I see many applications of a similar concept here.  Think paintball. . . aresol. . .etc etc etc.  Non lethal marking tool for the cops to find criminals. better still if it were an invisible ink that only showed under black light.

I stopped eating processed sugar on the 1st of Nov. and have limited the amount of starchy carbs I take in.  The sugar is easy so long as I dont go near the bakery section of the grocery store.  The goal is to lose 45# and trim down several inches by April.

Also looking into some basic electronics courses.  Always been an interest of mine and frankly I curious to see if i can turn that to crime fighting application.

Dealing with some family issues so haven't been online much since last month.  Nothing too serious, mom getting a divorce and getting back in touch with my natural father whom I have never really known.  Both things took a lot of my spare time and emotional energy.EDIT: I hsvr been back in touch with my natural father, my mom has not.

Think Tank site still isnt up obviously.

On a lighter note.  If you can find it, i recommend that any burgeoning detective buy a copy of the board game 221-B Baker Street.  Think Clue on Steroids and not boring.

Santa Barbara PD is at an all time low for employees.  Even desk job types are being assigned to a beat.  They are suffering the same fate as the rest of SB civil agencies.  It is just too damn expensive to live here and commuting isn't much better.
