My opinion. That woman needs to be fired. Then that woman needs to be arrested. She shot that man. That's a crime. Just because she's wearing a badge don't make it any less a crime. She needs to be arrested. She needs to go to jail for a long time. The city of Jacksonville needs to give that poor slob a whole bunch of money for pain and suffering. And last but most certainly not least - they need to do away with that damn "for everybody's safety I'm going to take your gun". Leave it where the hell it is.

I knew John Carter was tough, but man - he was running around the surface of Mars nekkid.

The bowl of baking soda is sitting on the counter. There is now a bowl of coffee grounds in the microwave. We shall see.

I don't think that once you have reached a base you can go back. So if B rounded first and was headed for second but had not yet got there, and saw A in the hot box (that's what we called it when I was in Little League. It wasn't run down. It was the hot box), he could turn around and go back to first. Making second be safe for A. But since he had already made it to second, and was on the bag, I don't think he could go back to first. Of course, I can certainly be wrong. I don't follow baseball.

In the video on the thread about the Honey Run bridge, it sounded like the man said the bridge burned down in the campfire. That made no sense. I do a search on the Honey Run bridge. There was a large fire in California. I believe wiki said it was the largest fire ever in California. Several billion dollars worth of damage. Including the Honey Run bridge. And it was called the Camp Fire. The wiki article told how it got started - one would think from the name that some idiot let his weenie roast fire get away from him. But no. Electric company, faulty maintenance, broken line, ARC, fire. The article told about how it got started, how big it was, how much damage it did, how PG&E declared bankruptcy because of it. Everything you would ever want to know about that fire. Except why the hell it was called the Camp Fire.

Just so everyone is aware - politicians and high-ranking religious leaders get assassinated. Everybody else gets murdered. CEO of a drug company? Murdered, not assassinated.

I thought about this, but decided against it. Didn't really know if I wanted the flavor of pine on my breakfast sausage croissant.

Like "Donald Richard", and "Donald Francis", ... Or like George Foreman - George Foreman Jr, George Foreman the third, George Foreman the fourth, George Foreman the 5th ...

Apparently this was not a problem in Germany - maybe in Germany there's no requirement to wear them - but police wearing them here in the US discovered that their seatbelt would push in the magazine release, and they will step out of the car with the magazine trying to fall out of the gun. Not good. So when they changed the PSP to the P7M8, they changed the magazine release.

Most people that are semi gun-knowledgeable are aware of heel clip magazines. That work like this Ruger. You push the clip towards the back of the gun, and the piece that is sitting atop the magazine holding it in place gets pushed out of the way and you can get the magazine out. But then we have this H&K PSP. It's the only one I know of like this. The heel clip pushes inward towards the magazine. I've had many people mess around with that for a while and finally say, "how you get that damn thing out of there??" I have no idea why that previous sentence is underlined, or why it's a link. I certainly don't know where it's supposed to link to.

So do I. I also put a paper towel over the dish before I put the plastic shield on. So if it splashes anything it will be on the paper towel instead of the sides of the microwave or the sides of the plastic cover. And it goes in the trash. That's really why I'm so surprised that I got a stink in this one. I got my first microwave in '87, I think, and I've never had one stink. I always cover the food.

The sites online suggested coffee. They said if it's a really strong smell, to use used coffee grounds. And those I have.

You know date of birth of relatives? Wow. I know my parents' and my brothers' and my daughter. I know my ex-wife's and my step kids'. If I think about it for a moment I can give it for my grandchildren. I have, depending on whether you're supposed to still count ex-steps, either one niece and one nephew or two nieces and four nephews. A couple of years ago I asked my brother's son what his birthday was. Wrote it down. Asked him what his sister's was, and wrote it down. But my ex-wife's brother's and sister's kids - I have absolutely no idea. I'm not even sure within 10 years how old they are. Probably all my aunts and uncles are dead, but I've got cousins on both sides of the country. No idea about date of birth.

