Nice Weather
I’m guessing its going to be a cold winter this winter, thank you God. It was crazy hot, on Labor Day. Not three weeks later it feels like 71 degrees during the day, with rain clouds looming. I’m hoping we’re going to get the type of rainy season that we had in 03.

End of a historic day
I guess I can’t just have a normal everyday type duty day for my last day in the Navy. It look like it would be at first, but eventually the time came to be relieved and there was no relief in sight. The guy that was suppose to relieve me didn’t know whether or not he was qualified, turned out he wasn’t, and the guy that was suppose to be playing back up could not be reached. Eventually, around 0900, I got Coulter involved and he made some phone calls. Of course the non-qual’ was already on his way in, and after blessings from Coulter I left him in charge of the shop.
I stopped off on my way out to check on my leave chit for Monday. I’m really not surprised that it isn’t up there, it came back for a rewrite last week, so I’m sure that it will be on the quarterdeck by 1000- which is about 2 hours after my leave is suppose to start.
When I got home I tried to stay up, I didn’t want to throw off my sleep schedule. I vacuumed the house and did a general clean up, but I didn’t make it past 1400. As soon as Car Talk was over I took a 30 min nap that lasted until 1900.

Whats my job again
I heard a report that Michael Aguirre is advising a stage 2 water alert. Two things I found strange about this news. First, what does water have to do with Legal advisory. As City Attorney his job is Advise the city in Legalities. Unless he is trying to head off what could be a nasty law suit he should remember what his job is. Secondly when channel ten went out to find people to talk in the negative the only person I heard from was some guy worried about whether or not he would be able to water his grass. Are you effin kidding me, of all the people they spoke to the only “viable” argument as a rebuttal to a stage 2 alert was some guy worried about his lawn. Gee, I wonder how many “non-viable” reason they had to throw out. That is why I like to watch channel 10 news, the unvarnished journalism.

Thanks for the visit
Some new church going by The Church of God showed up today, with the wonderful news of the Passover. Most of the stuff we went over I knew and understood already, Jesus is the lamb that was slain for our transgressions. I already told him I attend the Rock, and yet he kept up the sales. If I’m already being fed why would I leave one congregation for an unknown one. In the end I said if he brings his card I’ll stop by one Sunday and check out his doctrine. He wanted my phone number and such but I had to pass on that, his church is an unknown. Though I know his stances his Easter and Christmas, both are adopted from pagan holidays. I can understand if he chooses not to honor these holidays, I myself do not place as much effort into the holiday that honors Satan Claus (patron saint of greed). I don’t think it really think it a big deal if any congregation chooses to celebrate these holiday, as long as the Eostre bunny and Satan Claus are left out of the mix. There are a lot of things that I don’t know about his doctrine, is there a hell. They believe in Satan, that’s good, but who is Satan. They believe that Jesus is the lamb that was slain, but who is Jesus in relation to YaWeH. They believe Old testament is a shadow that preceded the New, but all this can be found in other cults. All these thing I know, but I also understand that as knowledgable as I am there are still chinks in my armor any cult with a little more knowledge could exploit. So no I wasn’t about to let them into the house, nor was I about to give them my phone number so they could set up some time to tell me how I’m not getting the proper nourishment.
