A Lieutenant saying, "I was just thinking..."

if you look at the video of the fire in its early stages, it looks like something super flammable (or inflammable) is going up.
Like fuel.
Would not be surprised if they have diesel tanks for their generators on the building or something along those lines.

On New Year's Eve, Marilyn stood up in the local pub and said that it was time to get ready. At the stroke of midnight, she wanted every husband to be standing next to the one person who made his life worth living.

I hope you're wrong too, Cheri, but I feel the same way. And I actually think we're not going off the cliff, but rather almost hitting the bottom. We essentially have no functioning Constitution. It's that bad. And I fear the tsunami, the flood, the mass movement of humanity into the USA by those that have no ties and no desire to be American will ultimately be our downfall.
On that happy note, Happy New Year, Horde!

Many thought that Obama would go further and issue an Executive Order to use the No Fly List to deny background check approvals.
Closing the "gun show loophole" will have nearly zero effect on reducing crime let alone stopping terrorist attacks. In the real world, our "common sense" background check system is ineffectual at stopping bad people from getting guns. It's main benefit is that when the FBI releases the number of background checks it ran in the prior month, it provides a ready way to estimate gun sales for the entire nation. They've been way up under Obama. Best gun salesman ever!
So this is a Silly Feel Good for the anti-gunners who are mostly in ten or so states that are already Deep Blue, but it will rile up Gun Owners of which there are over 100 million, nearly all of whom are potential voters.
Can't wait for Hillary to jump on this band wagon.

For the first time in more than a decade, all categories of crime rose across Los Angeles in 2015 as police struggled to get control of the problem, according to LAPD data.
Violent crime in L.A. climbed 19.9% and property crime increased 10.3% through Dec. 26 compared with the same period last year, according to the police data. It marked the second year in a row that violent crime rose, but the first time since 2003 that both violent and property crime rose.
"We ask people to keep this in perspective," said Assistant Chief Michel Moore, who oversees the Los Angeles Police Departments crime-tracking unit. "The city is not on fire, the city is not falling into the ocean."
LATimes
In a related story, LA just caught on fire and fell into the ocean.
Also, this is totes unrelated to the open border, our three-strikes law being repealed and the courts ordering the prisons to empty out because jail is icky.

Here is the ostensibly data-driven journalist cadre at FiveThirtyEight in a published chat saying most of these things. It, by rights, ought to be terribly embarrassing to be so ignorant and mean-spirited but they say these terrible things in almost clinical terms. The GOPe would agree completely with every line.
To oppose the MSM definition of polite society, to defy the leftist political consensus is to be a racist nationalist dumbkoff. Plain and simple.
You would think they'd be embarrassed to see these thoughts in print.

Confession: when my brother and I were teenagers, we'd sometimes skip Mass and go to Micky D's for breakfast instead. We'd run in the church and grab a weekly missal which we could wave at our mom if she got suspicious.
Now I'm picturing a Muslim kid standing in a bathroom stall at McDonald's, fishing a carpet remnant out of his back pocket and frantically rubbing his forehead with it as proof that he really did go to mosque. "I was just way in the back, mom, nobody saw me."

2014 was a year of licking wounds. Not the best.
2015 repaired a lot of damage. Just in the past couple of weeks, we have found the right place to live, cemented good jobs, become cautiously optimistic.
2016 has great promise, and with a bit of luck and lots of hard work will be the year we finally break even and maybe get a little bit ahead.
God's peace to every moron and moronette out there: may He bless us all with that which is more valuable than "things" and more eternal than politics, "identities" or the sins we seem so intent on exploiting. Lead us NOT into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

No. 2 Son aked if Christoph Walz is in it. No, I said, Tim Roth plays the Walz part. Really, he does basically an impression of Walz.
It's all of Tarantino's tropes eating themselves or each other. There's even someone hiding under the floorboards. And a time shift. And we re-litigate the history of racism.

To the left, the Government is a means of shifting incomes, from employed young and middle-aged family people to everyone else. That's the basic job of Congress for the lefties-- funding social programs. They come right out and say it. Amazing. Just amazing.

