""The only information we were offered from Cash was that we’re not trying to look like Duck Dynasty," Cole said. "No diss against Duck Dynasty – you're grinding in the woods all the time, you don’t really have another option."

I followed that pretty good until he got to his punchline:
Something in something is better than something in something???
Well, at least the audience thought it was hilarious.
"Accepting" an apology as fake as the "showing," then answering with sarcam.

Found on FB
Here is a really nice photo of The Hawken Rifle Factory, probably taken sometime in the 1870's or 1880's; it was located just to the right of the western approach to The Eads Bridge.According to Wikipedia, brothers Jacob and Samuel Hawken opened their first gun shop in St. Louis in 1815 (probably not in this location, though).Jacob passed away in 1849- a victim of the infamous St. Louis Cholera Epidemic- and Samuel continued to operate the business until his retirement in 1855, after which the business was taken over by his son William and his business partners Tristram Campbell, William L. Watt, and J. P. Gemmer.J. P. Gemmer continued with the business in St. Louis until he closed the shop in 1915 and retired (again, I am unsure if it remained in this location until 1915).In their day, Hawken rifles were very famous- and much sought after- owing to their excellent craftmanship, reliability, and accuracy. They are mentioned many times in western literature, and enjoyed renewed interest and appreciation after the release of the 1972 film "Jeremiah Johnson", starring Robert Redford.Jacob Hawken's burial location is unknown. Samuel Hawken lived to the ripe old age of 91 and passed away in 1884; he is buried in St. Louis' historic Bellefontaine Cemetery.

Baseball! Televised!
Dodgers v. Cubs. Yeah, preseason, but BASEBALL!
It was a bit confusing at first glance. Dodgers on defense, dark blue caps, dark blue shirts. Cubs at bat, dark blue helmets, dark blue shirts.

Yep. Never mind the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of deer and elk that have been taken with the venerable 30-30, it's totally inadequate for anything bigger than a gopher. You need at least a 11.4x99 for even California deer.

My HMO didn't do it right.
For starters, the new diabetic class was taught by an obese woman.
They handed us a needle, an alcohol pad and let us figure it out.
No mention whatsoever was made about dosing.I had to research "titrating" on a Canadian web site to get a clue.
This translates to "just fiddle with the dosage until it works for you."
When my wife was diagnosed the doctor told us a starting point, give it a few days with checking blood sugars several times a day (which she hated), and titrate up or down as needed until she stabilized at a certain range. The meaning was a little different than what I was taught in chemistry class, but the meaning was clear from context.

Then he asked me if he was doing it right. I told him to just keep doing it the way he was doing it.
"Nope. But you seem to be doing everything wrong the right way."
