Jacob in Cambodia 🇺🇸 🇰🇭

This feels all too familiar. Scam operations get too much media attention. Govt reacts and “rescues and arrests” but still none of the actual people in power that ALLOW these operations to occur in the first place are held accountable. Rinse and repeat.

I love the USA. But tonight, wearing this shirt, I feel conflicted. The sudden gutting of USAID isn’t just politics—it’s people losing food, medical aid, & support. Cutting aid overnight, then scrambling for waivers, is reckless. I’ll always love my country, but I won’t pretend this isn’t shameful.

Traffic accidents are pretty bad in Cambodia. Drivers don’t follow the law and/or are uneducated. Luckily, the moto driver here wasn’t terribly hurt. Could have been much worse!

Good to see you here. Glad I didn’t fall for the $600 MacBook trick. Bummer your account was hacked.

It's really best not to take /photosvideos of intimate encounters. Period. It's risky and could always be a threat later on, cause trauma and hurt or even worse!

Huh

Someone tell me what the yellow spray can is for! Calming essential oils?

I haven’t given up on X yet but time will tell.

Saturday morning: watching Tyson vs. Paul, enjoying a little snuggle time with Ziggy, and hit a new 10k PR earlier. Perfect!

Hello again, Bluesky ❤️

Is Bluesky still invite only?

Good morning, everyone. Happy Friday from beautiful Kampot, Cambodia!

Bon Jovi or Cowboy?

Happy Caturday.

Recently, my kids (led by my wife) joined an etiquette class at school. Parents were invited to a dinner where we sat with others' kids for etiquette practice. Unique, yet feasible for small schools. Etiquette learning: often overlooked, but so important. #expatlife #cambodia

Who lives in Colorado?

Hello, fire.

Cute pups nonetheless

I’d like to know that too!

Good morning and Happy Thursday from my neighborhood in sunny Kampot, Cambodia.

Meet PFC Goodlin from a billion years ago.

During my two-year stint in the Marines, I learned respect, self-pride, and discipline. A medical issue forced my discharge, which I resisted. During my appeal, I was grouped with Marines eager to exit. It was a super depressing time of my life.