White QB + White cop = zzzzz OB is off the hook because he's a collage football player.
Black QB + Black cop = see above.
White QB + black cop= QB is RACIST cracker who cannot accept black authority because RACIST.

Open carry starts tomorrow in Texas. I don't see reason why you would want to open carry unless you had a need as some type of preventative theory. That said , I've come around to being for it because gun control people are against it and anything to suppress the 2nd should be fought against.

The big plus to Open Carry is that CCW holders don't get popped for illegal open carry just because their shirt rode up over their pistol's grip. And yes, that has happened often enough that it's a thing amongst the CCWers.

It's a roundtable where the panelists continue to dismiss the idea that Trump can win the nomination, let alone the Presidency. Don't they know how to read polls. I'd put Trump at 75% to get the nomination.
Instead they "analyze the phenomenon" of Trump by comparing him to George Wallace and Pat Buchanan.
MSM sure has a blind spot.

illegal open carry just because their shirt rode up over their pistol's
grip. And yes, that has happened often enough that it's a thing amongst
the CCWers.
As to intentional Open Carry, not this guy. But I don't believe that
gov't should be telling me I CAN'T OC, because shall not be infringed
motherfucker.
.
.
.
.Here in Kentucky there is no permit required for open carry and it is actually more common than you would think. I even see people openly carrying into the Post Office which is a huge Federal no-no, but no one there says a thing. Signs all over the place along with cameras but not a peep from anyone there which I find refreshing.

Son thinks I should open carry in the shop (once it's open and I have the carry permit). Not sure that a yarn shop is a big robbery target, but I will probably at least have the gun available (just a little more discreetly).

After reading that it's the ones selling guns as a "hobby", I'm thinking it's actually going to be written to mandate background checks for the Curio and Relic 03 FFLs. Because as we all know, 70 year old Mosin Nagant bolt action rifles are the preferred concealed carry gun of the American Criminal Element.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at December 31, 2015 03:28 PM (AkOaV)
They've already got enough lists to make tons of gun registries out of - enough to go knocking down doors when the time is "right". From anyone who ever had to file for a background check (which we all know they've kept nice and warm) to the tax records of gun sales (the way Pennsylvania makes its "gun registry") to carry licenses to FFL interstate transport records to search records of internet postings of anyone who ever mentioned anything not bad about a gun. There are precious few people who have guns who don't show up on or more of those ad hoc registries (and will never be able to be taken off, since they "aren't really registries").

We can still hear the echoes of his snickering ridicule. We can still see his staggering footprints stumbling out of a dive bar. We can still smell the aroma of his wake up breath wafting through our empty corridors.
And yet, is he truly gone? I like to think that whenever two drunks are elbow each other while telling dick jokes, he is there. Whenever people make retching sounds while watching a Democratic debate, he is there. Whenever violence threatens to erupt while discussing the relative merits of crossbows and longhorns, he is there. Whenever debate erupts about as to the propriety of the term "assless chaps, he is there. Whenever a Brian Dennehy movie graces the airwaves, he is there. Whenever a man suggests that one should "get this" or discusses the virtues of sweater puppies on elbow models, he is there.

I think about six U.S. States have enjoyed Open Carry for some time now. If memory serves, Mississippi is the most recent member of that club, with Texas joining in a mere few hours.
That I know of, there have not been wanton gunfights, much less WWF matches with Open Carriers having to put the Double Suflex on some poor miscreant whut tried to make an ill-advised grab.
If there were such incidents, they don't seem to have made it to the anti-gun websites, and the pro-gun-rights sites would damn sure have noticed those incidents, too.
And one or two such incidents, do not a pattern or trend, make.
So, what's learned is that Open Carry will result in no greater disturbance among the sheeple, than has Concealed Carry.
And, it serves to "normalize", to inure said sheeple into becoming used to and eventually un-fazed by the mere sight of an openly carried weapon.
In other words, the free exercise of our Rights will henceforth be no more a point of surprise or objection, than sitting on a park bench and reading Orwell's "Animal Farm" in public.
Just don't get caught going to a Tea Party rally though. The anti-gunners might not get you, but the IRS is likely to take notice.
Happy New Year, Horde!

