Miscellaneous musings (time to clear out my head).

I can relate . . .
When I saw this morning's "Zits" I could so relate to it! The reason being that several weeks ago my doctor started me on both medication for my under active thyroid AND medication to lower my cholesterol. The effect that has is very similar to the mom in the cartoon in that I have killer hot flashes and just moderate exertion causes me to sweat like it's summer time -- never mind the fact that it's the dead of winter.

I'm going to try . . .

Early in the new year to obtain my General class Amateur Radio license. I received an e-mail from the American Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL) saying that in July, 2011 the question pool for the General class license will change which usually means it will become more difficult. Not to say I'm not up to a challenge, but why make something more difficult than it needs to be?

They made the ultimate sacrifice . . .

My sympathy goes out to the families of Chicago Firefighters Corey Ankum and Edward Stringer who made the ultimate sacrifice last week when they were killed by a roof collapse that occurred while they were searching a vacant warehouse that had caught on fire. Not to get on my soapbox, cause this could be a blog all to itself, but how many more firefighters have to die before the ICs (Incident Commanders) realize that sometimes a search of an abandoned building is not worth the potential loss of life?

Until next time . . .
