In the ATL

We just landed in ATL and are taking a shuttle to Dobbins AFB for a week of SCT training. There are 6 of us from all diffrent walks of life in MD Air Guard. This should be an adventure. I last did SCT for a few times going to Tyndall AFB in Florida with the RI Air Guard. When I did that we went as an entire base for thie most part. I do not know what to expect with this group.

Additionally that was my first time flying Air Tran and I don't have any complaints.

Baltimore Street, Baltimore, MD

Have you ever been to Baltimore Street? How about Baltimore St at 545am on a Saturday morning? I told Danielle going thru the center of Baltimore avoids the tunnels with tolls and eliminates going around the Beltway up here. Anyways when I have driven Baltimore Street before its been during the day. I am the only white person and the streets are crowded. Amazingly it was the same way at this hour. prostitution, drug deals, the street is filthy. and the best part about it, it is the street the Baltimore PD is on. their headquaters. Tell me how does that make any sense? I liike Fells Point, the Inner Harbor and Oriole Parkat Camden Yards but the rest of Baltimore is a complete shit hole. I rather be in SE Washington, DC than the majority of Baltimore.

Baltimore Street significance is that this is where I parked my car on a rainy day in 2002 while trying to kill time prior to bringing Adam and my Mom back to BWI. We had a couple hours to kill so I figured I would show them around the inner harbor. Because I was and am a cheap bastard I parked on the street across from the BPD HQ. Most of you know this story well we came back rain soaked 60 min later and the window was smashed out and Adam and my moms luggage was missing including a soft side cooler. My mom was flabbergasted! It was all gone. after calling the Police it took 45 minutes for an officer to arrive on scene (we stood 200 feet from the entrance to the HQ)

And Adam and my mom never have a desire to go see Baltimore again, and I am not surprised!

On the road

We are headed to Kueka Lake, NY and Danielle is driving. I can't think of a time where she started the drive. I guess I have control issues, because I enjoy driving when its a long drive. maybe I will try and get some shut eye, it is 539am outside Baltimore.
