59380...

While that number may not mean much to you, it's bragging rights for me. And conveniently for Alpineman, the game "messed up" while he was trying to regain the high score. =)

Now, off to finish (hopefully!) my exam...

number 2...

So, I'm getting yelled at for not posting again. For one thing, I don't play on my blog all day - oops, I mean, work from home. =) Second, I have a final due Monday, which I am desparately trying to avoid - hence, my second post. =)

Well, I've just been challenged to a duel of sorts. Alpineman has the high score of 58990 on Pole Position (yeah, one of those REALLY old games that we bought in a new joystick), and he thinks I can't beat him. He's questioning my "NASCAR fan" status based on his so-called "ability" on this game, and now I have to step up. Here we go...

Alpineman would be proud...

...that my very first post is about my carry gun of choice. See the post that prompted the creation of my very own blog...

(and then let me link Xavier directly: http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2006/04/show-your-carry-gun.html)

...and then take a look at my choice of protection...




...and my choice of holster...

Mine's a Glock 19 (9mm) with a 15rd magazine and a lovely Glock light. Most days I also carry an extra 10rd mag, at the insistance of the Alpineman. While it makes the "holster" heavy, I'm sure that'll be the last thing on my mind if it is ever needed. This fine machine is about 5 years old, but since it is typically surrounded by fabric, it doesn't show much "carry wear."

So, that's that. My first post. Quite possibly my only post. I guess it could be considered the best thing to post about, by some anyway. At any rate, that's it for now. And only time will tell if this blog becomes something more than just a reply to the Alpineman's commentary. Later...