Saint Paul says, "...walk in newness of life" (Romans 6:4).
What does that mean?
It simply means to get rid of all those old barnacles that have encrusted you for so long: resentments, dishonesties, rationalizations, fears, weaknesses, and so on. These must all go, so that you may "walk in newness of life."
When you're new, you feel like walking, head up, standing tall, for you have fresh new power.
That God may reactivate your life so that you may "walk in newness of life," why not just be done with some things. Get so tired of the old, so fed up with it, that you are done with it.
If you've been full of fear, be done with being full of fear.
If you've been full of error and defeat, be done with it.
Say, "By God's grace, I'm done with it," and take charge of yourself like never before.
And for certain, it will be a Happy New Year for you.

This will amuse u maybe.
Trump has a cool "national spokesperson" named Katrina Pierson. She's middle aged, ethnically ambiguous, and kind of hot.
She wears a necklace of cartridges, too. (I insist all my dates wear those. Who doesn't?)
On CNN this week, she fielded an off-topic call. The caller asked her if she wears her cartridge neklace "to remind viewers of the 90 Americans who are shot dead every week?"
Without missing a gd beat (swear to God), she replied, "Maybe I'll wear a fetus next time, to bring awareness to the 50 million aborted people who never get to be on Twitter."

No, I hate it too.
I used to prefer small parties at the homes of friends and that's certainly preferable to being in the bars as far as I'm concerned, but over the last few years I haven't even done that.
After Christmas, I feel sort of partied out for awhile and the weather is usually crappy here anyway, so I'm just fine with staying at home and watching old movies or whatever.
I was invited to a party up in Door County (about 2 and a half hrs away) tonight and I begged off. My night vision isn't what it used to be and I don't want to navigate dark country roads on NYE. And I can't stand some of the people who are going to be there and it's too cold to step outside and escape them, the way you can in the summertime.

I quit going out for NYE after the plague of Mexican illegals hit.
I swear, drunk driving is the unofficial national sport of Mexico.
Serious drunk driving. Illegals aren't much for two glasses of Chardonnay.
The male illegals in particular will drink straight through two entire cases of Tecate, get *massively* plowed, climb into their beater cars, and do stuff like drive the wrong way with no headlights.
Victor Davis Hanson, with his rural farm here in Mexifornia, writes about constantly having to pay the local wrecker to come pull crashed beaters out of his back forty (the illegals just abandon what's left of the car where it is) and then pay again to repair the fence that was smashed down.

Putin will also destroy all opposition to the Assad regime, and will bolster Assad with fresh new arms.
Barky will remain discreetly silent and there will never again be any mention of "red lines that cannot be crossed" or about how "Assad must go". Down the memory hole. The media will ask no questions other than about golf games and meeting with celebrities.

International Year of Pulses 2016
The 68th UN General Assembly declared 2016 the International Year of Pulses, as in beans, not as in "+".
The IYP 2016 aims to heighten public awareness of the nutritional benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production aimed towards food security and nutrition. The Year will create a unique opportunity to encourage connections throughout the food chain that would better utilize pulse-based proteins, further global production of pulses, better utilize crop rotations and address the challenges in the trade of pulses.

It depends partially on state law and whether you are required to provide your license or to merely present it. The Florida statute is worded such that it's technically legal just to press your license against the window so the cops can see it, but they will arrest you anyway to make sure you respect their authori-tah.

Evidently, cops don't have to stop you to give you a ticket, anyway. They can just send you a ticket in the mail for whatever infraction they think you are guilty of. That's what those red-light cameras really mean. I don't know why the cops bother stopping anyone anymore. They can make so much more money just taking down license plate numbers and sending out tickets of all sorts. And the red-light cameras say that cops could have been doing this all along.

yes its true.
For DUI checkpoints only.
The way SCOTUS ruled on the law is that DUI checkpoints are NOT a violation of the 4th amendment since no one is *required* to participate.
Cops need reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed to pull you over. a DUI checkpoint has no reasonable suspicion. So you are not obliged to take a field sobriety test or anything else.
However, my buddy was taught in police academy in CT to break the window, drag the person out of the car, and charge them with impeding an investigation if they refuse to comply at a checkpoint.
So... if you want to be the test case, i'd recommend trying it. Otherwise, I'd recommend rolling the window down at least somewhat.