Something I had not considered until they had it on a cop show. The cop did not have a warrant. So is she broke into the barn and searched it, anything she found would be fruit of the poison tree it would not be admissible. So her friend, not a cop, broke into the barn and searched it. Their plan was if he found anything he would tell her and now that a non police witness told her about it she should be able to get a search warrant. Or maybe even that would be probable cause. So your question about the DNA from the girlfriend is right along the same lines. Joe won't give me his DNA, and I can't go get Joe's DNA. But if Sally brings me Joe's DNA, can I use that. Of course there is always the problem of how to prove that that is actually Joe's DNA that Sally brought me.

As a general rule, hospitals won't tell you anything unless you are family. Unless you are related to the patient. I looked up next of kin one time. In order, it was spouse, child, parent, sibling, grandparent, uncle/aunt. And I noticed that neither step parent nor fiance was on that list. In the online story I am reading, Bill had a heart attack. They take him to the hospital, and Donna is trying to find out how he is. But they won't tell her anything because she's not related. So she tells them that she is related - she is his fiancee. She lied, but that's irrelevant. Would they consider a fiancee a relative so they can give you information? The movie WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING. Basically the same thing. The guy got knocked off the subway platform and Sandra Bullock jumped down and pulled him out of the way so he didn't get run over by the train. But he's unconscious in the hospital, and they won't tell her anything. Until she tells them that he is her fiance. Then they tell her all kinds of stuff. That was a movie. This story I'm reading is a story. In real life, would they have told her anything?

I've never had this problem before. My new one - this will be my fifth one - has recently produced a nasty odor, that I smell when I take stuff out. Apparently it just lingers in there and then my moving the food out creates air flow which makes the smell come outside into my face. I have previously had microwaves smell of what I cooked, but that never lasted more than a day or two. I have not been able to find any spilled food or anything that would account for the odor. I filled a bowl with baking soda, and when I am not currently cooking something in the microwave, that bowl of baking soda is sitting in there. It's been about a week now and I notice no improvement. Maybe I'm expecting miracles. I remember when something would overflow the pan and drip on the burner so that the oven had a odor, Mama would sprinkle cinnamon in there. I don't know if that would work with a microwave. Anybody got a suggestion?

I meet Susie. Susie has a kid. Susie and I fall for each other and we get married. I am now the kid's stepfather. But what if we didn't get married? We are still in love with each other, but we are just living together in sin - without benefit of clergy. Am I still the kid's stepfather, or am I simply the kid's mother's boyfriend?

"Watch this young chimp on the left - it's hard to see. But she's actually dabbing plant material on a wound on her mother's body." Well maybe it wouldn't be so damn hard to see if that nice red banner that said BBC wasn't across the bottom of the film blocking it out. God forbid that they don't get their advertising, even if that means you can't see what they're showing in the video because the advertising is in the way. Okay. Now I got that out of my system.

