There isn't enough good weather and mexican food to keep me in California a second longer than needed. In September 2015 don't be surprised if I bolt from the People's Republik of Kalifornia for the Republic of Texas.

California has turned into a crap hole of ridiculous laws, political correctness, taxes, mismanagement, the ultimate welfare and nanny state. What seemed once a bastion of opportunity, personal expression, acceptance is now the place that only wants it one way. The symbol of "The West". But no longer. And a way I want no part of for any longer than I have to.........

    Don't forget to factor in an extra $300 a month in AC to keep you place below 80 degrees... Also, http://youtu.be/29khjYTOLC8

    I still prefer to get out of here. The "climate" in CA no longer suits me.
    I've also lived in Arizona and Iraq, I can handle any weather Texas has. San Diego makes people weather wusses. I in no way want to be a wuss.

The housekeeper said today I look like a gangster or mafioso. Do you agree? So I posted on FB a picture of my agility ladder and talked about how I use it for training for shooting. Most people kind of questioned it or dismissed it outright. Then I see a famous person posts a video of him today on FB using one and everyone thinks it's a great new idea. This actually makes me kinda angry. I don't like being dismissed or marginalized because my thoughts and ideas come from me, and not from someone "famous". Cause you know what, he isn't any better or smarter than I am. In any way. And just like MM93 grew up to take down VR46 I'm gonna do the same to all those who are at the top right now. Everyone is gonna know it and see it. Then there will be no doubting.

80% of individuals with MCI convert to AD within 3 to 7 years. Having both APOE4 allelles increases your risk 12 fold. Diagnosed with MCI this year. Amyloid PET scan in August. 3 to 7 years to Alzheimer's disease? That is frightening.
