American Deserters Find a Mixed Reception in Canada (washingtonpost.com)
I was wondering about this. I've thought long and hard about what I would do, and this guy did it. Of course, he was already in the army, and I probably wouldn't have left while I was on active status, but I would have trouble going now. Read all of it, and see what you think.
Today would have been a good day to go to the planetarium or something. Today is Columbus day (seemingly everywhere in the US except Florida). I have to work today, but everyone else at home gets to have it off. It, a Monday morning, would have been a great opportunity to sleep.
Looking forward to my orthopedist appointment later today. I'm sure I'll have a good story for you tomorrow.
Oh, the debate Friday night:
Bush did quite well in comparison to the last scrap with Kerry. He broke the rules, though, and that took a bit of credibility away. I just don't think Bush is very presidential in his demeanor. They both got some points across, but I still feel that Kerry has the more logical approach to all the issues, and I support that. I don't know why, but I feel that Kerry's administration will listen to the public and help, not scare you into building a bomb shelter while he spends all your money.
Make sure you vote this year.

No problems. Bush said in the debates that it was going to remain a volunteer army. I would assume that he would let me choose not to go if I didn't want to. so I will just say no thanks when they call.
I think that I won the debate. At least, I thought I was better able to get my point across at home and varied answers while countering attacks. It was probably easier for me though without a time limit.
