Insomniac #soldierporn: Nocturnal predators venture forth.
Soldiers with 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, walk into the sunset to catch their flight out of Forward Operating Base Pacemaker. The soldiers were on a mission to deliver holiday gifts of cookies, candy and personal hygiene products to the outlying FOB. A Chinook helicopter flew in to pick the soldiers up; the resulting brownout caused the foggy look of the photograph.

Adopted this fiber glass Sturgeon that I’m going to be painting on as a cool little project to spice up downtown Augusta installing a grand total of 25 fish across places in the city where they’ll hang out for a couple years. Posts will be interspersed with progress on the Sturgeon whom I’ve decided to call Margaret. Special thanks to General Kael to provide a sense of scale to this lorge fish.

atmospheric pressure annoys the hell out of me
sometimes the sky is HEAVY and sometimes the sky is LESS HEAVY, you wake up every godforsaken day not knowing HOW HEAVY THE SKY WILL BE because that dumb blue bitch is a fluctuating MERCURIAL HARLOT and I am SICK OF IT
the notes are a 3-way-handshake between people with pressure-related joint pain, people with pressure-related migraines, and autistic folks with pressure-related Everything Feels Like Shit Today For No Apparent Reason. you’re all valid fuck the sky
hold the fuck up.
okay which irrelevant-looking weather number should I have been paying attention to all along and how far apart are the “too high” and “too low” versions of the number?
I have no clue what numbers indicate this, nor how to read them, but I do always know when either a Clipper or Chinook is coming through the next day, because my migranes will get 5000x worse and my injured knee (and as of this year elbow, but I’m hoping that goes away or at least minimizes as it heals) will swell up like a pain balloon. I can tell the difference purely by the fact that Clippers are worse and also make my ankle act up too. Like there’s always jokes about how old people can feel the weather changing, but that is 100% true and not restricted by age, and the only reason old people are more likely to know this is because they’ve had longer to both aquire and learn to read this kind of ailment.
