Well, I don’t actually know him, but it still hits kinda close to home. I wondered yesterday why one of my favorite daily reads was down. Now I know.
I’ve linked often to posts from a blog called “Dispatches from TJICistan.” Turns out he was the guy I blogged about yesterday. I thought that name sounded familiar, but in my mind he’s just TJIC.
Damn right. Hope you’re well, Travis. I feel bad about missing that yesterday. Come back soon.
BTW, read Borepatch’s post about it, linked above. It’s excellent and I won’t repeat it here.
UPDATE: Thanks to a commenter on Claire’s blog, here’s a screencap of the horrid, offensive post.
Thanks for your support, Joel!
I know this has been suggested and there are reasons but leave that place.
I spent years in Socal listening to people on the intertubz saying that to me, like I was somehow not doing my duty by staying there. I had a reason, the reason had a duration, and when the reason was done I left. It ain’t nobody’s business what you do, or where you live.

Well said.
I’ve got two godkids that I’m very VERY close to. I see them multiple times a week, and try to do my part to bring them up.
There may come a time to leave MA … but for now, I’d rather not retreat and write this state off to the enemy.
