I understand that the big cats (big for N America, anyway) are protected for now in California. How long that lasts will probably depend on whose kid or spouse gets mauled to death. But I was curious if things have changed. Great board here. So many good people from so many areas. Current domicile is scenic Perry, Ia as long as I don't get pulled off the retirement list. They got me to age 60 as a commissioned warrant if they want me, and they are short (last time I knew) of people in automated logistics. Did other things, to include some grunt work in the Marines, but that was my last MOS. Anyway, in my 26 years with units I often caught the additional duty as dining facility officer, and depending on how short of help we were, I would help get the chow ready. My chili recipe evolved, inspired by other units and their variations in the desert.

I was out jogging today and I just couldn't help but think of those Californians. Trying to keep the Biscuit in some kind of shape.