Not me. The cops in this town can be pretty bitchy as it is. A friend of mine was pulled over and the reason the cop gave him was that his tags were going to expire in a month and he wanted to make sure that he remembered that. Of course my friend had just pulled out of a bar parking lot. The cop asked him if he had anything to drink and he says yes two beers. He is breathalyzed and is just over the legal limit. They are hated here for harassing the public. The Sheriffs here are great and really try and help people.

Example: Try refusing to give your permission for a search of the car when there's no probable cause for a search. Prepare to (1) wait an hour while they leisurely locate and transport a K9 dog -- hope you didn't have to be anywhere!; (2) watch while said dog cavorts across the expanse of your previously flawless and undamaged hood, roof and truck lid; (3) be amazed when the dog appears to react to something, providing "probable cause" for a search; and (4) tear up as officers rip the shit out of your trunk and interior to teach you a little something about compliance and respect.
IOW, you can't win. You can only avoid being stopped at all. If you are stopped, be cooperative.

Reasonable being the usual amount of time a traffic stop takes.
I forget the case name, or exactly how the decision was worded, but those kinds of "either let me search or we wait here on the side of the road for 3 hours for the drug dog to show up" situations are no longer legal.

Not so much. More than anything else, Shrillery's decision to stay with Bubba is an act of pure calculation. Despite his near-total lack of competence, innate selfishness and dishonesty, Billy Jeff is still revered by zillions of Democrats. More than any president in modern history, he transcended mediocrity and is judged far more kindly -- and positively -- than he deserves. She's still ridin' on that boy's coattails.
Leaving him would have made Ma Clinton look like an ungrateful bitch. And would probably have given Choom Boy an excuse to pick someone else as SecState. And would have cut her off from much of the flow of Big Bucks that has made the Clinton Crime Syndicate bigger than U.S. Steel!

I don't think they would dare stop you, my dear. As to church services on New Year's Eve, I have never ever understood that. I grew up with it, I went for years and years, the man is doing a church service tonight in fact, but to this day I do not understand the reasoning behind it. New Year's Eve is no more a religious holiday than next Wednesday. I have no objection to people worshiping any day or hour that they choose. I just don't understand why clerical staff needs to be brought into it, nor why as a teenager the only New Year's Eve party I was allowed to go to was bowling after services at the First Baptist Church. It was less than fun.

Yes, my husband's sister was married to a cop and he put a metallic emblem on her license plate frame and she never got stopped. She was one of the very worst drivers ever born. She didn't learn until she was almost 30 and whoa baby, you could tell it. She was also very beautiful, so she got stopped a lot and never got tickets, so her retort when someone would comment on her driving was,
"I get stopped all the time and I never get a ticket, so how bad can my driving be?"
The reply always was, "L---, did he ask for your phone number before he asked for your license and proof of insurance?"
Posted by: Sherry McEvil, Stiletto Corsettes now franchising Lulu Snackbars at December 31, 2015 05:13 PM (kXoT0)
I think the custom originally came from Black churches and the history of watching and waiting for the Emancipation Proclamation issued Jan 1. 1863.
I think it's great for people who feel thus inclined to gather with other believers, thank God for blessings during the past year and to seek God's face at the end/beginning of a New Year. Churches that have such a service often have the bulletin done several days before or don't have a bulletin.
I can understand it being boring as a teen having no party but a bowling party, but I never went out as a teen for NYE-not even for a church service, so anything else is a cut above. that :^)

The church I go to pretty much blows off anything after Christmas Eve. They fly the coop from Christmas Eve till the first Sunday in the New Year. So we didn't even have regular church services last Sunday. It's kind of our annual gift to the dozens of staff and about 400 volunteers that are involved in every service. Give them the week off plus, so they get a break.