Several years ago there were many stories online about how when the cop would stop you they would take your gun and they would "unload it for everyone safety". And then when they were through with whatever they stopped you for they would give you your gun back and your ammunition back. They would not give you your loaded gun back. One guy said that the cop had to ask him how to unload his gun. It was a Ruger 22 automatic and it had a heel clip that held the magazine. The cop had never seen anything like that. And I started thinking of the various types of stuff you needed to know about a gun to make it safe. You got your double action revolver. Smith, Taurus, and Rossi all push forward, while Colt pulls back. High Standard does not have a thumb latch - you grasp the front of the ejector rod and pull It forward. Dan Wesson has the thumb latch on the front side of the cylinder and you push it down. Ruger is in the correct place but you push it in. And then you have some of the cheaper guns where you unscrew the ejector rod to open the cylinder. That's six different ways, and that's only double action revolvers. You have the Colt type single action where you have to put it on half cock, and you have the Ruger type where are you do is open the loading gate. If you have a Smith & Wesson break top - whether single or double action - there are at least three different types of openings. Webley and Enfield have that lever on the left side of the gun that you have to push down. We are up to 12, and that's only revolvers. I have automatics where you have a push button at the bottom of the left side of the trigger guard. I have some with a push button at the top of the left side of the trigger guard. Some have a reversible button, so you can switch it over to the right side of the gun for left-handers. Some H&K have a paddle type relief were you push it down instead of in towards the gun. The old Savage 32 and the new Smith & Wesson 22 Auto have a magazine release that is in the front of the grip strap. Most European guns and many American guns have a heel clip, where you push the clip away from the gun. Then you have the HK PSP where you push the clip into the gun. Now you have removed the magazines from the gun. To really unload it you need to open the chamber. Smith & Wesson's you can just pull that slide back. Colt you have to take the safety off to pull that slide back. Want to talk rifles? Bolt action rifle. Does it have a detachable magazine, or will you have to work every round through the chamber? If it has a detachable magazine, where is the detachment button? How do you get the magazine out. Do you have to set the safety in the fire position to open the bolt? Pump gun. Do you know how to work the pump? I have a hammerless Remington where you have a switch you have to push to work the pump. I have a hammer gun where the hammer has to be down. So if you wish to unload the gun, with the hammer down you work the pump. That will throw out the round in the chamber and load another round. Now you have to lower the hammer before you can work the pump again to unload that round. Shotguns. Pump - where is that pesky switch to allow you to work the pump handle? Automatic - once you pull the handle back how do you get it to go forward again to get the next round up into and then out of the chamber? Single barrel - is it got a thing on the top that you push to the side to open it, or does it have a thing on the side you push down? Double barrel does it have that sliding thing on the top or does it maybe have a pivoting lever on the bottom? Safety's on rifles and shotguns. You have your time (dammit otto, I said TANG) safety on double guns and Mossberg pumps. There are crossbolt safeties both behind and in front of the trigger. Early M1 carbines had a push button safety while later ones had a turning lever safety. Mauser safeties turned 180°. I have guns with sliding safeties on the right side of the rear of the bolt. I have ones with sliding safeties on the left side of the rear of the bolt. And we cannot forget the M1 rifle with its finger operated safety in the front of the trigger guard. I want to see your average policeman today unload an M1 rifle. But the cop has to unload the gun for everyone's safety.

Thank y'all. I did a search on "carry-on to rackenroon". One of the hits was for a site called webtoons. On webtoons I could see it. Not today's, but Wednesday's was there. But hirez came up forbidden.

We didn't have guns. The summer my older brother was 14 my mother's father died. And somehow my older brother ended up with Grandpa's 410 Iver Johnson Champion. I am pretty sure that that gun helped to feed the family during the depression. I'm also pretty sure that they did not do things sportingly. Shoot the birds on the ground, not in the air. Shoot the birds out of season. Food on the table is more important than sportsmanship. Anyway. That summer he got that 410. For Christmas he got a double barrel 12 gauge. And that was the guns in our family. A school friend of mine - Junior Assistant Scoutmaster - bought a Mossberg 320B single shot 22 from Boy Scout camp. Sold it to my older brother. Now he had three. But he decided he did not like it, and sold it to my father who gave it to my younger brother for his 15th birthday. Finally - FINALLY - for my 18th birthday I was given a 22 rifle. My first gun. Still got it. The first of a few. But everything I know about guns I had to learn on my own.

This is a webcomic. Updates Monday Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday I got this notice that said 403 forbidden. Today I got the same notice - 403 forbidden. http://www.hirezfox.com/km/ So would someone click on that and see if the comic opens? That way I would know that it's me that can't get in. Or if you get the same 403 forbidden, then I would know that there's a problem with the website. Thank you anybody.

I see three pistols, a knife and a shotgun. "Stole the guns"? Or do you mean John Dwayne? This is the only picture I can find of him. Appears to be carrying guns.
