  • Perfect and Far-fetched

    It seems both perfect and far-fetched. An article from National Journal talked about a developing technology that would allow naval vessels to refuel at sea. “There’s nothing new about that,” you might say. “Tankers have pulled alongside ships for refueling for decades.” That’s true, but this article revealed that this new breed of ships would Continue reading

    Growing up, I was a fat kid with horn-rimmed glasses. In other words, I was picked on, called names, and invited to fight more than once. I had teachers I liked and some I didn’t like very much at all. I also grew up with access to guns and ammo. The key to the gun Continue reading