Happy New Year to all of you, I hope we continue to all survive.
Now back to the valu rite I go.
PS. I had to defend the comments section at Johnny Dollar's Place the other day, and I tried to talk all civilized.

I should think that varies wildly depending on where you are. There are probably more than a few jurisdictions when that might change the entire tone of your conversation with the cops, and not in a good way.
It's always better, I'm sure, than NOT letting them know....

If you're obligated by state law you should tell them. Otherwise it's none of their business. Or it might not matter regardless and you end up with an Officer "I'm going to shoot you in the fucking head" Harless situation.

the celebration is held in some countries on the Sunday after January 1.

But she lives in The Bubble. The Left took over the schools, the media, the music industry, and Hollywood, and she's the product of nearly three decades of brainwashing. Our country is fucked.

There was actually a Supreme Court case that came out, U.S. v. Rodriguez, that addressed this very thing. Basically it it ruled that it is Constitutionally impermissible to extend a traffic stop past its initial purpose for a K9 unless the officer develops additional reasonable suspicion.

[Trump is] a man whos blended nationalism, center-left economics, and Jacksonian foreign policy into something that tastes better to members of the other party than it does to conservatives.
There's no disputing that Trump is the favored candidate of the white nationalists of the alt-right.
How do you build a conservative party if a significant chunk of it is Democratic? Or do we no longer care about conservatism so long as we've got nationalism?

Yeah, although if the cops want to fuck with you, they will get a drug dog to come out. And they almost always alert.
Just, because.
I saw a study once on false positives -- I can't find it right now, but it was ludicrous. Like 90% of the time the dog alerts, there are no drugs.
Total scam, can't believe dog whispering to find out if there are drugs is legal.

And if you talk to them in a serious way (and coming from another millennial like me, maybe they are more willing to listen), they are very willing to hear you out. They all think the government and their teachers and the media are full of shit anyways, so it's kind of easy to say "yeah, that 1 in 4 women are raped thing? They included "unwanted sexual advances" in the question." then show them the question on your phone.
I like to chip away at one or two of these assumptions with people at a time. I think I've been doing pretty well in getting people to think.
But I'm not an in your face type of person when it comes to politics. I'm more of a sneaky "yeah, I agree with you, but did you know...?" type

You made 2015 a standout year. Here are five fun facts that showed your Amazon style.[
I scrolled down, thinking they were going to say something about the purchases I made this year.
1. You spoke to the future, and it spoke back. You made Amazon Echo the #1 best seller across all $100+ products this Black Friday.
I don't even know what Amazon Echo is, and I didn't buy anything on Black Friday.
2. You were young at heart. For the first time ever, coloring books made our 2015 Best Sellers in Books list.
I did not buy any coloring books.
3. You gave binge watching a thumbs up and streamed "The Man in the High Castle" more than any other original series from Amazon.
I've never binge watched anything, and I didn't stream "The Man in the High Castle".
4. You were space explorers. The total number of hours spent reading "The Martian" by Andy Weir in 2015 on Kindle is equivalent to more than 1,000 trips to Mars on the Curiosity rover.
I haven't read the book or seen the movie. And you don't travel to Mars on the Curiosity rover.
5. You became part of the Amazon family. We welcomed more than three million new Prime members worldwide during the third week of December alone.
Wrong again. I'm not a Prime member.
But I guess it was nice of them to wish me a Happy New Year.

I have found that older democrats (for whatever reason) get really heated and go off the rails when you mention anything political at all.
So I don't really talk to them about politics.
I don't run in to that too often with people my age.
::shrug::
I don't know. I know of 4-5 people for sure I've fully converted from liberal democrat to small l libertarians who vote R. And I know a bunch of other people who I may not have convinced, but who are much more open to the idea of small government politics then they were before talking to me.

She walked my to the OTC eye stuff aisle, and found some antibiotic gel to keep on/in the eye.
The pain was awful, and the sclera was blood red for a week, but I didn't go blind. And I got out for $10 instead of $3000.

