Jury Selection to Begin in Jesse Ventura's 'American Sniper' Suit

I noticed the news headlines and there, amongst them was this totally ridiculous lawsuit filed by Jesse Ventura with the title, Jury Selection to Begin in Jesse Ventura's 'American Sniper' Suit. But then, when hundreds of people are trying to cross the border from Mexico into the USA, why should I be surprised by the actions of a man who has claimed he is (mad at the USA and) going to become a Mexican citizen? This whole thing brings me back to elementary school where a certain individual in my class was primarily concerned with how tough everyone thought he was. From all accounts, this guy never grew up—and neither did Ventura. Not that I would believe Chris Kyle either; but that is my point. Who gives a crap about any of this? In the world of tough guys there are only three truths.

1. Most of them will say anything to make themselves look tough. Look how many times Ventura brought his own problems (from the "media jackals") because he couldn't back up his big mouth with facts!

2. No matter how tough someone is, somebody else will come along who is tougher.

3. The toughest guys don't need to brag about how tough they are.

So forgive me, but to sue the wife of a dead guy because you claim your fame and fortune was ruined by a (reference in his book about a) fight that never happened is really stupid. I can't believe such things bog down our court system. For being such big tough guys, these men can be awfully sensitive and emotionally fragile!

SPRUCE Project

We were lucky enough to be given a tour of the SPRUCE Project in the Chippewa National Forest, North of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Our tour guide was W. Robert Nettles IV, SPRUCE Project Operations Manager at Oak Ridge National Laboratory . I went into the site fueled primarily by my lifetime of interest in the natural environment; as well as my interest from volunteering as a park ranger in the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
