I did some poking around this morning and found that there are currently 2 US carrier groups in the Persian gulf area (Eisenhower and John Stennis), the most since 2003 (Stennis arrived in Jan 07).

Tonight I will be spending the night at a clinic for a polysomnogram. Something's been keeping me from sleeping properly for the last 15 years or so, and it's recently getting intolerable. I should find out soon whether it's because of narcolepsy, sleep apnea, or whatever. I don't snore, and I don't think I have Restless Leg Syndrome. What do know ( Read more... )

Well, that was well worth the cost of a burrito. I won't try to think to hard about it, though. It makes me happy ( Read more... )
