I wish all of you a very merry Christmas. Stay healthy, stay safe, continue to prepare, but most of all, enjoy this time with your friends and family.
Unless there is a major development, this will be my only post of the day.

Spam
The amount of Spam comments to this site is getting ridiculous. The amount of Ivermectin, Cialis, and Porn advertisements disguised as comments are over the top. There are days when I get dozens of spam comments.
I have already tried putting filters in, and they have largely been successful, but a few legitimate comments are getting caught in the filters like dolphins in a tuna can. This requires that I peruse the filters to authorize those legitimate comments. It’s getting time intensive.
Since I really don’t want to force people to set up accounts in order to comment, I think I will have to implement an IP ban that will hopefully filter some of it out. So at least for now, anyone with an IP of 5.188.210.XXX is being banned from posting comments on this page.

My muse
I could make all sorts of excuses as to why my post count is down this week: I have been watching the Rittenhouse trial every minute that I can, even while at work. I have also been working quite a few hours. I have several projects going on, etc.
But the fact of the matter is that I just haven’t felt like writing a whole lot. Maybe tomorrow.

Spam
Due to a large number of comments on this blog that are actually attempts at selling pharmaceuticals, I am filtering comments. Any comment that gets caught in the filter will be moderated and reviewed before it appears. It will appear eventually, but not until I have a chance to review it.
Sorry for the inconvenience. The Russian spambots are getting ridiculous.

From the past
I was going through old posts, and I found a pretty funny one: How to simulate Paramedic life, from 2010. It’s pretty hilarious.
Have your mother-in-law write down everything she’s going to do for the day, then have her make you stand in the back yard at 7am and read it to you.

New Manual
I added a new manual to the training manuals page: Principles of Improvised Explosive Devices.

Costs
I am committed to keeping this blog and server up, so don’t worry about me shutting down. That isn’t going to happen, but I would like to see if we can get some help in offsetting the costs a bit. So if this content is entertaining, or if you download some of the training materials located here, hit me up on my Patreon and kick in a few bucks. I would appreciate it.
