So I am watching the coverage of the Dallas Police station shooting/bombing….

How do they know the van in “armored”? It isn’t all that easy to armor a vehicle…

The patterns of the bullet holes tell me that the description of the guns used by the (alleged) attackers as “automatic weapons” is a lie.

Many suspects, but they only caught one, and he isn’t talking (as he is at room temperature), so really, How DO THEY KNOW how many there may or may not have been? They assume more than one, but the attack took place in the dark, and really, cops have no idea the amount of shit one person who is motivated and unafraid of death can dish out in a short time.

And finally, one might have thought that Dallas could have found a Chief of Police who could speak reasonably well….Sadly, he can’t.

Like it would be a bad thing?

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) on Wednesday warned Republicans that if they don’t reach another bipartisan deal to lift spending ceilings, they risk causing another government shutdown this fall.

Let ’em shut it down. If it were me, I’d shut the whole thing down (less the military), and let it stay down for a month Close all those departments like DOE, Dept of Ed, Interior, ATF, etc. Then see what parts we miss, and reactivate those. Let the rest stay shut down until we (they, actually) find a way to not spend more than we bring in each year. In fact, I’d cut them so far that we would have a surplus of 10% until we pay down that debt.

But that’s just me….someone who has to stop spending when I am out of credit and all….

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…..

But, rather, for themselves.

Wounded Warrior project is what I am talking about here. 

They exist to siphon money from you, not to help wounded warriors.

maybe someday.

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.

Or whatever the current favorite black boy child name is…

Anyway.

Read this.

Part of the issue, really…But only part.

Still, the excuses made are NOT helping the black kids.

And they, really, are the losers here.

Sad.

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.

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.

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.
