I think much more attention needs to be paid to the homeland defense mission. The Guard is a great tool for domestic missions.

Right now the Guard's equipment stocks are depleted. That's going to have an impact on their ability to do domestic relief missions.

For what is life but a succession of change; of one thing after another; painful beginnings, fearful setting out into the unknown, leaving what we are for what we have not yet become. We sail forth boldly, keeping a steady keel and a keen eye on the horizon, to reach islands, land whose fragrance we sniff at at the edge of our dreams; and so we sail on, hoping that the next landfall will be our own bit of earth.

My fouls are just so (cheesy) that I'm not really paying attention. For defense I kind of stayed off a little bit. I did not want to play too aggressive.

It's a long-standing issue that needs attention.

There is some old housing stock in the Coeburn area that really needs attention, so that is probably where the work will be done.
