Or, actually, a lack of it.

Went to the range for a match last night. First time in 6 months. 600 point match

Yeah. It is a perishable skill.  Very

6 moths ago I shot in the 530 range.

Now 468. Target looked like I had been patterning buckshot.

Practice practice practice.

Sucks when life gets in the way of important things.

So, while SiteMeter has burned their bridges with many bloggers, I am bummed that there is no direct replacement.

While StatCounter does keep track of the visits, it doesn’t keep track of where those visits are referred from. I don’t know where my hits come from. I cannot tell who searched for a particular subject of they used Google or Bing or Yahoo.

Having said that, I do like the rest of StatCounter.

I am bummed, however, that SiteMeter forced me to make this decision.

Than it is possible that Charles Manson may well have been right….if a bit early.

The question is, who wants it to happen? And why?  ‘Cause someone is pushing it. The news folks won’t stop stirring it, the Black “Leaders” won’t either. Someone is coordinating it.

I really don’t care, and am really NOT bothered by the fact that the CIA and other intelligence agencies used “Enhanced Techniques” in other locations to interrogate people who would cause harm to me or my family or fellow citizens.

Really. I don’t care. Not a whit. Not a tiny jot.  In fact, if they asked me to help, I would.

Watch THIS. The whole five minutes. Listen. Hear the fear and desperation…. 3000 others also felt that. And they didn’t deserve it either. They just wanted to go to work that day and go home that evening. These were people like you and me. Your fellow citizens.

How many other of your countrymen must die so we don’t offend the sensibilities of the bleeding heart cowards who wish to run this country? Who don’t like the idea of torture?

We didn’t start the fight, but the only way to win is to be willing to be as ruthless as those who did.

If that means that we waterboard someone in order to get information from them (or worse) to prevent another attack, then I am OK with it.

One of the best ways to safeguard this country and it’s citizens is to make sure that NO ONE EVER SCREWS WITH US FOR FEAR OF RETRIBUTION.  EVER

Don’t want none? Don’t bring none. Period.

I never again want my countrymen to have to make the choices that these folks had to make, just because someone in another country hates our freedoms and our way of life.

Barry and his whiny ilk can get fucked. I’ll shake the hand and buy the beer for those folks who did a dirty job and soiled their hands on America’s enemies.

Just how stupid the folks who ran SiteMeter were to do it?

I mean, they weren’t the best, and they were a free service, and I understand that they want to get paid somehow.  But really.

But now they have a whole bunch of folks who aren’t using them anymore. (Including me).

Hello StatCounter. 

NYSE (TGT)

Then I advise you to sell it most ricky-tick. Like as soon as the broker will take your call.

Seems that a judge has determined that banks can sue Target Corporation for losses incurred in the late 2013 credit card hack that let over 40 million card numbers (Plus personal info from over 70 million customers) be stolen from Target’s computers.

Target Corp is negligent for the breach of data. Tens (or more) of MILLIONS of dollars lost to Credit Card thieves.  Tens of millions of cards had to be replaced.

Target as a company will, (unless insurance covers it) be lucky to survive this.

Then you should go read it.

This is the reason I want to sell my business and buy a decent farm somewhere away from most urban areas. Ideally more than 3/4 of a tank of gas away. Rais a bit of livestock and not be there “when the music stops”.

The current level of spending is, really, unsustainable in either the short term or the long term. And when (not, sadly if) it stops, then things will get very ugly very fast. Very.

Read his article. 2/3 of every dollar in the us is spent on some form of entitlement. And that number is growing. Plus the incredible debt load.

Scary.

This is a loss for Brownells (and the shooting community):

Larry Weeks is retiring. 

I can honestly say that I have never met a nicer guy. Just plain decent and kind.

Not sure what he is gonna do (besides the racing bit) but I wish him the best of luck.

“Snitches get Stitches” (or worse)

So one of the witnesses in the Mike Brown/Darren Wilson shooting incident was found dead (and set on fire) after one of the nighttime riots.

Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. No suspects either. Strange that, innit?

But yer not hearing about it on the Nightly News, areya?

Wonder why?

Dogs never forget. Really, they don’t.

Vet reunited with dog after 4 years.

4 years he was trying to find his dog after his (ex) girlfriend gave his dog away while he was in Afghanistan.

She (the girlfriend) should be beaten and then euthanized, but that is just my opinion.
