Forty Rod SASS 3935

Think hard and you can find a use for all of that.

Nor cookware, unless she has mentioned that she would like it...and then only for special occasions, like Thursday, or the 17th of the month, or "I saw a cute bird in the garden this morning." (I've done this sort of thing before. )

I have received in the mail, folded inside the local newspaper, and been captive to radio commercials and huge garish roadside signs that belittle the opponents of the senders and attacking "the other side'" BY NAME and often with PHOTOs (not so often on the radio) of the person they are bashing. Often the sender is not identified or the identity is written in little teeny tiny little lettering on a back corner. Now understand, I don't give a crap how they spend their money, nor where it comes from, but it seems amazingly stupid to show your opponent's face and name in big bold full color lettering and with color photos while hiding you own. The best example came yesterday bashing Trump and saying things I don't believe are true His face was shown in full color a large size twice on the front and once on the back.........on a 5" x 10" poster type material. His name was on the same flier eight times. The sender's name (the political party of our fine state, but not one single reference to any real person, was on the bottom left corn on the back side and in lettering about 1/8" high. One more thing: I don't care what your personal life and achievements are or have been if you can't tell me of your PUBLIC OFFICE accomplishments. And don't insult me by saying what you WILL DO if elected. Simply promise me that you will TRY. Both parties are guilty, one much more than the other, but I'm not likely to vote for most of them on either side of the aisle. The stupidity of these people of any party, running for any office, and demanding my vote just simply scares the hell out of me!

I'll support it 100% for veterans, including first responders. Illegal aliens, third and fourth generation welfare families, and other dregs of "humanity" should be taken further out to sea and told to turn south and walk back. If anyone wants to pick them up and save them, they should take a trip south with them and not be allowed back either.

That would be fun, but I'd rig it with a modern engine small enough to fit and powerful enough to get it up to about 5-8 mph...maybe a Mazda or something similar.

Thought you were talking about some General's retirement parade.

My daughter is in Flat Rock. They got virtually NO damage to the house and buildings, but a section of their driveway is gone and they have tons of mud all over their place. One problem: the only road to get further inland goes right past their drive way. They aren't worried about another storm but the service and rescue tucks are destroying the road for about a half mile and further up the hill they have taken a shortcut across a neighbor's yard and are damaging his buildings. They have promised to repair the road but for now they are more interested in taking care of the people and property that has suffered.

Well, that will blow the prices on my stash of ammo right into the basement. That was my retirement funds. Seriously, I'm really glad that this is opening when it is. Thanks, SIG! Do it some more.

My daughter called yesterday to tell me her power is on...but still off in most of the town of Flat Rock. I guess they are getting to it a piece at a time starting somewhere closer the her than to the main part of town. Now if they can get the roads open so they can get gas (propane?) to heat water, room heat, groceries, fuel for cars and trucks and all the rest that just isn't accessible yet I feel sorry for those folks who lost their homes (or have them so damaged they can't use them), businesses, out buildings with all these places had in them, plus so much that was outside in the weather, livestock, etc. If you want to learn some brand new words learned from me, her husband, and a large number of others you can simply ask what she thinks of FEMA and most other U. S. agencies. She's very happy with the N. Carolina folks and some volunteers, (but she says they don't need any more bottled water). She also has nothing good to say about the news media (imagine not liking them ! She says "There are places other than Ashville!" Dolly Parton kicked in $1,000,000.00 to help. Thanks, Darlin'. You done good...AGAIN!

We were down to frigid 81 yesterday. Looking at a predicted 85 today. Last night was at 62 and predicted to be 58 today.

So show me any other reasons.

And has no one pointed out that this is the fault of left wing politicians and Union leaders who have priced everything out of the area of affordability by their policies and demands?

I am thoroughly sick snd tired of left wing commie AHs just arbitrarily attacking us for for no defensible reasons, entirely too often in violation of laws already one the books since the country was still young. They are really a small minority who lie, cheat, and steal into office because of the ignorant people who believe their BS promises and who who vote for them. Them and the other idiots who don't / won't vote for whatever reason.

Aussies and New Zealanders are exceptions, although I have never really considered them Pacific Islanders.

Frys, Safeway, Walmart all carry it here. Ask where they have hidden it. I got a two bottle pack from Amazon in only three days. (There's an Amazon hub four mile east of here. Got a pocket knife overnight...4:00pm to 9:00am...once.) It's a bit cheaper there, too with my Prime account

Right. Ask my daughter and son-in-law who live in Flat Rock. Still no power, running out of fuel for their generator, roads blocked or washed away, neighbors have lost their homes and businesses, farms destroyed, many people are still trapped in their homes, blocked or destroyed sewage, communications spotty( if active at all), not enough drinking and cooking water and none for washing, bridges out. Not much wind but the water has nowhere to soak in where they are...one of two tropical rain forests in North America... and the ground is already soaked to the max. New estimates put full recovery at about three years... and they haven't received any help from the feds. The state and a lot of wonderful service organizations and volunteers are helping, though. Look at the pictures and you'll see something I never considered: hundreds of thousands of dead fish washed way inland and dropped when the flood waters ran off. Gonna be some serious health problems down the road because of all this.

Related? Not in my family do we have and such relations. Might have at one time but none to my knowledge these days.

Sounds like a government decision. It doesn't have to take anything into consideration except what THEY think.

Cherish your time together and remember, you can do nearly anything you want to and have fun. Don't ever say "I wish we had...." Just do it!

It's a different flavor and only a few of the same ingredients. It's good on eggs and hash browns, even breakfast sausage, but I like Tabasco better on those. It's positively vile in V8 juice. V8 is best with a dash of Worchestershire sauce, a bit of horse radish and some garlic, Tabasco, salt and pepper. Serve it ice cold with darn near any breakfast except Rice Crispies or blue berries and cream.

SAY WHAT???

We started a group in SoCal called The Grumpy Lunch Bunch (Check them out on the web) that was very much like that. Every other Thursday at 11:00 we met in a different place. Some times we went on excursions like to the Autry Museum, Peterson's Car Museum, or the Route 66 Museum. Sometimes we went to some member's back yard and had a picnic....like Tom Muley's cast iron cooling. I sure miss that guy. There are only Rowdy and Donna Yates and Cliff Hanger left. There are a group of CAS shooters, rodeo folks, and regular like-minded people who meet at Zeke's Eatin' Place in Prescott every Thursday morning at 7:00. Drop on in if you're in the area. We'll be at the back of the place on the right hand side. You'll enjoy yourself and meet some of the most outlandish people you ever saw.

China Gate in Montclair, CA had an all-Chinese staff until just before we moved to Arizona. Some spoke very little English, but most could get by. The owner / manager and his two brothers got to be pretty good friends of some of the Grumpy Lunch Bunch, About two months before we left California my wife and I and another couple went in and had a Mexican lady wait on us. I asked the manager how come he hired her. He sat down, as he often did if the place wasn't too crowded and looked me right in the eye and seriously, almost sadly, said "We ran out of relatives from China. He asked if that was okay and I told him that as long as the food was excellent and the service was near-perfect I had no complaints. A few years later I learned that the place had closed. I don't miss much about California, but there were some amazing restaurants there.

We never stooped to that. We had burlap tote sacks. They were washable and reusable. Made getting a "red a$$" take on an entirely new meaning.
