Revisionism

I do like the ease of that Bloggers gives to creating a user friendly, easily readable blog, and quickly. However, there is one aspect that bothers me thus far. If I go back and edit a post, the post text changes, but there is no notation of this. Thus, I could come back to these entries a year from now and insert things that I didn't really write, think, or experience at the time.

So far, I have made some changes to a few entries, some minor, such as spellings or typos, some major, like re-writing whole paragraphs. These changes have been made not long after the original writing, often when I still had the same topic fresh in my mind, so I don't think it's inaccurate to do this. At some point, however, I am not going to let myself got back and edit, simply as a matter of historical preservation.

I may no doubt learn how to resolve this as I continue to explore Blogger.

I was walking back from the parking lot this morning after work with my sensor operator, Emily. We were talking a bit, and as is normal for this time of day, a few people were up and walking out of the housing complex for work, wearing various combinations of uniforms and armor. A few days ago I had mentioned to Emily that we would probably start to recognize people since we were always walking back at about the same time, and today it happened, a airman walked by that I recognized from the combination of DCU colored armor with blue reflective belt over ABUs with the ABU cap.
