I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Reading the book "Hinduism in America" and being amused by the strange bedfellows of Vivekananda collaborating with American Christian Scientists, Unitarians, Theosophists, and Spiritualists in the late 1800s.

Watched the Jan 6 hearings today (been watching them from the very first one). Also watched some Youtube I have subscriptions to (The Humanist Report, The Young Turks, Rational National, and more recently added Meidas Touch and Thom Hartmann Program). I cried at the testimony of the Georgia election count volunteers, then got very angry. Even angrier at the news of the SCOTUS ruling on the case for funding religious schools. I'm scared for the American Republic right now. I also want to fight those fascist mother fuckers (all those damn Conservative Republicans). That is my mood right now.

Back from detox, went off the rails for no particular reason, it was fast and nasty
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I'll still be twitchy and weak for awhile but hurt myself bad enough that I doubt I'll be repeating anytime soon.

Just finished rebuilding the carburetor on my ancient truck, and the battery is low.
