I hope that this isn't true

Basically the U.S. government, appears to be asking for portions of signing bonuses back from service members. WHY? They were injured and therefore unable to fulfill their obligation under their enlistment contract. If this is actually happening, then all I can say is "shame on our government." Completely inexcusable. Read the full story here.

President Bush visits some newly disabled veterans

President Bush looks at the artificial leg of Army PFC Nicholas Clark during a visit to the Center for the Intrepid at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, November 8, 2007. This is the caption for the first picture. I have no words to describe this other than I simply recommend you look at this and think for a minute about what you see. Remember your veterans. Nothing comes without a cost. Link to Reuters Gallery.

Kickin' Cars

As some of you know, I am now working for the railroad and in training. I've tried to explain what is meant by the term "kicking" a car.

Here are a couple videos that show it happening. FUN!



And here is a crew using this method to do some switching in the yard.

Nice little animation on the death biz
