I worked patrol today. I drove around the fuel depot MANY times looking for some deer, raccoons or any other animals that I could photograph. But alas, I wasn't even a little lucky :-( No photos today. My fiancee will be disappointed. She loves animals, both wild and pets (like me) :-)


She has no word for me if she received the Visa interview package yet :-( I REALLY hope that it arrives soon. The sooner it arrives, the sooner we're in each other's arms.

My fiancee "requested" (she says "forced") that I watch Mao "Mao-chan" Asada skate at the Japan Cup. Well, I watched :-(


I like to watch Mao-chan skate (really, I do) but, today's show was painful :-(


The music was VERY depressing and Mao-chan's skating matched the music :-(


Mao-chan has a reputation of skating with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. Her coach's choice of music is VERY wrong for Mao-chan. Her coach must allow her to show her zest for life, her energy and true skill instead of holding her back .


In other words - Change the music or change the coach and the muisic. Both choices will benefit Mao-chan and her fans in the long run.

Today, the local Police Academy graduated 16 new officers :-) I went to their graduation ceremony to congratulate them and to show them my support for their efforts. Completing police training is no easy task. It's very stressfull and MANY people are unable to complete the first week training.


I worked a morning rush-hour gate today for four hours of overtime. I had nothing better to do :-P


The VISA package has yet to be delivered to my fiancee :-( I hope it gets to her soon. The sooner it gets to her the sooner she comes to me and we'll be able to live "happily ever after".