Ha, no, I don't do that kind of thing. At least I try to avoid it.
For example, I spent christmas with my girlfriends family and her sisters idiot boyfriend. Girlfriends Dad made some comment about self defense shooting (something was in the news I think) and the sisters boyfriend goes "oh in florida you can shoot anyone you want to." and so I got in to a good, productive conversation with the entire family (and used wikipedia on my phone to back up what I was saying) about what self defense laws actually look like.
And I said something like "yeah, the media lies constantly about this kind of thing. They're just trying to make narratives and sell advertising. Its dangerous though -- i wonder how many people in florida actually think thats the law? The media can get people killed!"
And I had everyone agreeing with me and saying "oh, I had no idea. Wow."

Remember that kids today are graduating college with tons of student debt only to be told there are no jobs for them, but, lots of jobs for H1B visa holders. The irony is most of them would work for exactly the same money as a visa holder, but, the visa holder is more attractive because of the laws that make it so.

It certainly had the look and feel of a story that needed more than 10 episodes to unfold... but only had 10 episodes to unfold.
Frankly, I didn't like anybody. If I can't find any characters to like, I don't care how well made the show is. Or how many people die. Or what the end result is.

Why? What do CDs pay these days? 1%? Not worth the hassle of having to trust the bank and not having truly immediate access to the cash (or the physicals) - which is what an emergency fund should really offer.
The only argument for keeping money in a bank is either one is getting good interest or one trusts the bank. These days, neither of those exist. There is no reason to keep money in a bank outside of it being too much to trust at home or the minimal necessary to do certain electronic business (or other such need for having verifiable cash). At 0% interest, banks are next to worthless institutions. And if the lefties have their way, you won't be allowed to take it out and will have to eat the negative interest they are so excited to soon force on people.

Well mine is still pretty small (maybe your 3k) because I haven't had it long and don't out much in. I have a different retirement account that's just for retirement. I do keep liquid cash in a couple online savings accounts and obviously my regular bank account. Financial goals are always useful.
I guess I should add my happy thought that I got a little raise that is about 40 bucks a paycheck

Here is an odd one.
Baltimore finally released their YTD not-fatal shooting numbers.
This is one number thatchy seem to have held close to their chest for some time.
But, back to statistics.
Chicago's percentage of shootings which are fatal?
13.3%
Baltimores?
31.75% fatal.
That's some serious statistical variation there.
Someone with a good background in crime and gangs might be able to make something of that.

My cat does that too. Comes inside with a life mouse, drops it, then moves on to whatever else it is he does.
And I'm stuck trying to sweep the mouse outside with a broom while the mouse runs and hides under the oven or whatever.
And I try to check him before he comes in, but he now puts the ENTIRE MOUSE in his mouth. Sometimes the tail will be stick out, but usually I have no idea he has a mouse until he opens his mouth and drops it. I'm like dude, you're lucky that mouse didnt just bite the inside of your mouth, you idiot.

THERE's a New Year coming, coming
Out of some beautiful sphere,
His baby-eyes bright
With hope and delight:
We welcome you, Happy New Year!
There's an Old Year going, going
Away in the winter drear;
His beard is like snow,
And his footsteps are slow:
Good by to you, weary Old Year!
The New Year comes smiling, smiling,
While the Old Year hastens away,
Unwilling to be
The one sorrow to see,
In a world so enchanting and gay.
The Old Year goes sighing, sighing;
Once he was a baby Year:
His welcome was glad;
But his farewell is sad;
He has nothing to stay for here.
There is always a New Year coming;
There is always an Old Year to go;
And never a tear
Drops the happy New Year,
As he scatters his gifts on the snow.

Cried? My cat first brought home this bunny that was so young it looked like a mouse with funny ears. Then a week or two later she brought home a juvenile bunny...neither were dead. She was just playing with them.
I found her with a baby squirrel too. And a snake. All live.
She's killed mice and birds though.

I have this same thought all the time when I look at my 90lb, 7 month old puppy. Why am I letting a wild animal live in my house? It is bizarre, but she protects me and then I remember how wonderful she is. Kittens are cute, but cats are basically free loaders that have little to contribute. I guess their ability to get rid of rodents is a positive but not when they present their trophies to you

It's the familiarity and the nag that bug me. "I know you're committed to my success, so I just wanted to be sure you got that email I sent like 2 hours ago because my records show you haven't pledged in response to it".
Dude, I used to waver between you and Trump. Now I waver between Trump and making a decision come primary day.

