I did not think about one hold-down encircling long ways. I was thinking about one around the head and one around the foot.

Military funeral, and the wind is blowing. How do they keep the flag on the coffin? You could use bungee cord on the end that attaches to the pole because it's already got grommets. But the other end?

The signs from the Jim Crow era - that said that only white people could eat in this restaurant or that only white people could drink from this water fountain or that only white people could use this public restroom - they had the law behind them. And they changed.

"These Guys and Gals are Plumb Crazy" Thank you thank you thank you. There is a YouTube video where there is a bunch of Southerners trying to explain to northerners why it is that Southerners say something is "plum good" or "plum pretty" or "plum crazy". And all these Southerners - the cast from IT'S A SOUTHERN THING - are trying to explain why something is "plum this" and "plum that" (like maybe something is plum good because plums taste so good), and I'm sitting there listening to that and thinking Don't these morons know that it's PLUMB, and not PLUM?

Another reason that you should be happy you moved to Arizona.

This was a television show. Archie was a person of interest in a robbery. Someone tried to shoot Mike. They found a gun thrown in a storm drain. Tests proved that it was the gun fired at Mike. It was registered to Archie (do they have gun registration in Nevada?) Later they find Archie, dead, in the trunk of a car. And my brain went sideways. If they could prove what time Archie was killed, and Mike was shot at at 9:00 and Archie was killed at 7:00, then obviously Archie did not shoot at Mike. But if Mike was shot at at 9:00 and Archie was killed at midnight, then quite possibly he shot at Mike and then someone else shot him because either A - he failed to kill Mike. Or B - dead men tell no tales. Which made me wonder whether it would be possible to tell who was shot first. You see?

Really? It is a fee imposed by the government. By definition, that is a tax.

The same reason you have to pay tax on your car every year. Because the people in charge want your money.

Let's suppose that we have Joe over here and he has been shot to death. And we have Bob over here and he also has been shot to death. Now I understand that they can take the bullets and compare them and decide that the same gun was used to shoot the two men. But can they tell which was shot first? Assuming they were shot several hours apart, if Ducky is to be believed, they could tell which was shot first by the condition or the temperature of the corpse. But if they were shot in a fairly close time range, could the cops tell which was shot first?

Friend of mine had a book. Title was something along the lines of 5003 LIMERICKS, DIRTY AND OTHERWISE (there are no otherwise) I recall a few, but we can't put them here.

Definitely an interesting read. I have NEVER used mineral oil on utensils. Because mineral oil is petroleum. That just always seemed like a bad idea.

How about if you just had a layover? Flew from Wichita to Nashville one time. And had to wait for the longest damn time because the pilot was timed out. And we had to wait for another pilot. We also change planes but that's irrelevant. Let's say that we're flying from Chicago to Tallahassee and we stop in Atlanta because the pilot is timed out. And we land, and nobody but the pilot gets off the plane, and a half hour later we take off again and continue on to Tallahassee. One flight or two? As to my original question, I absolutely agree, that's three flights. I'm surprised because I thought everybody else would tell me I was an idiot and that it was one. But three flights because of three planes make sense. But notice in this example, just one plane. No one gets off. They land and then they take off again. One flight or two?

When I first started legally carrying, Florida law said you could not carry into a bar. Taking my daughter out to dinner one night and as we walked into the restaurant I noticed they had a bar. So I went back to the truck and I put my pistol in the glove box. All during supper I thought how stupid that was. Couple of days later I wrote a letter to the department of agriculture. Here in Florida, the department of agriculture are the people in charge of concealed carry. And I asked if that was considered a bar. The nice lady that responded told me that as long as I did not go into the "bar section" then I could absolutely wear my pistol in the restaurant. I could even drink. I just could not carry in "the bar". Notice - I did not ask a police officer. I did not ask an attorney. I did not ask at my local gun shop. I asked the people in charge, that regulated the rules. If I was worried about whether it was legal to carry two guns, I would either get in touch with the department of agriculture again, or possibly with our local state's attorney - since he's the guy that would be prosecuting me if it turns out that's illegal. Ask the people that know. And in my experience, police don't know.

Couple thoughts here. And these are just my thoughts. That Josey Wales thing. I totally despise pictures showing that shot up blowm to hell flag. If your flag looks like that, you are supposed to fold it up and take it to the Boy Scouts or the VFW where it will be decently and respectfully burned. Having your flag in that condition if an insult and a disgrace. And second, Josie was Confederate. That's not his flag.
