I don't remember that far back, but I remember Dad buying dynamite once from State Hardware Store in Logan, Utah as late as 1955 or so.
Had a stump that had to go...and it did.

I called my daughter to ask how they are doing. "Dad, we're on the east side of the mountains and over seventy miles from the ocean. Last year's storm was a fluke and I don't think we have anything very bad this year."

Actually, it's time for the US to get rid of the UN entirely and the statue goes with them.

I disagree! The time is long past.
A suggestion: if the UN stays in business throw it out of the U. S. and make sure that the HQ for it is in the nation where the Secretary General is from. Do away with their benefits, especially their Diplomatic Immunity where it apples to violation of all local government laws such as traffic laws, behavior laws. etc.
Let them live in the country with its local facilities like roads, electricity, plumbing, education, sanitation, police units, airports, housing, shops and stores, people, etc. Withdraw our monetary support for the UN except for our fair share of the rent and justifiable services. See how they deal with that. Pull our all of their facilities except for justifiable and proven embassies and consolates. Limit the number of people allowed for each country's UN and embassy and consul employees.
Stay with it for a year or two and if it doesn't work, pull out of that mostly useless and overwhelmingly anti-American attitudes ridden trash pile altogether and permanently.

Sprinkle it in the garden, and let it "winter over." Come springtime your newly planted veggies will be happy.
Never thought of that. My roses will probably love some questionable powder that has accumulated over the years. Come Spring I'll try it.

Our family doctor when I was a kid carried a Luger that he had brought back form France in WWII.
I asked him why and he said "Because if I am to help people and save lives I have to stay alive myself."
No more was said. No more had to be.

No, that was my Dad. I contRacted to get the land prepped and the foundation laid.
That was about the time you started hauling in the materials for the outer wall.

I have an appointment with an audiologist in about four hours. Finally got the VA to look at the problem.
I'll let you know what I find out.
Well, that was anticlimactic. Yeah, I got it and it's getting worse.
Nothing can be done for certain, but reduce sugar and salt, carbonated drinks, and an entire blanket-sized list of other stuff. She adjusted my hearing aids, get more sleep (Yeah, Right!) and etdamnedcetera.

I have it on good authority that he's alive and well and living in Argentina.
Further I'll not say.
Does his probation officer know he left the country? Or maybe she went with him.

Yeah!! But my last two deliveries from Amazon came by US Mail!!
Okay, but it appears that Amazon holds the mail to a higher standard and they monitor it every step. I get great service and amazing delivery times for the mail when Amazon ships something to me via USPS...or maybe I'm just lucky.

Just thought of another that almost cost me an eye: messing with a Bantam hen's chicks under a rose bush. I was about six and ever since then I only deal with chickens if they are unhatched and/or cooked to my liking. Those little critters are deadly for their size...or for almost any size. I'd hate to meet an angry one that weighed 50 or 60 pounds
I had a scar about an inch to the right of the bridge of my nose for years.

Trampoline parks, walking across the golf course to walk in the woods, rock climbing up one of the local canyons and not telling anyone where you were going, scaling buildings to put up antennas for crystal radios, fishing alone in The West Fields, making and riding "scooters" from boxes and boards and roller skates, same for "soap box" racing cars with whatever wheels we could find, shooting B B guns and bows and arrows in the back yard, pogo sticks and home made stilts, mumbly peg, ice skating on the creeks and ponds in the area, and making match head guns out of bicycle spokes. Throwing those things called "Jarts" or lawn darts?
How about inner tubing down endless snow covered slopes, sometimes with groups of other folks, all without of any real control.
Add some more.

OHMYGOD!!!
Children with knives and fire and guns. Working with dangerous tools and climbing trees and walking to school more than a block from home. Riding bikes for miles on dangerous public roads and playing on swings, jungle gyms, and on hard surfaced play grounds. Swimming in lakes, ponds, and irrigation canals.
Their parents should be jailed and the children put into group homes where they won't be endangered.
Or maybe we should take the do-gooders, woosies and wimps out of the equation and encourage these things that many of us survived and thrived on.
How did we ever grow up and live to older ages with all we were doing as kids?
Quite nicely, thank you.

I ordered something not readily available nor commonly used from Amazon and got it in four days. I have ordered things through them and had them delivered the next day. Never have I had anything lost and the longest wait (something their source had run out of ) was thirteen days...and I could track it easily because Amazon sent me messages daily about where it was.
Why don't we turn the U. S, Mail over to Amazon?
Their system seems to work and could probably be put into action easily.

I find it wonderfully amazing that so many of God's most perfectly engineered killing machines are so elegant. beautiful in their own ways, and regal to watch.
I give you Kodiak, Polar, and RockY Mountain grizzly bears, the big cats...... and a few smaller ones........sharks, rays, Orca, and other creatures of the seas, most birds of prey, a variety of deadly snakes, and the list goes on......and on!

We were married for 51-1/2 years before she died. That was just over ten years ago and I'm still married and have no intention of ever marrying again. Why should I? God gave me a perfect match the first time around.