It's also kind of bizarre how we allow basically wild animals to live in our houses with us. They're not like dogs who are thoroughly domesticated. They're much more... well, basically in my experience they just don't give a shit and do whatever they want.
Posted by: Harry Paratestes at December 31, 2015 07:19 PM (AkOaV)
A recent sidebar article said that there was genetic evidence that dogs were first domesticated about 33,000 years ago. Cats didn't start hanging around humans until the beginnings of agriculture, less than 10,000 years ago. So yes, cats are definitely "wilder" than dogs.
My Kira is very affectionate, but she knows who the real boss of the household is. (Hint: It ain't me.)
I've said before that house pets have an almost parasitic relationship with humans. We provide them with nutritious food, clean water, medical care, shelter, and a safe place to sleep. All they have to do in return is be adorable. They got us figured out.

Cat#2 was rescued by kids and she is pretty worthless. Barfs all over the place. But she is a pretty good punching bag for Cat#1.

as soon as the BBQ Pagoda II project is done, at least the roof part, the reloading bench will be finished, presses installed, and a final decision on the shotshell press made. thinking Dillon for 12/20 gauge, and a simple hand press for the 10 gauge, since we only have one.
so far, anyway. ;-)

They'd never loan it out, the liability would be insane.
Cletus goes and blows his finger off, mis-pressing a primer into a case, and heeeeeerrrre come the lawyers, like a swarm of locust.
You'd do better to run an ad in your local paper to form a co-op of folks interested in reloading, come up with some rules, membership dues and the like, just to cover wear, tear and parts replacement(s), as needed.
Besides. 99% of degreed librarians are mega libs, and would piss themselves if they had to deal with icky, gunnie reloading gear.
Plus, they'd never know what Dewey Decimal code to put onto the Lee priming tool.
But maybe.....just maybe, you could fool 'em and tell them the Dillon 650 is a good library asset, 'cause it's a progressive loader?

Probably aboard Naval vessels they'd deploy to the S.F. Bay area.
Hangar deck on a Nimitz would hold a whole buncha reefer containers.
Doubt they'd actually use a container ship though.... they'd not want to do the loading/unloading of the containers out in the open.
But yeah.....if it went to the point that it became unmanageable, then mass graves would likely come into play.

I had a half lab half Pyrenees once. Great dog except she broke out of the fence/house and I had to give her to someone on a farm (a real one, not a euphamism).
I used to walk her and when she got tired of walking she would just sit down and lay in the middle of the road. She was at least 130. It was pretty funny/irritating!

I'm torn on what to have people do with my carcass after I kick the oxygen habit:
One side of me wants to just make a full gift - take the organs, and whatever's left, give it to the medical school and let the ghouls-in-training amuse themselves.
Another wants to just go cremation and dump the ashes wherever whoever gets stuck with the job thinks will do.
And then, there's sky-burial - something about that really appeals to me.

That seems horrible, but when you've got bodies stacked like cordwood, bloated and stinking, it becomes the most expedient thing to do to get them out of there quickly.
It's a psychological thing, too. It's just awful to have to walk around seeing bodies as far as the eye can see.

I hope all of you enjoy new years.
I've got something wrong with my digestive tract that makes me afraid to eat more than one or two light snacks a day because of the discomfort. I've been complaining to my doctor about it for two years and it's only gotten worse. Doc finally gave me an upper GI and some pills in the last few months but it has only gotten worse.
I saw the Doc yesterday and was told they'd set up some tests for me. So this morning I got a message from the hospital. "We got an request from your doctor for an urgent test for you but we're not sure if we can see you until tomorrow. Here's a phone number if you want to find out what's going on." I didn't listen to it until after 5 o'clock so I guess I'll call back tomorrow.
No word on what the test(/s) will be, if fasting is required, etc. So it sounds like the "urgent" appointment they were supposed to set up for me is now up to me to make. Assholes.

