wxgeek @Kellilio What an unfortunate last name. Probably for the best that it didn't work out.

wxgeek @Kellilio Still, what an unfortunate last name.
kellilio @wxgeek i always just associated it with hops.
wxgeek @Kellilio I see that and I think bunnies.

wxgeek @Kellilio BUNNIES AREN'T JUST CUTE LIKE EVERYBODY SUPPOOOSES! THEY'VE GOT THEM HOPPY LITTLE LEGS, AND TWITCHY LITTLE NOSES. AND --
wxgeek @Kellilio AND WHAT'S WITH ALL THE CARROTS? What do they need such good eyesight for anywaaaayyy? bunnies! BUNNIES IT MUST BE BUUNIIIIIEEEES.

One of our roommates is moving out halfway through the lease, so we've got a spot open upstairs that needs filled! Three bedroom, two bathroom duplex in Fort Walton Beach. You'll share a bathroom with Ted, who is generally a sane, clean person. Rent runs about $275/month, and utilities generally hover in the range of $75-$125/mo, depending on whether it's summer and we're running the AC constantly or not. This includes OTA television and Cox Premiere internet. The remainder of the lease isn't up 'till June, so a commitment 'till June would be required.

Ideal roommate will be drug-free (smoke outside if you like; alcohol is fine), not crazy, and without pets, since the landlord does not allow them. Folks on probation and convicted felons need not apply, since firearms are kept in the house.

House is 2 minutes from Winn Dixie, 10 from Publix, and a good frisbee throw from a Taco Bell. Easy commute to Eglin/Hurlburt/Shalimar/Crestview. Inquire here for more info; feel free to pass this info along to a friend if you can vouch for 'em.

So this utter douchebag, convicted child rapist and former South Dakota Republican State Rep. Ted Alvin Klaudt has decided that his name is copyrighted.

Rapist Ted Alvin Klaudt sent a letter to the Associated Press and several other news organizations stating Ted Alvin Klaudt's demands: Organizations wishing to use Ted Alvin Klaudt's name must apply for written permission, 20 days advance notice and $500,000 for each use of the name of Ted Alvin Klaudt. Ted Alvin Klaudt has promised to take legal action against anyone who uses Ted Alvin Klaudt's name without permission.

Apparently the man has nothing better to do while in jail, doing time for molesting his teenage foster daughters.

In conclusion, I'd like to say: Ted Alvin Klaudt, Ted Alvin Klaudt, Ted Alvin Klaudt and Ted Alvin Klaudt.

Ted Alvin Klaudt.

The Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), part of the Superfund EPC cleanup legislation, authorizes the USAF IRP (Installation Restoration Program). The USAF IRP investigates and cleans up contamination at USAF installations.

The Phase 1 IRP study results for Eglin Air Force Base were issued in 1981. Phase 1 consisted of public records searches and personnel interviews to identify hazardous waste sites, and was conducted by ENGINEERING-SCIENCE INC of ATLANTA GA.

Some identified issues:

A) C-6 radar facility ground contamination. The C-6 SPACE DETECTION AND TRACKING SYSTEM (SPADATS) radar site has been contaminated with TCE, as well as other volatile organic compounds and inorganics of lesser concern. The nearest drinking water wells are 3 miles south of C-6, in Portland, Florida. The Air Force is conducting annual monitoring of the groundwater, and has determined as of 2002 that the contamination is too far from residential areas to present a public health hazard.

B) Agent Orange contamination: The US Air Force used the C-52A Herbicide Exposure Unit to evaluate effectiveness of spray equipment for Herbicide Orange, Purple, Blue and White, as well as fuel, oil and Malathion.

Multiple sites on Eglin land have been declared contaminated, including the now-inactive Mullet Creek Drum Disposal site. Pesticides, dioxins, chlorides, petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals were found at MCDD. Some cleanup was performed in 1988, when 663 drums and 120 cubic yards of debris were removed.

The Air Force deemed no further action was required, due to the limited access to C-52A-HEU imposed by topography, dense vegetation, locked gates and security personnel.

The C-52A Aerial Overspray Area was a secondary test site. Primary contaminants are TCDD and arsenic. Because of limited public access to the area (topography, dense vegetation, locked gates and security personnel), the US Air Force determined no further action was required.

C) Hardstand 7 was used to load herbicides into aircraft. The site is secured with chain-link fences and locked gates, and some interim corrective measure have been implemented.

D) Radioactive contamination: Site C-74 and the Isotope Burial Area were used to test bullets containing Zinc 65, which decays into a non-radioactive form of copper. No radiation hazard has been detected.

E) Depleted Uranium - Test site C-64 is used for explosive tests, drop tests, bullet impact tests and DU ammo tests. The site is fenced and locked, with posted "controlled area" signs. Quarterly monitoring indeicated levels of uranium exceeding background levels, but levels appear to trend "below regulatory concern." The USAF removed DU fragments in 1999, and 24 cubic feed of DU-contaminated soil in 2000. Because of the public access restrictions, Eglin will be taking no further action at this site. Similar conditions exist at DU Test Area C-74L.

F) There is a Low-level Radioactive Waste Site west of Site A-15 near the center of Santa Rosa Island. The site was used to dispose of missile fragments, metallic waste, 55 gallon drums and batteries. Access to the site is restricted by armed guard and barbed wire by land, but not by sea. Some contaminants (not including the batteries) were removed. Radioactive waste from a BOMARC missile was mostly eliminated in 1993.

G) Biological weapons testing. Classified documents reviewed by the ATSDR indicate that live biological weapons were tested, researched and stored at Eglin Air Force Base from the 1950s through the 1960s. The ATSDR report indicated that there was no continued threat from these tests.

The EPA has determined that no further federal action (NFFA) will be taken at USAF EGLIN AFB ARMAMENT DIVISION as of 2007.

That's why.

Worth 15 seconds of your time.

I may've called in sick to work today, but that doesn't mean I got nothing done.

Behold, shiny new website! I'm still adding in galleries from my flickr as I get to them, and I'm not sure yet what I want to port over and what I don't. I think the flickr is going to stay my personal photo collection and the pro site will be... well, professional stuff.
