The P factor

As promised the "P" factor is any job that starts with a "P".  Now with that said it excludes the six figure jobs that start with a "P". It was meant for pilots (excluding major airlines) paramedics, police etc... As you may have guessed I am both police and a paramedic and between them both I am still under the six figure range. I was introduced to the "P" factor while flying in a medical helicopter and my pilot and I were in a decent conversation on the outbound leg, meaning going to get the sick person, and we named countless professions of importance that get paid minimal for their services, thus was ever known as the "P" factor. I learned a lot from that man. I flew countless miles with him in charge of my flight and he is a true American. His Pilot skills were superb. He raised his family and sent his children to college all on the "P" factor salary. He has since retired from the medical pilot aspect and has moved on like the rest of have. It's so amazing what our lives bring and what man kind can do for another human and the marks people make on each other.

Blogging Newbie

Okay, I have never done this and the wife isn't overly thrilled I want to blog. I apologize now for the typos and fragments and run-ons.
I recently, like three weeks ago, just stopped using smokeless tobacco. I know, I know it's gross but it was like an affair with nicotine. It is no lie when they (who ever that is) say nicotine is harder to kick than cocaine, however I wouldn't know but wow it was hard to give up. Its like Neil Young said, "I've seen the needle and the damage done." I have replaced the fresh smell of Copenhagen with running. Now I am no means a fat guy but I am not 18 either. The "runner's high" is pretty awesome and I get it every time I finish my run. A friend of mine looked at me like I was supposed to get that while running, who knows he runs a lot more than me and he is older so maybe age has something to do with it. All I know is so far I have logged about 18-20 miles in the last three weeks and I feel a lot better. I know this is really boring stuff but gotta start some where so here it is be gentle with the comments. Like anyone would read this. The P factor will be explained later on, like I said I am new and gotta leave a hanger or no one will return.
