A guy down the street has painted his front yard green! Ugly, Rustoleum green. It looks bizarre. Most of us just let them turn brown till the rains come. Maybe he was an NFL grounds keeper before.
If you are interested, there are some wonderful videos of LEOs dealing with these lousy punk rioters on the webs today. They put the wood, pepper balls, bean bags, tasers, and fists to them. Then cuffs and a trip downtown. Warms my heart.
One of my favorite writers. I have read all the books he wrote and a couple he didn't. Seems to me he foreshadowed a couple big events. Not exactly, but kind of, close. Events similar to things that have happened. Two of his titles;
A Debt of Honor
Rainbow Six
I pray that The Sum of All Fears...
Looks like fire bombs thrown into peaceful people supporting Israel. At least 6 injured. Perp in custody. His name was released. Don't want say more at this time.
It is gardening season, planting time at last. I was admiring my Smith & Wesson folding knife that I use. It was made in CHINA! I've had it for years, never noticed. Anybody else have S&W gear not made in the USA?
OK, my shooting buddy's brother has a 4in. Mountain Gun in .45LC. A black bear has been eyeballing his farm. He wants to know if Buffalo Boar hard cast bear loads would be OK in his Smith. Thanks!
The eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a really big boom. Amazing to see such power on display. I got to fly into the area 3 years after. To see the damage up close was incredible. Makes you feel very small and weak.
WWII in Europe ended 80 years ago. What an accomplishment. Millions dead and mass destruction on the most densely populated continent. Few vets left from that one. We can never thank all involved, impossible. Just remember and pray for them.
We had a couple really nice days. So the bugs are out in force. A couple big nasty flies are loose in the house. Saw a big wasp yesterday, but he moved on. At least no skeeters or fruit flies yet. My fly swatter is at the ready.
I have no dog in this fight. The Superbowl, I have seen much chatter on the webs that KC has been gifted many questionable calls. Esp. in the play offs. Some big name announcers shocked as well. The NFL lost me many moons ago. But such corruption, if true, would be very bad for all involved...
This cold weather reminded me of Pops. Going in and out the front door, lots of cold air. Heat is expensive, but kids don't think like that. When I left the door open he'd say "were you born in a barn?" And "are we heating the outside now?" Miss him. Anyone else have some wisdom from the old man?
I am a member of the Grumpy Old Man/Get Off My Lawn club. The other day I was just starting a nap when there is a knock on the door. I thought it was the neighbor that I had just talked to a few min. before, so didn't look out. Here is a kid(25?)with his little clip board and jacket with logo. I...
