out of touch with what is happening there now. By the time I get back it will be like an entirely new company. It was good to see everyone again though.
I finally drank the Facebook koolaid and opened an account. I needed a place to host photos and video and audio clips. Blogger will only host photos. So sooner or later I will start experimenting with my own videos and audio clips too.
I dont have nearly enough time to do what needs to be done around here. I have given up on getting a new front yard until I get back. My goal is to knock down the weeds before I leave. I also need to replace a section of fence that is about to fall over into my neighbor's yard, but even with that I may have to settle for bracing it and hope the wind doesn't get it until I am back.
Mom and Dad will be coming up to visit soon. That means there will be five people in my little house for a couple of nights.
