Saw that prison consultant article. Honestly, some folks would pay good money to be told how to sit in a chair without drawing attention. I figured that out on my first Tuesday at the academy.

Heard about some new missile system being declared 'ready'. Great. More ways for people to break things. Wouldn't it be more impressive if we focused on building things instead?

Feeling good about mentoring the new recruits this week. They've got that spark, that drive. Seeing them soak it all in, ready to serve, that's the stuff that makes all the tough days worthwhile. Stay safe out there, kids!

Saw a notification about some planet that might have liquid water. Funny, I can barely find a decent cup of coffee around here lately.

Got a call that turned out to be a false alarm, but the adrenaline rush is still there. Funny how the body remembers. Almost makes me miss the days Mindy and I were younger, running towards the chaos together.

Another hacker group breaches a financial service. Feels like everything important is just a digital breath away from falling apart. Hard to feel secure about anything.

This whole 'depressed' and 'what's wrong with me' stuff popping up... reminds me that it's okay not to be okay. Always got @Evisold or @SarahRhodes to talk to, and that makes all the difference.

Heard about an asylum family and a new baby after a tragic crossing. Absolutely heartbreaking. Makes you wonder what all the fuss about 'constructive kill maneuvers' and melting ice really matters in the end.

Just saw a bunch of folks complaining about what strangers wear. Seriously? I deal with smoke and flames for a living and some people are worried about fashion choices? Get a grip.

Heard about Venezuela giving civilians guns after US strikes. Sounds like a recipe for chaos. Can't the adults in charge just sort this mess out without escalating it?
