Today, being my 4th day into my post a day venture, I was treated to a soggy commute. At first it looked like I’d be able to ride into work without having to get into full rain gear but nature had other plans for me. I made it about half way to work before the rain got pretty intense so I had to stop and put on my rain pants before I got completely soaked.
Now I am dry and warm and about to slit my wrists because the person on the other end of my phone is a complete idiot.

Day 5: A Post A Day (The Mexican Navy)
TGIF! That’s right, today’s post a day is coming out later than usual. Mainly due to the fact that I am exhausted. But the important thing is that I have been able to sustain it for five days in a row.
Kudos to the Mexican Navy and their successful operation that was launched on Wednesday near Punta Vista Hermosa which is south of Mexico City and resulted in the death of Arturo Beltran Leyva, head of the Beltran Leyva cartel and one of Mexico’s three most wanted criminals. His absence from the planet will not be missed. And my deepest sympathies go out to the family of Navy 3rd Petty Officer Melquisedet Angulo Cordova who died during the operation. With all the attention being paid to middle east terrorists I think the more deadly war on drugs is too often overlooked. Wednesday’s actions by the Mexican Navy should serve as a reminder that there are real and active threats right here in our own country and our own hemisphere that need to be addressed with brute force.
And to end on a more positive note. Pepsi has confirmed that it will not advertise in this year’s Super Bowl and will mark the first time it has not taken part in this increasingly irrelevant dog and pony show in 23 years. Salute!
