Been watching the news as I do every morning….It occurs to me, especially now that it is summertime:

Y’know, if I were a young black male in the south side of Chicago, I don’t think I’d ever just Stand Onna Corner Mindin’ My Own Bidnezz….It seems to be an easy way way to get shot, stabbed or otherwise have your bodily integrity damaged or maybe killed.

Happens nearly every day on the South Side of Chicago…..

Damned checks and balances, anyway.

Obama says Supremes shouldn’t have taken the health care law case. 

And no, Barry, you ain’t a king. So we have these checks and balances to prevent people like you from trying to be…..

Well, that is what happens when you rush a law into place while you have the House, Senate, and President all being Democrats….(or at least a majority).

Gotta rush to pass it, so we can find out what’s in it, right?

We shall see.

BarryCare is falling apart on it’s own anyway.

A bleg:

A while back, before my HD crash, I had bookmarked a website by a woman holstermaker in, IIRC, either Georgia or Alabama.

She had beautiful photos of her work, and I intended to contact her for some custom work for a 1911 holster. But my HD crashed, taking my bookmarks to wherever data goes when a Hard drive becomes unreadable.

Sadly, that is all I remember. My backups only consisted of documents and photos that were not easily reproduced, rather than full backups of all programs, bookmarks, etc.

The pool of possible suspects cannot be that large, yet, sadly, I cannot find her website again, despite much looking.

Anyone know a southern lady who is a holstermaker? I am not 100% certain that it was Georgia or Alabama, but I think so. I am sure it was in the south.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

Gonna have to mow my neighbors yard…..

And maybe the neighbor downstream of him, and maybe the one after that too…

Because all of my goddamned grass seed got washed from my yard into his Sunday afternoon..

4.23 inches of rain in less than an hour.

The first 0.75″ in 4 hours was perfect,

The it let loose.

200 LBS of grass seed. Had just started to sprout that day.

Gone.

I can’t win with this yard.

The good news is that the drain pipes that were sorta partially silted up are clean.

Hope the damned silt helps the friggin’ grass grow…..wherever it ended up.

At least here it stopped raining. Not like Texas.

Not so sure that it is really all that bad…

But this is good advice.

I’ll be making the appropriate noises to the appropriate congresscritters.

Might I suggest that you do the same?

While I feel that it would be  a struggle to implement, and a great court battle as far as free speech and all that, ’tis better not to have to fight that fight, so let’s try not to.

Please, do your part.

(There was once a time when I believe that people who always thought the worst possible interpretation of new laws would happen were tinfoil hat wearing fools…….Now I have my own aluminum beanie.)

ETA: The NRA seems to think this is a really bad thing coming. 

AAA on the Southern border?

Seems that someone on the southern border is not liking the interference the CBP and their helicopters are causing in the smuggling of people and/or drugs into the US…

So they shot the helicopter down.

Luckily, no one was injured, and the copter landed safely.

But still.

I wonder what Barry and his sycophants will do? Perhaps bow the the President of Mexico?

I think we should arm the CBP helicopters so they can shoot back…

Dark of moon, 6th of june

And high tide too.

And the stormy weather passed….

The fun began today at Normandy on this date, 71 years ago.

Not many of those folks left today…

Imagine being in a Higgins boat, or one of the other invasion craft..waiting.

If you had been one of the Glider crews or the parachutists, you day had already begun…

Think of those men today. The ones that came calling on the Germans on France…and changed the war.

Think of those Germans, who just wanted to go home.
