Can’t beat LT’s for sheer intimidation value though.
My buddy, Vinh, from college shooting my new Walther P-22.
Yesterday in court I was noticing that I had to tighten my belt to an absurd degree to keep my 36-inch-waist slacks from slipping. This morning I got out a pair of 34-inch Levis and they fit quite comfortably.
This diet really is remarkable. I have only been running about a mile a day, and that sporadically. Daily 30-minute walks with the dog have been my only other exercise. It is the diet, combined with calorie consumption running at about 1300 per day more or less, that has done this.
Remember what started me just a couple weeks ago was not fitting into those size-36 slacks.
I have no idea how much I weigh or my body fat percentage, but the wife is starting the same diet and we’re gonna pick out an electronic diagnostic scale today for the bathroom.

You can donate to his campaign here. Yes, I believe he is or will be running against Alan Grayson.
Update: Goes along with the above. Do not cry or throw things during or after watching, but do watch the whole thing..
WA State has joined the ranks of states who no longer discriminate against the right of persons to enjoy a whole range of boilerplate legal protections & tax advantages just because they happen to be wired a bit differently than others.
Or, put another way, the secular government of WA state has done the right thing and stopped enforcing religious rules that have no secular justification or basis.
If you don’t like gay marriage, don’t have one.

You may remember when I posted his first in the series last week. I hope to catch all of them to be posted here.
The location where I happen to reside is not fraught with multiple varieties of cataclysmic revenge events from Mother Gaia. The lower peninsula of Michigan hasn’t seen a hurricane that I know of (in my lifetime anyway). Not being a geologist or paleontologist, I cannot say with 100% confidence that there may not have been a hurricane sometime in the planet’s early childhood when this area may have been covered by a hell of a lot more water than it is currently.
Earthquakes also rank rather low on the TEOTWAWKI and all-is-lost list for these parts. Maybe the New Madrid crack will experience a huge anaphylactic shock some day, but I have no idea to what extent Michigan would feel the movement of that earth bowel.
A volcanic event seems remote, though, again I don’t know whether a supervolcanic blow of the Yellowstone Caldera would drop a shitpile of ash in my neighborhood or not. (though sunglasses may not be necessary for a while).
I don’t normally watch local news, especially on the weekend when they let the “B Team” play in front of the cameras. This evening, we had it on at home as background noise when this story came on:
Woman weds warehouse amid ‘gay marriage’ furor
Make sure to watch the video. Of course she was an Occupy Seattle activist.
Of those stick figure family stickers everybody and their mother has stuck to the back window of their personal vehicle.
I’m not exactly sure what sets me off about them, except that maybe it’s because every time I see one, it’s been applied to the rear window of some oblivious-to-the-rest-of-the-world jackhole who made some stupid traffic maneuver. Or, they’re the ones at the light who have to be prompted to look up and see that it changed and they can go now.
However, these, I could stand.

There are 35 to choose from, including a couple for pets. I’ve got mine already picked out. And I’m putting mine on the right corner window, just to be an ass. That, and because when I pass the stick figure oblivions, that’ll be the corner they’ll see first.
For those who know Atkins, yes, I have corrected the error of my ways and am now eating my veggies too.
3 cups spinach salad, 6 tablespoons Ranch dressing, and one small grilled steak and one grilled pork chop, cut up, equals dinner:
