True Confessions of somebody who called in sick.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

No, I’m not out playing golf or going to movies or such. Yesterday I read all day. I’m reading “Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety” by Eric Schlosser,<\/span>a book about the safety of the United States nuclear weapons program. Let me tell you, it is flat scaring me to death. Turns out that we had a huge number of accidents involving atomic and thermonuclear weapons and were just plain lucky that we didn’t have a accidental nuclear detonation. He talks about such matters in general and focuses on nuclear missile explosion in Damascus, Arkansas where the Air Force was unprepared to respond the situation and gave no thought to protecting the public. More to come when I finish the book.<\/span>

<\/span>Today I watch several episodes of Breaking Bad<\/a> on Netflix. It is about a high school teacher in Albuquerque who for several reasons decides to cross over to the dark side of the drug world and his life immediately turns to crap.  The series started in 2008 and ended in September 2013 and was widely acclaimed. And I barely heard about it. I’m loving it though. It is so outrageous plus it is filmed in Albuquerque and I’m enjoying seeing familiar landmarks and neighborhoods on the show.<\/span>

<\/span>I’m halfway through episode four. I’m looking forward to this.<\/span>

<\/span>So, lets have a vote. Do I continue reading about the antics of our Government covering up nuclear accidents and losing atomic weapons or continue watching Breaking Bad?<\/span>

<\/span>Being sick is getting boring. I don’t want to go coughing and sneezing all over my coworkers though. We’ll see how I feel in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n
