Fort Wayne is quite an interesting city. I have been here almost a year and a half.

I moved here from Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Upper Marlboro is about 30 miles or less south of DC. It is a quiet equestrian town where you still find farm equipment on the road, while you can glance at the nations capital.

The name does fit, it used to be a great tobacco plantation. However, due to backwards economics, they do not grow tobacco anymore. How exactly can the government make money when they give money to people who give them the most money so they don't make money? I guess that is why I cannot study economics, classical economics is interesting to say the least.

So growing up in Puerto Rico, watching an economy run on tourism and some farming; to Maryland, to Fort Wayne, Indiana. It is an interesting city.

Fort Wayne is like a small town with the feel of a big city. I like Fort Wayne.

The weather is interesting too. For some reason, it can't settle on a single type. Cold, Warm, Hot, Cold, Freezing, Hot, etc. There is no time to get used to it; however, I still like Fort Wayne.

Hi guys,

So I am back at work and school now.

For my Spring Break I went up to the outskirts of Mears, Michigan. The visit was specifically to see my father in law, Bob.

As an avid WW2 historian I also happen to be a gun collector and shooting enthusiast. The physics and math that go into every single detail is excrusiating, but they pay off.

The trip was riddled with fun at every corner.

More to come...

Its Spring Break!

Spring break is a good repose from the school work, it really gives a nice (as the name describes) break from everything. School work can be pretty intense sometimes and one must arduously persevere.

So you would assume it is warm and nice; or perhaps you will be travelling somewhere nice and warm.

On the other hand, in my effort to "fight the man" (tongue in cheek) I am going up north to Michigan. Its a really nice state full of wildlife and flora. The only problem is that there are around 2 feet of snow on the ground. The temperatures range from cold at high noon to absolute crazy at night.

At least I get to ride a snow mobile. Since I lived in PR obviously the caribbean receives no snow.

The last time I was in Michigan it was before winter. It was hunting season; thus I walked away with a good experience. I went up to shoot white tail deer and turkeys. Sadly, none walked out. I carried a Swiss K-31 rifle, its only had one owner, the WW2 Swiss conscript who died recently. He appreciated my Swiss flag having its own wall in the study.

Here are some pictures of the last time I went.

I am going the end of this week. I will have more pictures for you guys later.
