After a few days off. A last push before Christmas. Unlikely to hit my final target weight. But I'm not despondent. It was a big ask. Losing 5 1/2 stone in 12 months, rather than 6, is much more than I imagined I'd lose last January.
This is the actual StroMotion. The actual technology automatically creates images like this from video. Mine was made up of 5 photos that I manually Photoshopped together.
As Darklon tries desperately to ignore the fact that he is being completely inundated with emergency after emergency, Darklon again finds a distraction that allows him a moment to refocus.
Darklon: Wait a second, you're not the Sergeant Major!
The Sergeant Major pauses, confused.
Sergeant Major: I am, sir.
Darklon: No, no no you're not! Nice try, pal! The Sergeant Major wears a monocular! You've clearly got a Binocular around your neck!
The Sergeant Major stops for a moment, searching for Darklon's point.
Sergeant Major: Sir, considering the level of emergency at present, I simply grabbed the wrong item.
Darklon: Huh, yeah right!
Sergeant Major: Darklon, please... you recognize my voice!
Darklon studies the so-called Sergeant Major for a moment.
Darklon: I'm taking a lot of faith here.
The Sergeant Major chooses the moment to return the conversation to the current situation.
Sergeant Major: Sir, maybe we should release the nanomites.
Darklon: What? They would devour the entire Wing!
Sergeant Major: Yes, but they would also cease the spread of the infection immediately. Our Nano-Units can operate within the Wing protected from the nanomites and ensure that all the mutants are terminated.
Darklon: Forget it! Destro would freak! Our job was to maintain the quarantine and that is exactly what we’re gonna do.
Sergeant Major: Darklon, even the Elite said that a breakout is only a matter of time! Maybe we should contact Destro…
Darklon: No way! Those are Joes in there, and the world is already pissed at us for the Cobra Consulate debacle! We’ve got this under control, ok? We let Destro know when I say we do and not one second before, got it?
Sergeant Major: Yes sir.
Darklon: Organize a team of DEMONS and AGP’s to cover the outside of the Burghardt Wing. Shoot to kill.
Sergeant Major: Yes sir!
The Sergeant Major salutes and leaves the strategy room while Darklon watches him sceptically and considers how he could make the so-called Sergeant Major the scapegoat.
My wish for all in the new year is for all to prosper spiritually and that we refocus our attention on the natural world. Lets all worry less about material things and more about the human things.

Kalea Russell, an Army JROTC Cadet with Ansbach High School, takes time to refocus in the 3x20 Precision Team relay during the 2023 JROTC National Air Rifle Championship on March 25 at Camp Perry, Ohio. This relay allows Cadets 20 minutes in each of the three shooting positions – standing, kneeling, and prone – to shoot 20 pellets at the target and collect points for their team. The national event features the best marksmen from all-service JROTC programs across the country competing in Sporter and Precision shooting events. | Photo by Sarah Windmueller, U.S. Army Cadet Command Public Affairs