I don't know the answer to this but what did they do after Katrina? I think you have to assume a similar situation where you have no usable roads (at least not for traffic) into the city or within the city which means you might get a few airlifted out, but most are going to be in wretched condition.
I think the took a DNA sample from any they had and if you had missing family they checked yours against their collection.

I just read your comment aloud to Tucker, and he is growling in your general direction.
Honestly, he isn't much of a yapper. Only barks at stuff outside the window that he wants to eat.
And, all his best friends have been large dogs - pits, labs, etc. To see a lapdog try try chew on a pitbull is almost as funny as when said pit let's him think he's winning sometimes.
I never liked small dogs. I kinda inherited this one, but he's the smartest, most loyal dog I have ever seen. Can't imagine him not being around.

They do it a couple of ways - the best way is the Buddhist method: a monk butchers your body into manageable pieces and feeds it to vultures and buzzards and such. The Zardoshi will put the body up on a very elevated platform and let the birds go at it.
The Buddhist method has the advantage that there's nothing left over when they're done. Not even ashes.

Yeah. I'm lucky in that StinkButt is only 3. I should have him here for a good long time...
He was an ex's Christmas gift from her Mom, but she got bored with him after two months or so. Probably because he came to me all the time, and I worked with him a lot.
Now, I just treat him like a tiny roomate. He has a door to come & go as he pleases, an acre to run on, I give him food when HE says it's time to eat. IF I take him for a walk, I don't bother holding the leash because he trails/leads me by mere meters, and comes when called (most of the time).

They are sad to see. Their clothes are tatty and not clean, their teeth are bad. I've been buying wreaths from them every year now for maybe 5 years.
This year they had a Boston Bull Terrier with them. It was blind in one eye, and weirdly, had a hair-lip, so that his teeth were exposed on one side. He was the sweetest little dog you ever met. He would hop up, come over and say hello, then go back and lie down at his master's feet.
I asked them how long they had owned the dog. They said that they got him from the pound, and that the vet had said that he probably would not live six months. When I asked how ago that was, they said, "5 years". His name was Buster.

So, beagles were a big deal where I grew up, with lots of breeders everywhere.
We're at the vet one day when one of the breeders comes in - he's got a runt, and a very deformed on - he wants put down.
Thing had no nose - just two holes in the front of his muzzle - wouldn't or couldn't suckle, and was just a mess.
Doc stetho's it right there in the lobby.
"Got a heart murmur," he said. "You're right to put him down."
Stepfather - a tough old bastard, no lover of animals - walks over, looks at the pathetic little whelp wrapped in a towel.
"I'll take him. How much?"
The little guy never learned to walk in a straight line, used to get lost under chairs, and was, in truth, retarded.
He used to hyperventilate and pass out when he got too wound up.
We had Snert for twelve years..... He was a good boy.

I would bet that Tucker knows at least two dozen words, phrases, etc easily. Heck if we were sitting around having a drink right now, and he was being annoying, I could look at him, say "goodbye," and he'd turn around and leave the room.
My niece has a red min-pin, and the first time she met Tuck, she freaked. Her dog is "such a spaz!" I told her "give me Zoey for a month. She will be a different dog & you'll all be happier."

He's presented a series of proposals, each of which is under careful consideration in the Inner Sanctum of the Star Chamber of the Illuminati of Suck. Our Dark Lord His Own Bad Self - may His enemies die screaming - will then consider and render the final decision.
But this just dumping out whatever suckitude he happens to have lying around, Maet would never do. Gotta set the tone for the new year, after all.

I can't tell you the thousands of dollars which have been spent in the last twenty years, from memorial stones at the pet cemetery, to the plane tickets to bring five of them to and from Italy where they were born.
But, they are as much family as our flesh and blood son is.

Drywall? You were lucky. All we had was air, not even a shack to sleep in, we bedded down in a ditch by the side of the logging-road.
and we were grateful.

I got remarried and the new wife brought in a couple Dachshunds. Two of the nine cats hate the dogs. Sooner I can get them nice new parents before they go feral from hiding in cabinets, the better for everyone.
